Kenshi - Meet the Makers

50% bigger, but what % denser?

Kenshi 1 was pretty slop and mid, every city was the same, no real roleplay, no interactivity and nothing beside becoming stronger and killing increasingly stronger enemies.

Unreal engine doesnt give high hopes esp as of late

test

huge blm banner at the start otherwise its a refund

he kinda talks about this, but he does not elaborate or show anything else for kenshi 2

no wonder she settled for niggers

did they expand the team? kenshi 1 wasnt a finished game, they just stopped working on it

yep

file.png - 1393x729, 908.15K

no interactivity

This is what ruins Kenshi for me. Like everything is in place...then he forgets to add gameplay to the game. Where are the fucking martial arts schools? The hidden masters to learn techniques from? The ability to run your own dojo and develop styles and so on. There's just so much neat shit that could have been done.

He's handsome I'd suck his dick

They better not use the default Unreal pipeline

How many years has it been with zero info?

this guy looks like the guy from the game you guys are memeing

he can't imagine an apple

learned how to program from a book

learned how to make graphics and sound from a book

learned how to cure repetitive strain injuries from a book

oh no gptbros what do we do

Everywhere I go, I see his face...

Most straight post on v right now

youtu.be/NNBMGkzi51g

OMFG FINALLY 8.8 August 8th
3 MORE MONTHS

its not coming out because the bitch embezzled all the money on blm donations

great I can't wait to play the leave the game on for 48 hours punching a dummy simulator again

QRD?

is that...

Feels like they are struggling with founding, in the last part the girl looks so sad.

I didn't know Verso developed Kenshi, that's pretty cool.

what, the devs are aussies??

woman on dev team

abandon all hope.. this means the game will fail

Isn't that his sister?

Looks like a 90% black people in the desert simulator, also the graphics look like shit, like bad ps2 game shit.

you all are hiveless GET OUT

Unless she married and took her husbands surname, no, his name is Chris Hunt, her name is Natalie Mikkelson (which is danish btw)

made in UE5

An improvement over the jank Kenshi curently runs on.

stfu man, he literally says it's his sister in the video. surprised a woman can get married and change her surname hurr durr

Kenshi is the best RPG ever made, and maybe the best videogame of all time.
No other game lets you fuck up the world and other factions as hard.

Does it have actual graphics this time and not just endless sand and rust?

I'm making the game for me

Based autist dev. I expect Kenshi 2 to turn out great.

In this day and age, yeah, but you are correct, it is his sister.

Transgender on the right.

Yeah, no, this game is discord tranny tier now.

Kenshi 2 will release before Tamriel Rebuilt finished Almalexia

A+B

She's so smart!

file.png - 757x531, 258.57K

ok but why is she there if shes not a dev?

every city was the same, no real roleplay,

I have to disagree with you there. While you are right that Kenshi could have done more, there are clear differences in culture between Holy Nation, United Cities, Shek, and Swamp territories.

She's the main writer, IIRC

Just like how you're on Anon Babble but you don't play video games

ofc a woman is the writer, god forbid they have to do any real work

shut the fuck up faggot

Bro, that's just what aussie women look like

Kenshi 1 is my favourite game of all time, I really hope this isnt shit due to all the new devs theyve taken on. Kenshi gave me hope that there are still autists out there that make games specific to my own tastes.

UE5 might be a blessing and a curse, its easily moddable and configured meaning mods will go farther and we might actually get overhauls this time where we can get this gameplay into any other world setting, but on the other hand, UE5 is infamously shit for performance, meaning they might actually have to compromise on some stuff just to get it to run ok.

5+ years and nothing to show for it.

file.png - 1200x622, 219.06K

they are bongs, not aussies

Because she is the sister of the main developer, so he gave her the job of being game writer, because she was like 'bro, can I like be a game writer ?'

did you watch the video?
they explain it very clearly

oof
yikes
good thing I didn't pay for it

why the fuck would i watch this shit??

Why doesn't he have a giant schnozz like her

jank is soul
UE5 is slop

he fucks that

What a fucking CHAD

Spoken like a real 4-5

This nigga could be my brother

his jacket looks like a thin cosplay version of ryan gosling's in bladerunner 2049

They're shadow dropping this year

One of the most overrated games ever. Reddit loves it for some reason. It's like Dwarf Fortress, it just seems complex but no-one has actual fun with it.

lol why is this guy wearing the Ryan Gosling coat?

I always thought he was American. But I literally have no clue where his accent is from. Autism British?
Literally filtered

One can have more fun with Dwarf Fortress thoughbeit and with the tileset it will not filter out zoomers who can't into ascii graphics because they have aphantasia.

Translation: The game will run 300% worse.

Things I'd want:
-Actual slavery (most important why wasn't this in 1?!)
-Faction interactions
-Self made faction development
-Better ranged weapons
-Better placement in base building
-Moods
-Comradery, opinions and relationships
-Allow players to make their own legendary stuff
-Water
-Mining

I know this list is long but the first Kenshi was fun until you accidently stumble upon endgame and it's already over.

DF is complex, but in the wrong areas that add nothing to gameplay
Kenshi, theres nothing complex, its just a stat grind, and the map is very big i guess.

file.png - 856x1235, 224.25K

Why does she look like she gives the best footjobs bros?

Actual slavery

His BLM propaganda pushing sister is the writer for the game, dream on

You either get it and it fills a hole no other game fills, or you dont get it and you wonder why people even like it let alone love it.

It seems like it would fit my autism, but it just doesn't. The hype vs reality reminds me of something like Skyrim.

What an autismo fest also that blonde dude is cute

Again, you either get it or you dont, its fine, if youre the kind of person that can play in a sandbox its perfect, I only wish it was capable of overhauls so I could just fuck around in other worlds however I want.

last playthrough I sided with HN and decided to take every enemy they have, use only the technology they use, and only humans

major factions are constantly coming to by home, so I have to start recruiting and training lots of people as well as outfitting them, some peoples jobs is literally just to haul things to boxes for convenience as there is now over 120 people in my faction, and since they are low tech it means large farms that have to make simple food

the constant war meant having to lose limbs, got sick of having to relegate people to uselessness, so I equip the limbless with mechanical limbs and outcast them to a post in the foglands where they are to remain

they end up being my strongest fighters due to constant fights there, I apply autism and even give them their own uniforms which are just black HN armour instead of white

start building my own army to fight UC, which involves making a supply train along a route into the desert with camps to stop at and places for the injured to heal

havent even begun to approach the shek and other factions, but they still send raids to my base, and since Im sided with HN, they send small armies to my base to help defend it

The fun is diagetic, the most straightforward way to have fun is to pick a faction and play as them, which means taking on their enemies even if it means losing a fight.

NTA but for me, it's a sense of adventure, progress and overcoming that I love. The world is beautiful. Don't get me wrong, Kenshi has a LOT of problems. Mods fix some but certainly all. That said, it's greater than the sum of its parts and is a pretty magical time if it clicks

normies don't understand kenshi because they don't understand true freedom and sandbox gameplay. they need to be ruled over and guidede and told what to do or their life makes no sense and has no purpose.

16x the detail of kenshi 1

30 people

so.. it's going to be just as unfinished :(

Ah yeah, true freedom of leveling the skill for a week, can't believe it filters anyone.

You need a game in there somewhere.

This guy looks like Verso.

they will release it in to EA when they run out of money. Surprised they could pay 30 people for 5 years to begin with.

this post is going to attract a lot of people who don't understand because they DID have breakfast this morning.

Anon Babble is now contrarian about Kenshi for (You)s

Wow, good job guys, this is exactly the kind of content this board needs.

I really hope we have more options for underwater stuff

everyone wants to be like me

Imagine getting pussywhipped by your own sister.

Looks handsome. I would trust him with the game.

Do you think they will add quests and storylines with objectives to appeal to retards whos brain breaks when they dont see an arrow to leads them to talk to an NPC who tells you to bandits in a cave?

that taboo pussy just hits different

GUESS WHAT

stop posting these freemason goons

How would you feel If you didn't have breakfest?

no the game is just unfinished design wise and its up you to fix it

Okay modders, compared to the dogshit engine the kenshi 1 runs on, how much better will the sex mods be for kenshi 2 considering its running on UE5?

She looks unconventionally attractive

UE5

mods

Anon, I...

You also likely find linoleum unconventionally attractive

I hope for quests because Kenshi have fuckall to increase relationship with factions beside bounty hunting, and it's fucking boring.

UE5 is extremely moddable.

how do i finally get into kenshi

I hope he adds more of those bait quests where they pretend to give you generic fetch quest to find some shitdinkle and when you accept everyone starts laughing at you and ruin your reputation forever as a local village retard.

Holy shit I'm buying Waingro's game

you have to be able to create goals for yourself. if you can't do that you'll never get into it.

white people are such faggots lmao

Hardest mods you can find, rock bottom start or modded rock bottom to be even harder. You will have nothing and you will be happy.

capitalist says *current thing* to increase capital

You are obviously not white if you are too retarded to understand this. What did capitalists say during nazi rule in germany? Exactly.

It's a good looking coat. Hell, I'd wear it, and I haven't even watched Blade Runner 2050.

You were great in Barbie.

At Lo-Fi we've decided to take a short break from social media, blogs and announcements...

Fair, reasonable.

...as not to distract from important global issues.

Excuse me? The first part is usually done to avoid the second part.

#BlackLivesMatter

Oh, this explains it.

What is the hole in question?

What do you do in Kenshi?

it's kinda unfair that he's both making good games that he loves to make and he's also that handsome

she

i thought this was the mocap actor for gustab in exp 33

They need to remove stealth from kenshi 2, why make a limb based combat system with all the crazy training mechanics and then nullify it completely?

we dont talk about that

get your glasses lads!

Survive.

She was the writer for the first one too and there's plenty of slavery in it

dude looks like he's about to escape New York. is he the real life snake?

He has sanpaku eyes. This game is getting out in 20 years. Don't trust him

the game didn't tell me to play a role so I didn't play any

Skill issue

Did kenshi even make enough money for a sequel? Is this guy rich or just piling up debt?

Struck gold with Kenshi sales-wise but now he's expanded his studio bigly so if he doesn't release "soon" and it's not a success he's in for a rough patch.

80k reviews gives an estimate 3.5M copies sold

yea, the guy has money

who are you talking to?

this is where it all went

No pony though, so at least that

nigga high af

UE5

IT'S OVER

You just need a creative mind. If you don't enjoy roleplay, you mentally cannot enjoy Kenshi.

Yes, you have to create the game and story in your mind.

she cute
i would fuck her

I swear most of you dont fucking know how women looks like
she's the most average european looking woman ever

her dick is bigger than yours

good thing I don't live in Europe. she looks like an ugly man

me playing ai dungeon and having a great time

Post a picture of your mom
I bet she looks like a fucking man

i wonna suck natalie’s cock… no homo

my mother is extremely beautiful you'd shit your pants, eurotrash.

ok now you HAVE to post a feet pic

ew dude. you're worse than being gay

she does, however

I thought kenshi was niche, I hope sseth got his cut.

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like a chad? I wish I looked like that.

If I wanted to daydream I'd just do that instead of buying a fucking video game with nothing to do in it.

buying?

Literal NPC responses

You try to survive. You get beat up, taken by slavers, eaten by wild dogs, lose some limbs, be part of the Holy Order, all sorts.
It truly is a game where you can roll with what happens to your character 90% of the time. If they aren't eaten by cannibals or something then there's the chance they'll get back on their feet and can try again.

Chris is a real human bean

he kinda looks like your average serial killer

lil sis manages the business end because Chris is too much of an autist to deal with people

been doing it for a decade now so you can't throw her out without some screeching involved

Keeping your company in the family is one way to stop outsiders from taking control of the wheel for the most part.

Is this game any good?

It's not a fucking wuxia game dude. If you want cultivation Kenshi play Matchless Kungfu.

You basically just grind for endless hours

Find enemy that stronger than you and just fight him endlessly

Find a resource and just endlessly mine it for money

Wonder around (there's no actual point to wondering)

Somehow the holy order knows where your shack is in the middle of nowhere

The game is anti-immersive and unfun

Only if you have the power of imagination.

How much did they make off Kenshi 1?

mods have done 85% of this with some caveats

Slavery still relies on the user to play pretend along with keeping them separate from your main party. You can still work them down to the bone and grind their remains up to feed the rest because the game doesn't track psychology.

That depends on how much you enjoy making goals of your own in games that don't directly give you any.

Is this true? I would’ve just retired and not bothered with a sequel.

IMG_3470.jpg - 1242x1717, 553.07K

Nation building with a personal touch.

they have 8 million britbong dollars on the bank and the number is still growing year after year
theres uk public files that show that

He said he's making the sequel for himself, and honestly he seems autistic enough that I believe him.

All that to impress her and she'll still just fuck Chad

Not a single mod has done factions right.

just over 10 mill for a man and his sister

Not a bad take considering the time it took to actually get there.

How long did it take exactly?

5-7 Years iirc

How do you see those numbers? I’m always trying to see how much indies make

if I can find a decent ass mod i'm onboard

Ah thanks anon

Going by one doco 9 - 11 years from concept to now. He did a kikestarter in the early days that flopped out the gate with less than $3k. He also got some helping hands along the way with the lighting system along with rigging and modeling for some of the creatures like the leviathan. Looking at his takings I don't think he needs to worry about that aspect anymore so long as he stays below 40 people.

your best bet is checking public filings from their companies like

I was worried his sister was some Stacey but she seems as autistic as him. I think we're back

UE5 is infamously shit for performance, meaning they might actually have to compromise on some stuff just to get it to run ok.

This is going to be the real deal once the toasterfags start watching their potatoes light up in real time just from loading in.

Just because its ue5 doesnt mean they will do photorealism with 10 trillion polygons rendered at a time

"I don't have any education in game development or anything"

Really? He made a horribly optimized open world that's completely empty and devoid of anything to do and he didn't have any game dev experience? I couldn't tell.

They look super young how old are they

I don't know but she's probably 25-30 I guess

Chris is an eternal boomer so Nat should be just under that.

every single reply to this is cope, Kenshi is objectively a middling empty game with very little to do. You can make an outpost and treat it like a colony survival game, but that get's boring once you get decent walls and harpoons.

writer

kenshi

there's maybe 15 lines of text in the whole game, are you joking?

spend a decade making an empty world devoid of anything to do

spend 5 more years after the initial announcement of the sequel with 30 employees and you still can't put out a sequel

but you can virtue signal on twitter

fuck kenshi and fuck these devs.

Not sure what this means

yeah god forbid they don't let you pull the camera out a kilometer into the sky and zoom in to the characters little toe, that would be such a loss in exchange for performing well on a normal computer while still looking like shit

This dude really plays Kenshi like it's a 9-5 lmao. Please learn how to have a good imagination.

you should imagine playing a better game

wtf Snake Plissken?!

Such as?

who did the overall worldbuilding for kenshi? not random line-to-line shit but the overall initial design?

while the game is as polished as a turd, it has its great moments, and all the major factions being different flavors of retarded is a strong point. I think i can guess who came up with shit like "the super cool badass secret flotsam anti slaver amazing superhero ninjas", but I'm wondering about the bigger pieces in rest of the world

Chris Hunt.

nat

Don't you have an imagination?

aaand they just guaranteed they will never get a penny from me

Touché, I did actually want a recommendation from someone with differing opinions.

That's what roleplaying is, correct. If you don't have a creative mind, you cannot roleplay in a sandbox. Did you never make up your own little scenarios playing battlefront 2 as a kid? Or did you beeline it to each objective until the game ended?

2 is gonna be so valid sisters. <3

Okay, I'll give you one
FFXI easily 10,000 hours of things to do way more autistically than Kenshi. You can use your imagination and exploration is meaningful.

Damn I clicked on the thread thinking this was Gustave actor lol

In BF2 the actual gameplay is fun.

Narrative is becoming easier and easier as the years go by. The most difficult part was over with years ago – that’s the foundations; world building, fleshing, map, general plans for content, working structure. That part is super hard and horrible, makes me want to vomit. The last couple of years have been refining, refining, refining. Content’s been flowing easy now. This is the most fun part of narrative design where the game starts to make itself and everything comes together. We’ve also had a few new features added for us over the years which means our toolkit lends us all the more creativity to push boundaries with.

MMO huh, I've tried a few but have always bounced off, thank you for actually recommending something.

Play Kenshi

Build a swordsmith and a couple pals to make money

Buildup and defend a base, crafting better weapons and building better defenses.

Cap tech, move base to (((Shem)))

Create a strike team of elite blackskinned nigs to rob libraries and ancient factories for books and cores

Max tech trees, craft the best shit, literally start throwing away elite weaponry because I have infinity dollars, food, etc

Get bored

Kenshi is kino for like 15 hours before every game you play gets to endgame and everything becomes gay and pointless

Only 15 hours to do all that, in one playthrough?

The library really breaks the game. I wish it didn't exist. Yeah I know I don't HAVE to rob it every few days but knowing that I have the option completely removes any feelings of resource scarcity. At least drug running forces you to deal with beak things. The library is just infinite cash with no risk. I realise after typing this you were speaking of lost libraries and not The Great Library but whatever.

Thanks man

Stop replying to yourself

No
