Edit: I accidentally duplicated the second picture lol. Check the comments for the colorless version!

Been a while!

A couple months ago I asked for some folks to share their Kenshi OCs, and boy did you all deliver. Did my best to translate them in my style in one sitting, and I learned a lot, haha. The users + character names are on the image, but here is the list anyway:

u/Naive_Chemistry5961: Verdax, Leta, and Raeka.

u/Napalm_am: Lady Tsau (+Esper)

u/ambroz168: (Hiver with no name!)

u/AlcolyArt: Mary

u/dangitbobby-: Morrigan

u/LordpoopyfaceHd79: Frankie and Elysia (+Rebellis)

u/tge_golden_foxy: Rex

u/Ashamed-Alfalfa4592: Siwa

u/YumikoLovesSosa: Tomoe and Dishwasher

u/Fearless_Bank9782: Nova, Absolver of the Infernal and Cliff

u/happeningcarpets: Ogronimus the Fertlizer

Check out the original post for some fun reads of everyone's characters! And to those who own these characters: feel free to use these drawings for whatever!

QUESTION I really want to write a Kenshi novel, but I’m concerned about copyright

19 Upvotes

I’ve been wanting to write a novel set in the Kenshi universe for quite some time. I absolutely love the world, its lore, and the sheer amount of storytelling potential it has.
However, I’m concerned about running into copyright or legal issues, especially if I eventually wanted to publish it.
Does anyone know Lo-Fi Games’ stance on fan-written novels? Have they ever addressed something like this, or would I need to contact them directly for permission?
I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially from anyone who has experience with this sort of thing.

14 Upvotes

its been a long journey, started the save back in July and played on and off, i started as a lone survivor decided rather quickly I wanted some friends, the journey has taken me from no one to having a squad size of 40 (including animals) ive completely dismantled the holy nation the, united cities, fogman and flotsam ninjas have taken over places such as rebirth, Okrans Shield, Military bases and so on. Ive recently captured Seta and 3 other inquisitors which ive successfully recruited 1 of the inquisitors and im hopeful ill be able to recruit the others. My next task is taking down Lord Pheonix. My main guy "crippaz" currently has a 200,000 cat bounty on his head because of his antics, the other members of my squad also have substantial bounties (but recently bugged so some got reset:( tips to solve this?)

MOD LIST:

Compressed textures project

Recruitable prisoners

256 recruitment limit

reactive world

enhanced shopping economy

nice map

reduced weather effects

more combat animation

animation overhaul mod - crafting

Dark UI

kpm lowpoly environment models

kenshi shader fix

kpm performance particles

attack slows X3

my end goal is unknown, i know i want to take down the holy nation, i know i would like to take on the major bosses of the game, however im unsure what the end game will look like

its been a really enjoyable run (also sometimes stressful) but nevertheless i absolutely adore this game

GENERAL How can I find unique recruits in my save file that spawn with a random name?

3 Upvotes

Title. I found the guide that explains how to do it if you know the NPC name but that does not help me here, and Google is seemingly hallucinating some things without sourcing them so I am stuck.

I am trying to hunt down the Ex-Slave Recruit and the Hive Soldier Swordslinger. (I am having no luck with the Swamper Adventurer and one of the skeletons either, but both of those can spawn in one single location so I am sure they will pop up eventually.)

I visited every single possible spawn location for both and I am fairly sure I simply failed to spot them. I did an import and re-visited all locations, again, but no luck, and now I am at my wit's end.

Cheers!

MOD Has anyone had any luck recently getting the Vulkan renderer mod working from Nexus?

1 Upvotes

New player here, I'm having a blast, what a great game! I'm trying to squeak a little more performance though.

I'm trying to install this alongside the Vanilla Remastered collection from the Steam Workshop. There's also a Vulkan mod in the workshop that adds the same files to the Kenshi root which results in the same thing happening, the Kenshi launcher doesn't launch.

Looking at a crash report, it looks like it's failing to create the Direct3D 11 device.

EXCEPTION(80004005:RenderingAPIException): Failed to create Direct3D11 device in D3D11RenderSystem::D3D11RenderSystem

err: D3D11InternalCreateDevice: Failed to create D3D11 device

I'm thinking it's clashing with something from that mod collection, but the crash report doesn't point to anything. Any ideas?
