Nexus profile

Dawnspire currently anchors the Iron Soul Skyrim project: a permadeath roguelite system built around meaningful death, Dragon Soul Revive, character identity, Anima progression, Sunderhearts, tiered UI/audio presentation, and optional Respawn integration.

Current Dossier

The local repo includes the SKSE plugin workspace, Nexus description material, UI assets, splash art, Sunderheart art, tier widgets, persistence notes, xEdit workflow docs, and a backup workflow. The public page should show both the player-facing fantasy and the engineering work behind durable per-character progression.

Portfolio Angle

  • Native SKSE persistence with character GUID identity, MainData, mirror backup, and recovery snapshots.
  • Anima and Soul Tier progression across character and world state.
  • Death lifecycle design: Dragon Soul Revive, optional Luck/Respawn integration, and fail-closed death behavior.
  • Presentation work through tiered death/permadeath screens, Sunderheart assets, splash art, and configurable UI/audio.

Next Content To Add

  • Add a release status and public Iron Soul page when ready.
  • Add a persistence diagram for MainData, MirrorData, co-save authority, and per-character journals.
  • Add screenshots of tier widgets, death screens, and Sunderheart interactions.
  • Add verification notes for SKSE builds and release packaging.
