I saw this posted over at SimHQ:

Looks pretty neat. I'm not a kickstarter kind of guy, but if I was going to kickstart something, this is the type of game it would be.
Sounds like a Mount & Blade but with less focus on being a warlord.
One thing I like about this is the fact finally a medieval game that doesn't feel the need to include fantasy like magic and dragons and such...always wanted this type of game where it stays realistic versus adding in the fantasy part.
There's a very long write-up on it over at Rock Paper Shotgun too if you're interested. It's not only a Kickstarter but a traditionally developed game too.

Tsk... another KS project that uses GBP instead of any other currency, thereby forcing you to input CC details and making me unwilling to back it.

So true. In fact you are a blacksmith in the game. I guess that gives you a headstart on crafting.

Yes, yes, yes... I refuse to buy skyrim because of all that fantasy crap. I wanted war of the roses to be the medieval rpg but it's a MP focused game like BF4 with swords. I will definitely keep my eye on this one.

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed that this went the Kickstarter route. I'll likely wait until the retail release, as I have no real desire to be in early access or beta.
Me neither, but it does look like it needs to stay on my radar!
