Just a small update. No new snazzy pictures to show. Artists are doing the not-so-exciting-to-see work of topology of their models...the process of creating a good mesh for characters both high and low poly. The Tsi-Hu humanoid is being prepped for this. Meanwhile Joe is working on the Tsi-Hu...

Great! Glad you guys like the face for the most part.

Happy Friday everyone! We have some more work in progress shots of the Tsi-Hu humanoid. This time we are focusing on the head and face and upper body. We wanted to create that "alien beast yet intelligent" look we've all been discussing with the community. The "hair" on the Tsi-Hu...

I'm horrible with dates, but someone told me it's @Xeevis 's birthday today. Happy birthday!!!! TY for all you've done for Em-8er!

Hi everyone. I want to get a complete list of people still missing the 3D printer files. Can you please reply to this post and I will have Ronyn get the files out to you directly. TY!

Can I cry? Is that okay for a lead dev? Omg ty for this! Soooo epic!

I updated the times. Joe is streaming SUNDAY 6pm-8pm PST

Joe will be streaming the making of the Tsi-Hu beast from 6pm-8pm PST this Sunday, Oct 29! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSieVxJhO1EbiRVn3XfYerA

Alright! We took a break from texturing the humans to start working on the shape-shifting Tsi-Hu. These aliens have 2 forms: a humanoid form for ranged combat, armed with rifles and grappling hooks, and a beast form for hand to hand combat. Joe will be streaming the beast modeling process on...

The bike is no faster than the Omniframe's skim mode, and in fact is slower to transition in and out of. From a power perspective it's not any better than skimming. Everyone could craft a bike in Firefall Beta. I was not there on release. During Beta other bike types were purely cosmetic...

Well Em-8ER is not about doing missions or quests. Its a persistent wargame with personal mechs vs an invading army with their Kaiju beasts. Also, Anthem and Destiny 2 are instanced small squad games. Even Warframe open word is limited to just your squad. Em-8ER allows potentially hundreds of...

The characters will get a revisit once we see them in Omniframes and in game. As for Brink, yes we took our inspiration from how they stylized their chars.

I promise that the chars don't look so creepy when they are in 3D and not "peeled"

Here we go! Adding textures to the Gatestriders now. Still not real hair (What you see is temp), but we will be using modern hair techniques instead of "good old helmet hair." Enjoy these shots of our WIP! We use a program called Substance Painter to quickly texture all our models. You...

Okay, Joe textured and baked out the Omniframe. It is DONE. We will be passing this to the riggers/animators next week. Joe did a terrific job. He is also going to be tweaking the color to fit our snow/lava scene better in the coming days. We also have been tuning the Kaiju concept...

Sometimes there isn't much to report when you are in head's down mode in development. We are dealing with some unglamorous parts of game development. This means the Omniframe is going through mask prepwork for texturing, and that the humans are getting a redo of some of their UV maps...

PDT Pacific time. :)

From your Mom, of course. She says "hi."

Hi Em-8ER fans! We have some news to share. First the low poly of the Omniframe is done and Joe is now UV unwrapping the model in preparation for painting it. Joe will also be live streaming a demonstration of how we use Substance Painter to texture a sci-fi crate for the game. Stream will be...

Are you good with front-end web graphic design? I'm looking for someone who can do photoshop mockup and, even better, mockups in Foundation. If you only work in basic HTML and photoshop, that's okay too. Post links to your work here. Must have prior experience. This is for the login portal for...
