Oh wow, that wip picture looks amazing. Hope you don't mind I quoted it here, no intention of taking away views from the blog, but I like to be able to show what I'm talking about That BL fellow looks really realistic. Massive amount of details (and the cheek looks bumpmapped?)

Quote away! Of course it has normal mapping... even the Warband map does. The main improvements of the face are in texture quality, shaders, art quality, polygon count, lighting and general engine niceness.

That nose. :3

It is... quite a nose.

Yeah, the difference is incredible.

Will these be weekly features or will they be more infrequent?

Probably not weekly but certainly regular.

Lusty has some talent for writing , good job Mr Lusty 

<3 you too

Holy ****, a new board. You just broke the divine world order!

Cool pics, though. And amazing writing, of course.

About time, you lazy Turks.

 

[Rydmer]

So. Can we have a year to put on this game?

But allover the pictures we have had up until now are great. It already looks like it is 10 times better from a graphics point of view. Look forward to a look at your coding group(s). That one should answer our questions about game mechanics.

But as the first replier said, are you the Doctor or a time traveler?

The blog was written in 1970 by an old blind pilgrim wearing fox pelts, shaved onto the back of a dog. I just dug up the dog and typed it up, stealing the credit.

 

[Slawtering]

Seems legit

 

[The Bowman]

If anything needs improvement in that picture, it's the tree on the background.

Nice work.

Fat Harlaus, yo.

Does the poster of the falconer in the background of the first pic have any significance to the game or is it just an art piece?

That makes sense.

It's most likely some kind of khergit.
His hat/cap looks very nomadic.

Fat Harlaus, yo.

he's like one of the most martial people around, always cleaving some peasant or pheasant or another.

 

[Leifr Eiríksson]

Nice.
