Systems for party management and the way quests and objectives work when melded in a sandbox setting can be daunting, but it’s evident by the success, particularly of the game’s 2010 follow-up, Warband, that the community has embraced them all.Ībove: Mount & Blade: Warband, released in 2010 proved to be hugely successful for Taleworlds He accepts that the core game is more complex than many today, but that’s a position the team has embraced. I thought it was possible to make a game that was based on actual mechanics and drawing inspiration from the medieval period,” says Yavuz. “In 2003 or 2004, the only medieval games were more fantasy games-dragons and magic. That means you can ride a horse and shoot arrows, engage in a deep melee combat system, trade, or just foster relationships. “The core concept was to allow players to really feel like they existed in that world and can do anything a medieval adventurer or warlord would be able to do,” says Yavuz. After we saw that we’d get the support, we knew we could get a team and develop the game to completion.” “It amazingly worked out.” says Yavuz, “We had a great response from players and developed a great community. “It started out as a garage project,” says Yavuz of those early days, “I was trying to put together something to get the attention of publishers…it didn’t work out and I didn’t get their attention, but I thought I had a good game and decided to go to the players directly.” These were the days before Kickstarter and Early Access, but with enough confidence in the game, Yavuz approached the community and a snowball started to roll.
