It was lots of fun and full of good info as well. If I can do the next one, I certainly will!

I installed Unreal 4 SDK last night and made my noob effort to use it to create a video showing a bit of the Novelium Ore Bug idea. See: There is some time dilation, as it were. 1) Start In the first part the player stumbles across or sees from a distance the fire bursts when the NOBs...

THE SOLITARY NOB & DERIVED MINI-EVENT SMALL/MEDIUM NOBS: The life cycle of the NOBs involves the small to medium sized ones that do not stray very far from their original lava lake of birth - and which make their egg laying sites nearby where the lava is still easily accessible below the crust...

Of course, the really big ones may have that ever so special Tsi-Hu Artifact inside them made of the rarest of rare Navelium Alloys which remain solid even at the intense heat of the deepest lava fields from which the NOBs emerge...

THE NAVELIUM ORE BUG [Names may be changed and this might be Ronynium based, of course] Core idea: This is a completely native creature which evolved on EM-8ER and is inorganic in nature, but has a life cycle which might remind us of Earth creatures. It is in essense an inorganic yet...

I don't know if this is where to post this thread, but I hope it will give us all a chance to brainstorm and come up with ways to have "dismembering" in a way that can get past the nanny state govts that think that their citizens are too immature to understand a game vs. reality... rant rant...

So as not to conflict with things here, I have moved this to a new thread. You will have to guess what "this" is as it is now removed!

I really liked the Bioneedler. I do not have a video, I fear. It had a nice feel to it and the little sound effects and visuals matched up perfectly with the feeling that it was indeed a 'needler'. It felt really agile. I liked the shotgun alt fire (could have been a bit more powerful). That...

I have mentioned this in other posts, but I had not video of it. I also really enjoyed this original Nighthawk rifle with the HIGHLY rewarding "pop" at the death of the enemy. I never found that the AOE damage really did much in most circumstances, but I LOVED the "pop" at the end for one shot...

That is a good point. There were seemingly always non combat (or combat troops even) wandering around oblivious to the carnage taking place around them. Certainly, with no destruction of the base components the bases themselves were always pretty as ever. I think with the building destruction...

Getting more so every day as M3 rockets upwards like an over boosted jet pack...

Here is a good spot: https://forums.em8er.com/forums/vision-book-project-proofing.28/ It is the somewhat old but still good text only of both lore and game design. It went into the vision book for milestone 2 (1?) and answers much about lore and game aspects. Right now we are zooming through...

Thank you for that post! I particularly liked how the environment transitioned in Coral Forest as one could walk/run/drive etc. through one landscape type to another. Some of my BEST moments were night or evening walking up to the North and then over through the woods to ThumpDump. Along the...

That's it. I never saw the kitty. Maybe it should more realistically be a dead rat for urban warfare environment?

MINI-MINI EVENT An outhouse is required (or a small turret). 2-3 player event, happens in a really short time frame from start to finish NORMAL MINI-EVENT A new barracks addition 5-10 player event, a day of prep maybe or hours getting resources and building it A short combat sequence...

NEW MINI-EVENT BASE BUILDING IN THE SKY - WITH LAND SPACE PREP BELOW Folks are discussing this now on Discord with Grummz - the idea that players can build up parts of a base (like a building unit) up on some kind of sky platform, while players on the ground secure ?and/or terraform? a space...

It's well on the way to having that with the current M3 milestone. The more everyone can pump into this one, the closer we get to those more advanced aspects of development. The key is we'll be starting with some incredible fun combat if it is anything like the original FF start. The start of...

I see what you mean, but I think this one will be better overall. He still is huge compared to us, and can come in from the sky like the FF Thumpers. Having him move will make the combat much much more fun vs. the static thumper. Also - having to escort him to protect him and the resources...

I think I saw a long time ago now a gun the Israeli army was using that actually had the stock bend so they could flip the barrel around the corner of a building and like in that photo watch remotely an fire, but still stabilize the stock at right angle to the barrel. That was a while back -...

I like the idea of the night energy shield visuals! I can imagine fighting at night and seeing the big base or building shields start out nice and bright and then begin to flicker, spark, and fade of fizzle as they get bombarded and beaten upon or the generator gets smashed by infiltrating...
