Other Weapons.

[Lokloklok]

Hello, first of Im new and want to say this looks great,i will buy it. I know finding the animations might be hard work but lets say you did, would you add things like naginata's yari and such? Or is this a kind of strictly sword setting? Thanks for your time and good luck!

I believe chris liked the idea of other weapons like random items found around, like a 2X4 or steel bar and pipe, stuff like that.

btw, did you bring us bees?

Sixth: will it just be swords, or will it be like ranom items found in scrap piles, example: steel bar, wooden 2X4, cement blocks, items laying around mostly?
I've only made swords, but thats a good idea..

His exact words.
(To clarify, this was from a post in which Chris answered a bunch of questions at once.)

I would like to add more, but finding all the necessary animations is a problem.

[ArcaneSaint]

Well, perhaps once the game is released you can use some of the money to hire someone to help with the animations. Or perhaps someone could mod in some new animations? (that someone certainly won't be me, I'm not so good at animations/art )

[Lokloklok]

All i brought was apple bees. Hopefully you could find naginata animations, that would be cool.

In kenshi there will probably be various types and styles of weapons, so how are you going to categorize the weapons or any skills affiliated with them?

Elder Scrolls Oblivion style:
Blunt weapons - Blade weapons - Ranged weapons

Weight style:
Light weapons - medium weapons - heavy weapons

Weapon type style:
Sword skill - Axe skill - Spear skill - bow skill - wacky impromptu lets kill with households object skill

wacky impromptu lets kill with households object skill

That would be "Dwarf Fortress Style"

Katanas - Sabres - Hackers - Heavy weapons - Unarmed - Bows - Harpoon guns - Turrets

The ones in bold will be in the 1st release. I may also add blunt weapons later on.

Harpoon guns, hmmm..... if there are any sand whales in Kenshi they are now definitely screwed.


As for Dwarf Fortress that game is awesome (but I use the Mayday graphic module, only because every time I am near a moving river on the original it looks like the matrix).

For the record, I'm totally +1ing unarmed. Love the idea of running around with a guy who can kill fifty armed opponents with his bare hands, no matter how much work it takes to get to that point.

+1,2,3-ing Harpoon guns. I want to nail my enemies to the wall
