    On frame entry

    All I've gotta say for this, is please, please, have some sort of 'skip animation' option, or at least a very quick animation as well. These kinds of animations are great the first few times you see them. Then they start getting old, especially if you are constantly having to transition in/out...

    Concerned about P2W

    This isn't quite true. The original way Grummz described claimstakes, it had sounded like they were going to be a major part of the intro to the game, and *everyone* was going to have to interact with them, and it was going to take a fairly long amount of time to get passed this part of the...

    Chief Chat "CLAIM STAKES 2" VOD - 8/05/2022 (Builds v1.3.1 and v1.3.2)

    So, here goes for some feedback: When claimstakes were initially presented, they gave off the impression that they were going to be an extremely vital, mandatory piece of content, which brought forward a couple problems. The biggest problem appeared to be (at least in my opinion) that they were...

    Chief Chat "CLAIM STAKES" VOD - 7/28/2022 - BIG REVEALS!

    Tutorials aren't usually fun, and most people don't need like to do them, but you *absolutely* need to have them in-game in some manner. Without them, you will almost never draw in completely new gamers - not everyone has experience with shooters, or MMOs, or even games *at all*. While it's...

    Chief Chat "CLAIM STAKES" VOD - 7/28/2022 - BIG REVEALS!

    I fully agree that the NMS intro still isn't good; was talking only specifically about the portable crafting station idea from it, instead of having a full-on permanent claimstake. I don't quite agree with your second point, but it's more of a 50% thing. In most games, it absolutely does make...

    Chief Chat "CLAIM STAKES" VOD - 7/28/2022 - BIG REVEALS!

    Could look to No Man's Sky intro for this. The first crafting bit has you make a Portable Refiner to create the resources you need to repair your ship and get off planet. It would be easy to do something similar, where your initial "claimstake" is temporary, and more of a very basic intro to...

    Chief Chat "CLAIM STAKES" VOD - 7/28/2022 - BIG REVEALS!

    Throwing in my 2 cents: Going to have to echo most of the posts already on here, making Em8er into an "open-world survival crafting base-building mecha kaiju shooter" game is probably not going to turn out well. Also, that buzzword description is very deliberate: the mecha/kaiju/shooter aspects...

    Em-8ER Backer Recognition

    My two cents: Something like this should definitely be more of an in-game thing, rather than on Discord/social media. A lot of people don't interact with the social media platforms for specific games they play. For me, personally, I would have even preferred the dev blogs on Medium to have...

    Kaiju idea: Goldbacker Gobbo

    He would absolutely have a large brain, considering his size, so he would have some sort of smarts. It might just be more extensive animal intelligence/instincts. This could actually be a feature of him as a game mechanic - as he grows via monetary input to the game, his AI could be continually...

    Kaiju idea: Goldbacker Gobbo

    I haven't really read into the lore of Em-8er yet, so I didn't know this. Generally speaking, however, if humanity had come across any planets prior to Em-8er that had an actual biosphere and were in the habitable zone of a system,- i.e., they weren't just rocky resource planets - then they...

    Kaiju idea: Goldbacker Gobbo

    Would have to depend on the dev team; I imagined it being linear based on whatever base model size they decided to use prior to the % increases. If they chose a fairly large size to begin with, and took the increases down by a factor of 10, they could probably do exponential and be relatively okay.

    Kaiju idea: Goldbacker Gobbo

    Idea for a Treasure Goblin-style kaiju: Goldbacker Gobbo Goldback goblins are small, relatively tame space creatures that feed on currency in order to grow a lustrous golden shell on their backs. This shell is prized for both its aesthetic value, as well as its properties as a highly...
