    Video Update 10 - Test Levels, Omniframe Redux & Tsi-Hu Lore

    Yes, we want large Kaiju. Not Cat 5 (that would be its own level, and I have NO idea how to accomplish that yet).

    Video Update 10 - Test Levels, Omniframe Redux & Tsi-Hu Lore

    While I like the skill element, I'm going to try to do a smooth landing in all cases unless you hit the side of a mountain. I want skill to "plus" a mechanic, but not to punish those who are doing the regular stuff. Skill will be used to execute sharper turns, and some other moves, etc.

    Video Update 10 - Test Levels, Omniframe Redux & Tsi-Hu Lore

    Video update 10 is up! We're mainly tuning what we have now in preparation for final Omniframe art and animation. We show some new jetpack moves and glider thermals. Also, we discuss the Tsi-Hu lore in this update for Em-8ER. Thanks for watching!

    BUG - can not even scroll...

    That main website is being replaced with something much simpler. We won't be using the blog format at 1st, just a static page describing the game and a link to your Em8ERID accounts and perk management. The big updates will be mainly the forums, discord and the Em-8ER update videos. The...

    Is there a good reason for 3 frames?

    The light frame is limited on it's reactor size, max shields and armor. Heavy has large reactors and heavy shields/armor but has less mobility. Medium lets you blend the two, with a decent amount of power and mobility. It's the most flexible of the frames but doesn't max out on speed like...

    Video Update 9 - Grappling Hooks, Gliding and Glore (er, lore)

    Ya I trimmed a lot because Story Time is only 5 mins. LOL you guys have me calling it "Story Time" instead of "Lore Drop" now. The short format made me miss describing some things. You're not the only one who mentioned the need for a clearer sequence both before and after the home world...

    Video Update 9 - Grappling Hooks, Gliding and Glore (er, lore)

    Hehe tks. I'll keep trying to improve my "story voice." Dropships would be...pretty dang cool. But we don't have any vehicles planned until post launch. But we DO want more things post launch and a dropship might be one. I would love for it to be a support role and human pilotable...while we are...

    Video Update 9 - Grappling Hooks, Gliding and Glore (er, lore)

    The humans really only get a personal defense gun (light smg) when out of mechs. The idea is to get to your next mech as soon as possible.

    Omniframe build types: Post your ideas here!

    So @Takahama over on Discord started dreaming up some build types. In Em-8ER you can build out any type of frame you wish. 1) Choose a light, medium or heavy frame (light can dual wield melee, medium can dual wield ranged, heavy can have a shield arm) 2) Decide on if your base frame will...

    Video Update 8 - Choose the THMPR Laugh

    You don't terraform like in Minecraft. Each zone goes through 4 distinct stages from icy/volcano -> final biome look. No shaping involved, thing jump one level at a time.

    Video Update 8 - Choose the THMPR Laugh

    Well there is no sound on any of the weapons right now, also missiles will come from shoulders for sure! Right now they come from gun just for convenience, we were just getting the basic framework in place. TY for the great feedback!

    Video Update 8 - Choose the THMPR Laugh

    All laughs will get a deeper base to reflect THMPRs size. Good point by the community here, no matter which one we pick. Sinister was already heavy. Destructables. Well, with Kaiju stomping around, we need to be able to clear a path for them. Working with AMD and nVidia to see if lots of...

    Video Update 8 - Choose the THMPR Laugh

    The arm blades were just for looks, but could be use for a short jab melee attack. But as you noted, this is their ranged form. The chain Tsi-Hu are not all Tsi-Hu. This is a variant (we recently decided), that will grab jetpacking/gliding Omniframes. But instead of reeling them in, they will...

    Video Update 8 - Choose the THMPR Laugh

    Did I? It *IS* hard to pronounce. Might need to revisit the alien language with Nojah soon. Meanwhile, call them "shifters." That's what the community voted for their nick-name in our naming contest.
