    Story - What This Land Giveth (The First Discovery of Phased Ore)

    @Ronyn @Grummz @nethril#8239 ? The electric impulse of a thought reached across the Fabric of cyberspace and translated into digital letters displayed on a retinal HUD. "Cullman?" It read. The blinking of eyes did not darken the message and they briefly refocused on the ash-capped snow-scape...

    THUMPING RETURNS! First iteration - Feedback

    In the Vision Book there was mention of a resource collection drone that would work alongside the THMPR and to which we would have to run back and forth with the pieces of ore we'd pick up, by running over them. In a month-old gameplay video, I saw no signs of this drone, perhaps because of the...

    JULY 29, 2021 NOTES: Grummz outlines his grand vision for Em-8er Post-Launch!

    I *BLEEP* LOVE those frame designs. You know I was the one who nearly threw a fit, at first, when I saw we're going to pilot big frames, instead of having Firefall-esque exo-suits. And now, when I first looked at that light-frame redesign, I thought "That may be a little too light." But, on...

    THE SHOT - A story from the Crixa Universe

    Like the interactions between her and her OP-AI, especially since I have a penchant for fem-slash and almost all of my female OCs are into women. And I very much appreciate how it's not overemphasized. No attention is called to it. The reader/viewer doesn't feel like they're being verbally...

    My idea for Fishing in Em8er

    Yep, it shouldn't affect anything else. Perhaps you could eat your catch for some minor boost, like the pre-mission feast in Monster Hunter World. Or trade your fish for really minor CE or the commonest of scrap and spare parts. But, nothing that could really be exploited and could unbalance a...

    My idea for Fishing in Em8er

    The whole fishing thing seems to be trendy. Nier Automata had it. Warframe has spear-fishing. Haven't played any Final Fantasies, but there you go. It's a nice little pass-time, and also it can be used for socializing AND it can be spiced up with different methods for fishing. Use high-tech, or...

    The Danger of a Technocratic Society

    Well, we supposed they could potentially be an even greater enemy. Maybe some splintered Tsi-Hu faction will want to ally with the Reapers once the Enshigi start muscling in on the planet (for whatever reason, for their tech maybe) .

    THMPR Hologram Animations

    THMPR Hologram Animations Going by what's been described in the novel, our MEK-As, aside from emojis on their faceplate, can project a holographic body, to represent them, which can take any shape. If that's the case, then, with enough funding we should be able to have our THMPR use the...

    The Danger of a Technocratic Society

    The Danger of a Technocratic Society As I was reading the Vision Book, the alternate history, how the Enshigi ruled with science as they advanced it, while attempting to repress the emotional side of humanity, it showed a definitive dangerous downside of a society that may want to eliminate...

    Video-Games You're Playing (Re-Start)

    More examples of techno-babble, explaining how weapons work and stuff. Useful for writing, world-building. Interesting sci-fi.

    New image feedback

    Armor, in particular, looks a lot like Mercy's and Echo from Overwatch, but it's good. I didn't even notice the blades/halberd. Eff me. Shows you how perceptive I am. More importantly...who dis? Is this character just to model the new skin or is a proper new character we'll hear of, in the...

    Em8ER Merch! Which would you rather see?

    Subs and packs (and most of what they include) are all good. But, physical merch, like plushies, pillows, blankets...etc. should only come when the characters, creatures, locales...etc. they feature are finalized. That's my only issue. "avenues of revenue" Oh, I like that. :) You knew I'd like...

    The Speed of Biome Revival and Vulpeculi

    I think it would be worth establishing, either in the Vision Book or the novel, or both, that the different types of biomes have already existed on planet EM-8ER, but they were frozen over by the same (artificial) process that imprisoned the Tsi-Hu there. So, once the atmospheric converters...

    Em8ER Merch! Which would you rather see?

    Also true. But...priorities. Let's funnel whatever funding is given into animating, coding, modeling...etc. anything that creates the game itself. Not into plushies and pillows, when the creatures and characters they feature are still on the drawing board (and may even be still subject to...

    For Your Consideration: The Music of the Gatestriders

    We could/should definitely mix retro, sax, funk, piano, jazz...etc. with...electronics, metal, synth-wave, future-pop...etc. Oddest of combinations. Who knows how cool they can sound together. I don't listen to classical and/or piano by itself, but combine it with a certain something and you'll...

    For Your Consideration: The Music of the Gatestriders

    Now, some of these are more fitting than the others. And they aren't in any particular order, except for the very first one. THAT one, in particular, might as well be the theme of EM-8ER, right there. You'll see! :D And some have sounds that fit a sci-fi, mecha-combat, alien planet environment...

    My GATESTRIDERS NOVEL Review & Nitpicks

    Firstly, it was very interesting to hear further details about the technology, especially the THMPR AI personalities and their intelligence. And the Fabric! It's a cool concept, which, along with the description of how their HUD works, the zooming, filters, trackers...etc. opens up a lot of room...

    Cool and quite possibly inspirational stuff (But no politics)

    The Surprising Genius of 3D Printed Rockets I was skeptical about the time it took and about the integrity of the finished product. But... 10:08-12:08 Printed alloys are not only stronger than traditionally created ones, but 3D-printing can enable the creation of shapes and forms that would...
