Here's your Bannerlord thread bro, don't want you forgetting that's it's coming out THIS YEAR

Looks fantastic. I haven't looked at much of the work since it would make the wait so much worse

these threads are just bonerlord denial support groups at this point

youre not wrong but we need them anyway

Any VRrbos in here check out Tales of Glory?
It's still unforgivably jank but at least it exists unlike Bannerlord

Is there any strategy elements or just battles?

We had a really comfy Warband thread 10~ hours ago, since then i've discovered some new mods.

First of all, L'Aigle, i'm feeling super lazy so the tl;dr is...
>L'Aigle (The Eagle) is a singleplayer total-conversion mod for Mount & Blade: Warband set during the 1809 War of the Fifth Coalition fought between Napoleonic France and the Austrian Empire and their allies.

But holy shit, the mod is seriously approaching AAA levels of polish and artistry, the characters and environments are top notch, the best i've ever seen in a warband mod, but what really sets it apart is the sound production though, and god damn the musket sounds combined with the insanely detailed muzzleblasts and lingering smoke effects send shivers down my spine. The mod itself isn't finished, but it's already perfectly playable and thoroughly enjoyable. The maps have clearly been designed around rank and file combat and allow for some absolutely incredible engagements with a huge variety of tactics. If you're even a little interested in the setting, download that shit and keep an eye on it's development.

But the real gem I found is Calradia 1417, and this lads is what you're going to be playing until Bannerlord comes out.

Calling it Vanilla + is an understatement, Warband 1.8, Bannerlord 0.8, something to that effect would be far closer to the mark. It feels like the magnum opus of Warband modding, it's very much the "best of" mods in one extremely polished and cohesive package that goes well beyond mods like Dickplomacy etc All of the towns, villages and castles have been rebuilt from scratch with insanely high quality assets and superb attention to detail and really do look spectacular and they're seriously on par with what Bannerlord was looking like a few years ago. Huuuge list here.

It's an extremely new mod, so a few lil teething issues, but it's gonna keep me happy for a long time.

The Eagle has been out awhile. I want to say it was pretty much a joke for a long time. I haven't really played M&B for at least two years, so I'm no longer in the know. There was a mod that anons completely crapped all over and I want to say it was that one.

>Bannerlord is coming out this year
I'll throw away all my butter if this is true OP.

What mod do you think Calradia 1417 is?
1257 AD?
Do combinations of numbers and words often confuse you?

I'm sure there isn't much in late game, wage war until everyone's gone, Kingdoms economy, dealing with invasion. It's coming in This year!

Laigle siege map is so shitty though, but that was the first release. Don't know about it now.

THEY NEED TO EARLY ACCESS THIS SHIT ALREADY.

JESUS FUCK.

M&B IS THE SORT OF SHIT EARLY ACCESS WAS DESIGNED FOR.

I PLAYED THE ORIGINAL M&B THAT WAS NOTHING BUT A FEW MEN HITTING EACH OTHER WITH STICKS IN A TWO ROOM BUILDING FOR WEEKS.

THEN THE VERSION THAT WAS NOTHING BUT A FEW MORE MEN HITTING EACH OTHER WITH STICKS IN AN ARENA FOR MONTHS.

I NEED SOMETHING.

ANYTHING.

FUCK.
>Calradia 1417
Downloading now.

The year is 2029. Bannerlord's release day has been announced. Q4 2099

That's way too early to be believable.

L'aigle used to be called L'threeyears because it spent three (3) fucking years in development and what we got was an absolute unplayable turd. And this was like 2014? I think.

It's had a few updates since then, but development has def been slow and steady over the last three years from what i've seen.

I mean the original mount & blade was in beta test for years. I remember playing it when I was a kid.

They've always said they won't give an exact release date until 1.0 is done. They've said there will be a short early access, I'm not sure if that will count or not in terms of the "release" date.

Either way, expect Q4.

What a good benchmark. At 30 years of age, I have given up hope of living long eenough to play this game, but I do have some solace in knowing that my children may get to play it.

Warsword Conquest, and it's amazing.

Greenskins get a bad rap, everyone i've met so far has been really nice and very inclusive, they even let me take part in the little arena fight and I managed to win enough to hire a handsome fellow in the bar.

>porn games copying M&B combat
We've made it lads. I hope Bannerlord further revolutionizes the shitty porn game genre

>that UI

Doesn't really look like M&B combat.
But I am interested.

That's literally a UE4 marketplace package, animations and all.

unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/multiplayer-melee-combat-system

With that said, the M&B system is super solid, but it's really nothing special given games like Rune were doing it better 20 years ago and with dismemberment.

The patreon post says don't mind the UI since it isn't finished but it looks as shitty as the one currently in the game so I don't have high hopes.

I'm not surprised since the whole game is like that. I'm glad it's a UE4 package through. Maybe it will inspire a lot more good games to use it.

>I'm not surprised since the whole game is like that. I'm glad it's a UE4 package through. Maybe it will inspire a lot more good games to use it.
Yeah it's def a good thing that it's encouraging more people to play around with game dev, but the sheer number of game projects that start as nothing but pre-made packages off the UE4 store, shit out a few progress vids of the same fucking shit people have seen repackaged 50 times before and then die shortly after when the devs realise they have no idea what they're actually doing is pretty hilarious.

No, but I'm addicted to the point where I can't even get hard without porn. I can't even get out of bed most mornings without first pulling up some porn on my phone and having an incredibly shitty wank that makes me feel like shit for the rest of the day. I've started to associate the positions I fap in with porn and can't sit or lie down without thinking about or looking up porn. It's gotten out of hand (kek) and since I've actually started dating I'm trying to cool it and be attracted to regular girls again. Not everyone who does that shit is a retard who thinks they'll get superpowers. I just want to have a normal sex life.

But vampire girls are sexy as fuck so I'm probably going to rub one out and then hate myself until I install netnanny or some shit

So was warband. So we'll update from a 2005 video game to a 2020 video game come 2025.

>censor
Can you tell us why, at least?

really? That asset looks KCD tier. Really fucking good. I'm glad they don't fell to pauldron memes or cater to skyrim crowd/other generic fantasy RPG.
Do you also have the access to play the game too?. Sorry, if that is sensitive matter.

Jesus Christ this looks too good, how am I supposed to play this with my Laptop

Don't worry, you have 8 years to save up for a real computer.

Just airing on the side of caution as i'm simply not sure if the designs are final/have been revealed, better safe than sorry.

The models are between 12-15k poly's (and what you're seeing is the current in game highest LOD model), so they're actually pretty low by modern standards, lower than KCD, but i'd say we're actually working from far better high poly models to begin with so the results have been great so far. So we're currently lower than what most "hero" characters in last gen console games had and way fucking lower than shit like Nathan Drake in Uncharted 3 who had like 80k poly's.

Optimization, optimization and more optimization. Whilst most games use 3-4 lods per object, Bannerlord has 15-20 for most things. It's a lot of work.

If you aren't going to make up some reason to need to visit turkroach HQ and steal us a copy of the game you can fuck right off but also thanks

>12-15k
That's great, games these days don't need high poly count anyway. I'm glad to see that I don't really need to upgrade my GPU to play Bannerlord.
I'm wondering, why do most games have high vertices count (above 80k)? Most pre 2010 game models have 5k-10k vertices (IIRC) and they still look good to this day (with proper art style though)

Sauce?

>12K vertices
You can play this on your old ass Thinkpad. (with GPU obv)

I'm going to pirate this to punish TaleWorlds for taking so long to release it.

>never getting any news

dunno, to me it's just a reaction pic

well, yea, but I guess I meant to specify that I meant "any news about launch"

I'd have to kill the other ginger and assume his identity, pretty sure we'd all look the same to them.

>That's great, games these days don't need high poly count anyway.
Marvelous designer, awesome high poly sculpts, really good re-topologized low poly models combined with substance PBR materials go a long way, even with props and buildings you'd be amazed at how low poly a lot of stuff is and can be when you get really nice, clean normal map bakes etc

Good quality optimized game art is almost a lost art unfortunately with everyone starting to outsource shit to china and india.

The handfull of quality posters will be gone for some weeks. You will probably not even notice it.

>build up hype
the fucking hype has been built since 2013. Now it's just standing there. Unused.

So IF the game is released, do you plan to make mods or expansion pack for taleworlds? How do you get into 3D modelling in the first place? I have programming skill, I can draw, but I'm totally lost when it comes to create a simple shape in Blender.

Nah, hype deflates. If they really were moments from release which even alleged leak user isn't saying it would make sense for them to remind people, "Hey, Bannerlord exists".

It's more likely that the release will spawn a bunch of threads on Yea Forums that lead to haters calling everyone who likes it shills and finding some ridiculous out of context line from the game and say that it supports cuckoldry or feminism or maybe they'll latch onto screenshots of nonwhite characters either way Bannerlord will be SJW shit and every thread on Yea Forums and the general will be shitposted in for weeks.

Is the game nearly finished? In percentage please. Please don't say it's under 50%

>So IF the game is released, do you plan to make mods or expansion pack for taleworlds?
I have been very seriously considering taking 3-6 months off and working full time on assets in preparation of a Gekokujo 2 mod, I could realistically do the characters myself and a good chunk of the environmental stuff in that time and then just be able to hand it off to the community to go nuts with, whether or not i'll be able to afford to is an entirely different manner. The industry is pretty shit at the moment, doubly so for freelancers, quadruply so for Ausfags, and i'm scraping by on being able to find maybe 6 months of full time work a year, and I can tell you right now that working for Turks whilst living in Australia is not a profitable transaction, but some shit is worth living on beans for.
>How do you get into 3D modelling in the first place?
Always played around with CAD programs as a kid, drew a bunch, sculpted a bunch, LEGO a bunch, did a Bachelors of Mechanical Engineering, graduated, did it for a year, ended up working on CG animated commercials, then tv, then movies, now I live like a hobo doing freelance game stuff earning less than minimum wage.
>I have programming skill, I can draw, but I'm totally lost when it comes to create a simple shape in Blender.
It's just learning the tools, reading/watching tutorials, making something shit, asking yourself why it's shit, figuring out how to make it not shit, then making it again, but less shit this time. Do that 12 hours a day for 5 years and you'll start to find you're less shit than when you started.

Gameplay/Mechanics, 80%, probably more, content wise 90%+ but that last 10% is always the hardest and always takes way longer than you'd expect.

I mean let's be honest. There will be a ton of bugs and shitposters will pretend bannerlord is the next Mass Effect Andromeda.

But who except turbo autists even waits for Bannerlord? And of these turbo autists how many could ever forget that Bannerlord is in Development Purgatory?
