Prophesy of Pendor Dev Update Board
Until next time,
MitchyMatt
As we have all heard by now, Prophesy of Pendor 4 has been put away due to lack of time, the thorough continuous commitment of participants, and many variables. However, that does not mean Prophesy of Pendor is dead. Instead, we last updated the game to 3.6xx and gave everyone the great features of CKO.
That was IIRC, over a year ago? Maybe slightly longer or almost too. I'm creating this board so people can see what the devs are up too and we can easily and full-heartedly allow news to be reached to you in the most easy fashion possible. This is not to be mistaken for a suggestion thread that is clearly stickied, so don't put suggestions here. Only provide an opinion on work examples we provide for yous.
This thread will provide example and notes of what is being worked on currently and we will provide the community with work we have and you can give your opinion on it. This is work we considered as a development team and moreover, we are looking for ways to improve upon things the game has.
Do not ask about Bannerlord. That is in the future a ways away. We will not hesitate to glove-slap you upon asking. We currently have no ideas/opinions even related to this.
Do not ask for release dates. We are all humans and we have lives outside the internet. We have commitments and duties before PoP, and those always come first, for most of us. We like to take our time and provide out the polished aspects of a game that is enjoyable, but lives up to the standard that Prophesy of Pendor is.

Hello,
As many of you know there hasn't been much said on what is currently being done by the devs for Prophesy of Pendor. I would like to announce a long-awaited update that tackles the refurbishment of Prophesy of Pendor's assets.
Previously, I began over a year ago where the patch 3.6 was being developed, I began searching around for replacements and artists who would help remaster PoP's assets. However, due to lack of time, and RL going on, I fell short of getting it even remotely done and the 3.6 update went without any aesthetics's being done.
Now that it has been a year later I would like to begin showcasing what we have been doing so far and to keep you guys encouraged and excited for a return of Prophesy of Pendor graphically more than gameplay-wise.
Our current focus, especially for me, has been to get rid of the Legionnaire armor. It's lifespan from MB has been long enough and it's time that it get's a new fresh revival and so I present a WIP representation of what to expect for the Empire's Legionnaires to be fielding in the heat of battle:
The Empire isn't exactly Roman to say, so we can't always expect them to be wearing bronze or armors that make them look fakely chizzled. However they are a heavy infantry unit and fielding heavy armor, but light-looking helps fit in perfectly with a touch of Roman features. This is what we are exactly looking for and most of us agreed that this is a good start. We are dealing with the artist right now to finish up the right colors and what not as it looks currently too much like Barclay and not Empire.
Remember this is a WIP and if you have any opinions on the armor or suggestions about it please share with us.

Hello,
I would like to again thank you for your patience for waiting on more news/updates from the development team. As many of you know, I'm working with the other devs and we are evaluating assets in a manner of them being included in the mod.
To continue this update, I would like to mention that not just the special items of the game are receiving attention. We are also looking at the equipment used by common troops too.
For example we have the Mettenheim. A proud minor faction. Their platemail looks fine and great, but that sallet though...ewwwww.
So considering there's many OSP's providing common medieval helmets, these were nice pieces of cake to take from the buffet. You can certainly expect the sallets to look much better and affect the Singilians, Mettenheim, and various Rouge Knight units.
These were one of the earlier changes we found and I thought it be good to fill you guys in with it. So enjoy this while I take the time to find some more juicy content for update 3 in the upcoming future.
Take a gander:

Take a gander:
From the Founding of Pendor – the year is 198
The downfall of the Kingdom was as swift as it was and vile. A single month, thirty
days, and the empire was in tatters. The irony was it was not by the sword in battle,
nor by some dark magic that caused the deaths of the King and his family. But by an
unseen killer, a disease, the red plague that ravaged the land and cut down the peoples
of the Kingdom, great and small, like an assassin in the night.
The royal family had perished, and there was no King to rule the land. Then came the
invasions that seemed to shatter the once proud kingdom into slivers and the glory that
was once the Kingdom of Pendor, was now itself the stuff of legend.
With the death of the King and his heirs, there was chaos. Multiple lords laid claim to
the throne and nearly every noble of the land began squabbling over succession...
(Sounds of footsteps carry forthwith in the long damp corridor)
"How long has it been, sir, since people were down here?"
"Decades for certain. This charter said we're the only ones to been given permission to access this far down."
"The torch is hardly kindling, the air down here is thin. But sir, why would the King have us come down here? Is there a purpose? You never did fill me in."
"He said there was a rare artifact down here. That it would rightly encourage others to support his claim and reign as King."
"Pff..rare artifact...we're most likely to find bones of old down here, or the occasional rat brood."
(The two men reach a small indent in the corridor, the torch makes it visible)
"Sir, what does it say? Can you read it? My eyes aren't as keen in the dark as they were in my youth."
"It's feint, but I can make it out.."
Lie here, the last lineage of Pendor's royal family. The red came and brought with it, darkness and dismay. The darkness dwells still.; the red, it's flame.
"Just an old curse, meant to scare away robbers and such of the day. We still have a purse of gold waiting for us, we must retireve this thing for the king."
"What did he say this object looks like?"
"He said we'll know when we see it, whatever the bloody hell that means."
(They enter the indent but immediatly the torch's last flame perishes, the air it lived on cut off)
"By the gods, find a light idiot! I can't see a damned thing down here, let alone your ugly face."
(The man used his tinderbox to relight the torch.)
"Bout time. Let's find th..."
(He turns back to the front and come forth from the dark this image..)
The darkness dwells still.; the red, it's flame.

Hello everyone,
As you can see, it has been a few solid months of a nice update on what is going on. I've haven't ignored the mod if that was what you were thinking but tried to collect resources here and there and talking to people worldwide can be time consuming. Not to mention dealing with real life scenarios you all are aware of. This update doesn't specifically show anything other than the v1 list of items that are most likely going to be redone for 3.7. This is a very long list and I tried to organize it with Excel to keep track of all the things we need to make it nice and smooth.
Currently there around 160 plus things, if Excel counts correctly. That's quite a lot, but rest assured I have made progress on the list, but it doesn't yet reflect that currently. I plan on finding a way to nicely update this elsewhere so that I don't have to deal with all this text when modifying this spoiler.
If you think you can help out with this list by being delightful searchers and recommenders, by all means please contact me PM.
Best,
MM

Hello,
These are images for the Shadow Legion for 3.7: http://imgur.com/a/XMwaw#0
I decided they needed some work to not only retain their original look, but to also have a memorable look. Here I would like to show the non-finalized version of them. If I find that most of their items are good to go, then they will be finished. This armor will replace their old one.
Sorry for lack of posts on here. But they're not gonna stop!! Please feel free to share your thoughts!

Edit: For those who can't view Imgur:
Orator Baccus Sword:
New whole mesh and textures to fully replace the Orator Baccus Sword that is wielded by Marius Imperator. 100% Credit goes to k0nr@d.
Orator Baccus Sword Sheath:
A new sheath to compliment this powerful weapon. 100% Credit goes to k0nr@d.
Orator Baccus Sword Hilt/Crossguard Closeup:
Amazing detail gone into making this sword immensely special. 100% Credit goes to k0nr@d.
Dragon's Tooth Sword:
New whole mesh and textures to fully replace the Dragon's Tooth sword that is wielded by King Gregory IV. The white-tinted steel helps keep the "tooth" name and to represent the snowy north that is Ravenstern. The scale inlay and the insertion of the Dragon's actually tooth makes this sword even more amazing. A scabbard will follow in due time. 100% Credit goes to k0nr@d.
Dragon's Tooth Hilt/Crossguard Closeup:
The dragon symbolism is heavily implied in this amazing and stunning remake of this legendary sword. From the scales to the blue sapphire of Ravenstern, this sword can take anyone's breath away (literally). 100% Credit goes to k0nr@d.
Dragon's Tooth Side View:
You can see the Dragon's tooth from fabled legends inserted into the creation of this sword. Is it a real tooth? That is lost to time, but the sword is true to it's very own name. 100% Credit goes to k0nr@d.
