Hi everyone!

For the past few weeks/months we've been working on KRP (Kenshi Roleplay) — a multiplayer framework and RP server built on top of Kenshi.

This isn't traditional 2-player co-op or save synchronization. The goal is a persistent server-authoritative world, where Kenshi handles the visuals, characters, animations, movement and atmosphere, while the server controls the multiplayer state and gameplay systems.

At this point we already have a working foundation:

• multiple players connecting to the same world;
• remote player spawning/despawning and movement synchronization;
• animation synchronization;
• multiplayer combat synchronization;
• server-authoritative damage and Kenshi's limb/medical state;
• reconnect/state restoration;
• synchronized world time;
• server-controlled NPCs and interactions/dialogues;
• persistent accounts/characters foundation;
• custom UI/WebUI infrastructure;
• server-side identity and player IDs.

We're currently finishing the first actual RP gameplay layer: custom inventory, resources/mining, jobs, economy and more server-controlled NPC functionality.

The first Closed Alpha won't be a huge content-complete server. The goal is to get a small group of players into the same world, actually play together, break things, find desync/crashes and help us determine what needs to be fixed before expanding the gameplay.

We're looking for testers

You don't need development experience.

We're especially interested in people who:

• already play and understand Kenshi;
• can test for an hour or two and report what went wrong;
• don't mind crashes/bugs during an early alpha;
• are interested in RP or a persistent multiplayer Kenshi world;
• can record clips/screenshots when something breaks.

We're initially aiming for a small closed group, probably around 10–30 testers, rather than opening the server publicly immediately.

The project currently targets Steam Kenshi 1.0.68.

If you're interested, leave a comment or DM me. I'll post the Discord/invite and alpha details once the current build is ready for the first external test.

I'll also share some gameplay/video progress soon.
