Lo-Fi Games

Unless you're playing a single-player game or a game where all of your characters are either automated or on-screen, it gets really tedious bouncing between the individual squads and keeping track of what they're all doing. It'd be a godsend if Kenshi 2'd have multiplayer so you could play alongside...

The other night I went on a tangent about the potential for emergent storytelling in Kenshi 2 with a viewer and he suggested I pitch the suggestion to the devs, so here I am. It can be found in the first 10 minutes of this highlight . It's kind of rambly, so I'll do my best to summarize in text form...

That's an okay idea, it's just that sleeping takes up time and just having an assigned bed wouldn't. We're already incentivized to make beds so that we can heal, so adding bonuses to having assigned beds wouldn't really do that much.

I hope so. Guess I could give her the benefit of the doubt. Wasn't about to just sit there while somebody talked to BookKeeper that way, though. I was pretty annoyed when somebody seemed to be overlooking what he did right after I shined light on it.

Thanks for not even acknowledging the wrong done to BookKeeper by Grimmrok. I wasn't about to just sit here while that happened. I didn't insult him, I told him to get over himself because he needs to. BookKeeper's response didn't have "little value," it was pretty well-thought out. It's n...

As it has been mentioned again and again: It's not tedious, it's immersive. There are ways to make sleep necessary without making it tedious. Even if it were tedious, the immersive nature of it would make up for it. Adding sleep to the game wouldn't automatically make the game a sim management game....

This isn't a simulator, but it is hardcore. Sleep necessity is hardcore, but not necessarily simulation.

Ark isn't even micromanagement, just preparation for leaving on a supply run etc. Grabbing ammo, maybe a canteen, and maybe some food if it's gonna be a long expedition is fulfilling because it feels more like it would in real life. Even more so when the player gets thirsty, thirsty, or burns throug...

Pretending it's a thing is vastly different from it actually being a thing, so that's irrelevant.

Hunger's not micromanaging at all. Just gotta make sure at least someone in the party has food and everyone can eat. The same would go for water. As for sleep, systems can be implemented to make sure it doesn't become a chore. Warband of 50 people? Toggle "Sleep Mode" on and they'll make c...

Yeah, the fact that NPCs sleep and the player character doesn't need to is another immersion-breaker. Because the world reacts to nighttime it would support more playstyles. Example, making a thief character that sleeps during the day and spends his waking life stealing.

Why are people so opposed to hardcore mechanics in a hardcore game?

I mean, the game isn't about "prize at the end."

It'd also be cool if there were nighttime bandit raids on towns on rare occasion. Starting out, the player would see these spectacles that they're not even close to powerful enough to participate in. Imagine the satisfaction that would come with participating in one of those for the first time and m...

NPC's make no sense include in the game, NPCs are about as hard to see as corpses, so it makes a ton of sense to make them more obvious. The only thing that makes NPCs more visible is when they move, but by then it can be too late. Actually I think this will be handled with the blood update coming ...

Not "end game" content, just things you can't do until you're very powerful.

[Things] That'd be pretty cool. It'd definitely post pone running out of stuff to do in a realistic way. I don't know about the "Join me or die" sentiment as it's pretty petty. Then again, The Holy Empire seems extremely petty so that faction in particular would definitely do something li...

I will compare this game to RimWorld because it's a very good comparison. As a matter of fact, I'd liken Kenshi to RimWorld even more than I'd liken it to Mount and Blade: Warband.

The fast forward feature isn't that powerful, it already take a good bit of time for characters to move between towns. If they were walking it wouldn't make that much of a difference. Plus it's currently way too easy to level athletics, this would be a good way to balance that out.

Yeah, I'm eventually going to be powerful enough to be a group of drifters that bring death to the bandits of the world. When I eventually get to that point it'd be great if I had farms to protect from random events like that. I just hope it doesn't give me map pings for each one because that would ...
