Final Feature Plans

[rincarsarff]

Could CaptainDeathBeard edit (update) his original post to say where it is at so far again. 6 months is a long time to not provide an update to their final features overview, even if we can sift through the updates from then until now. Like, I assume smuggling & illegal goods are real now since we have hashish and the HN generally frisks me for illegal goods.

The animations don't bother me. Pathing, hauling, and wall-building do.

So does the texture-loading. I've gotten to where I'll leave someone at base so I can "warp" back to them from a distant location (using reset squad locations) and skip all the texture loading and pathing miscues inbetween,

But yes, there's a lot of stuff that needs to be fixed and updated. Pathing is definitely one of the other major things I'd like to see fixed and improved. I just don't see how this is a 0.93 game right now, but maybe there will be a hundred more .001 versions or something. Dunno.

took the words right out of my mouth

4- If we make the expansion idea next, then we could also spend some of that time adding the dropped features and add them to the base game too (for free).

I`m definitely voting for an expansion in a form of DLC to the existing game or a standalone version of "Kenshi Enhanced", for example. It will take much less time to develop, I think.

[XpDc]

it would be great if kenshi have mount animal feels like samurai but if don't have the game still cool. sorry for bad english

[lucidmadness]

I think smaller ranged weapons (not turrets) are really the only big thing (in my opinion) Kenshi needs

[Dragonborn Operative]

Hey bruh, theres still people playing kenshi.
Im really hoping assaults are launched against your homebase.
( And for ranged to be added ) - ( so that i could atleast mod in some very basic crude gunpowder rifles )

As for modding, ive tried looking around how to edit existing .mesh files, to see how you guys exported your rigged armors into the game,
and as for exporting, i managed to get my hands on the OgreMax for max2015, but, spent the whole day, and finally got the tools from
a chinese website. :/

[Sziklamester]

These luxury features are nice but if with modding these can be added then it is not that problem. The animal taming and civilians in your towns would be nice and I really like the idea but if this somehow possible to do later on then it is not bad that it havent.

What I really would like new races, more new maps which improving the continent (hoping for map maker), more type of weapons, bow-xbows, spears, scythers, axes etc.

Hopefully when you guys release the game and it sales good then this could help you a lot to improve the game and add these features. I personally if I could be better at everything would likely to help to add content the game but nor I am programmer nor model maker nor artist / designer so my limitations are there currently but I really would like this game to improve a lot more.

[Hatsune_Neko]

the luxury features require access to the coding to add.

thou others have sued workarounds to have the option. ( Taming and slavery ) but it's still not the same. and some can be buggy at times.

[daethman]

I would buy a second Kenshi, or a Kenshi 1.5 -- it was an admittedly rather ambitious idea to begin with, and while this final product doesn't quite live up to the original vision, I think you've learned a lot in the process and created something truly unique and interesting. I'm quite satisfied with a sandbox where whatever features that do exist operate in relative harmony and decent balance. While I like the idea of enabling various grand strategy scenarios, and allowing folks to take various approaches toward achieving their objectives -- I also like the idea of just farming my dirt patch in relative peace with pretty good fixed defenses and only really having to worry about evading bandits on my way to sell off my produce in town.

[Korth]

hi guys thank's a lot for kenshi i hope for this kind of game since a loooong time <3

i have just one question do u will put one area with snow in the map with specific crops like those of the desert ? my dream is to play kenshi in the mountain with snow !!!

[Hatsune_Neko]

So far there is no snow in the game. But last part of map not released yet.

But from look of thing's from overhead map view i would think it's unlikely at this time.

[hagi2]

I don't know that this things are being postet previously, but I have some ideas, which could make this game more realistic (maybe give difficult level?):
-Give sleep need, which can reduce character stats when not sleep for long time and pass out when reach 0?
- Reduce hunger faster when running and much faster when runnig with full speed, that walking will be more usefull when you don't have any food?
-Also maybe stamina level, when you runnig fast to long and reach 0, character will start to have health problem with chest?
-Usefull water jug and thirst level which be falling down faster in desert biom, slower in swamp biom etc.?

Sounds like just a bunch of more micromanagement and slowing your progress down (get thirsty, get exhausted, walk instead of run when hungry, need for sleep).

No, thank you!

[Hatsune_Neko]

Thirst was originally planned but dropped by the dev for possibly adding to much micromanaging to a feature thats supposed to be low key.

Getting tired from running was also planned but dropped by the dev.

[hagi2]

That's why I suggest about different difficult level (normal, hard). For me this difficules can be great, give much more realism to the game. Now you can run with full speed, making athletics stat too easy for me. Game is great at all but that some things are iritating me. But everybody like something different

[Ocram]

I would suggest preset settings for the sliders in advanced options when you start a new game, and maybe some more settings there (none come up to my mind right now), those presets would be called easy/normal/hard/whatever.

[Hatsune_Neko]

There is already sliders to change how difficult/easy the game is.
You can change chance of death, weapon damage, npc squad sizes and wildlife nest sizes.

[Nesano]

It's sad to see animal taming isn't going to make it into the game because I know you guys would make it require a lot of thought and effort.

So add it, what's the hurry with releasing the game? In my eyes this game has so much more potential and so much room for innovation. And could be so much more instead of another endless sandbox.

[Hatsune_Neko]

Developing a game takes alot of money. So they have a budget they need to stick to.

And since they want to make more games after kenshi. They have to stick to there budget.
