<p>It is that time of year again where we head off to Gamescom to showcase Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. 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

Open beta and early access are two different things and some here might know a bit more than others. But let us wait for what will be revealed at the gamescom ^^
Nobody here is a snowflake ?
As for open beta/early access everyone thinks they know the most, even if they do, revealing some things they shouldnt may harm the game longterm.
Who has ever been into a beta of any game knows what i mean.
So we await official news and gameplays...nice
Also I did see them ^^
There is no rule that they shouldn't tell about it, to take this point from you too. And how they harm the game in the longterm by just mentioning this is also something about which I wonder how it should happen ^^
But as said before, let us wait for what will be revealed at the gamescom.

Took me a good second to get back here to check up on this thread, but I digress:
More on this topic below:
Also there is some evidence here that they potentially do receive something despite their refusals; as you can see in that link a TaleWorlds executive is actually the head of the board of directors for the Game developers association of Turkey. 'TOGED' for short, is a group that helps Turkish game companies get proper support and funding from the government... I don't exactly recall too many gaming studios in Turkey, I wonder who they're talking about.
The leveling/skill system was also reportedly fully fleshed out and scrapped 3 different times, the effort and time put into castle-building/village management just to be redacted, a console port attempt for release they gave up on, certain multiplayer functionality invested in then dropped, DirectX9 being the primary API the game was made to use which is now no long even planned to be supported on release and so on and so forth.
On some level this happens with every game's production but it typically just never hits the public sphere, the fact that it has here and that the game's production took 10 years it is obvious that this is a very real problem for them and these are just the tip of the iceberg.
On the forums it is never corrected as far I have seen and the media also often cites 2012 as the beginning of development after interviews with developers, at some point you have to reckon it's what they're being told. Here are just some recent examples: 1: Bannerlord is choosing early access after eight years of development, 2: Taleworlds doesn’t plan for the game to spend another eight years unfinished.DanAngleland said:
I said 'potentially', and Turkey is a place where the leader is very much an individual that can simply delegate an incredulous amounts of money to pet projects if he deems it so and no one would dare question him even it was a bad decision for all involved. It is not impossible to conceive that he or some other government crony might do so for Turkey's most well known tech export in a country that heavily lags behind in anything tech related. Strongmen can't afford to appear weak.Bjorn The Hound said:Shaxx said:
Well, I think it is not a speculation that while Callum wrote these answers, he was angry at the idea of TW getting sufficent fund from Turkish government to get going for a decade game development.

You cut off the end of that quote of mine which stated: but they say they don't. Making a video game is incredibly expensive, the question is how indeed are they funding the game's development without having released a game under their own steam in a decade save for two glorified mods they out-sourced of a game they released said decade prior.CaptainLee said:

If you read the blogs and interviews with developers they themselves mention re-doing things over and over, just one recent example by Armagan at Gamescom: "We are now using third user interface, this one is become too beatiful. We first start it and later said "things aren't going (well)". Then we passed into a new system and also deadlocked there. If we don't see what we want eventhough how painful it is, it is truer to cut it and redo a proper one."Benjamin Bones said:

The only issue here is how many animations, sounds and other things appear to be copy-pasted from Warband, spear animations, running animations, enemy screams, etc, etc. It's just an updated version of their old engine, it has not been made from scratch, nothing to justify a 10 year development span.Moton said:
Looter said:
yes exactly. How can they say it's an updated version of Warband!?
Also it's only been in development for 8 years, not 10.
