Don't you want to see goofs and spoofs? Wondermark #1582

::: spoiler Alt text This actually isn't good! Phones only show you horrors when they're VERY DEPRESSED, or at any other time :::

::: spoiler Transcript Device: Hey! Hey! I can’t help but notice you’ve been holding me less. I miss you. I miss your nimble taps and swipes.
Person: It’s because you’re a portal to horrors! Nothing personal. It’s just… you are a portal. And there are so very many horrors.
Device: I’m a portal to everything. Don’t you want to see goofs and spoofs? You love goofs and spoofs!
Person: I do love goofs and spoofs.
Device: I’ve got so many goofs and spoofs.
(Person reaches for device)
(Person is thrown back; device displays "HORRORS" into the room) :::

TIL baking and brewing yeasts produce alcohol to kill off competing microorganisms

The Crabtree effect is where Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces yeasts digest carbohydrates both anaerobically – producing ethanol, an antiseptic – and aerobically. Most yeasts in the presence of both sugar and oxygen prefer to only convert these to carbon dioxide and water, which is considerably more efficient but doesn't deter competitors for that sweet, sweet sugar.

RIP space guars, we hardly knew ye.

Thanks for playing along with our April Fool's Day prank. We are, in fact, not pivoting to the Starfield engine.

We are, however, back on the very latest version of the Skyrim engine, thanks to some gruelling work by our Coding team, and of the Creation Kit, thanks in part to the CKPE team 💌

Now back to your regularly scheduled project updates. There's also more of the Concept-to-Asset video series on the horizon, and a bigger progress video is being worked on as we speak. Onwards and upwards! 🚀

After years of pouring love and dedication to recreating Morrowind in Skyrim's engine, we're reaching for the moon: say hello to Skywind!

After years of pouring love and dedication to recreating Morrowind in Skyrim's engine, we're reaching for the moon: we're shifting to Starfield's engine.

Say hello to Starwind! 🚀

  • Why walk when you can fly? Rocket boosted guars!
  • That's no moon(s)! Assemble your own interstellar silt strider.
  • The space race, now with 100% more cliff racers

Tamriel's vibrant and variant landscapes have been our home for years, a realm where our passion could roam as free as the nix hounds of Vvardenfell. ⁤⁤But as we looked up at the stars above, we saw the potential for magic far beyond what Skyrim's engine could offer. ⁤⁤Starfield's cutting-edge tech and vast cosmic canvas present us with the opportunity to reimagine Morrowind like never before.

We're grateful for your support, and we look forward to continuing on this journey with you, to the cosmos and beyond.

The Starwind Team ✨
