Sneak Peeks [Lots of images]

By this you mean that now you have your deadline to get a new pc, right ?

 

Not yet

[Thomek]

btw, are those PBR textured models ?

Everything we make, since late summer should be PBR. Also, zimke does textures, not so much models. Though textures also has a kind of shape to them in the form of normal maps, which can come from high poly models, other 2d tricks and/or both. Usually both.

Never asked that question. are you going to have any norse/viking stuff?

I know they were on a decline in 13th century but they were still there. Also they share quite a bit of similarities with northern Rus states.

There's a few things on the drawing board, weapons & armor pieces that still persisted throughout the 13th.

Are there plans to make heraldic versions of all of these items? Maybe with more pattern options than in c-rpg, so players can choose which elements of their arms are displayed and to some extent how.

eg. I'm blazoning a red donkey on a black and white background, my surcoat could be just black or just white or both of them as on the shield or as above but tiled, then I could have a big donkey or lots of little donkeys or no donkeys. Looking at knights arrayed in heraldic armour, they had quite a bit of artistic freedom, so it would be nice to see that in the game.

I think this is a really good idea. Being able to customize your armor within the constraints of ~your heraldry~ or ~your king's banner~ would let people be unique while still pretty historically accurate. People love to customize the shit out of their little fighty sword man. Being limited by your heraldic icons/colors would also prevent people from making rainbow/porn/unrealistic banners like what has happened with crpg clan banners.

Obviously you want to have most of the armor done before you start making a heraldry system to slap onto the armor, but it would be awesome to see something like this show up in the finished game.

We have something around those parts in mind. It'll all be very simple and basic to begin with (if even implemented at Alpha, might just be some super basic thing), but otherwise that's about what we're thinking of, plus possibly having dyes for armor pieces, the latter is still on the drawing table.

For the end result, customization is going to be a big big feature for the game

They call him... the mail man.

[Micah]

Looking sweet
I always loved the face mail helmets ... good job on not making them look like a penis head :x
Oh, and while we're at it ... Can we hope to see some cool female armors in not to far future too ? I mean, there where alot of real medival female warriors ... thats pretty much confirmed :3

That helmet is badass

[Algarn]

I actually can't wait for the oldmy old friends to meet again into MBG, put those armors on, and rebuild from ashes all the epicness of the massive cRPG battles at the time it had 200 players. I'm even ready to bet some armors will look like some current armors, and these players will recreate their old armor set

^so much this
