The name: Ember

[paravia79]

I ran across a game with the same name (Ember). Is there any concern regarding this being copyrighted? Or is the name Ember useable without negative consequences?

This has been posted before.

Oh. Then feel free to ignore my concerns

 

[Omnires]

sorry I had to make that joke at least once in one of these threads.

Officially this game is named: Em-8er.
With the tag line: Ember:Massive Planetary Wargame.
The visual art and headings will come to reflect that in time.

 

[paravia79]

good to hear

So i've been wondering and also doing some research to find the answer to the question I'm about to ask, but what does Em-8er stand for? And what does T.H.M.P.R. stand for?

I'm about to ask, but what does Em-8er stand for?

the designation to the planet that we are starting on.

On a toxic, fiery world designated as EM-8ER, also known as “Ember,” Gatestrider reaper teams encountered humanity’s first sentient xenomorph....

As far as I know, T.H.M.P.R. is just Mark Kern's tongue in cheek method of saying this game is inspired by the original Firefall as he and some others envisioned the game to be.

Crixia is something that he has on his mind for very long time.

Oh, nice. Makes sense. What about T.H.M.P.R.

 

[Grummz]

I have no idea what THMPR stands for. It was meant as a nod to Firefall. Maybe it will be one of those things everybody asks in Newbie chat, and everyone trolls a different answer.

Ooo not bad at all.
I like the mobile personalized rig part.

Well might go with Techno-humanoid, the humanoid part is to indicate it is not a tracked vehicle.
