The featurette also acknowledges Skyrim’s contributions to meme culture. (“I didn’t want the player to see them as monstrous, I wanted them to look gentle,” Lobe explains.) This is far from the only real person developers used as a design cue - certain character classes were based off of colleagues and friends. The YouTube feature shares the design process behind the werewolf, as well as the fact that the design for the giant is based on Lobe’s dad.
“None of us knew how the game would turn out, but we all knew that it might actually be good if we all just gave it our best,” Lobe says, in the video’s introduction.ĭigging into these new Easter eggs, and learning more about the storied game’s development, is a truly delightful experience. Lobe interviews Joel Burgess (level designer), Lianne Cruz (animator), Salinee Goldenberg (video editor), Dennis Mejillones (character artist), Nate Purkeypile (world artist), Rashad Redic (world artist), Jean Simonet (programmer), and Mark Teare (FX artist) and chronicles their individual contributions and camaraderie. None of these developers still work at Bethesda, but all of them had meaningful reflections about their time working on Skyrim. The mini-documentary also shares new stories about early ideation, level design (from dungeon lighting to city layouts), and character animation - including showing off lots of concept art for environments, creatures, and critters. Together, they give new insights into the game’s creation and how it turned into such a massive cultural influence. 4, character artist Jonah Lobe featured nine developers, including himself, that worked on Skyrim. In this 53-minute video, released on Dec. And a new YouTube retrospective “A SKYRIM DOCUMENTARY | You’re Finally Awake: Nine Developers Recount the Making of Skyrim,” celebrates that 10-year-anniversary by digging into the game’s development. Yes, that’s 10 whole years of dragon shouting through Tamriel, riding Shadowmere up rocky ledges, conjuring Atronachs, becoming over-encumbered with loot, losing Lydia repeatedly, and definitely getting to the final boss battle.
Skyrim’s 10-year-anniversary was in November.
