Verticality was in the lead for the past couple of modjams but still has not won the final vote. This time round maybe!

I've fallen completely in love with the world and story, and am doing a second playthrough with even more mods - many of which were made during past Modathons.

Big thanks to the modding community for contributing to my great game experience. I understand now why Morrowind is so loved - it IS a wonderful game on its own, and is even better with mods. Can't wait to see what you create.

I miss Vvardenfell, and I just broke my aged loyal video card for newer games :laugh:. I had to quit back in 2012 I guess? Because I accidentally lost my main save(since 2003) and I'm kinda an one-char-one-playthrough-per-world RPG player.

Yeah Morrowind deserves so much love. Thanks all.

Do it! You´ll enjoy it so much!

A few questions: 
-What is "verticality"? Why are people excited about it? 
-What are the rules? Can you make mods as a team (e.g. single submission, multiple people)? 
-What is a good amount of content to aim for given the 48 hour limit? 

Seriously considering submitting :D as it could be the excuse I need to learn Morrowind modding (it's on my bucket list).

I don't know about the rest, but in Morrowind levitation is not forbidden, and some vanilla locations took that into account in very fun ways, but not enough of them.  I imagine 'verticality' is designing locations with levitation in mind.  Things you can't find otherwise, odd angles of fire you can get on enemies by levitating, cool sites you can best access that way, buildings with upper floors you need levitation to access.  It means thinking in a full three dimensions when designing locations.

No team submissions for this event. The more people participating, the better though!

Verticality is something DarkElfGuy first said when describing a mod that added heights to the game (even the Red Mountain is a little underwhelming when it comes to heights).

Solo entries for this event, other competitions such as the Morrowind Modding Madness is for teams and lasts a whole month.

The amount of content is very relative. It's usually a single quest and/or a single dungeon. Best to keep a small scope, then add to it if time, then plan to overhaul the game and eventually give up :)

There are a bunch of tutorials, DarkElfGuy's and my own.

darkelfguy wrote: We have several actually, the seasonal Modjams are some of the smaller ones, but the biggest is the annual Morrowind May Modathon Month Modding Competition, hosted here on the Nexus every year in May. That one has been running since 2015 and draws hundreds of mod submissions each year.

Our community has been growing steadily for years now, surpassing both Oblivion and Fallout 3 in terms of active modders and number of new mod releases in the past three years, and with Morrowind's 20th anniversary on the horizon, we'll doubtless be organizing even more modding competitions throughout the year.

Here's an article about Morrowind Modding events?.
Last year, we also had the first Starwind Modding Competition: we basically never stop modding :D
