However, this year, things are a little different... For the first time ever we will be presenting the game in both the business and public areas of the event. This means that anyone with a ticket can come along to one (or both!) of our booths to play the game for themselves. This is a completely new experience for us and we are sure there will be many unforeseen challenges that crop up, but, so far, our preparations have been going well and we are really excited to be able to show the game in (somewhat) its entirety!</p></br> [/parsehtml]Read more at: http://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/122

archaicwarrior you're totally right !

 

[hiclipucli]

sorry my mistake, this vid from 2018 (((

 

[Insider]

Hi Guys ! i dont know if anybody post these video, so i put here what found.
This is -from my opinion - the gamescom present campaign video .  that hopefully can play in a public area :

It is a ripoff from another video from last Gamescom, this year the starting characters in the SP demo will be starting in the mid-game, not in the early-game

 

[hiclipucli]

ohh, yes sure, i see the characters gears in early game . then the guy lie ...  sorry

 

[RoboSenshi]

Wait, Terco was in the beta?

Yes, sir.

And he may be playing the hell out of the game while we type.

How do you guys know? I thought he wasn't allowed to say anything

In the 20 minutes gameplay video someone named Terco writes in chat. And apart from "why him and not me" comments , the community took it well.

I had no idea.

The names were supposed to be kept quiet, too. Good riddance to that idea.

 

[Kortze26]

Hopefully, Thursday we'll all get our chance to play as they announce the open beta and Terco won't feel so lonely playing beta on his own anymore

 

[SIGUR.]

....open beta???????.....who, when, where ????

Is it possible that
2010-2015 : Making the game engine
2015-20?? : Making Bannerlord
?

Yes that's very possible. People dont understand how hard and timeconsuming it is to make a new engine for a game.

 

[Kentucky 『 ＨＥＩＧＵＩ 』 James]

The "engine" often gets developed alongside the rest of the game, hence why they still have a dedicated engine guy long after the engine was "finished" in around 2013. Also there isn't a clear cut difference between an "engine" and the rest of the game, it's just shorthand for the code base developers use to make developer's lives easier, so basically a library of common processes like physics simulations and pathfinding and other high level stuff that needs to be as optimised as possible.
You could theoretically make a game without an engine but in a team project something like an "engine" tends to get created organically as artists request more rendering tools be added for them to work with. If you look at the first few blogs, especially the 2nd one, they explain something like this.

So who else is in it?

 

[Piconi]

Lol i just checked couple of last years Gamescom videos, and found a funny bug in this one:

Spoiler

https://youtu.be/-jXcymz1ems

At 16:36 man hit by multiple arrows and killed flies 10 meters in the air in the direction of archers that shot him.

I hopetm that kind of stuff dont happen anymore.

 

[vicwiz007]

Are you kidding me? That's exactly the kind of thing I hopetm is in the game!

The truth is Armagan could have taken the Warband profits, sold his rights to Bannerlord and retired a happy man long ago.. but he didn’t. Instead he decided to take on the daunting task of growing a company from scratch and develop Bannerlord. I don’t know too many people that would dedicate their entire life and accumulated wealth into their dream project like he has. Anyone really questioning if Bannerlord will be released hasn’t considered that Armagan likely wants to retire a wealthy man

Edit: Almost cried out of joy until i saw the date was 7 months from now, and it is ONLY of early access...

EA Announcement

Edit: Almost cried out of joy until i saw the date was 7 months from now, and it is ONLY of early access...

Just got back from work and checked Youtube if there's something new... this is great news. No one can predict the future but there's a chance it will be in early access for just a year.

EDIT: At least we have some date now.

 

[iamastrangeloop]

Early access RELEASE DATE????!! For Single Player too?! FInally!!!! 7 months of waiting is a HELL of a lot better than an unknown potentially infinite amount of time. Great news! Also my friends will all be overjoyed at not hearing me complain about waiting for this for another 6 years! From the new trailer it all looks to be worth the wait. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS................................!!!
