Overview

Software Framework: TESV: Skyrim Creation Engine

Project: Skyrim Overhaul Mod: Baldur’s Gate

Duration: February 2016 - Present

Nashkel is a multi-cell, non-encapsulated world space centered on a small town, developed for the Skyrim TESV Engine using the Creation Kit. This level is designed on the original Nashkel zone from the 1998 CRPG Baldur's Gate 1. As part of the development challenge, only 3D assets packaged with the Creation Kit were used for development. The area features more than 30 unique NPCs, multiple AI packages and quests, and significant cinematic quest-sequence scripting.
