    Report on the progress of porting Morrowind to a more modern engine and basically redoing it all from scratch, including voicing every single NPC. And they are getting dangerously close to a release. Still looking for people to help them cross the finish line, though.

    This is very exciting! It's a bit wild to see something I've been dreaming about for over a decade be so close to launch

      Skyblivion is scheduled for release this year, by the way. Not as exciting, but I'll most likely play it.

        I'm... probably going to try it? but I have to be realistic, Oblivion is just boring to me. It's probably still leftover vibes from when it launched, when a very Morrowind-minded me went in expecting the same sort of stuff, and it was just a seemingly boring medieval world, with very little of the whimsy and magic of Morrowind. I did play a couple hundred hours of it, but that pales in comparison to Morrowind and Skyrim, which managed to bring a good chunk of the magic back.

        I think Skywind is the game i'm most looking forward to in the next couple of years, when we're talking new "games"

    Not to mention the professionalism of how it's presented. I would kill for the sales or project teams at any of my past jobs to be able to deliver information this well-organized and succinct.

    EDIT: Oh, they still need writers for the expansions. I think I'm going to apply.

      I've been in a political party that withered because it successfully marketed itself as capable, totally forgetting to invite competent people. Or rather, too scared to invite them so as not to look incompetent. It was so sad.

      But these guys, just wow.
