This advent calendar originally occurred in December of 2023, this is simply a compilation of the showcases for easy access! Currently the teams are preparing for the Mod Con in August, and I would expect there to be a good chance of a 2024 advent calendar this upcoming December as we have done in years prior.
Also for those losing patience, shut up. It's a free project made by unpaid developers who are doing this merely out of a place of passion. A little perspective on the matter won't hurt you.
People are aloud to lose patience & interest in the project. It's been nearly a decade after all. But what they shouldn't be doing is whining & complaining to the devs. This is a passion project on a massive scale & it's free. The last thing the devs deserve is harassment for the time it's taking
ayyye good work fellas. This is the dream of the Elder scrolls. Cant wait to just sit down on the sands of the gold coast and just soak up the goodness. See yaz with Modcon!
I have always been a supporter of this Project, I jumped on the Supporter bus after I played Bruma for only 5 minutes of just beginning the quest line... I am looking forward to the next steps in this massive project and I am always willing to test it out like I did when Bruma was in Early Access
Wonderful work! With the Beyond Skyrim projects and The Wayward Realms in development, I haven't been this excited for the future of gaming in a very long time.
Man the day this drops im going to take a week off work its gonna be amazing:) gonna be good times literally any of the provinces drop will be a a GREAT DAY. Thank you for continuing to keep the dream alive.
More than happy to play small chunks of this as they become available, like fan-made dlc's. I imagine that would be the most rewarding and engaging for volunteers working on it as well; while also giving project managers the time needed to massage and develop the high-level regional storylines. Great showcase and stunning work all around. It might be hard to be an ES fan right now, watching all this wonderful stuff ripening yet in the works for so long. However, the ongoing work is what makes Skyrim as perennial an experience as Morrowind has been, with its modding scene and Project Tamriel attracting new players 20+ years after release. So it is and will continue to be for Skyrim-long live the modding community!
Considering the scale of the project the astronomical wait makes sense, but I can't help but wonder what a different timeline looks like where the entire team focused on one expansion at a time and released them in sequence, ESO style.
@@NuclearspartanX Also these people picked projects *they* wanted to work on, if for example the Argonia team was told to work on Cyrodiil, I'd doubt they'd do it with the same enthusiasm.
When TES6 comes out, it'll rejuvenate the projects interest and more people might join the teams but I agree. It's a lot of work for volunteering, yet there is a point where they just need to finish it and update it later
At this point, i wish bethesda would actually hire these guys so they can work on it full time. The modding community is the only thing that keeps players playing skyrim and fallout. Bethesda needs to be grateful for that
This is recapping a collection of showcases we did last December. As we head into ModCon next month, we thought it would be good for those who might have missed them the first time around to have them available so they could catch up on the progress.
3:07 "pig like reptiles" oh the paleo side of me cries as you call a dicynodont an early steam mammal a reptile(Therapsid at that). jk tho I like the model and I hope you guys for a smooth progress.
@@Reedstilt its all right but if you are interested on weird looking animals the rhynchosaurs would be fun with those rodent upper tooth(it also was keratinize)
@@praise_kek340 Back in 2022, I put together a brainstorming doc for our concept artists and 3D artists to use while creating creatures for Argonia. One of the main sources of inspiration were a variety of Permian and Triassic animals. We wanted prehistoric vibes without become Jurassic Park, so dinosaur inspirations were kept to a minimum. The murrawi is one example that has gone through the whole concept art to 3D cycle. One of the creatures that, so far, only has concept art is loosely inspired by rhynchosaurs. Consider it an example of what rhynchosaurs might have evolved into if they hadn't died out in the early Mesozoic. Hopefully it'll get its 3D done someday.
No matter how many updates skyrim will get, I will always downgrade it if this comes out and requires it (lucky steam has a downgrade feature built in! Pretty much you can download the game and then select which version you want from properties). I'd even buy the new fising version they made if this only works on there; I'm that hyped for this. A bigger world beyond skyrim! Imagine all the adventures! Even better if it releases and nexux has a beyond skyrim section for mods on this mods! Like new housing! :D But the best part is seeing all these older places again. I tried the Bruuma version a long time ago and it was so early it ended really quick; but even being stuck on that snowy hill looking past the invisible wall it felt magical ! Keep it up everyone! You're doing fantastic! 👍
9:40 those inorganic Atmora monsters are horrifying, reminds me of the twisted l'cie in that one FF game, I forget which installation, some of those looked really grotesque. In other words, perfectly designed to make Atmora an even more unsettling and disturbing experience. I can hardly wait to play!
Not that crazy when you consider something of this scale, development, scope, and management is rarely if ever done in the professional, paid sphere of game development, let alone from the blood, sweat, tears, and passion of developers working in their spare time. Yeah, it might seem "crazy" to someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.
Actually if you check the map they posted, Cyrodiil is well on its way. I know the map isn't all there is to gauge progress, but it's still a good sign. I *think* they've mentioned a 2025 release date for it, but don't quote me on that, and delays are always possible.
@@zhop951 Cyrodiil definitely won't be done by 2025. You may be thinking of Skyblivion. We still have quite a few years of work left before we finish Cyrodiil.
@@jimjam7928 Bro stfu. You've left like a dozen comments constantly asskissing the devs and condescendingly ragging on people who show even the slightest bit of skepticism. You're an insufferable douche and are worse than all the naysayers
An Advent Calendar is a holiday tradition. It's used to count down the days until Christmas. Usually there's a chocolate hidden behind each day and the children compete to be the one who gets it.
@neil168 took care of the traditional side of thing, so I'll explain the Beyond Skyrim side of things. Each year we do a series of showcases in December. One a day, from the 1st to the 25th, rotating through the various teams. This video is a compilation of all the showcases form last December, which is being released now so the people who missed it the first time around can see it before ModCon hits next month.
@@Reedstilt Thank you that helps! So will there be 25 day advent showcases this December too from all BS teams? Also nice subtle hint on next month's Modcon! I heard many teams wont participate. But some of them will?
It's amazing how much stuff has happened in my life since the Bruma "pre-release" came out... Kinda hard to follow this project and not be skeptical that even one of these projects is gonna be finished.
@@neil168 Why bother to bitch about someone complaining? Aren't you sheep supposed to "like it slide off your back", or whatever boring rhetoric you preach?
2:33 Assuming you're using Icelandic patronymic surname system this character's surname would not end in "dóttir" but in "sson". Unless this character is trans.
Do you guys plan on updating skyrim itself and use some of the assets and stuff that's used elsewhere and make it feel more interconnected to the other areas?
Nope, to ensure the best compatibility with other mods Skyrim itself will be touched as little as possible. In general only the areas around the border gates will be altered.
Tbh you overshot, doing everything at once. Would love to play even one region of Tamriel from this project (not counting Bruma), but i am scared this time never comes. What's worse it may be not that appealing to play it when it finnaly releases since gamedev has moved forward since. I hope i am wrong.
@@jimjam7928 you are a sycophant and a buffoon. people like you make the waiting 10x worse. nobody cares if "theyre working on it for free" if at the end of the day its still not out after all these years. the devs dont need your glazing to keep their morale up. stop berating people for being rightfully skeptic and doubtful
You will be surprised how "woke" Beyond Skyrim is... With interracial couples like Orc-Argonian, Orc-Dunmer and Redguard-Nord, etc. Oh, and the last time I checked the captain of Sheogorads guards was gay and in an open relationship. Just a small reminder; the Empire is based on ancient Rome, a society where homosexuality was quite common. Also about Bethesda, Starfield was pretty well bug tested (for Bethesda) and it's not like Beyond Skyrim was bug free.
@@K_1_T_S_U_N_E Actually for a long time it was outlawed in Rome, because they'd seen what happened in other cultures, many of whom they'd conquered and destroyed. Eventually of course Rome declined and started to go down the slippery slope as well, and once it did, boom, next thing you know you got calligula going around dressed up like a werewolf raping little kids and ripping their throats out.
The perfect time for an advent calendar, July 8th.

forgot "beyond skyrim" was a thing (with exception of bruma mod), only saw this due yt recommendations - glad its still being worked on
The longer this takes, the more worried I am that nothing else will get fully finished.
just a decade to go, be patient..
I know they want it to be perfect but you are right you should strike gold when the rod is hot
We're all focused on getting something out the door. It just takes a lot of work, especially making things as bug free as possible is a ton of work.
