Skyrim - Hearthfire Team Diary

RPGWatch · Sun, 2nd Sep '12, 12:00pm

I don't think we've covered the latest Team Diary from the Skyrim team, covering off the incepton of Hearthfire from a Game Jam entry from Bruce Nesmith, Robert Wisnewski and Kurt Kuhlmann:

In its Game Jam reveal, the house-building feature was simple - a small cabin that included a forge for players to create objects that would then become part of the house. Even in a preliminary state, the concept was lauded by the team and became a clear candidate for future Skyrim content.

"Soon after the Game Jam, the [Skyrim] add-on ideas were being reviewed, and this was one that Todd definitely wanted to see put in the game somewhere," added Nesmith.

As 2011 came to a close, Nesmith's focus shifted to Dawnguard, and co-lead designer, Kurt Kuhlmann took an interest in further developing the project with Wisnewski.

"It was essentially the first thing I started working on for Skyrim after the Game Jam," recalls Kuhlmann. "I was actually working on it on my own time in December and throughout vacation. I just continued on with my own experimenting to see how elaborate we could get with this."
