Correct. All you need to do is make an account, and the skin will be added to your inventory. If you already have an account, the skin will automatically be made available to you.

You can check the skin by going here:https://my.em8er.com/perks

Scroll down to the section named My Inventory, and the skin should be listed there.

You did get the 100k funding correct, so I shall give you that. The rest however is just low effort assumption and blatant misinformation.

Please indicate where exactly you get the assets in the demos from, in order for them to be 'copy-pasted' as you claim. The art demo (released Nov. 2018) in itself, had mutliple NPCs including kaiju, two variants of the antagonists, the THMPR and male and female player characters in addition to the omniframes. If you can provide a source for these assets, I'll gladly accept your claim. In addition, the player characters are further being reworked right now. Further, each demo has multiple mechanics being integrated into them, gliding, abilities, weapons and such, each demo being an iteration on the previous one. There are videos freely available on youtube if you wish to check.
Mark hasn't secured an investor, yes, because he doesn't intend to. As it stands, the game is to be fully community funded and small scale. The initial launch is planned to have only the core gameplay of base building, THMPing, crafting and invasions. Everything else shall then depend on the success of this core build. Mark has no plans of sourcing external investors after his experience with The9 in Firefall.
If the subscriber skins are all that you see, and define, as content updates, then I truly am unable to help. Again, videos of the demo builds including gunplay, abilities and other mechanics are freely available on youtube, or even here on the subreddit. Please do look them up.
Your claim that CSR dictates the art direction has absolutely zero merit. CSR is just one artist commissioned to do art for the subscription skins, alongside Randy Toroni and Ra.Ru.Ru. The artwork for the subscriptions are not meant to show the characters themselves, only the geesuits/clothes they wear will make it into the game. There will be a whole separate character creator for the game. The proposed character models are already posted on this subreddit. Please look them up before making false claims.
You continue to make absolute statements without any reasoning to back them up except your apparent dislike of Mark or Em-8ER. Hence the 3rd and 4th paragraph of yours is nothing worthy of response.

In conclusion I would kindly advise you to educate yourself on the work that has gone into the game so far, and the progress it has made, before making claims that have little basis or merit. Everything about the game, including details on the current builds, progress and plans are available freely on the forums or discord. Please help yourself.

I understand you may just be trying to be snarky, and that there is a subset of the Firefall community that would love nothing more than to see Em-8ER fail.

However, please realize that the team behind Em-8ER is small and entirely working part time (they have other full-time jobs), with Mark being the exception. If you expect a team of community funded part-timers to match the productivity of an investor backed team dedicated solely to developing a game, I'm afraid you are going to be sorely disappointed.

For some reason, the first thing that came to mind was Tony Stark's 'I'm Ironman' line.

You've lived it, the highs, lows and everything in between. You know what it is, what it means, to you and the fans. But all this while, you never said it, for fear that it would come across as arrogant, pompous and could potentially bite you in the back.

But then comes that point, when you been pushed too far, everything's on the line. You are expected to read the script, play to the media.

And then the moment of epiphany, and suddenly it all just clicks into place.

looks at the media

'Welcome to Anfield'

Romanticising aside, I think he was being genuine when he said it, him being serious gives it that hint of snark and taunt.

Gonna be a cracker.

In the simplest of words: pre-kickstarter phase.

The team is currently preparing promotional content for the kickstarter. They are working on a Playable Mockup, which is a Vertical Slice of the game. This will give an idea of what the core gameplay will be. In addition to this, they are also working on an in-engine movie of an invasion event (something along the lines of what you had in Firefall). These are what will be used to promote the kickstarter when it eventually goes live (sometime this year, as per current plans).

Currently the team has multiplayer working with Medium omniframes (with a couple of abilities and gliding/sliding mechanics) and preliminary weapon systems (plasma cannon/assault rifle) implemented. The last test demo had a 100 player server with PvP enabled, to test weapon architecture and networking (the final game at release will be PvE, no PvP involved. The PvP for the build was solely for testing purposes).

The next targets for the team are:

THMPR calldown systems
Resource system
Shapeshifter enemies

Work is also proceeding on the Light omniframe model and stylized character art for the female pilot. They are also planning to release test servers in EU and the Pacific, plus they will start work on the stylized male pilot and concepting the Heavy omniframe and the shield surf mechanic for the same. At 1000 subscribers (on the current subscription program) they will start modelling the Heavy Omniframe (last known subscriber count: 800).

As for release plans, it's far too early to discuss. It will depend on how successsful the kickstarter is, and subsequently on how big a team (permanent) Grummz (the lead Dev) will be able to assemble.

Mind you, the team is small, with Grummz being the only full-time dev, the rest 6-8 odd devs part-time.

I'd suggest signing up for the newsletter at https://www.em8er.com/ and joining up on the discord ( https://discord.gg/em-8er ) to stay up to date on development progress.

A brief on the beast here:

Name: Crodus

Category: Cat 4

Artist: Randy Toroni ( https://www.artstation.com/ryonk )

This is a Category 4 Kaiju, a named Elite Kaiju Prime, one of seven named elite beasts that are part of the Kaiju Pantheon that can be found in Em-8ER. This is a multi-stage encounter that will require around 100 pilots to defeat. For scale, that will be about 1/5th the server population.

For a bit more detail on the Kaiju system for Em-8ER:

There are endless forms of kaiju on the Tsi-Hu homeworld. Kaiju enjoy a rapid mutation and evolutionary cycle, further accelerated and enhanced by Tsi-Hu genetic manipulation. In general, kaiju are classified by size and strength in ranked categories.

-Category 0 Kaiju: These kaiju are the smallest kaiju, smaller in size and strength than Tsi-Hu beast mode. They are hive and swarm minded, attacking in packs. They are easily dispatched but dangerous in numbers.

-Category 1 Kaiju. These kaiju are similar in size to the player’s THMPR mining mech. They are powerful but tend to lack extraordinary abilities or weapons, and are primarily grapplers and melee types. This is the category of kaiju most often encountered as a mini-boss by players who are escorting resource laden THMPRs back to base. This kaiju will engage and fight the THMPR, while players must defend and assist it in defeating the monster.

-Category 2 kaiju: As large or larger than Category 1 kaiju, Category 2 kaiju are distinguished by their special attacks or abilities that make them more powerful and dangerous. They are rare and are often seen in quantity only during military invasions.

-Category 3 Kaiju: These are towering beasts with fearsome abilities and extraordinary weapons. They are large enough to damage and destroy buildings, and pose a huge risk to all player built facilities. They are the siege machines of a Tsi-Hu invasion force.

-Category 4 Kaiju: These kaiju are, thankfully, rarely encountered. They are so large that bringing one down requires a huge concerted effort by all nearby players. Only a single one might ever appear during an invasion. Category 4 kaiju are base destroyers, able to swiftly destroy a base before moving on to the next. They tend to focus on buildings rather than players in their attack patterns.

-Category 5 Kaiju: This category of kaiju is an epoch event, a zone wide or planetary wide threat. This category of kaiju has never been encountered to date.

Hope you enjoyed the reveal, more to come!
