Torn Banner Announces No More Room in Hell 2!

Knights of Chivalry, This has been quite the week for Torn Banner! Weve got exciting news to share about a new and different mod project turned full-blown release from our team. If you remember 2007s Age of Chivalry mod, you may also remember 2011s award-winning Source mod No More Room in Hell. At Summer Game Fest 2024, we announced that No More Room in Hell 2s original developer, Lever Games, was acquired by Torn Banner. The new game is a commercial release in the same world as the 2011 mod, and will be worked on by a core team of veterans from Torn Banner and Lever Games No More Room in Hell 2 team. Were excited to once again utilize our skills and expertise in turning passion-project mod franchises into deep and exciting premium releases that will stand the test of time! Both Chivalry and No More Room in Hell share a compelling DNA of putting yourself on the ground level of a cinematically inspired scenario - whether thats your boots in the dirt of a medieval battlefield, or in the scared shoes of a desperate survivor in a life-like zombie apocalypse. [previewyoutube=jkuwzUd9lGs;full][/previewyoutube] At the PC Gaming Show, we spoke about Co-op with Consequences and about our shared heritage. No More Room in Hell 2 is an intense permadeath co-op journey into the eerie darkness of zombie-infested zones. As an emergency responder, you must survive, scavenge, stockpile and fulfill your mission - then repeat, each time in an ever-changing experience. [previewyoutube=8UIJsu_SSaY;full][/previewyoutube] We followed those announcements up with a Livestream for No More Room in Hell 2, talking to the developers and showing off some never-before-seen aspects of the game.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare - Official Server Sunsetting

Dear Knights of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, After careful consideration and evaluation, weve made the decision that after 12 years of support the official servers for 2012s Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and its DLC Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior, will be taken offline as of April 8th 2024. This decision was not made lightly, and we understand it may impact those dedicated players who wish to play one of their favorite games. Rest assured that this change wont render Chivalry: Medieval Warfare unplayable as unofficial servers have been available for players to access since close to launch. The decision to sunset the official servers come as a result of various factors, including dwindling player count since the introduction of Chivalry 2, evolving industry standards, and the need to allocate resources where they could better serve the Chivalry community as a whole. As a final celebration towards Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Torn Banner Studios staff will be playing throughout the day on Friday, April 5th. Jump on and see if you can strike down a Dev on their own turf. We like to express our sincerest gratitude for the fans of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and how its success over these last 12 years has helped us grow and achieve greater and more impressive goals everyday.

Reflecting on Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

Good morrow, knights! In a concerted effort to include our community in the development process of Chivalry 2, we will be releasing a blog series called Code of Chivalry exploring the creative vision of our upcoming game. We are excited to share details with you over the coming months, and we hope you enjoy a peek behind the development curtain. Today, were sharing a prequel to this series, an Edition 0 if you will, reflecting on our past before diving into our plans for the future.

Reflecting on Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

Released in 2012, Chivalry: Medieval Warfares immediate success blew us away and continued on to exceed our teams wildest dreams. Almost overnight we went from being a bunch of amateur dreamers, who had pieced the game together while working remotely from all over the world, to the overseers of a hit game played by millions. When it first launched, Chivalry captured a certain kind of gritty, visceral, in-your-face intensity and hilarity that hadnt yet been tapped into in gaming. Whether you were jumping into the sun-soaked Moor for a quick FFA, or waging an epic siege in the atmosphere-heavy Battlegrounds map, we have heard from many of our players that Chivalry 1 felt like a "moment" in gaming, not just for the melee genre. We're looking to provide the next "moment" with Chivalry 2 by reconnecting with our drive and passion to deliver the best medieval combat experience possible. But first, we wanted to recap how we as the developers view the success and downfalls of our first attempt at this ambitious project, several years removed from its launch.

Screenshot via Dobrota. Here are what we believe are some of the key factors that made Chivalry a success:

What Chivalry got right:

Upon its launch, Chivalry was well-received as a cult hit and its unique appeal launched our indie dream into the best selling title on Steam throughout the week of Christmas 2012. Sure, it was rough around the edges in everything it did, but it captured a certain special combination that somehow let it become greater than the sum of its parts. This is that combination as we see it: Melee combat - Chivalrys realtime strikes system brought a new level of control over melee combat that allowed for thousands of hours of mastery while promoting player creativity and precision. The combat system represented a unique blend of an FPS and a fighting game and was our approach to capturing the player fantasy of becoming the ultimate swordsman or your favourite medieval movie hero. It was our goal to draw out the competitive spirit of a warrior in our players. In every life you were up against the odds and had to carve a path through waves of incoming opponents, each time just barely finding a way to survive. This constant onslaught of challenge and pursuit of mastery was enhanced by the deep satisfaction of landing strikes with real weight that tore enemies limb from limb. This combined to put players into a battle for survival that was meant to engage both the ancient and modern mind, from the chest-beating primitive drive of dominance, to the intellectual joy of outwitting and besting your opponent. Whether you are a matador or a bull, we provided the arena. Team Objective - Chivalrys vision for an immersive medieval experience was about more than just satisfying combat. Sprawling multi-stage Team Objective maps featured players doing as a medieval army would from slaughtering peasants to besieging castles and slaying kings. This move away from capturing arbitrary points as commonly seen in other games brought a chance for meaning and gave a sense of progression and place to the world. Team Objective is repeatedly mentioned as part of the core of what made the first Chivalry great. It allowed us to make the landscape more than just a surface to battle upon and instead an immersive journey that captured the atmosphere and romance of the era. Personality & humor - The scream button, hilarious voice-overs, and blood gurgling death rattles all served to bring the player into the experience and let them make it their own. Chivalry's incomparable tone is no accident, but the result of our attempt to balance the intensity, violence and relentless challenge the game presents, with the offsetting release of Monty Python inspired humour. Whether our players choose to focus on the immersion of roleplaying and the intensity of battle, or just get drunk and lop off heads to release some steam, we made the game to be that ultimate medieval escape. It also needs to be mentioned what an incredible addition all of the community-made content, maps, and mods contributed to the game. We loved seeing what our players came up with and feel extremely lucky to have had so many people spend their time and effort on helping us make Chivalry what it came to be. All that said over time the perception and experience of playing Chivalry soured for many and we feel it is important to be honest and upfront about our negative thoughts looking back as well.

Where Chivalry fell short:

After millions of player hours, years of time in the gaming world, and also just our growing dev experience, we are able to look back more soberly and see the wrinkles far more clearly. Heres where some of the major problem areas lie: Failure to address key game issues - This one we hear about the most, and we simply agree it was our biggest mistake. As time and player experience progressed, the combat on Chivalrys servers began a downward trend. Players began to discover novel ways of abusing and manipulating the Real-Time Strikes system (Dragging) which especially at higher skill levels resulted in animation issues that made the combat difficult to read and frustrating to fight against. These moves were effective enough to become part of the meta of the game and changed the experience, making it confusing and annoying for most players. We should have fixed it, and never did. This was due to a mixture of originally underestimating how much of an issue it was and failing to listen to the right voices in the community. Polish/Bugs - Aside from the ballerina moves, the most common negative words we heard from the community was that the game felt Clunky and Janky. These are odd words, but we took Clunky to mean - Feels unresponsive or sluggish without clear indication, and Janky - Looks bad or broken, feels cheap or unfair.'' Looking back, this is certainly the case about Chivalry 1s gameplay and is one of the clearest signs of age in the product now. Our lack of experience and inability at the time to deliver a truly polished game is one of the main things that held Chivalry back from a wider audience and better reception. Onboarding/Clarity - While less mentioned within the hardcore community, we are very aware that confusion is a big part of why many new players didnt come back. The game did not present its depth well. Many players bounced off Chivalry early due to frustration from a sense of hopelessness or not knowing how to get better before they were able to appreciate the intricacies of high-level play. While it could be fun and skillful once you got over the hump, its early game was oppressive and new players were punished in ways that felt unfair and were ultimately pushed away. Low-rank beginner servers were a bandaid solution that never addressed the underlying issues and made for a rude awakening at level 16. Poor communication - We as a studio struggled to navigate our relationship with our community. We often failed to communicate the rationale behind design changes, went long stretches being silent and could have done a better job at fostering a closer relationship with our loyal base of players. This combined for some to deliver the impression that we did not care. While that was never true, we understand the sentiment. Ultimately our fear of making mistakes while interacting with the community and desire to just focus on making games led us to mishandle the relationship with our fans and earned a negative reputation for the studio in some circles. Fostering a sense that we abandon our games - We released the DLC Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior in 2013 as an opportunity to explore a more light-hearted and fun extension of the player fantasies to several new iconic factions (ninjas, pirates, etc.). While cheesy and over-the-top, our team loved working on this project and its faster, more diverse gameplay was enjoyed by some, but ultimately it split the community and led us to have to make a difficult choice about which title to continue to support long-term. We made the decision to return to the base game as a result, and the DLC was left with a short lifespan. Add to this our tone-deaf announcement of 2017s Mirage: Arcane Warfare to a community that was desperately wanting us to focus our efforts on capturing the potential of Chivalry by addressing its core issues, and the sense of abandonment felt by some of our fans becomes clear. We should also emphasize that despite not addressing some of the core issues as noted above, we did continue to fully support Chivalry for over 3 years. We added a substantial amount of free content and upwards of 40 significant patches, long after it was profitable for us to do so. However, we understand that players feel like the exploits and other issues mentioned here should have been addressed in a more complete way and that our failure to do so ultimately hurt the game. Despite these flaws and mistakes, we look back on Chivalry today with a mixture of pride and determination to capture the potential we left on the table, as we continue our work on Chivalry 2. In our next blog, well dive right into the nitty-gritty of Chivalry 2 as we continue to reveal the Code of Chivalry. In the near future, we also plan to reflect on our studios second title, Mirage: Arcane Warfare. Obviously there are many more things that went well and not so well, but we wanted to touch on what we felt were the biggest items and ask our community: what did you love/hate about the first Chivalry?

spawn point access blockering, some were quite easy to get into from the outside.
Also some blocking volumes added to prevent a map exploit where players could get inside buildings they aren’t meant to.
Cove LTS - fully blocked off spawn point zones

set lightshaft meshes and fireflies to medium detail up from low (will not show up on low detail now). Set fixed bounds on fireflies particle system.

added blockers during the first stage to prevent you from reaching the gate to the king, preventing attackers from camping the gate before the ram objective is complete to make it more fair to defenders

Outpost

set owner of first objective properly so when Agatha successfully completes it they are no longer told they failed
tent burning progress bars are now split between left/right tents
changed values on mason chieftain AI settings to not be out of range (which can make the AI act dumb)

New! FFA map in the final library area of Drunken Bazaar

Misc maps

there was one stair mesh with bad lightmaps which is all over hillside

Torn Banner debuts new gameplay action of Mirage at E3 PC Gaming Show

Torn Banner Studios, the creators of the popular first-person medieval combat game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare appeared onstage at this year’s E3 PC Gaming Show to present a fresh look at the intense combat scenarios of their new game Mirage: Arcane Warfare, and announce the game’s release this fall on PC.

Why Torn Banner isn’t making a Chivalry sequel (yet)

[img=http://www.tornbanner.com/wp-content/uploads/tbsgroup2016-normal-crop-sm.jpg][/img] In advance of next week’s PC Gaming Show at E3, we were invited to share our perspective on PC gaming and game development. Torn Banner Studios’ Alex Hayter wrote about why we have decided to create a new IP with Mirage, instead of an immediate sequel to Chivalry. Here’s an excerpt: Where’s Chiv 2? After a huge seller like Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, the most obvious path to immediate success would be for our studio to develop a direct sequel, sit back and watch those 3.5+ million players and their Benjamins roll back in. Instead, the next title from Torn Banner is a magic fantasy action game that’s more Arabian Knights meets Game of Thrones than medieval European fantasy. This isn’t a world of chivalrous knights and kings but flame throwing mages and occult assassins. Gone are the castles and catapults, replaced by Middle Eastern-inspired marble palaces and magic seals. It’s Mirage: Arcane Warfare—a new first person multiplayer slasher that is much less a direct sequel and more like Chivalry’s magically gifted cousin. By developing a unique new IP, rather than Chivalry 2, our studio is aiming for long term creative and commercial success instead of grabbing at low hanging fruit.

Mirage Gameplay and Coverage from PAX East

Watch eight minutes of raw gameplay from Mirage: Arcane Warfare from its first public appearance at PAX East 2016. The new title from the creators of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare will release later in 2016. https://youtu.be/VqQyMKHphcs Recorded by our own team, in an Alpha version demo of Mirage. Plus, check out PAX East hands-on media impressions of Mirage - to be updated with more to come! TotalBiscuit "It needs a little bit more skill, it's less defensive, it's a more aggressive combat system in general - particularly with the addition of abilities. The combat can be quite fast paced at times but it still has the weight of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare" https://youtu.be/66L8k0Ebwks Angry Joe “You know Chivalry: Medieval Warfare? Take that, take the training wheels off, take the historical restrictions away and then just go crazy with it and that’s what you have here with magic and special abilities.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YklJpKCCpNs Game Informer “The premise is easy to love, and with a focus on blocking magic and melee attacks at the right time while finding an opening for magic spells, Mirage is more than just your average FPS with swords and fireballs.” http://www.gameinformer.com/games/mirage_arcane_warfare/b/pc/archive/2016/04/27/mirage-arcane-warfare-adds-explosive-magic-to-chivalrys-brutal-sword-combat.aspx Tom’s Hardware “These days, you’re bound to see another multiplayer game with some variation on the first-person shooter (FPS) mechanic. However, Torn Banner stuck to its guns (pun intended) to deliver competitive multiplayer with a melee twist. Adding magic to the mix makes for new ways to take out enemies without overpowering the melee combat that serves as the game's backbone.” http://www.tomshardware.com/news/mirage-arcane-warfare-pax-east,31676.html Force Gaming “Having played the game I’d say this is definitely a positive direction that they’re taking it in. They’ve got the the similarly deep combat mechanics [as Chivalry] but then with the extra layer of magic they can make combat a bit more interesting and add an extra layer of depth” https://youtu.be/UuiYaBZdT-w PC Gamer interview “We’re bringing fighting game mechanics into multiplayer.” https://youtu.be/J6g1fQOAK0w Hardcore Gamer “After every convention, certain games seem to stand out as the clear winners of a given event. After spending forty-five minutes with the brutal, intense Mirage: Arcane Warfare, it’s safe to say that players should eagerly anticipate Torn Banner’s next title. After all, there was a reason why fans kept on flocking back to hop in and get another match in rather than seeing something new.” http://www.hardcoregamer.com/2016/04/25/pax-east-mirage-arcane-warfare-combines-deep-skill-and-dumb-fun/203877/

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Patch 46

A new patch is now available for Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. This patch adds a quartet of new Workshop items created by artist Oilystool, and donated for free to Chivalry players - as a way for the prolific Chivalry content creator to give back to the community. Follow the Chivalry Community on Steam to unlock the following items:

Myrmidon, a Javelin replacement for the Archer.
The Milanese, a Quarterstaff replacement for the Man-at-arms.
Headhunter, a Messer replacement for the Knight.
Cold Spectre, a Greatsword replacement for the Vanguard.

The patch also addresses the following fixes. Changes

Added the Royal Squad helm, a helmet replacement for the Agatha Archer by Ni Huishenme (part of the Royal Squad set).
Removed console command exploits
Decreased range of “kick” action
Added customization options to Mercenary Roundshield by Oilystool
Removed all collision from a couple foliage meshes that blocked weapons
Map fixes:
- Irilla: fixed two points bugs: Masons no longer get endless points until you die if you were in the trebuchet volume when the trebuchet objective is completed. Can no longer use the ram after the second door is destroyed, thus getting endless free points.
- Stoneshill village FFA/TDM: made the gate to the castle with no collision a feature, not a bug! Gate is now visibly open. Fixed a broken blocking volume on top of a village house.
- Hillside: "defend the ballista"/"destroy ships" hud markers stuck off in the distance removed.
- Colosseum: side gate with potentially no collision fixed.
- Belmez: added double check to fix potential issue where spawn points don't change after the barn is burnt.
- Citadel: fixed collision issue on broken bridge mesh which was breaking firepots.
- Drunken Bazaar: smoothed over collision on rubble immediately under bridge crank. Set final area peasants to non-moving so they stop wandering off the balcony. Added kill volumes off the balcony to prevent map escaping out that-a-way. Removed sticky spot on a rock along the push path.
- Darkforest: further blocked off a roof in the final area that should be inaccessible
- Belmez: fixed invisible spawn boat.
- Castle Assault: removed access to a map exploit by walking on some cliffs in the river near the first objective.
- Castle assault duel: moved spawn points outside of the inaccessible rooms
- Shore: minor collision improvement on arch near first Agatha spawn.
- Hideout: stuck spot behind a pillar jumping down to the breakable gate
- Coldfront: that one floating torch. Siege weapons are disabled after second objective completes. Replaced the bots on the docks that usually go completely unnoticed with simple animated peasants. Blocked gate from being able to be hit from the rear.
- Outpost: added extra collision to tree trunks that could be hidden in.
