    Chief Chat "CLAIM STAKES 2" VOD - 8/05/2022 (Builds v1.3.1 and v1.3.2)

    Mark said this was cosmetic only and explained it's not P2W in the chief chat. There is no P2W component with this idea since there's nothing you can do in your claimstake that isn't publicly available elsewhere. You can base build and have your personal crafting stations, but those crafting...

    Hauler, Guardian, Pirate Job System

    I was inspired by a previous Chief Chat about the cargo hauler job role, and it reminded me of a job system from an MMO called Silkroad Online. The job system has changed a bit since I played, but the jist was this... You could be something akin to a Trader who hauls the cargo via animals...

    THUMPING RETURNS! First iteration - Feedback

    In Dauntless you can fire flares/fireworks into the sky to show your location. Perhaps Ember could do something similar? Drones that flash in the sky, or perhaps laser beams that shoot up into space? You could go with an effect that can offer cosmetic options... Think Rocket league goal...

    THUMPING RETURNS! First iteration - Feedback

    Overall I'm impressed! The environment changes with the portal and the objects spawning in is a really nice touch and advancement from Firefall thumping. Definitely a promising start to the encounter! Very glad to see the popcorn enemies being added! Blasting Aranha was incredibly satisfying...

    Pilot Design Concept Ideas

    I'm really vibing that NASA design. Retains the "human" element but sets the time period far into the future. Really gives off a gritty "the humans survived, endured, and advanced" feel.

    Weapons Test 1.0 FEEDBACK & SUGGESTIONS

    The jumpjets are missing a "horiztonal" thrust when you hold down shift. In Firefall you could jet on the horizontal plane with more "oomph" when holding shift, allowing you to effectively "circle" an enemy and fire upon them.

    Em-8er - TERRAIN BUILD Live Stream Thread - June 11th, 2019

    The transition from login screen to the in game world was stunning! The small things like that really demonstrate just how much thought and passion has been put into this game. Keep it up! In similar sentiment to others, I'd like to see the vegetation have a slightly more fantasy look &...

    New to Em8er, very old fan of FireFall ;-((

    Few months time is a bit optimistic... The last projection was Kickstarter launching Q1 this year, and the project is still not even close. Given the speed of progression, I'd say Q1 of next year for the Kickstarter is more realistic. The art demo went live first few days of November 2018...

    The layout and design of my.em8er.com is sexxxyyy. Reminds me of Firefall. IMO do that design for the other websites as well.

    Em-8ER Video Update #5

    I think bi-weekly updates and popping into Discord & responding to forum threads would be sufficient. Maybe interacting with the community more on the off weeks would help keep activity/momentum going until the following update?
