If we missed anything- let us know!

This is the trailer that we were going around and showing off to all the bigwigs at this year’s GDC.

GDC- The Game Developers Conference that runs every year in beautiful San Francisco and brings together the industries elite players for important business deals and networking as well as keynote speeches and roundtables.

 It was our team’s first GDC, and it was wild. Possibly the most frantic and fun week we’ve had to date as a team, we all ended up sick and exhausted at the end of it but we consider the event to have been a smashing success. 

From the moment we first arrived at the conference on Wednesday, we didn’t go 10 minutes without getting called, texted or emailed about a meeting so we were literally sprinting across the convention center from building to building trying to meet up with everyone and I have the blisters on my feet to prove it! I’ll briefly list some of the cool things that happened in the intense whirlwind that was our 2012 GDC trip:

- We bumped into Minh Le – the creator of Counter Strike. He actually noticed our shirts and recognized us as the guys working on Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and seemed to be geninuely looking forward to it which was awesome to see. Minh was there promoting his new game, tactical intervention which has some crazy stuff like grabbing hostages and shooting at people from cars, check out more on that project over here: http://ti.ogplanet.com/en/main.og

- We met with the very animated Joe Kreiner from Epic Games who had a lot of useful advice for us on marketing and some unreal-specific stuff. (By the way- Epic Games is awesome to indie devs and if you aren’t using the udk, you should be. Grab it here: www.UDK.com)

- We had a meeting with Nvidia, that graphics card company you might have heard about. Just think- Chivalry in 3D where the swords actually come at your face and give you a true sense of depth in the combat. We’re looking into some ways to make that happen as cool as possible.

- We had dinner with Evan Lahti- Senior Editor of PC Gamer at a very nice (read as: expensive) steakhouse courtesy of Tripwire Interactive (makers of Killing Floor, Red Orchestra etc.) Couldn’t thank these guys enough for the dinner and other efforts they made to help make our trip a success. Evan actually ran a story about us on PC Gamer just after GDC and we are in contact with him about future coverage as well.  

- We met up with Valve about some kind of PC Distribution service thing they have, apparently the kids these days are calling it Steam. No details on this one for you yet though.

- We also managed to get a last minute meeting with Kirk Hamilton from Kotaku who sat down to talk with us about our game- turns out we made an impression on him and he wrote us up in an article that hit their main page.

All in all it was a crazy awesome time and we are just now recovering from all that has happened. As you know there is no rest for indie game devs though as in a few short weeks we will be hitting up PAX East, this time with a playable build! If you are in the Boston area and have a thing for swords, decapitations or trying out new games then make sure you stop by and check us out at booth 485!
 
Here is a picture of our team at our first GDC:

The article also features a brief description of the primary game mode “Team Objective”. Check it out here:

We met up at this year’s GDC with Kirk Hamilton from Kotaku to tell him about the game and it looks like we got him well excited- excited enough to get an article about the game on their main page! Check it out below:

We had the privilege of being interviewed by Epic Games regarding our work on Chivalry: Medieval Warfare on the UDK. Here is the opening snippet:

———————————–

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

When Torn Banner Studios wanted to make a game that supported their vision of intricate melee combat in a multiplayer setting, they turned to Epic’s Unreal Development Kit (UDK). The powerful Unreal Engine 3 toolset and generous payment structure is allowing them to make the game of their dreams…

We are also going to be releasing a new gameplay video very soon! It’s been too long already we know but its on its way and in the new year we’ll be looking to expand our testing team (beta?) so keep your eyes peeled for future news from Torn Banner Studios on Chivalry Medieval Warfare. Also if you haven’t yet, be sure to like us on Facebook for exclusive updates!

War is the Destruction of Beauty

This week we reveal to you the new stoneshill, as you can see from the shots this time we went with a much more royal, colourful feel to it. This will be a strong contrast from the previous map we showed (Battlegrounds), but we wanted a mix of maps where you feel like you are entering a battle in progress and maps where you are the first troops to charge to battle.

This will allow us to in the future have players dynamically trashing areas of the map as they complete objectives so by the time the map is complete it will seem much more like a warzone, which also helps players to see their progression.

We’re also getting closer to being ready to show off some gameplay footage which will finally feature ranged weapons such as the crossbow as well as shields in action.

Thanks and let us know what you think of the game and any suggestions on our forums over at www.ChivalrytheGame.com !

Hey guys, been a while since our last update but we’ve gone through a series of changes on the game that should allow us to reach a much higher production quality for the release. This time its a short update on how the environments are shaping up and some brief glimpses of the combat system in action.

We know that you guys are all excited to see a gameplay video and learn more about how the combat will look and feel in the new game. We are working towards making that happen and we’re just clearing some polish before we’re ready to show off the new combat and animations in a gameplay video.

We’ve also launched a brand new website over at www.ChivalrytheGame.com that has much more information on the game and exclusive screenshots so be sure to let us know what you think of it on our forums. And be sure to check back next weekend for another update. Here’s a sneak preview:

Also, if your a programmer with unrealscript experience and an interest in the project, go ahead and send us an email over to contact@chivalrythegame.com with your resume and any relevant work experience, we’re looking for you!
