00:00Welcome to a special Skyblivion Showcase.
00:04We are a purely volunteer team of fans and modders
00:07working to make a freely available remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine.
00:12Our aim is to bring The Elder Scrolls IV to a new generation of gamers
00:17and reintroduce it to longtime fans of the series.
00:21More than just a one-to-one remaster of the original,
00:24we're aiming to upgrade much of its system, locations and graphics
00:29to be more in line with modern RPG expectations.
00:33We've been hard at work on Skyblivion since 2016,
00:37but are finally less than a year away from release
00:40and want to give you a special sneak peek of the progress we've made.
00:45As one of the largest fan-made modding projects in Elder Scrolls history,
00:49it's been a long path to get to this point,
00:52but as fans, first and foremost, we want to do our remake right.
00:57So let's dive in, shall we?
01:05We begin our showcase along the westernmost tip of the Gold Coast region of Cyrodiil
01:10in the city of Anvil, the seat of power for County Anvil.
01:14Known for its large harbor teeming with imported wares from Valenwood and Hammerfell,
01:19the city is, at its heart, a trading hub.
01:22When remastering Anvil, we wished to implement the original concepts of the city,
01:27which were imagined around a large central harbor basin.
01:31Our redesign proudly boasts a harbor fit for a city built around maritime trade.
01:37Additionally, we've expanded the bustling docks outside the city walls.
01:43When entering Anvil via the main gate,
01:45you'll find yourself in the West Gate district with its iconic mermaid statue.
01:50Here, you'll find shops to trade the loot you've collected on your travels,
01:55and inns that offer warm meals and cozy quarters,
01:59as well as a new open-air market and alchemy store.
02:02This area serves as Anvil's commercial hub.
02:06To expand upon this, we relocated the only general store, Lels Quality Merchandise,
02:12to this district from its original location outside the city walls.
02:16This is because Anvil originally had but a single store,
02:20the blacksmith, Morvane's Peacemakers.
02:23We've also included an additional store to further enhance the shopping district,
02:28Tide and Tonic, Anvil's new reserve of all things alchemical.
02:34Following the path right, you'll come to the residential district.
02:38Here, Anvil's middle and upper classes live in terraced homes.
02:43At the pinnacle of the residential district stands the estate of the famed Argonian author, Quillweave.
02:50This district is where the residents of Anvil reside after a long day working on the docks,
02:55or communing at the chapel,
02:57and thus we've tried to reflect this in the class distinct clutter you'll find in this part of the city.
03:03Returning back along the harbor, we next visit the Guild Gate district.
03:08Here, one may find the headquarters of the Mages Guild, with its manicured grounds,
03:13and the Fighters Guild, with its practice targets.
03:16Guild Gate also features a harborside warehouse and a shrine to Dibella, the divine matron of the city.
03:23This district overlooks Anvil's inner port,
03:26where wares and supplies are boated into the city via the large ships docked outside.
03:32Here, you'll be able to navigate to either end of the city, close to the water's surface,
03:37with the Guild Gate district looming above.
03:40Continuing along the harbor, we are greeted by the long-abandoned Banaras Manor.
03:45Despite its neglect, and an unsettling eerie quality, the dwelling does have the potential for majesty.
03:54Opposite sits the Anvil Supply Checkpoint, where goods and wares are inventoried before leaving the docks.
04:03The local guard barracks lie further along the main road,
04:06with its imposing structure and training yard keeping Anvil's protectors honed for the fight.
04:12Rounding out of the Chapel Gate district is its namesake, the Chapel of Dibella.
04:17Its lush grounds make up the remainder of the city within the walls.
04:21The sprawling cemetery, dotted with grave markers and tombs,
04:25is a sobering reminder of the danger facing sailors on the high seas.
04:30In reimagining Anvil, we've significantly enhanced the docks and the lower-class quarters,
04:35both located in the dockside district, beyond the protection of the city's mighty walls.
04:41This bustling area is alive, with vendors hawking their wares and seedy inns catering mostly to dock workers.
04:50Alongside the docks can be found the fortified bastion of Anvil Castle,
04:54home to Countess Milona Umbranox, who has ruled since the mysterious disappearance of her husband.
05:01This coastal bulwark's fearsome defensive capacity is rivalled only by the elegance of its splendid halls
05:08and grand balcony offering sweeping views of the ocean.
05:12No showcase of Anvil would be complete without the iconic lighthouse.
05:17Here, on the shores of the Abessian Sea, one can view great stretches of the Gold Coast.
05:24If you enjoyed this video, we encourage you to follow along with our progress
05:29as we soon look to showcase some of our more ambitious work in the upcoming developer diaries.
05:36Finally, since its conception, Skyblivion has always been a community-led project.
05:42If you have the skills to elevate the project even higher,
05:46we invite you to volunteer at skyblivion.com forward slash volunteer.
05:52Specifically, we're currently in high need of skilled 3D artists and experienced Skyrim modders
06:00familiar with scripting quests, editing records, perks, NPCs or level design.
06:07We hope this sneak peek has given you a better insight into the project
06:11and perhaps has shown how you might be able to contribute.
06:15Only with the Elder Scrolls modding community's talents
06:18and the support of this fantastic community
06:21could we have ever gotten this far.
