Stabbing annimations? Spears Polearms, Shields maybe?

[qgmo2009]

Are there gona be any annimations for stabbing attacks, it seems very strange that there are no spear weapons in the game as the spear is probably the most common weapon ever. it makes little sence that there are no in the game. also if there are gona be portable crosbows, do we get shields if enemies use them or do we just rely on armour? besides its kind of strange how we can only use polearms for slashing attacks.

No shields. (Somthing about shields being for wimps/cowereds)
Likely new animations for weapons will come last(or after release), as it works now and everything else is more important.

the world of kenshi is strange, so dont be suprised if it not uses typical *RL history based* mechanics

[qgmo2009]

well the game needs some sort of stabbing animation its wird how ther is only blunt and slash but no pierce, which should be more usefull against armour, but i supose it might come in the future. i cant wait for spears or pikes, myabe have them do very little damage but offer very good defenseive bonuses like knockback and reach.

Spears, knives, stabby swords... ah, be still my heart. I'd love it.

But.

Animation is... long, expensive, difficult, and whatnot. Could you mod it in? Sure, it appears the framework is there. But I didn't see it on the list of planned/luxury features last I checked, so it's probably not likely.

For the proposed "Kenshi 1.5" or sequel with new, totally awesome gameplay that I've heard mumblings about? Possible. We'll see.

Yea, shields would be neat but may lead to overly defensive play from both players and NPCs, imagine having even more block or block angles on already strong npcs, fights would simply never come to an end.

As for animations, I highly doubt we'll get a whole lot more animations, it's my hope that a talented modder will one day add a lot of new animations and redo a lot of the current ones, just for the sake of change, the current ones are just fine as they are, but I can't help but be ever so slightly disappointed when every weapons are swung basically the same except for the katana's special 1-2, which, imo, every weapon type should have their own signature move.

Does anyone know what formats the game uses for animations or anything? I don't have animation experience myself but my sibling was the one behind the Fallout 3 Re-animated mod and if it's easy to do so he may. Trying to get him in the game and hooked now even though he has vastly less time to play games then he did almost a decade ago, haha then again I have a lot less time as well.

there is the game edditor but im not sure if thats used to make mods or animations. should probably ask the devs or one of the admins here cuase ive no idea

Animations i think are handled in a 3d rendering program and baked to the object.
Now i could be very wrong in that.
But also unsure if new animation's can be added at this time.

can you ask the devs?

You already did by making this topic.
If they have information they will post it.
