Hi there, if you don't want your posts to be looked upon as being spam then it would be a good idea to post a lot more info about what the game is about and who would maybe enjoy it. Just posting along the lines of 'check out this game' and a link is the very essence of what constitutes as spam as you're not posting anything meaningful. I don't mind you posting about a game that is being worked on though if you are directly involved I would have preferred you contact us before posting but regardless at the moment your post is spam and unless you want to see it removed you would do well as to elaborate more about the game itself in your post.

 

Thanks.

your right,,

 

well its a pre alpha game called kenshi i have bought the game at 10 US but there is a demo for those who wanna try the way i would explain the game is it is an open ended sandbox type game with a world of challenges the designer says that your character is not special like other RPG's he must work for that strength northing is given to you here is a nice game design idea he writes

 

Lets say you enter a village, you like the place, its in a handy location for you to rest and resupply, and you use it all the time. Maybe its a good trading route, maybe you own a building or a business there. Now one of the big bandit gangs that wander the world map has visited and done all the scary threats and posturing and said, "we're coming back in 1 week, if you don't have 1000 boxes of rice for us by then we will burn this place to the ground and kill you alive!". Maybe you saw this event, maybe you didn't, either way all the villagers are panicking about it and maybe they have even been hiring mercenaries. So you hear about this and think "damn, if those bandits burn this place that means my favorite village will be gone, and it will mess up my best trading route too, and the price of rice will skyrocket. Oh dear."

 

So then you DECIDE to stand with them to defend the village, you help shore up the defences and maybe gear up some locals, then you have a lovely great big battle 7-samurai style and the bandits flee. You just had a major impact on the state of the game world, you did something because you wanted to and it had a real effect. You saved a village, made the area safer, maybe tipped the balance of power among the bandit clans. If you did nothing the village would have been razed, they wouldn't all have waited around for you to "accept the quest". Now you have to decide if you should pursue the bandits and wipe them out, because thats a real group, they weren't just spawned for the purpose of that one event, they will probably be back for revenge.

 

And what if one of your men got captured during the attack? Now you have to go track down their camp and rescue him. Sneak him out, free him by force, buy him back, or maybe he is skilled enough to escape by himself.

 

 

 

And thats just one example, its the tip of the iceberg. Imagine this occurring in different events all over the world among factions, lawmakers, thieves, guards, kings, nations, traders, armies, zombie hordes etc. Its the holy grail that developers talk about all the time but so far nobody has the balls to try it because quite frankly, its mad, its chaotic and even I don't know what will happen or how well it will work. I am essentially designing a game to be beyond my control.

 

look at my first post and go see why this game is different and special nothing is the same as it. the demo is free and atm it doesnt have many differences but get it and try it.

 

ask questions ill answer then about it or go to the games forum and ask for yourself.

 

i am nonly new to kenshi but am having so much fun in teh pre alpha stage cant wait for it to be in beta or finished but worth $10 now id say so give it a go
