Bethesda has finally released the creation kit tools for Skyrim! For those of you wondering what those are and what they mean for Skyrim Online, here's the jist of it.

The creation kit is a set of development tools that can be used to easily create mods for the PC version of Skyrim. It's free to download for all Steam users. (This also means if you have a "cracked" copy of the game, you will have to BUY the game to use these tools).

"Mod-makers have a long history with Bethesda Game Studios, bringing to life new quests, locations and characters, as well as making changes to game from subtle tweaks to full-blown overhauls," said level designer Joel Burgess. "With the Creation Kit, the same tool we used to create Skyrim, there's almost no limit to what can be accomplished... and we're putting that power in your hands."

In correlation to Skyrim Online, these tools will help boost content development, and really give us much more of the power we need to bring you a multiplayer experience we can all be proud of.

New Homepage!

While you were all sleeping we implemented a snazzy new homepage for you to stare at! After we removed Wordpress we felt a homepage was rather lacking, so we made a new one. The new homepage implements a few needed things that should help new players get started quicker and easier.

  • We've added game information, which includes a game tutorial and the current features of the game.
  • We've also updated the team list with the active members names. (Hoping to expand on this in the future)
  • A new media section was added where we will add our favorite Screenshots/Videos from the community
  • And a FAQ is in the process of being built, and will be added within the next day or two.

Don't forget that we're still looking for experienced C++ developers. If you want to look at the requirements and expectations we have, please check the "Openings" section.

This is just a reminder that we're still looking for new experienced developers. Please post an application in the apply section of the forum if you want to join! Here's all the current information -

The current team is broken up into three sections:

  • Core Developers (Management, Architecture and Features)
  • Developers (Feature Implementation)
  • Testers (Playtesting, Code review)

  • What we're specifically looking for: Volunteer/hobbyist programmers that are adept to expert level in C++. This means developers and core developers. The ability to co-ordinate and work well within a team is a plus.
Development is divided into Scrum-like teams, with milestone based agile development. Teams are divided on major features, and it is expected of each individual to bring a certain amount of dedication to the table!



Thanks,
Charlie
