Sure, the biggest difficulty is to reverse the Oblivion's code to understand where you can change it in an efficient way getting the best effects. During these years, the techniques have been implemented, but anyway the DirectX 9 was pretty good and the Gamebryo's engine is good too. I'm sort of curious, what's the biggest challenge for you with making mods to improve the visuals of a game that's now nearly a decade old?Īlenet: Eheh! Working on old code is not a problem if you have the source code!! One of the main problems, is the limitations to overcome with old techniques. So, when I have free time, I spend time with my family, some sports but also I mod to free the mind and to have relax because it is very funny.ĭEG: Moving on to some more specific modding questions, you've made a lot of graphic mods for Oblivion, like Oblivion Reloaded, Improved Water, and Enhanced Grass.

I have a company where I am the boss and one of the main developer but mainly I am the logic code designer. I didn't start with a specific idea.ĭEG: What draws you to modding video games?Īlenet: I have always had the passion for video games from the early age and I like developing and computer in general. Simply I was curious to use the Construction Set to modify some parts of the game. I started to mod Oblivion for the first time creating some mods for my use. You can find it also on my Facebook's profile.ĭEG: What was your first mod and how did you get the idea for it?Īlenet: Really I don't remember my first mod.

It was at the end of year 2011 (two thousand eleven).Īlenet: Nothing special, Alessio is my name and network is the entire structure, so I created Alenet as short name to use on internet. I thought it was a good idea to start to play Oblivion before Skyrim and I began from Oblivion. So, I found an offer with Oblivion plus Skyrim at a good price, and I bought both. I like much RPG games in general and I knew the Elder Scrolls series but i didn't buy it until Skyrim was out. Thanks for agreeing to do this interview, and going right into our first set of intro questions, when did you first start playing Oblivion and the Elder Scrolls in general?Īlenet: I went to a shop to look for Skyrim, because I saw the advertisement on the tv. DEG: Greetings and welcome to the third episode of Oblivion Modding Interviews, with me today is Alenet, author of the popular Oblivion Reloaded, along with a number of other graphics mods like Enhanced Grass and Improved Water.
