One worry about Kenshi is they are having terrible funding problems. I wouldn't be surprised if this project is scrapped in a year or two without being significantly completed.

I'm not particularly worried about this happening.  It seems like there's pretty good odds of sales increasing significantly once a few more updates are out.  It's an interesting and oft neglected type of game, so I can see a few press outlets giving some great coverage once a few more features are in.

Although that could become a self fulfilling prophecy if enough people suggest it :-\

One of the lucky winners here.

I played around with the game some. It's definitely early in development as the starting village is not populated except for one mob that was walking around that told me to go to the bar. However, I couldn't find the bar.

I do like the graphics. Reminds me some of Mount & Blade but with more control. Once I was comfortable using it (with a more top-down angle for myself), I really saw potential there.

As for the game, I really didn't experience any game per se. Might not know what to do to start the game rolling. But I did see potential.

Game has a bit more than that. You have a bar, shops (weapon, armor, clothing, supplies, etc), as well as a trade center in each town where you can buy low and sell high. Look for the signs outside the buildings. The bar lets you recruit more guys, who start just like your new char when you get them (no skills, crap items) and you can upgrade their stuff. Doesn't seem to be a system in place to make you pay them, they just become your slaves after you hire them (like in a lot of RPGs, hah).

Then outside you can fight roaming groups of bandits.

It's kinda like a really early M&B in terms of just having the ability to recruit a few guys, get some items, and go fight bandits. The combat system isn't fleshed out, though - it just has you click the enemies and watch as your guys fight them, with no special moves or any kind of strategic options other than when to fight and when to run. You can also bandage up people (your own or others) using medkits - stopping bleeding first to keep them from bleeding out and then patching up their wounds to make them start healing. You can do this on people while they're up and about or while they're laying on the sand unconscious.

Friendly npcs aren't programmed to thank you for saving them though (they aren't programmed to be mad at robbing them either - I robbed a group of traders that had been beat down by bandits after finishing off the bandits, then healed them, and they just wandered off naked to the next town).

That thing up there, that's a link to the Kenshi thread :P

Gonna lock this now, there isn't really much point in it being open.  Also, I like locking things.
