You will notice that the forum is changing a bit in expectation of the release of Prophesy of Pendor 2.0 module.

Old sticky topics are being taken off the top of the board as they are no longer relevant.

New topics are being added in anticipation of the release of our work.

Best regards,

Saxondragon

Hello everyone!

I will be posting up a patch to Version 2.01 late this weekend. 

Very little new functionality, but primarily designed to address those  issues that were missed in our playtesting phase. 

I wanted to wait to get as many errors, issues, spelling mistakes, confusing dialogues etc into this as possible and I must say, Thank YOU for being willing to post these problems and work with me to make this offering the best it can be.  This has really been a collaborative effort on all of our parts.

The primary issues being addressed can be found in this thread:
http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,66774.0.html

If you are experiencing a bug, problem or are confused.. please post them under the Issues Reporting thread and lets see if we can knock this out of the park with this next patch.

Best regards,

Saxondragon

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to give everyone a quick status update.

First.. I wanted to thank all of you who have stepped up to answer questions, and help out other players when we could not get to them in a timely manner.  :bow:  It is this sort of mutual support that makes this effort so worthwhile.

Currently, we have selected our go-forward team which augments those folks who still desire to contribute from the Pop 2.0 Team.  There are some very talented individuals and I am very impressed with their desire to push this concept into new areas.  The synergy is there which is fantastic.

We have lost some folks in the process, and that is both expected and normal.  Real life has a way of infringing upon our hobbies and what we would "like" to do and replace it with what we "Must" do.  I am sure all of us are keenly aware of this.

As the development team knows, and  I am now informing you good folks,  I will am forced to take a short hiatus from the TW forums  I have recently accepted a position teaching computer science and game design at a college and will be moving half way across the US to take up this new challenge.  This move will cause me to be not connected to this community and project for about 7 to 10 days.  I will slowly disengage as the move time approaches.. Once things are set up and I gain control of this new position, I will slowing re-engage and then we will move full steam ahead. 

This is just a heads up so when you do not see me posting for a fairly long period of time you will know why and you will not feel the need to panic.  In the mean time, the development team has a very full plate of tasks, and goals and they will both be posting here and working on the next release.

Time frame for the actual move will begin around August 15th and will go through the end of the month and into the first weeks of September.  I expect that I will be posting in the first week of September once again, but not to the degree which I have in the past.  Then slowly I will become more and more engaged as my free time permits.

Best regards,

Saxondragon

Hail and well met,

This has been a long two weeks, very eventful and now I am partially back.  I am securing internet access next week and will be more active from that point onwards.

Best,

Saxondragon

I have extremely limited internet access via work.. and will have full access this weekend.

My apologies for being tardy here, circumstances beyond my control.

Best regards,

Saxondragon

I wish to thank FritZ_FretZ for his exclusive work on the code and design implemenations for this release.  Very well done!
