    Heinesnow's Art is Awesome

    This is not so much a poll as it is a petition for Grummz to find a way to get his art in the game. For reference, some of his creations can be found at https://forums.em8er.com/threads/heinesnow-art-related.360/page-7

    Unofficial Crossover Speculation Thread

    Because I like to make trouble.

    Insurance

    Someone posted this on Discord as a joke, but I thought it was a good enough idea to post here: Given the way that breaking/repairing works, you run into a sort of problem: What happens if you run out of resources and all your frames break? Sure, it's not likely, but you run into similar, more...

    Regarding the Kaiju-Hunting Portals

    I don't know if this has been brought up already, but people have been asking about dungeons. What if, instead of just encountering a kaiju after entering a portal, you enter a sort of mini-dungeon guarded by tsi-hu and filled with caches, culminating in the kaiju as the final boss.

    I'm an Ark Liege Now!!! Yay!!!

    I created this thread mostly for bragging rights, but I have a few questions First, and most pressing, given that I'm an M3 backer AND now an ark liege, are the 5 copies of the mockup and game 5 extra copies or 4? And could we give them out now or do we have to wait for the full mockup to be...

    Some questions I came up with over the past few days that hopefully could be answered in a chief chat

    1. Could/would the peerless/artisan upgrades apply to mech skins as well as pilot skins? What about mounts? Will the python be customizable? (I know that this is 3 questions, yes) 2. How would we balance the skinning of pilots with the character customization? For instance, would Toshi be able...

    Among Us, Minecraft, and the THMPR Mockup

    I've asked myself often, why is Among us such a memeable game? Why is Minecraft so popular despite having such low-quality graphics? After doing some research, here is what I've found: Mom & Pop restaurants. People love them, but why? Well, first of, everyone loves an underdog. But beyond...

    Solution to the Chat dilemma (I think)

    The question: Legally speaking, all text chat needs text to speech and all voice chat needs speech to text. Currently there is no software that can be applied to games to do that for you. The solution (according to a friend of mine who is into this stuff): Speech to Text may be a problem, but...

    Stream Today: 2 PM Pacific

    will be live with @Pandagnome and (hopefully) @Valaetoshiru playing the demo as a test. Links will be provided near time of livestream. As a sidenote, we still have (i think) 1 slot left, so see Casting Call thread https://forums.em8er.com/threads/casting-call.2014/ if you're interested.

    Discussion: Time Travel Mechanics

    My dad and I were discussing...well, it's complicated...but at one point he made a comparison to time having DNA, which I think has interesting implications for Science Fiction in general and Em8er in particular. For instance, we know that the tsi-hu were trapped in a time loop. Suppose that...

    Idea Inpired by PSO2:NGS - Combined Weapons

    In the OG PSO2, every class was given a gunblade to compensate for lack of ranged/melee abilities. In NGS, they solved that problem by allowing you to combine weapons, like for instance a wired lance and a twin machineguns, which make for interesting combinations. What if we did the same...

    Casting Call

    Now that the playable mockup is impending, I'd like start a stream of it. A very unique stream. But to do that, I need help. I want to start a split-screen stream of 4 people (or however many will be in the mockup) all in the playable mockup together Halo-style. I have all the tech set up, I...

    Issue That Needs to be Addressed: Resources

    In Firefall, we had a problem that high quality resources were being grabbed up like hotcakes and low quality ones were being left alone. Grummz THINKS he's solved that problem by requiring you to use some low quality resources in your crafting. And that's a good partial solution. But there...

    Alternate Idea for Guilds

    Grummz said there would be 12 houses with subdivisions as guilds. It's an interesting idea, but I feel one that could be expanded on. Grummz, if you're reading this, you've made no secret of the fact you've been thoroughly enjoying Xenoblade Chronicles X. So have I. In that spirit, I present...

    Sunday Chill Stream

    I laid this out on Discord, but I'm reposting here to gauge support Grummz pointed out that Em-8ER just needs to stream one more day a week to be eligible for Partner. I suggested a chill Sunday stream. No Discord, no complex audio software, no other devs, no new demos, no official talk of...

    Idea: Nerf as Buff

    In advanced crafting mode, it is ideal to have both high and low quality mats as you need to nerf some stats if you want to buff others. We know this. But what if nerfing some stats actually gave you an advantage? Perfect example: in Warframe, there was a sniper rifle that only held one shot...

    Nerdy Question

    In SWTOR, if you jump while on an elevator platform going down, you fall to your death. IRL, however, jumping on an elevator obviously does not do that. There is a reason for the disparity: politics. Sort of. According to Newton's laws of motion, every object on Earth falls at the exact same...

    I Don't Like the Rifts

    Right now they look more like nodes of some device than rifts. Cracks in time should look more like the crack from Doctor Who, except smaller and, you know, vertical.

    Tiered Events

    This idea is even better than my PROC Simulator So let's take an example of Grummz' idea of Em8er's version of melding tornadoes. To recap, this event involves specialized rifts that allow you to travel to the Tsi-Hu's time loop, fight a Kaiju, and get certain mats before the rift closes...
