never, there has been no updates on any progress in 2 years.
I have watched several hours of faggots playing Kenshi on YouTube but have not played the game myself. I'm too scared.But I will try this when if it releases
>>738641140that's nonsense, just buy the fucking game and play it already, faggot
yeah let me know when it gets rimworld pawn level interaction outside of chopping and butchering and cannibalizing and refitting limbs
don't care desu, it was a nice game regardlessit would be nice for some areas to be anything other than desert, hopefully we see some forests or something if it releases
>>738641074>guy who abandoned his first game is unreliableYou don't say.
>>738641779>abandonedIts feature complete with very good mod support so basically anything is possible.What do you want exactly.
>>738641853the mod support thing is a lie, it took 8 years before we could actually have proper mods specifically because there was no real mod support/frameworklove me kenshi and love me re-kenshi but don't throat the dev who left without giving basic modding tools to his "passion project"
Anyone got a good modlist I can just copypaste? All the compatibility issues are doing my head in.
>>738641074kenshi fitmore
>>738641853mod support was very lackluster until just recently when the game got a scrip extender
How do I get a Kenshi waifu
its amazing to me how quickly and without any pushback this lie spread. all it took was one youtuber making a video.. its baffling.
>>738641751>it would be nice for some areas to be anything other than desert>acid forest>swamps>conifer forests in the north>canyons with rivers>beachesanon you might need to play again, there's all kinds of biomes
>>738641074Who in their right mind would waste time developing a fucking video game when they can have daily loving sex with their cute sister?
>>738641853Feature complete? What features? The world has no dynamic life of its own, no real interactions the player can engage in, no main quest. It's a barebones framework of a game.
They are using UE 5, it's dead on arrival anyways
Kenshi is the most boring game I've ever played.
>>738641853>feature completeYou're a funny guy.
>>738641530I lack the creativity to set goals for myself. I know exactly how it will go.I will start the game, scavange some shit, nothing will happen except getting my ass beat, then I will have no goal and get bored. I would rather keep the $30.This is a me problem.
>>738641594rimworld can only dream of having the soul that kenshi has.
>>7386427942000 cats
>>738646616I have only 2
>>738641074If Rimworld was bad the game
>>738641074there should be an organization that takes guys like this dev chains them in the office and forces them to finish projects, maybe with help of a small team for doing the grunt work
>>738646808open source would fix this
>>738642587There's a modpack on the steam community workshop called 'MEGA Kaizo/UWE+ Modpack', I' had quite a bit of fun with it. If you're a holy nation guy like me I also recommend downloading 'The Holy Crusade'.
>>738646513that's pretty much how all my kenshi playthroughs go. i'll start an outpost and start farming and making something, and then get bored with that. then some bandit raids will happen and then they become another chore. then, you will go level up your character and then find some fun when you start beating stuff that was beating you up. then you think you will recruit some people and make a cool squad but then levelling them up again becomes its own chore. the inevitable boss rush mode happens until you get bored of that too. at some point, the game becomes put medkits/repair kits on your guys, give them robotics/medic jobs and then 3x through all combat, open the map and right click the next locationthe interesting thing in kenshi is figuring out the systems while not dying until your character is strong. but once you know how to get that point without fail, the game offers you nothing to do. it's really easy to get more money than you can spend. i guess the other point is that you are meant to make your own story in the game, but it's also impossible to do because there's no reactivity in the world. choose some faction you like, go kill the factions they don't like. they might raid you later and then some towns will change. gee whizz fuck all happened and you go back to the drawing board asking what to do next. then you exit the game
>>738646513You're a fag. I'm the same and I still had fun
>>738646808okay but what if your workers are former unicycle artists and bunch of artists?that's how Kenshi team looks like
>>738642175There are mods for it. You can download them right from the workshop. What are you complaining about.
>>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NNBMGkzi51gIT'S FUCKING HAPPENING!!! TRAILER DROPPED
Don't care Kenshi is already great.
>>738641853You're not fooling anyone, Chris.
>>738641779Fuck off back to R*ddit.
Jerma's Kenshi run was so funny though, he got gaslighted into starting with the hardest mod and spent the few hours crawling for his life, after being (failed) enslaved, only for the new city to lock him up. Then spent eternity trying to break out of the prison. He started a new file new char with a dog only to be locked up immediately again, which he did upon himself after inspecting an interactable slave pole, then after getting out immediately found himself witness to a holy war between nations, which he took the opportunity to loot the dead bodies, and scoot away with valuables, only to lose to a fucking small wild dog lol. Character got up eventually, but his own dog is now dying from hunger and keeps passing out, so he's running around for HOURS trying to find help at the closest city/town (still unmarked maps), while carrying his dog around. One point he was asked to play OST from different games for the stream, so there's like copyright LOTR typeshit BGM, then Pikmin, Animal Crossing, and then when he found a small encampment, Earthbound music starts playing in sync with his plans and activities in-game and it was GLORIOUS LMAO. If you know Jerma he's kind neurotic ADHD so he doesn't really play complex micromanaging games, but you know how janky Kenshi is, and the janks in the game just coincidence with his inert comedic traits and divine timing.
>>738651730>copyright-free
>>738641751Did you ever travel east or south? >>738641140>ifIt's never coming out anon, it is the most vapor of ware you'll ever see. Not even Duke Nukem Forever was ever as much vaporware as Kenshi 2 definitely is. Just play the first game already you twat, it's great.
>>738651965I meant west, and now I have to leave this thread forever.
>>738641074goodwhen the dev stated that he wouldn't let the players utilize slavery, only fall victim to it, because he wants you to be forced to take a stand against it, I knew he was incapable of kinoI bet kenshi 2 wouldn't even feature quadruple amputees, or throwing women in cages
>>738652489but you canyou can kidnap innocent people and sell them into slavery
>>738653095but if you buy them the only option is to set them free, you can't run a labor camp like the NPCs do
>>738641074it will release in early access when elin reaches 1.0
>>738653191No they dont? Have you even played the game?
Youtuberslop game
>>738653290have you?https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/Stone_Camp
>>738653191Without shackles they will follow you around before running away when youre out of town if you dont have shackles. Mechanically they function like mercenaries do where you can pay them but they dont join your party to command and they will hang around, they have to actually be in your party and you put shackles on them and give them a job anon.>the slave I bought just ran when I took his chains off wtfYea, funny that.
>>738653191This isn't ideological issue but technical oneGame is so primitive it doesn't even track personality for normal characters. There is no way to make slave characters different from your normal ones, like in Rimworld for an example which actually tracks traits like this and has slavery tooIn KenshiYou can capture, kidnap, torture and sell people into slaveryYou can ally with slavery aligned factions and destroy anti-slavery factionPolitical beliefs of a game creator do not factor into this
>>738641594you can just be honest and say you want sex mods and people will point you where to gonot me because they're ugly and jank but someone will
I heard that very recently a real community modding framework was released.Any good mods so far?
>>738641853>very good mod supportit took until this year to get a script extender, all to brute force how horrible the game is to mod retardbro
>>738654013Bump for this, also curious.
>>738641751Beep
>>738651730You're leaving out the best part in that he still loved it while all his viewers hated it and were begging him to play something else but he just kept forcing it on them anyway
>>738641074https://youtube.com/watch?v=XdACz7fG_ak
>>738654258They did the same thing with Mount and Blade, his zoomer audience cant handle 10 seconds of inactivity and he got mad. Some games are just not good for streaming without prior knowledge of them, and the audience you get is the one you cultivate I guess.
>>738641853>What do you want exactly.They have absolutely no idea and never will. Retards hear “sandbox” and don’t know what it means and just assume it’s an everything simulator where you can have gay buttsex. Everything written on Kenshi’s store page is 100% accurate and true
>>738641853At this point, its my favourite game that exists. What I want from a sequel is the capacity for overhauls for modding. Let me take this gameplay and drop it onto other worlds, the game is a genre of its own and if noone else is going to make games with their own take on it and minor changes I would rather a version of the game just be highly moddable, and I hope thats what the sequel is.This would be the only game where you can recreate all of Middle Earth and Azaroth, and it not be an MMO where you control just one character. Give me the tools, let me make my own fun and let me live long enough to see it.
>>738641074Anon, Kenshi 1 was in development for 16 years. If Chris is making the sequel at the same sppeed, it won't come out until the mid 2030s, at the earliest.
>>738653512It was in development since 2002.
>>738648674He wants buttsex mods, but only recently they became possible thanks to a script extender thing.
>>738641074I like kenshi : )
How's that stobe mod for kenshi? Does it allow unique NPC interactions through gen AI like convincing random storekeepers to migrate to your city, convince town lords to surrender to you if they can see you have overwhelming forces, or incite violence and revolts through spreading rumours or is it just a chatbot on top of only the basic vanilla gameplay features?
>>738642794Faggot
Ai slop is the only way I can get Kenshi arts.
>>738641594rimworld could 100% have a kenshi-like behaviors mod. we need an autistic dev to hyperfixate on this.
This game is pretty fun to play until you make a base
>>738658158That's sad. Have some art.
>>738658434If youre going to make a base go into it expecting to make a settlement and not just walls around a place to farm stats. The party cap is 200 something, use it, turn the game into an RTS where you manually outfit and train each fighter.
>>738658705Oh I've done such things before. The problem is that base building as a whole is very barebones since while you can automate your jobs the only things you need to manage is food (unless they're skeles) and them getting their shit kicked in by whatever the main threat of the area is. Characters can sit their on a mining node for eternity and only need to stop to grab some food. On top of that It's basically impossible to make your base feel like an actual settlement as theirs no actual interactions unless some npcs come by with the wandering trader ai package. In the 2000+ hours I've played this game I enjoy it a lot when I'm playing a roaming band of ronin or even settle in a town like Catun or Stoat but my interest in a playthrough plummets the moment I make a base.
>>738641074That's okay I'll stick with Kenshi 1. I have projects to finish, big plans. After trying and failing to purchase swamp ninjas from slavers (they all ran off talking about how their family needs them, the liars) I have inadvertently allied with them. This has a knock on effect that travelling in the swamp is much easier since spiders and sabres are much more visible than green on green ninjas. The Red Sabres will probably get solved at some point anyway since they have a meitou weapon I covet and the ninjas don't. I've already set up shop in Rot and Mud Town and I figured I could set up a dude in each village to make an ass load of rice and permanently solve the food issue, I'd just need to set up a trade caravan to send it where I need it.The big plan is to find out how to replicate that alliance with the other ninja clans. I'm gonna be the next hokage. Flotsam alliance is basically handed to you and the clans near UC territory should be easy enough, but the Black Dragons aren't near a convenient slaving operation. I think I'll have to carry them through Venge to Eyesocket or all the way down to the Hook. I tried luring them to the Holy Mines but the sentinels just chase me instead, probably because I am a skeleton menace.
AAAAAAAAA FUCK YOU OP FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
Swordpunk is a neat concept
>>738641074I feel like kenshi 2 would get the bannerlord treatment, it wouldn't be much of an upgrade from the first game. Honestly the mod support for kenshi is enough anyway, had a lot of fun making a martial artist who punches peoples arms and legs into space using the monastery mod
>>738642873>>738651965>There are biomes!They all look like shit because the engine runs like dogwater. The forests are nothing but stick trees, the swamp runs like dogshit and ruins the mood, the "acid forest" is just that: completely ruined and devoid of all life beyond spiders. This is supposed to be a prequel in a new engine so hopefully the guy learns to make biomes not look like fucking garbage with some vague lore reasoning of the moon hasn't gone to complete shit yet. You can have 2nd empire collapse with some fucking shrubbery.
>>738641074just wait another 11 years lil bro
they'll drop info and release info soon I can feel it
>>738641853>super barebones basebuilding + outpost raids>most of the map is empty>very simple world state system means much less replayability than there could beit was abandoned>inb4 modsfuck you again
>>738661320Look at Mr. Optimist over here.
>>738654717shut the fuck up you midwit fag
Release Kenshi 2 tomorrow or Beep gets it
>>738641074You know that Kenshi was in early access for fucking ever, right? This is how it goes.
>>738659163Ehhh, I build a bar and they go sit at it when idle. I have people whos only purpose in the base is to haul materials to containers and make things run smoothly. Set all the workers to walk and it feels like a town just carrying on.>army is all the lowest skilled fighters, their job is just to sit at guard positions and run to attack when danger comes>highest skilled fighters are a smaller group that I take out on adventures gathering research artifacts and blueprintsThis is how I always play and just build around certain themes. My favourite was siding with Holy Nation and only using their technology and humans, and having all enemy factions send waves against my base, now Im playing in the cannibal plains where my goal this time is to wipe out all cannibal factions and hunt for money as my main source of income, while also being at war with UC because I didnt pay taxes. So my army is built for speed and dealing with no armour, and is now up against heavy armour, but rather than just start pumping out plate armour for everyone I just stick with it for the theme. So now I have a bunch of fast as fuck swordsmen up against heavily armoured samurai, and cannibals come to take what the prison I built cant hold.Pick a faction and side with them and go to war with all their enemies is the quickest way to come up with an idea for a run. Also the "no more no go zones" can be useful if you want your base to be bombarded from all factions from across the map, where they have to travel to you and thats your prep time.
>>738662578Thanks for the confirmation that I’m right lowwit
>>738662727yeah no shit you're right when you argue something that literally no one brought up or cares about>hurr the store page is accurateokay? quote who said that faggot
>>738662817>i didnt bring it up because it nukes my gay retard criticism so you cant either
