    Em-8ER: The Main Story

    It sounds like Grummz has gone back and forth as to whether or not the game should or will have a story. Personally, I believe a story would add a ton to the game and would prefer to have video-announcement-style for major times of world progression. What type of story would you hope for in...

    Discussing how a *massive* warfront/boss encounter plays out

    (This is not Kickstarter demo-related) I engaged a veteran shooter gamer to discuss boss/raid encounters and how the fundamental choices Ember has made would bring a very different experience. I brought up how things would play out, and probed for what ways the player would react in terms of...

    A case against durability

    When I was researching my first long-term graphical game, I had a number of things in mind and one of which was the consequence of death. I was recently made to think about durability, and have changed my position on it. I think it's terrible and must not be in em8er. I don't know if a...

    Drawing more people in with the Kickstarter - more than the gameplay loop

    The gameplay loop is a good way to identify the direct needs for a Kickstarter. However, a game is more than the primary gameplay loop. There are the various social aspects of it. Including basic versions of these things would help grab the attention of a different category of players. The...

    Exploration

    Had an interesting conversation with Abyssalrider the other day. We both feel that true exploration should be a part of Em-8ER. The image is just a snippet, but we discussed both Guild Wars 2 and Wildstar for elements we might like to see. Regardless of the form it takes, I believe there's a...

    Concerns

    I hate asking or mentioning my concerns especially when it’s about something I care about very much. You know how it is with some people. You ask them about their god or maybe question it’s existence and they feel offended when all I was doing was seeking for answers. Having said that I want to...

    Ideas On Fighting Category 5 Kaiju

    Ok, so the question here is how might we actually fight giant kaiju the size of a small mountain? If its simply a massive enemy that has lots of raw health, then it feels less unique/special and more like a scaled up boss enemy (like in WoW, where they literally just scale the models up to huge...

    Em-8ER invasion ideas?

    Hey guys! I wanted to hear all your coolest ideas for Em-8ER invasions! I was thinking something along the lines of infection and choices, leaving two ways for a player made base to be destroyed: Takeover and Destruction. The basic model of a Tsi-hu invasion would be grunts and casters. The...

    Gameplay into Game-Trailers

    Heyy all! Most of you already know me and know that I make some game-play into game-trailer style videos. I haven't made many though cause they take forever to make and I get regrets starting them lol, one ended up taking 70 hours to create (Firefall- OWPVP Frag Zone). The first vid I made was...

    GamePlay ideas, Achievements, Guild power-up and everything in that department

    So i made this list, what do you guys think about it? Base-Building: Buildings can only bought from a Zone Hub (biggest base in one zone, can change as the zone grows, kinda like a Zone Capital) and have to be escorted by players from the Hub to the Base they are building. It has the same...

    Well, Hi! I got some questions 'bout customisation of the MEK, the arsenal that we are going to have and some suggestion. Let's start with CUSTOMISATION: How deep will it be? What will we probably be able to replace and modify on the MEK? I would really like to see huge customisation (BTW i'm...
