What is "Kenshi Life"?
Kenshi Life is a complete overhaul of the current game, it adds new Factions, NPCs, Rivarlys and plenty more features.
So what is the main intentions of this modification?
When I began creating this modification I was doing it for my own personal wants, of what I desired in the game. This being a larger population of the world, that ranged from huge armies that patrolled around the world, to the smaller things such as Homeless beggars patrolling cities and towns for nothing more than some simple change. I really pictured Kenshi coming into life, I wanted to see other NPC's getting on with daily life that made me feel as if I was doing just the same.
So what are the main features of the game, and what will we see in later updates?
Well currently its just an idea that i'm putting into the game, I have a pictured path that I am taking and it seems to be going great at the moment. Below is a list of things that are either already implemented into the modification or still being developed.
- The world will be split into two halves, each side is either ruled by the United Nations or The Brotherhood. (These are explained below.)
- Each faction currently in the game and also new to the game will either be banded with the United Nations/The Brotherhood or solo Factions.
- Two main factions, The Empire & Waru Oni.
- More advanced NPC's & Dialogues.
- Huge battles.
- Plenty more items and craftable weapons.
- A balanced system that doesn't give the player any beneficial sides that the original game doesn't.
- A fully written history of the world & Factions.
- More Character choices, each will give the player a new aim to achieve in-game.
- World Design redone.
- New machines that give the player different items.
- Banks/Loans/Savings.
- "Mounts" - To be thought about, this is not confirmed.
- Plenty other ideas, that are still in development and are not worth mentioning at this time.
Can you explain in more detail some of the features?
First I will explain about the world itself and how I intend to design it. Ok so my main intentions regarding the world was to split it in half, not physically but with two different sides that were filled with Factions, So each side goes under a name this name isn't a Faction more of just a name given to link all the Factions that fall under it together.
So the first side which I suppose you could call civilized and structured is the "United Nations" which occupies the west side of the world, a list of Factions in this area are as followed.
- The Empire
- The Holy Nation
- Imperial Guards
- Etc.
The East side of the map is run by the less civilized and corrupt Factions, the name they go by is "The Brotherhood". Same as above they hold the aggressive Factions.
- Waru Oni
- All Bandit Factions
- Crime Syndicates.
- Etc.
So above you can see that the sides both have a new Faction, this being "The Empire & Waru Oni". so I will explain a little more in detail about both of these Factions as they now play a major role in the world. The Empire hold a huge city that up keeps the law and makes sure that citizens in the surrounding area are protected, they are also the most dominant Faction for the "United Nations", No more information can be given at this time about The Empire as I'm still tweaking alot of the details and Faction relations with this Faction.
Waru Oni on the other hand are the dominant force that occupy "The Brotherhood" area, they are very tribal and have a huge army. They believe that The Empire has stolen their land and will stop at nothing to retake what they believe is theirs.
This is about enough information to which I can give at the moment, as I said this is in heavy development and I want to make sure I have everything set out in stone before presenting any more of it. This is not a thread that is going to die out, I will be updating it when I have made enough progress to present a new features. However I can tell you a few things I will be using in the creation of this Mod.
- 3D Software for Custom Buildings/Weapons/Armour/NPC's/General Clutter.
- In-depth dialogues, that are professionally written.
- Custom content regarding menu's etc.
- High Definition Textures created by myself.
- Advanced Faction Structures.
- Things placed in the world that are plausible, nothing will be made that seems to unrealistic or silly to how the original game is set.
Pictures will be put up soon, I'm currently struggling to get the world editing working so until I can find a fix or the construction set is updated I will be stuck with a very plain Thread, my apologizes.
I hope you will finish your mod someday. I'd be happy to test it.
