    High risk, high reward abilities and weapons

    Perhaps it's only partially an example of risk and reward, but... Borderlands games have some examples of weapons with effects that can hurt you just as much as the enemy (sometimes the negative effects coming from the weapon hurting you directly or they debuff you in a way that lets them enemy...

    New World feedback thread

    Read some reviews of New World that discouraged me from trying it. That's all I can say. And if "the systems used in it (as they) are very similar to what will be in Em8er" then I'm concerned. From what I've seen, of New World gameplay, the fighting and physics of it seem lack-luster. I looked...

    Sound Retention Technology & The Bow

    Sound Retention Technology Creating a completely transparent field that only blocked sound proved to be a more difficult task than anticipated, during the technological boom that gave rise to the first shields and their fast widespread use. Developed sometime after, sound-retention fields...

    Marigold's Story - "Armature'" by Dev Writer, Nethril

    This definitely opens up more possibilities of what the Gatestriders are capable of in terms of engineering and medical science. The question is though, who can volunteer for a procedure like this and why? Live-saving surgery? Or simply a desire to turn their own bodies into weapons to fight the...

    High risk, high reward abilities and weapons

    Ha! I already wrote about one, in my 4th fan-story. Basically, the ability is tied a specific weapon, in my character's case, her energy-halberd. What she does is, a Tsi-Hu hops back, out of range of her forward lunging stabbing attempt. But, its not out of the woods yet. With an ability, we...

    Some questions I came up with over the past few days that hopefully could be answered in a chief chat

    1. According to the backer rewards skins can be applied to our character and dropship and even our bikes, so I don't see any reason why it couldn't be done for our THMPR MEK-As . I mean, it shouldn't even be a question, really. Being able to customize our MEK-A's visuals, at least, in terms of...

    Lecture About MMO Success Strategy

    THAT in particular is a crucial mechanic that has to be redesigned. An "Assist System", getting a few points/rewards, but certain not all, depending on how much one participated in a fight. There's a perfect example in Elder Scrolls Online. When I leave the tutorial dungeon and step outside of...

    Lecture About MMO Success Strategy

    Well...my original character is a "lone-wolf" with an OP-AI that projects itself as a giant wold, so... But, through my Em-8er fanfics I try to emphasize that even lone-wolf players, like myself, should get used to some minimal amount of socializing if they want to survive in the world of the...

    Shows you are watcbing.

    Wow, I checked out that Reign: The Conqueror thing. WHAT a bizarre style and no punches were pulled with the use of curse-words and more adult themes. But, I worry that shows like it, or Blood of Zeus (which I've already watched) are only welcome by a smaller portion of today's audience, while...

    Shows you are watcbing.

    Binging LUFICER's latest season, while I work on some weapon-idea and techno-babble for Em-8er. I've been almost thoroughly enjoying the series, so far, but... RANT WARNING I'm halfway through the new season and I'm so fucking tired of rolling my eyes over the overt sociopolitical messages...

    List of the best aspects of older games.

    I'd be just satisfied with the proper cycling of in-game tips during loading screens, really. Sometimes I see a tip during a loading screen and I'm like "WTF, they show me that NOW? i could've been doing that all this time? God damn it!"

    New Species #3

    Theirs is the only kind of grazing I wanna see from any NPCs/enemies. Suggested names for the mammal: Sylvan Sylvan Oryx Sylvan Gazelle Branching Oryx Branching Gazelle Tree Oryx Tree Gazelle For the insect: Bevy - it's a plural noun, but here it can refer to either just one or more of them.

    The Speed of Biome Revival and Vulpeculi

    Meteors could crash, bringing some rare or even new and unknowm, uncommon materials we could race against time to mine, before the Tsi-Hu could secure them and take it all with them. Needless to say, anyone accidentally caught in the blast, because they weren't paying attention to the suddenly...

    The Speed of Biome Revival and Vulpeculi

    I DUNNO WHAT THE *#!? I'M EVEN LOOKING AT, BUT IT'S *#!?ING AWESOME!!! Oh, I know all about hums. My hometown was built for the sole purpose of providing housing for workers of the factory complex that was built along with it. Over 12000 jobs, a few decades ago, in decline, since. Still over...

    Ember Story #5 - Silenced Ether

    @Pandagnome Oh, HADES can be tons of fun for even those with less patience, like myself. And like I said, every character has such great voice-acting it really gives every one of them a unique personality. And I was actually making a bit of a parallel with the whole COVID lock-down and how...

    Ember Story #5 - Silenced Ether

    Author's note: Everything, all events that I've written in my fan-stories are meant to be taken as prequels to the story we will be experiencing in-game. When we'll create our character and take our first servo-whirring steps in the game-world, the events in my stories have already happened and...
