This guys developed the best medieval combat engine ever but the game is completly empty.

Funny thing is for me that knows nothing of programing it sounds harder to code a combat engine than create a bunch of text for quests and game options and some special encounters. Oh well the combat is still amazing.

@AlphaLunaIV The system they have build is perfect but character customization should be integrated with MP and there is an RP mod but it could be made better..

Its easily possible to make this game great but it needs great modders to do it..

Im a pretty decent modeller but Im shit at coding.

[aliendrone123]

[theperfectgod111]

Uhhr and in this one you can see the sun shining.

[MezupK]

oh cool

[GamerDudester]

It wont.

This is just a battle feature, sort of like Counter Strike. The developers of the game don't have the financial and technical capabilities to make it an open world yet.
