During a recent developer livestream, the Skyblivion team shared some promising progress updates on their ambitious remake and its path to completion.

I mean that’s awesome, but it’s a mod now almost 15 years in the making. I gave up hope about 10 years ago

Why? they’ve released regular updates this entire time with obvious documented progress.

Ever since I’ve been acquainted with the project some years back, they’ve been asking for more volunteers to contribute in order to speed up the process.

I guess at face value not many did.

Define many. I do think the team is quite large, but they aren’t full time employees but volunteers with real jobs on the side.

No. It’s already defined. Read a dictionary ffs.

Yes, hence the more volunteers part since none could be reasonably asked to be available at any time. Rotation, ppl!

There were many volunteers. But its their free time, so for a project such as this, “many” people will still take a lot of time doing it.

Demanding “more volunteers!” While not doing shit yourself makes you look like a bitch.

I’m with you in principle: 99% of these big fan projects never end up finished or released and it’s better not to set yourself up for disappointment. Rarely however, they do actually pull through. Fallout: London was a resounding success, and it does actually seem like Skyblivion will happen. Their progress is well documented and they’re so close to the finish line now I can’t see them not making it.
