Hello 👋,

One of my friends who posts here told me it would be sweet if I tried out an AMA here so here goes.

I have been a programmer for the mod since 2019 and have been working on the project I would say almost every other day, except for holidays of course. Working on the game has been really exciting and I’m really proud to be a part of it and I really really can’t wait for people to start playing it! It’s honestly such a cool mod and we have an incredibly talented team of people who have been working on this thing nonstop.

Anyway, cheers for having me and thanks for the questions!

It’s looking so good already and I’m very excited to play. No questions. Just congrats on the progress

[–] graymess@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've been following Skyblivion for at least as long as you've been involved with the project, so first: Thank you so much for all your work. Second: Congratulations on the absurd amount of progress. That is so fucking impressive that you're this close to release.

I've been curious for a while now, but how prepared is the team for the final steps of QC before the big launch? I imagine the passion involved in creating this project from the ground up and seeing it to completion is excellent motivation, but even the most dedicated creators must hit a wall when it comes to the daunting task of bug fixing a Bethesda-sized game. Do you feel like you know what to expect when you get there or is it still kind of an unknown at this point?

Not to be too much of a dork but "what we have left to do" feels a lot like "what is to be done", do you have a lot of filthy pinko commies on board?;)

[–] Skyblivdev@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

We don’t really focus on politics much because we are just developing a mod so I don’t see any place where there’s time to discuss it. Todd is a billionaire but a good stand up guy so I guess the fact I like a billionaire means I can’t be part of your club lol.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Haha, fair. It wasn't a serious question.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

making software for free is pinko-adjacent at least and always has been. if you get the chance to point off a ledge and tell hodd toward he can go there and then push him that would be really cool.

[–] Skyblivdev@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In game maybe.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

probably fits better as a fallout easter egg, i don't get the read that TES heads have quite the same disdain.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

seriously? did no one here learn from the last obviously fake ama

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

1 - sorry, which one?

2 - who cares if we're just unknowingly participating in a silly larp?

Sorry that you think I’m fake?

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fwiw I don't care that you're fake;)

All joking aside it's a weird thing to bring up. Of course there's a chance you're "fake" and doing a bit but... What are the stakes here?

[–] Skyblivdev@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mean wouldn’t the stakes be higher if they pretended to be a dev from a bigger company, not imitating a dev from a small mod project? But that’s just me, I think it would be a bit sad for someone to pretend to be someone else and do Q&A like this. What would that person be achieving, really?

Also let me get this straight, someone else did an AMA pretending to be a Skyblivion dev before I did? Or do people on here just pretend to someone else and stage a fake Q&A?

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

I have no idea. I don't remember any other game/dev Q&As, so I assume they just mean another Q&A generally. Weird thing to accuse you of because yeah, why wouldn't you claim to work at Bethesda, for example?

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Can you hide a Hexbear reference in Skyblivion?

[–] Skyblivdev@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Got any suggestions?

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Pig poop balls lmao

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Actually at this point I think beanis beanis is the bigger Hexbearism

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Beanis beanis is the kind of thing that wouldn't raise eyebrows for the general public but we would notice and appreciate, if you're serious:)
