Why has it been in development for so long and so little was done?

[vadimuha]

I mean they took a very long time with this game and it was released quite unpolished. Is something wrong with their time management?

 

[JimmyCakes]

I'd say so, they also appear to have many interns cycling through the company that will slow things up

 

[vadimuha]

I would really appreciate if they gave a formal explanation to this

 

[stevepine]

It's out. It's just fine. I've seen MUCH, MUCH worse from a great many games in early access. Stop moaning.

 

[lukkyb]

you do know the 8years is assuemd time they only annouced it in 2012 dosent mean they started then

 

[Occyfel]

waa

 

[bestguy]

It will take longer because early access is not technically release.

 

[vadimuha]

They started from at least 2016 when first gameplay was released

TW表示已经重做了很多事情，并制造了新引擎，我预计这将花费很多时间

 

[Yaoxuewen]

这个40克游戏中有很多新玩意，例如步枪！TW正在修复错误

 

[RitoDurito]

I know this is bait, but all I have to say on this is that they don't owe you an explination.

It seems that they scrapped all their work several times. For instance the map changed significantly between 2019 and EA. They said that they started from scratch with the UI and if you look back at the game in 2016 the graphical style is very different.

What do you want to explain to someone who is too lazy or stupid to even read the early access description?

 

[SmattlePattle]

Ah yes, the peanut galley here on TW forum can explain their inner company operations and work-flow management to you.

I agree it took way too long and the connection between Turkish government funding the progress and the slow place of development is concerning.

However they do not need to offer an explanation to anyone save their investors and owners. Entitlement is a horrible affliction that many have on these forums. It truly saddens me to see.

 

[Shemaforash]

They definitely started developing Bannerlord back in 2012-2013.

I'd say entitlement is a terrible affliction on society at large. But that's a different topic for a different day.

The original Bannerlord when it was announced back in 2012 was being developed on the same engine as Warband. They weren't satisfied and built a new engine from scratch. That takes time.

I'm sorry but this is just stupid. Most businesses out there receive some form of Government grants unless they're a corner grocery store (and even those do too). The whole "funded by the Turkish government" thing is a complete non-talking point that just entices people to bring whatever pet political/economic beliefs they have into a discussion of game development. Ugh.

This debate has taken place many times already. Its mostly the new people who complain, because they don't grasp how complex this game really is.
