We are a community project for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, creating a fanmade expansion as part of the Beyond Skyrim project. From our website:
Beyond Skyrim is an ambitious community modding project working together to bring the other provinces of Tamriel into the game and timeline of Skyrim. You will be able to travel to entirely new locales, fight new enemies, experience new storylines and more, all in an entirely lore-friendly and immersive world. It is composed of separate teams working on separate provinces, but working together to create a single, unified package.
Entirely staffed by volunteers, we aim to match or surpass the original game's quality in terms of writing and assets. Our team, on the smaller side, is currently seeking a few specialists in the following:
Writers. To create new quests, NPCs and their dialog. The ideal candidate has an interest in Elder Scrolls lore & the fantasy genre, notions in narrative design, and the ability to stick to a premade format, essential for our dialog writing and implementation process.
Organic modelers. For modeling new creatures & NPC races. The only requirement is the ability to model and texture creatures based on existing concept art, within the constraints of Skyrim’s engine and rigs.
Environment 3D artists specialized in architecture. We are looking for 3D modelers specializing in architecture able to create tilesets with trimsheet texturing. You would be editing existing models, creating new ones, and working with our concept artists and level designers to construct dungeons and settlements.
We wholeheartedly welcome students, hobbyists, beginners... There is no cap to how many people can apply to a single position, just keep in mind we are a small team manually reviewing your portfolios, so some delays can happen after applying 😉 As we offer no financial compensation, you will not have deadlines. Working with a large international team within a complex project, the Beyond Skyrim project is a great professionalizing opportunity, counting many now-pros who originally started their gamedev journey within our community. Our artists remain owners of their work & we enforce no NDA.
I will be happy to answer any questions in this thread. If you are interested in our project but do not match the aforementioned skillsets, we nonetheless encourage you to apply (here), we're always on the lookout for new people!
