Clothing suggestions / Inspiration

[Jimbob7944]

Japan has a strong culture and decorated history. Currently the only clothes available are pretty much pants... SO HERE are images I found off google to use as inspiration for you ^-^ Clothes that would be cool to see in the game some day!

Tho i like Japanese culture and all, gotta remeber, Kenshi is not set in Japan, tho i would like see maybe a "japan based faction" or something like this, you gota remember if it s in general, it s not apropriate.

This game isn't set in Japan...

Bringing some Japanese themed items would be cool since there is a lot of influence from japan in this game but it is true that its not based in japan from the resources ive gathered. Multiple influences are found in this game and i would love to see them amped up a bit but without going too far into it.

I think that just about sums up how I feel about the game, I want variety with all sorts of different factions inspired by certain cultures with a strong steam punk influence (as seen in the police outfit in the screenshots) I think the road that the developer is taking is so far the right one. Though I am still hoping that I will be getting different tribes in the next update rather than having to change the sizes and colours of my toons and pretend one pigmy came from the highest alps and the other tall fella from africa.

I personally would like something really quite distanced from the "Japanese theme".

Now, what I would really love would be what I would consider the polar opposite - 'Northman Theme'
fighting with axes, more berserker-esque fighting style, implementing shields and shield walls and for the style - fur cloaks, pagan talismans, EPIC BEARDS and unruly long hair!

Now, these guys wouldn't settle in a desert, so it would have to be after new lands have been implemented. If mountainous forests were implemented, maybe we could also have new building trees implemented? That's for another thread.

Homespun Tunics are the way forward.

There will be more biomes on the future, and ice is a possiblity, there might be or not, and like others i prefer variaty as well, tho i don t see shields making their debut on Kenshi. Tho some axes axes, and a northen based faction would be good to see as well, and don t worry there will be beards (maybe we get a badass beard like the creator ).

[GoatsOnABoat]

I would be most bitterly disapointed if shields were not implemented, for atleast some factions/Tribes. It was only some of the Asian lands that did not use shields.

It would seem incredibly illogical to forsake shields in this game, with all the crafting and possibilties this game is aiming for. And the talk of implemeting rudimentry ranged weapons in the future, but not a couple of planks to fend them off?

For hundreds of years, from Greeks, Romans, Saxons and Vikings used shield-walls. They have never really been portrayed fairly in games. Kenshi could be perfect if Tactics and formations were to be utilised.

But yeah for EPIC BEARDS!

[Pyper]

While I would like to see my Captain swordsman fighting a axe and should wielding chieftain surrounded by corpses of fallen allies and enemies in a winter forest, how would shields play out balance and animation wise?




I could see them greatly improving defense while decreasing attack but animations might be tricky with the 3 direction blocking system. Maybe a short clash animation like shogun 2?

In the end though it doesn't feel like it goes with the theme. Kenshi feels like a kind if world were skilled swordsman travel in solitude in the desert, in which the use of a sword and a sword alone is an graceful art to be mastered.

Cloaks and garbs should be added since they can be used like beds, and were the equivalent in the middle eastern and European era of a sleeping bag. they also add coolness factors for assassins go figure :p. At night there should be a chillness factor your health will go down and you will die if you don't have enough clothes or loose heath at least.

Fatigue or endurance could be a factor but I love running too much.

[Senusret]

I would love to see more middle eastern style clothes. Also ancient greek and persian styles could be used as inspiration as well. Turbans would be really cool. Also the cultural dress and styles of Southern Russia, Caucasus mountain area such as Chechnya, Dagestan, Armenia.. I would be so happy if some styles from these strange and exotic cultures were in the game.
