I've updated signatures to limit how much can be written, linked and posted.

I see people confusing the Guildwars 2 dynamic event system with Firefall's. They were very different. GW2 had fixed locations. Firefall was fully dynamic in location. The full system was supposed to also vary the nature of the encounter depending on time and location. Different things were...

Hi, we have six or seven ex-Red 5 devs who'd like to contribute part time to the project. Because many work for other game companies, they can't "moonlight" on Ember officially so I can't reveal names. Only freelancers like @Joe Solo can be public. Also Michael Bross, who did a lot of the music...

The symbols on the THMPR are all just concept art. I want to have a decal system in the game and you can put what you want. Including the Stars and Stripes. I'm also looking at classic pinup art for frames, for example. I'm not a PC person, so we're not going to tip toe around and try not to...

Right now as we develop art and lore for Crixa, it crosses over nicely with Ember. Since Ember is early on and mostly in design and art stages without coding, the work is compatible. When Crixa is ready for its KS in 2-3 months we will expand the paper and pen writing staff to handle fleshing...

Dammit. Fixed!

The game is highly vehicular.

Hi Carnage. You said it yourself 1.0 was a shitstorm and by that time, I had been gone 6 months. They had 2 years and more to fix the game, and the steamchart speaks for itself. The game got far, far worse after I left and today, they have no devs left and are on the verge of closure. The old...

While we are still working out many aspects of Ember, it won't be "WoW with guns" and won't have traditional leveling, quests and raids. I helped invent the "exclamation mark questgiver" for MMOs when we did WoW and never want to do that again. :) P.S. the choice of symbol was inspired by Metal...

We're about to announce our next funding goal to help bring Ember closer to a playable test prototype. The first funding was for $250 to make a website. IndieGoGo sets a minimum of $500 so we made it flexible funding. It was really just to see if the community was willing to take the next step...

Yes, we would do an online system for feedback.

Firefall got into trouble early with its beta policy of always being on 24/7 in early beta (too early!) and promising never to wipe chars. This combo created a huge issue for designers as systems were not just ready to promise or keep up with this. Ember will have weekend testing or other forms...

The next funding goal will include 3D modeling of much of the content art produced so far.

Yep, the idea is to crowdfund in in small, deliverable sections that demonstrate progress and build confidence over time. Its actually identical to how publishers to it. Publishers pay every month or two, and only if the work has progressed to a satisfactory degree. Except now, the gamers are...

Could be like EvE, destroy your whole frame...if I wanted to be a dick.

It's right next to Mankrirk's wife.

When community drama arises to the point where people are calling each other names and PM'ing devs and mods, it has a cost. As a small team (tiny! And working part-time), the drama you create is one less hour, one less day, one less week we can devote to developing Ember as a game. Before you...

This thread has devolved into a flame war so I'm moving it here. It has also erupted into name calling and other accusations (on the other thread esp). So like that threat I'm locking this. Discord is fan-run, we merely link it. As a small dev team, we don't have the resources to police drama...

So even though this is a gripes section, we clearly state ad-hom attacks are not allowed. This thread has devolved into name calling and I'm disappointing that Reece, after promising me in chat he would not call anyone names, has done so here. I'm not banning anyone, but I'm going to lock this...

I asked, and I've heard there have only been 1-2 bans (multiple on one person). I'm getting a meeting together with their staff to discuss it.
