Kenshi Mod Spotlight - Project Genesis World Overhaul (Alpha)

hey guys I'm Coco welcome to my new kenchi mod spotlight video today we're taking a look at project Genesis world overhaul mod which is currently in its alpha stage before we begin I'd like to invite you to check out my project genesis playthrough where explore the whole world and attempted to map out all of the new additions with a small crew of stealthy ninjas or check out my new heavily story focus playthrough titled legend of the dark King where my ultimate goal is to conquer the whole world links will be in the description I'd also like to point out that this video will contain spoilers for new locations and it in project Genesis so if you prefer to explore the world at your own pace consider yourself warned now let's begin if you've not heard of project Genesis before let me offer you a brief explanation of what it is trying to accomplish the aim of Genesis is a complete overhaul of the world of Kanchi fusing a great number of existing mods together and using them as a framework to build and expand upon this adds a huge amount of new towns in factions in bounties to pursue the new treasures to find there are also certain factions that will send you out on quests or ask for your help to siege a city the mod team is not just using these separate mods to create a loose conglomerate of content that doesn't really fit together they are working on seamless interactions - via unique features like new events new towns embassies and kingdoms to connect the world into one huge flawlessly working mechanism for instance if you are familiar with big world expansion focused mods like the Avalon Isles or switch mods you will find them seamlessly integrated into Genesis project Genesis is currently in its alpha stage which means any and all features are subject to change it means there's many new features that have not yet fully implemented there are many empty towns and unfinished somes if you decide to play it at the stage you are actively helping the mod team improve it with your feedback for eventual beta release which is coming at some point next year it is bound to more than double the amount of content currently in alpha if you want to try it out head out the genisys official discord channel and download the client I will provide the link to this court in the description the new factions you encountered throughout the world will be equipped with new and different weapons and armor added via the addition of various equipment mods and seamlessly integrated with Ken she's existing and new factions there are also new belt slots cybernetics that modify and improve your character in unique ways but downside is there currently quite overpowered starting a new game via the classic wonder can she start you will find yourself in a transformed hub the streets are filled with market tents and people selling goods which is in fact a feature that has been added to all of the major locations there's also a new faction of crimson rogues that made their home here and if you're willing they'll send you all across the world on assassination missions not unlike the more Achtung in the good old test3 morrowind in the bar she might encounter skeleton pirates from the distant southeast or a wandering monk of the mysterious so hey the landscape around the hub has also changed quite significantly there are new major towns of Aran Haven and vanes pass occupies the teaching spots would give you plenty of opportunities to make cats recruit unique characters and get your early game to a good start the holy nation lands to the north eras full of racists as ever but all of their small farmers have now been expanded in the proper Hamlet's each with their own unique name the shack to the west are still warrior-like but they ended up settling ranges where they raised battle balls because of course no shank should eat meat from an animal that never tasted victory in combat to the south the swamps are still infested with swarms of deadly Red Menace and the gangs still love fighting each other over the smallest insults but their capital of shark has been greatly expanded with additional buildings defenses and quest goals east of the swamps lies Shem this region is almost at the center of the world yet in vanilla kenchi it's home only to a small nomad village starving bandits and big things project Genesis completely overhauls the area with multiple major towns and smaller villages built with beautiful white Japanese looking walls and buildings alas the overhaul is not quite complete in alpha yet and while you can visit the towns and wander the streets they are all empty new embassies and factions will inhabit these beautiful cities when project Genesis produces the beta update another not quite finished region lies southwest of the swamps the grid is going through a major overhaul with a workshop complex becoming a proper City protruding from the alien-looking spires the swamp entrance now sports a wall and a man gate but the skeletons guarding it are not hostile at the moment the complexity itself is still empty right now although the buildings are all in place quite like in Sham leaving the grid and pushing further to the southwest you'll find yourself in a completely overhauled shun the region is now home to the kingdom of Aurora which boasts multiple cities and farms and it's great source of ancient recipes and books alas it has recently come under the attack of the bug cultists pushing their borders from the nasty Eric or bug master rules supreme now shun is overrun by spiders of all kinds and shapes so much nastier than what you could see in vanilla Kenshin they have destroyed all but three of the auroral cities and are a constant threat to those last bastions of humanity in the West this makes shun an extremely dangerous region to explore but it can be very rewarding for seasoned veterans one can also settle in our own cities and help them combat the bug - making it a region you could spend a lot of time in instead of just one single trip through ancient libraries that exists there in vanilla can she leaving shun and heading south you'll find a fully transformed hook if you are familiar with swish mods you will recognize the situation but for those who have not experienced yet the region of hook is now home to the kingdom and the Gillis trade union recently an all-out war has broken out between the two factions and the whole region is on fire if you're a scavenger type player you could get plenty of opportunities to loot the battlefield while no one is looking and make a lot of cat selling weapons and armor or you could sight with one of the nations and try to overtake the other there are new cities the important NPCs and a whole battle zone to explore and exploit going east there is a spit of coast leading towards the Ashland's called cheaters run in vanilla Kenshin this region is home to wandering metal spiders and other nasty surprises but in project Genesis the region has been fully rebuilt and populated by the hydraulic Knights those are skeletons wearing ancient samurai armor living in the old towns and outpost of guard against the madness of the southern hive their strategic position makes for a unique starting point for adventurers heading to the Ashland's offering a great way for them to exploit the most dangerous regions of kenchi while still having a safe haven to fall back if things go awry but say you don't want to go to Ashland's so instead you go visit the south eastern coast of kenchi a place where only crabs and fish men used to roam not anymore the whole region has been taken over by various pirate clans again via one of the swish moths making the place extremely lively and varied there are many new factions vying for control of the area inside of it one of them will soon get you embroiled in a civil war there are huge amounts of flavor text role players can enjoy and even more towns outposts and way stations that can change hands from one faction to another put a bit of a nudge from the player and rum plenty of rum heading north one can take a short swim to the Avalon Isles another standalone mod that has been incorporated into project Genesis these islands are the home of the famous cross the maker of all major weapons in Kanchi luckily he needs help dealing with some rogue elements that took over half of his giant city and he has plenty of fresh new matey weapons to back his claim currently in alpha his stores are not quite well defended so a smart thief could run away with a backpack full of the best quality weapons but luckily that is going to change with the beta release the creatures and NPCs populating the islands are otherwise quite strong and work well as an additional endgame zone if you leave the Isles north towards the great desert you will find yourself in howlers maze all I'm gonna say about that region is run away and run as fast as possible it might not be enough there are plenty more small additions to the world as a whole aiming to fill out the empty spots on the map you can clearly see there has been a lot of hard work and love poured into project Genesis and the theme of mothers working on it deserve every praise I've been blown away with the amount of content there is already in just the alpha release and I can't wait to explore the whole world again when beta goes live that's all I have prepared for today I hope I gave you a good idea of what project Genesis is trying to accomplish I have a feeling it has a great and bright future ahead and it might end up being demos to play until kenchi 2 is released and potentially even have an influence on mechanics in Kanchi 2 through sieges and other unique features in any case I hope you enjoyed this video and if you have an opinion on Kenji or project Genesis don't be afraid to speak up in the comment section below I'd love to hear what the can she come he thinks about this one if you are new to the channel and you thought this video was good feel free to check out my current kimchi playthroughs and come say hi on discord we have a really cool and chill out community where we mainly talk about games and gaming and you can also share stories of your own adventures in Kanchi if you're an existing subscriber and you haven't turned on channel notifications yet consider clicking that bell to get notified every time when a new kimchi episode goes live it helps a lot but for now thank you everyone for watching and I'll see you next time [Music]
