Just a heads up, we've got a teaser for the full alien art up: http://crixa.io/2016/08/alien-concept-art-done-full-post-soontm/

We just don't know what method of procedural generation we will use yet. We have to look at every option from real-time to pre-proessed procedural generation that generate a library of maps that are randomly drawn upon. Sorry I don't have more info. All I know it we can't handcraft the maps like...

We're going to be using *some* kind of procedural generation. This might be based on algorithms, or by assembling random tiles. The actual methods and results have yet to be explored. Ember needs big zones with lots of room. Doing all of this by hand would be prohibitive for a tiny dev team and...

People here seemed to be worried about paying to unlock zones? I was thinking of having a couple of mini-expansions to the game. So instead of unlocking zones, you would be unlocking a combination of new features and content.

heh, fair enough. :)

The time the poster was made, there was no design, no game, just a petition. It's like trying to hold Star Wars to the first draft of its script and saying it cannot deviate, no matter how early in the process it is. The game is not in production, ideas can and will change. From your post you...

That's mostly the foreshortening and perspective at work. We normally tweak proportions during the modeling phase as it makes a big difference to see it in 3D.

I've mentioned it in other places, but travel speed is not the primary differentiating factor or purpose of a vehicle in Ember. Think more Planetside 2, and less bikes and armored personnel transport or jeeps. The purpose of vehicles in Ember is not always about transportation as it is about...

Ya sorry guys, but open cockpit is the way I think it needs to be. Covering it up makes it much more like a robot and most people have less connection with their pilot this way. You'd basically never see people, unless you invented entire social gameplay mechanics that required it, which is a...

FTL has one huge problem in "real science" and that is it violates causality. Event B can occur before event A to observer C. Nobody talks about this much, but it makes FTL travel pretty much impossible in real physics. But what fun would that be! For those who like relativity, frames of...

These suits move FAST. Movement will be just as free as Firefall. Don't let the suit fool you, its powered and super light. Filled with SCI-FI stuff!

LOL D.va Omniframe! TY for that @AlphaXero BTW, these frames move like Firefall characters (e.g. they are FAST). They are not lumbering mechs. Expect the same kind of mobility as FF. tks!

It's up! The post about the Omniframe, the player's primary mode of fighting. Read more about it on the Ember site: http://crixa.io/2016/08/the-omniframe-a-m-e-k-battlesuit/

See our blog entry on www.emberthegame.com for more info! I'll be working on the writeup for the frame for the full art post in 48 hours. Also, backers posters have been sent for printing and ready for pickup and shipping this week.

I think you are confusing this for the main story. There are 28 systems and the US and Russia are not dominant parts of the story. The Crixa setting for tabletop is very wide and accomodates DM's need for the usual favorite tropes as well as new and unique ones. Ember itself has nothing to do...

Crixa is also alternate timeline. The Cold War is alive. Soviet Russia still exists and has its own solar system. So does the USA from the 50's 60's.

I'll start. This is my fav artist.

Just to show you guys we are fine with navel, have the official thread here. Nothing lewd, nothing nude. As Navel commander I have final say on that interpretation. TY!

Yes, that seems fine.

Signatures have new limits for amount of text (140 chars) and limits on links and images (1 each). Hopefully this will keep signatures reasonable.
