Hi! I`m sitting here and thinking that Kenshi could use a lot more attention from general gaming public which would result in more funds coming in therefore speeding up development possibly in the form of a larger dev team.

So I propose doing something similiar to what Wolfire Games guys are doing with YouTube videos regulary demonstrating the progress on the game`s gameplay and art - http://www.youtube.com/user/WolfireGames/videos

They`ve gathered quite a following that way and in my opinion Kenshi could do the same. Maybe not to the same degree due to genre differences but Kenshi is unique enough to gather considerable attention.

Of course such video production takes time out of actually developing the game but the merit is there. What do you think?

Yeah but I think he's stopped playing Kenshi for now. He said he has done pretty much everything the game can offer at the moment and will continue the series after development has gone a little bit further. :|

it's always the same, if the devs are doing videos on yt they're not making the game. there's enough people already complaining on the speed of updates, slowing them down even more would make them insane i think

That's true however some guys in the community here on the forums could make little update trailers for chris, just an idea.

I wouldn't think making a dev diary to take up that much time. I really like Wolffire's video blogs, and they get a huge number of views.

Isn't wolfire the group that made Overgrowth? The game looks exactly like Kenshi, but with bunny mod installed :lol:

the sequal to one of the best PC martial arts fighting games looks (lugaru) looks like kenshi?.... Ok maybe it kinda does, but not when you're playing it considering you're throwing and blocking each strike, performing wall jump kicks and whatnot.
