Release date: 2020.
Awesome work as always, though.
All looks good, the fights, the models, the landscapes, even the weapons and armors, but I find is a huge world... and an empty world. Too bad cannot add more elements like people walking, something like assasins creed or critters, birds, other elements, or WATER, I´d like to see ships.
Release the game and leave the modders finish the game, anyway is literally a sandbox. ;)
Fear not, just because we have only seen the engine/assets/tools each release,doesn't mean that we have seen everything they have been doing. I'm pretty sure there is an actual game in the works made with all that stuff for us to look forward too.
the game is released and the modders can technically finish it.
The more I see about this game, the more it makes me want to pre-order it... especially since I've been following since the first day it came on ModDB!
I've always kept an eye on it and following the development from the shadows.
But now I see so much has improved that I'm considering the pre-order!
Just for the modding toolkit / level editor this is worth pre ordering.
dat ending...
