Thursday Update (One Day Early)

[Despair]

I think the tech bit at the base of the claw has both life support and propulsion.

Lordmaster of Darkness and Navel, may I ask one question?

If your game sells like crazy and everyone around the world plays it for all eternity, may you consider creating an artbook with all these progress pictures, wallpapers, designs etc?

 

[Alan Jones]

This makes any previous attempts at making the character avatars and the foe totally obsolete. The detail you all are going for is far beyond the possibility of most dev's. Your awesome and I really can't wait to see this live (beta is fine as well hint hint)

I'm gonna so kill off some sh*t in Em3er.

 

[Noxcure]

Looking amazing! Love it.

 

[Pandagnome]

1) Tsi-hu looks like a metallic alien sonic the hedgehog with a reverse raptor claw toe

2) humans look nice though but the hands look quite big but you know what they say about big hands
......big mechs!

3) The mech has a neon genesis evangalion horn!

Super stuff

Howcome the female lo-poly model has nipples and the male one doesn't? this is an outrage!!!

 

[TheDragonMonkey]

AWESOME job.

Guys don't need nipples.
I am sure that must be the only reason.

@Grummz @Ronyn

It might have already been mentioned, but will there be body-slider for a more toned look? Or even a fatter one...for variety.

Also, the new Tsi-Hu human form looks 1) scary good 2) it also looks like just a single one of them could be trouble, never mind a pack/squad.

Am I the only one who saw a resemblance between the design of the eyes/head on the tsihu and the omnimek (art). Small elliptical lights with linear lights near them?

Edit: another similarity. Both the omnimek and tsi-hu have thighs that extend past the kneecap (see the rectangular structure that juts out over the knee) and both have similar crotch-protector things (rectangular and blocky structures that slant upwards). Wondering what that could mean.

(inb4 tsi'hu omnimek head cosmetic)

Both the Tsi'hu and the Omnimek are using the same Skeleton it looks like, that is probably why you see similarities with the kneecaps. If you take another look the Shoulders are just as similar. Heck the Tsi-hu body even has a similar form to the Omnimek. It probably makes it easier of development of the characters across board.

I am liking the look of the Tsi-hu but the armor looks to be metallic. When they transform from humanoid to beast, is the armor poly-mimetic in that it shapes and forms along with the Tsi-hu? The hook looks good too and I am also wondering the propulsion means of how it grabs a humanoid. Is there a magic behind the propulsion or a motor. If motor how does it propel the multiple chains that it has? Is there a targeting system for the chains? does only one of the chains have the hook? If so what do the others do for purpose?

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T SEE A SIMILARITY WITH THE LEGS. OMNIFRAME LOOK MORE LIKE WALKING ON HIGH HEELS.

Now that you mention it, I see that. I previously only saw them as claws to grab things and perch on like bird feet, which made for some interesting abilities for us wrt hanging upside down on perches in rafters.

However, I don't think I can get the high heels out of my mind from now on...

Maybe a few more toes would help...

Let me help you...

I like the bewbs... they are in the final game right?

AAAWwwwwwwwww DAYUMNmmm man Joey......... now all I see is Heels and pimpin on the streets.......

 

[emikochan]

Love all these designs ^^

 

[4pothesc4ry]

I am not sure I can agree about the frame feet looking like high heels, but they certainly don't look very stable...especially given the frame's size.

 

[AkiraTea]

Any chance you could make the Male less steroidy and make it a closer match the female mass. Less He-Man more Nathan Drake.
I had the same thoughts with the Firefall male designs. The male in the first 2d art that you showed had a much better look then the current 3d.
