    NEW Em-8ER Build: "Dev Build UE5.3 New Copa Returns" 04/22/2024

    Found a movemnt option I'm calling 'sledding' - climb up to the top of a hill, the steeper the better, jump, then hold left shift to open your gliding - you'll 'sled' down the hill, and keep going, so long as you hold down left shift and can maintain enough speed on a steep enough slope. It's...

    Projected PC System Requirements

    The basic idea is to get a "vertical slice" of the game working for the kickstarter - like a slice of pie tells you what the rest of the pie tastes like, a vertical slice is a small piece of the game that'll indicate what it's about. Originally planned as "do some mining, then upgrade", it was...

    Except for Grummz, the devs are all part timers; the Kickstarter is when they plan to hire full time

    Stretch goal idea: multiple slots for pets/companions. Floating over right should, floating over left shoulder, following on ground near right foot/left foot

    Question about Newcomer pack/M3

    I thought that, but the Newcomer page itself says "These Dropships will be pushed to all registered Em8ERID accounts right away" and Pandagnome above posted a picture from what I assume is his inventory. Does *no one * with an M3 have this in their My Packages, or is it a bug that only some are...

    Maybe a little, but I was imagining more like a chest cannon - BOOM!

    Ability perk: Launcher. Pick a vehicle/mount, Mech fires player out of chest, player auto-equips and starts driving

    Terraria actually had a nifty idea for that, similar themed animals that transported them in-flight. eg - You've got a dino follower/pet, but you fly. So a Pterodactyl appears, lifts the little dino off, and flies with you. When you land, the pterodactyl disappears. A rooster could appear to...

    More ideas. At some point I'm gonna need to ask for something in return . . . a personal decal/spray/banner/insignia from the Ark LIege pack, maybe? - Cosmetic: Pipes for the distinguished gentleman or lady of refinement, cigars for the grizzled war vet or tomboys. Smoke trails mandatory -...

    Do I get a commission for these? Or at least a freebie? - Different sound effects when mech is walking, from serious to silly. Thump, cymbal crash, jingle bells, squishing sound, even musical notes that alternate with rhythm - heavy mechs can walk up mountains - just straight up dig their...

    +1 to this. Anything you can put on a shelf for display is merch gold In-game: hats. Team Fortress 2 was made better when it turned in a war-themed hat simulator, and hats can do the same for Ember - Chroma footsteps, like Team Fortress 2's old Halloween footprints. Chroma, solid colors. -...

    The Resource Scanning & Mining Demo coming Tuesday, November 17th

    - Mech able to move around/slide around the world while scanning animation plays - No indication of how much boost (glide?) is left. Boost/glide is always either at 100% or recharging - No indication that boost is glide vs boost - the minute I try to boost vertically up, I go from 100% boost to...

    Custom banner/spray/insignia & motto. That's literally the only thing I don't have but want, but it'd cost $1,500 for Ark Liege to get it

    Grummz has already remarked on the - shall we say, very poor state - of the website and said a new, much improved one is coming before the kickstarter
