Questions & Answers
Question: What kind of Microphone are you using?
Grummz: Shure SM7B plugged into a Focusrite Scarlett Solo
Question: Does the crosshair still move with recoil?
Grummz: It’s actually configurable now! so we can control the blend between how much the crosshair moves and how much the camera moves.
Question: Any news on physical merchandise?
Grummz: No, no news on physical merchandise yet.
Question: Does the Gatestrider novel take place at the same time as Em-8er the game?
Grummz: In the book they are using commercialized mining mechs because they haven't invented military mechs yet. This is a time of peace.
Question: When does Em-8er the game take place?
Grummz: The game takes place when the Gatestriders have become militarized against their enemy.
Question: Question, is there an image that shows the size difference between the 3 frames?
Grummz: Not quite yet, because we're still playing around with that.
