UPDATE FROM FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 2021
Update via Impromptu Chief Chat in Discord:



Main Points & Reminders!
► Test build livestream on Twitch next week! Monday the Dev Team will perform a server test.
^ Results of this test will determine if there will be a demo drop next week, stay tuned!



LAST 3 DAYS FOR THE DOUBLE SKIN MONTH! Ashee OP-AI alongside the Bunny skin!
^ Note: The bunny skin, due to the 3D model rework, will be available for another month!

► Reminder, if we hit a stable 1500 subs, we will have a playable heavy frame for the Kickstarter Demo!

► Thanks to community’s feedback a new design for the Hover Copter concept art was generated! It has electromagnetic engines that are repulsors, a hard canopy full screen interior, and there will be a full cockpit mode as well. It also now has 2 tail guns – one upper sky and one lower sky!



► In the next test build, the Tsi-hu are returning fire and taking cover, along with charging at you!
^ Note: In the new test build, PvP will be turned off! PvE only!


► The new male skin for this month (from a new artist) is a bit "looser but conveys a ton of emotion and a ton of style" (this month’s new male skin clue)!

Please help us get the word out about EM-8ER! Stream the demo, photo the demo, demo the demo… DEMOCEPTION!

► Em-8ER has an official Steam Group! (it will be updated soon!)
^

► THANK YOU Em-8er Community for helping us out with your AMD hardware!

► The Bunny skin 3D model’s hair and skin textures have been improved! She has a “resting dead face” look right now in order to rig the face for animation. The team is working on her animations and facial expressions. Due to this, the Bunny skin will be extended for another month!

General Points
► The Dev Team will be working on behaviors of Tsi-Hu then, working on T.H.M.P.R. encounter!
► The heavy tank will be available sometime after Em-8ER’s launch!
► There will be 4 manufacturers for different looking skins in Em-8ER!
► Second manufacturer style is ready to go! Not revealed, secret for later, no name yet! (Shh!)
^ This manufacturer has its own style of gee-suit


► The Playable Mockup and the Kickstarter cinematic trailer are both coming along. : )
► HUGE art improvements going on in the background!
► Art pass will remain a surprise until Kickstarter!
► Actual resource names are set aside and will be there for the T.H.M.P.R Encounter Playable Mockup
► Wants to add some kind of "carrot" to crafting.
► “Abby” due to her popularity, may be considered to be made into a 3D model!


Tech Points
► DLSS = renders the game at a smaller resolution, then zooms it up with the power of AI tensor cores on the card, and gives you a boost in framerate. If you render at a lower resolution, it will give a faster rendering.
^
DISCLAIMER: DLSS can only be used with Nvidia GeForce RTX 2000 & 3000 series GPUs

► Terrain shaders are still work in progress to be a little bit faster (one of the highest costs)
