Bloodhunt: Screens from Hircine's hunting grounds

I was in a screen-shot grabbing mood, so I decided to take a few shots of the landscape from our upcoming mod called Bloodhunt, which takes place in the hunting grounds of Hircine's realm. I hope you enjoy the beautiful landscapes as much as I did! Ionis, our lead level designer, did a fantastic job!

(And that's my character in the last shot! "Wish you here, mum!")

Idea Men (or Women) Wanted!

That's right, you're not dreaming, your time has come, Idea People! How many times have you spammed developer after developer with pages and pages of your crazy ideas!? Well now your ideas are actually being requested! :O

The Beyond Team realizes that when it comes to planning a project, the more heads banging together the better! So now we're looking for intelligent Idea People to join our team and private forum, to help in the development of our Skyrim projects.

So what does it take to be an Idea Person? We're looking for people who can manifest the following qualities:

• A good understanding of Skyrim lore, or at least the willingness to research particular parts of it, as relevant.
• The ability to form relevant ideas, that are both lore friendly and fitting to the style and feel of Skyrim and TES games, and to help develop the ideas of others.
• An understanding of the game development process, and of the capabilities of the Creation Kit is preferred.
• The ability to write concisely and not write novels during idea discussions.
• The ability to let it go if your idea isn't used.
• The ability to keep an open mind, and carefully consider what others are saying.
• The ability to work in a team, in a friendly manner, without engaging in ego wars.

So, if you're interested and feel you can meet these requirements, please drop me an email at typingsound@gmail.com with your answer to the following two questions:

1) If you could create a mod for Skyrim, in one paragraph what would it be?

2) If you could improve a current mod of Skyrim, what mod would you improve and in what way/s would you improve it?

Good luck!

By the way guys, we love fan-art! So if anyone wants to get their work displayed on our blog,
make something nice and tell us about it!

2d Game Concepts

The Beyond Team has been hard at work these past few months, working on our new 2d game and also our Skyrim projects: Northpoint (in High Rock) and Hircine's Hunting Grounds.

Here are a few early concept images from our currently untitled 2d game, by our artist Jimmy Nilsson:
