Kenshi: Vanilla – EP1: The Wanderer’s Tale
Welcome to episode one of Kenshi: Vanilla, a story based playthrough with no-mods and no-gimmicks, offering a classic Kenshi experience.
Episode 1: The Wanderer’s Tale. Our wanderer finds himself alone in the Border Zone, in a destroyed town for drifters called The Hub. Having lived a life of constant fear, our wanderer awakens from his hopeless nightmare to discover hope and ambition growing within him. His courage both punishes and rewards him, but he and his hope survive. Friendships are made, a company is formed, and money is earned. Soon, he is not alone, and has found a home. Change is coming…

A quick video essay on Exanima. I give my ideas of content I think would improve the game while ranking it green, amber, and red in terms of difficulty to implement. It’s fun to think about the possibilities, while keeping in mind that the developers are experts in knowing their own game.

      Appreciate the feedback. As Rigsy is alluding to, it’s edited in my usual style. I could make my videos more attention grabbing, including using click-bait and more childish thumbnails, as well fast choppy edits to keep a viewer engaged, but that’s not the kind of videos I make. Of course, CZcams tries to get me to do that, but where is the art in all videos being the same? I also consider that some of my subscribers will not have seen Kenshi, and I want to represent the pace of the game in the video. Particularly for episode one. There was a lot of mining...

    I remember reading a quote a year ago from the lead developer saying that ranged combat is gonna be easy, as it would work the same way as the thaumaturgy power "throw", it would only needs animations, weapons and refinements orf. Though I'm just happy that they are tackling their role system first, as it's the most anticipated and crucial feature

    I have no idea why I never thought about the high priority stockpile to let dogs (haulers) find stuff. Learn something new every day. Thanks! Awesome series. Might have to start tinkering with advanced creation. I usually just reroll until I get (at least) 1 skill over 19 (whatever that is, even artist), and at least 10 in marksmanship, and whatever else the RNG gives us it is. But I can see the mobility in at least one is huge, and random almost never gives it.

    • @KyleMac-um1ve
      @KyleMac-um1ve Před 12 dny

      Glad it was helpful! There have been big updates to the game that might have changed character editing, and the options available. Episode 16 shows East Avon after the new changes. Movement speed and using dogs will still probably be very meta, but characters now have more complex characteristics. I will likely make a new series to cover the new stuff at some point.

    Nice little cave house, you managed to pack a lot of functionality into that small space! At about 21 minutes in, the vent to the outside was making your pantry warmer because caves are by default actually -colder- than the outside temperature. That makes them great for storing food, but harder to keep comfortable as living/working spaces in winter. Something that confuses absolutely everyone: for senior individuals, both animal and human, the age bar counts down rather than filling up. They will pass away when it gets to zero.

    • @KyleMac-um1ve
      @KyleMac-um1ve Před měsícem

      Thank you! Yeah, I built a brick house with a pantry, and notice that it's specifically caves that go cold - hopefully I can chill it with ice. I also noticed that seniors are ageing down, rather than up.

  • @PerfectDeath4
    @PerfectDeath4 Před měsícem

    Having played 38 hrs I've definetly picked up on similar tips: - Cat is great since cutting grass spawns rats but you can mitigate rat problems with good food storage design and traps. I havn't tried it yet but you can tame wild cats and I find they disappear quick by the first year so it could be possible to quick tame cats. - I usually don't need oats within the first year as a food source, hunting and rat traps actually would get me through the winter. - Hot summer days are hard to use the thermal vision to find, but in the winter they pop out super easy. - Dogs are amazing to help hunting, they also hunt rabbit, foxes, and wolves that get too close. Dogs easily feed themselves. - Setting up a freezer inside a mountain by putting ice jugs to store food makes surviving really easy. But that requires surviving that first year. =P - Just keep in mind, larger "freezers" will be harder to keep cool during hot summers, I can usually have a 5x5 space frozen by 2-3 ice jug pallets all year. When I expanded it the 2 ice jug pallets was not enough for the hottest summer days. - The poop holes radiate fertility, so I just would grow a small 3x3 garden around them xD - Year 2 for me ends up getting insane with way too much work load because of farming, gotta throttle myself on expanding, or double down on hiring workers for the growing seasons.

    • @KyleMac-um1ve

  • @artsparadisopracticaleduca4378

    Hello designers for Manor Lords, the game is looking better and the sound effects are really good, more so than the last time that I have seen it about a year or more ago. What I think could make the battle scenes more interesting to look at and improve the overall gaming experience is to have exaggerated physics when the troops charge and hit the defenders. A little bit of flying as if the troops are charged by a bull is what I'm thinking of. When troops are fighting at close range, the exaggerated physics could / should still be used, so that it looks more fun. In many RTS games, when troops are at close range, they just poke at the opponents over and over, and it does not look very interesting, so the fun experience declines very quickly. But by adding attack combos, exaggerated physics, all of this would make every battle scenes look much more fun. Hopefully, all of this shouldn't be too difficult to add to the game nor negatively affect its performance.
