Meh, put in the 10 dollars, the fact that it pays for the game and updates down the line just like Unreal World is the clincher.

[klingon13524]

This sounds amazing. It's exactly what I want in a game!

Edit: I was actually hoping for a free rougelike. Nevermind.

[Aklyon]

a free roguelike.

There are a ton of those, you don't need to hope for one.

[JamesCorella]

the idea of this game is pretty cool,is there an other games like this?

Mount & Blade is similar-ish and more complete, but it's also had more development time put in and is more feature complete.

[mendonca]

Downloaded the demo, ran nice and smoothly. Threw in my £6.49 immediately.

I'm interested to see where the development is going to go from here in the short term. I had quite a lot of fun with this over the weekend, getting people killed, doing some trading and wandering about the desert.

Interestingly not doing a lot of killing myself ...

My main source of income is robbing the corpses that are littered about the place, which also seem to be the best source of equipment. Although I got enough cash together to do some lucrative trade runs, Luxury Goods from Sol 'Brink' to Barnard's Star 'Traders Something-or-other' was netting me a huge return.

I coped okay with the UI, but there are a few glitches at the moment.

Hopefully the game will move forward from here quite quickly, but ultimately I bought in to this to support the long term goals, which I am excited about.

Chris had a voting topic on the forum. Even though Multi-Threading won, he decided it would be a better idea to get more features in before he worries about being able to support huge armies and such.

The line he's on right now, basically once he completes one thing will allow him to work on the next:

Sleeping + healing -> leading to carrying your wounded -> leading to buying buildings -> research + crafting

Actually, the best loot I think can only be bought from stores at the moment. Edge Walkers tend to have the best cutting weapons, while Rags have the best blunt weapons and armor. Chris has said that in the future you will only be able to get the best equipment by crafting them yourself.

Here's the other stuff that was on the voting list:

• Simple jobs + missions, dialogue
• Add endurance and fitness elements (easy)
• More factions and enemies, variety and intelligence
• Multi-threading (means that performance will skyrocket and we can have whole armies running around) (big job)

Does anyone know other games like this? and i have mount and blade

Uhhh... uhhh... uhhh... uhhh... uhhh...


... Adventure mode?

[jester]

Mount and blade with mods?  it really depends on what you mean by other games like this.  If you mean freeroaming open world type stuff there isnt really much with graphics if you dont want to play something like skyrim (or other rpg).  Ditto to squad based melee fighters.  Frankly I think this kind of sandbox thing is an unfilled niche in the gaming world big enough to drive trucks though

[dennislp3]

I think its less unfilled and more poorly done...its hard to do right though without creating massive boredom to repetition

[Catastrophic lolcats]

At first I put off by this mainly due to the Eastern themes, I thought it was going to be one of those terrible "Western Samurai Movie" kinda deals. However this has it's own unique little theme going on (Samurai Punk?).

I was drawn straight in after the trailer, it was the animations, they were just so great to watch. The parts where they're casually walking around town like they own it and the way they would sprint into battle swords drawn, glorious.

I would have to fully agree with you here. Although Mount and Blade has shown that although it can be rather repetitive and boring at times nothing draws people back like solid combat.

EDIT: How has everyone been buying this? Directly off the site or on Desura? Which one would promise me better services in the future? Thanks.

[Nilum]

I bought it right off the site, partly because when I bought it, it wasn't available on Desura, and partly because that way more of the money goes to the developer (right?). No idea about the 'better services in the future' bit -- there's no multiplayer or anything, unlocks via registration key, and updates itself. I don't see any advantages to buying on Desura.

[Catastrophic lolcats]

I was talking more about download availability now and the future. I guess I couldn't have worded that worse.

[Zangi]

As long as there is progress, it'll probably be available direct.

Desura, will probably have it for awhile if work on Kenshi stops, but if it closes down...  it may become available direct, depending if such an arrangement(list of Kenshi buyers) can be made in the 'chaos of closing down'.
