Kenshi 2 Announced

[IblisBane]

Damn...only just discovered Kenshi (and loving it) with about 30-40 hours in, and now discover there's a new one in the works?

Awesome.

Great game, thanks.

Hi, I enjoy modding your game immensely. I'm wondering if you will be using the FCS again? I imagine Kenshi 2 will be stand alone from Kenshi 1, what are some of the main features that will be touched or overhauled?

Beep:Am i still here?

As long as you are still fixing Kenshi along the way, there is some serious Optimization problems with the game, only way I can play a stable game is if I play it in Offline Mode. But doing so switches off Mods from the Workshop.

Please Optimize and fix the crashes.. For a game that puts features ahead of graphics, the Video Memory leaks too quickly triggering crashes in my game.

Apart from that, i'm having great fun. Mods only make the game more addictive.
Kenshi 2 is as good as on my wishlist. Keep supporting Kenshi 1 and you can take my money.

[Spankahontis]

Keep the fantastic work.

Don't forget the most important thing about this games.

Randomness!
If the game generates a new adventure every time you play it. Kinda like Rimworld does... the game never gets old, you can always come back and play more and with the help of mods it lives and tells new stories pretty much forever.

In the future, consider the possibility of co-op game, this game would be 100 times better if you could enjoy it with 1 to 3 more friends and a lot better if you could do it with more in a private server or something.

Anyway thank you for the fantastic game i have being enjoying it a lot.

Dude randomness isnt good. Playing diffirent game from everyone else makes your progress worthless. exp "

+Dude i conquered uwu wewewe on yeten wewe ugmewuhveme osas city in kenshi

-Wut ? which city ?

There are many other ways to bring out Procedural Generation that doesn't change the lore of the landscape.

X4:Foundation for example have Wars waging between neighbouring Factions to which you can join a side or profit from both by building factories and selling weapons to both sides.
You don't even have to war in it, you can be a trader, a Bounty Hunter, etc. and the Universe behaviour is random.
A Faction might lose territory to another, some big event might effect the Economy making you a ton of money if you take advantage.
All without Star Systems changing names or "uwu wewewe on yeten wewe ugmewuhveme osas city".

But it would be nice to have established Capital Cities that serve as hubs for a random generated Squad to travel afar and establish their own small settlement; to which it's future can be totally random.
They either thrive (Giving you new options to Trade), the more successful? The larger the settlement grows.
Or you could play the role as the Horde Leader/The Bandit and Raid the village stealing their wealth, their food and making slaves of the conquered still alive.
Or you could see them as a rival and burn their village to the ground or even conquer them and make them a Fiefdom, if you're building an empire of your own, you can make them your vassal.

A Living/breathing Kenshi would be quite the achievement.

And just to think I just hit over 400+ hours in kenshi.. rip my social life lol

[rrory]

oh thank god no more beak things

[Hatsune_Neko]

its now on the Unreal 4 Engine.

[severato]

I just hope that there will be new characters and also new animals and plants.

[xrumblingcdsx]

Has a feature list been put together for Kenshi 2? If not, at what point would we see this list?

What are the chances that we get a terrain editor in Kenshi 2? I think it's one of the biggest missed opportunities with Kenshi 1.

[Hatsune_Neko]

no list has been shown, and we got no idea when they plan to show it off.

[Ruckus]

Thank you for everything you have done and will do with this beautiful game. I dedicate to the Kenshi as if it was a creed, bless you all.

[Banlish]

oh thank god no more beak things

Beak thing precursors! \o/

Just imagine if you will.

Current Beak things are the 'lesser' version of whatever came 1,000 years ago. Which is why robotics were so prevalent, to STOP those precursors.

.......

Yeah..... I went there.

I just dropped over $1k on PC upgrades largely because of this game. 3900x build with 32g of ram because I was maxing out system resources/Ogre because I have 2 bases and 5 roaming parties at all times. I believe I have close 150 total party members split across my squads. The only time I crash is if I'm impatient and start immediately hopping around between squads across the map after loading in. I'm also running about 20 or so mods.

Now, I'm not a fan boy, as I find the accompanying cognitive bias associated with fanboys to be quite irritating, but I really do appreciate your dev team. There has been at least 4 Early Access survival games I've purchased in the last 18 months,(that even trended!) that were pretty much dropped by their dev teams. You guys will genuinely upgrade kenshi to Ogre 2.0 and continue to roll out fixes WHILE developing kenshi 2. I respect that enormously. You will always have my dollar with that kind of integrity, and I will recommend others to bring theirs as well. Some of the people in this thread seem to have very narrow perspectives...

I am very much excited about kenshi 2, and the kenshi updates.

Maybe dedicated server support? or just multiplayer? People have been asking for years. If people don't like multiplayer they don't have to play it, but people do like it....well you'd only make them happier. I'd buy several more copies for friends.

[Hatsune_Neko]

there are no plans to add MP in any form for K2

[Set]

Will it have boats like in the concept art of Kenshi? if the answer is yes...will they have some turret placements? customizable interiors (placing beds, storage for weapons, food and other things, tables, benches...)?

What about pack beasts? Will they be rideable?

Is there a discord channel or another way to connect with the developers to follow progress on the development of this? I have only been playing this game for a month and I have never been pulled into something like this. This game is pure genius! Thank you for the time and effort it took to make this game happen. I can't even express how excited I got when I found out there is going to be a second game!
