| Taleworlds Entertainment is an independent game development studio based in Ankara,
Turkey. The studio has started its life with a garage project called Mount&Blade,
which was developed with limited resources, but which neverthless displayed the team's
principles of good game design, fresh ideas, and deep, open-ended gameplay. An alpha
version of Mount&Blade was released to the public in 2005 and it quickly gained
a significant fan-base among gamers. Taleworlds continued to work on the game, eventually
partnering with Paradox Interactive to bring out a retail version. The stuido also grew
with the game, and is continuing to add talented graphics artists and programmers to its core team. |
