	Mount&Blade Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

If you haven't heard of it, there's a pretty popular beta floating around the net of the above title. Think first-person/third-person/RPG style medieval combat, straight up lances, swords, and bows without the fantasy element you usually find in these kind of games. Add to that the ability to raise a small army from peasants to knights and marksmen, and you've got a game that's been occupying the spare time of a whole lot of people here in my dorm.

The game can be downloaded at http://www.taleworlds.com/. The downloaded version allows you to play until 6th level for free; you can keep starting new characters if you want to play more. It's $11 to register the game, and in my opinion, very worth it.

See, the interesting thing about this game is that it's apparently made by just some guy and his wife; there isn't really a company involved. How they found the time to do this, I'll never understand.

Check it out. If nothing else, you'll be giving the independent game developing world a hand.

A great little game. I've been meaning to make a thread about it for a while.

If it's a beta when is the real game coming?

It's true, but don't let it dissuade you. It's really astonishing how much they've done with it; certainly, many final realeases of games with big-name developers and producers are less fun than this thing in beta.

The official response on that, I believe, is "when it's done." New additions and patches are released on a regular basis, mostly as a direct result of communication with users on their boards. For example, I posted that they should include a compass on the main screen, and armagan (the husband guy of the team) posted back, saying it's now on his list of things to do.

When the game does come out, apparently, it will retail for around $25, but those who registered for the full game while it was still $11 won't have to pay anything extra.
