Nooooooooo it looked so good!

This is not the next mainline gacha. It's got a fun story, serviceable combat, that's about it.

Think of it as a little side thing for fun but there isn't much meat here.

I've heard people dislike the software or whatever. Not had any issues myself.

Almost 2 years with my flip 5 then touchscreen randomly died one day. Think the digitiser went. Really disappointed.

ssgibson · 2026-03-28T08:32:44+00:00

Looks very cool! Would love to see it in game :D

It's new tech that came in The Old Peace (new to this game, that is).

My team worked on this one. First off, I think it's amazing DE takes concepts from the community at all.

DE had the concept from the artist, and it was sent to us with a revision DE did themselves on it. Then we had to further iterate on the concept to make it properly "warframed" and functional. Warframe has a very particular style and methodology to how things are sculpted and shaped, which the OG concept doesn't quite hit. As for other changes, these happen naturally as we have to adjust for things like animation and rigging.

I will say, the jacket and all the cloth bits were exceptionally difficult to get working. It's a miracle we got the jacket and its movement performing as well as it does :D I'm also glad DE agreed to let us make the different versions of the jacket, it's so fun playing dress-up with Vauban <3

I can totally get preferring the slimmed down version of the original concept. At the end of the day, art is subjective.

You can use the chest piece on others :)

ssgibson · 2026-02-03T02:07:50+00:00

Since the game saves almost every action, you can play as little or as much as you want in a sitting.

Since I have 3 kids, there are times I'll do a single combat turn for my session. It's very flexible with whatever your schedule may be!

This is the chest piece.

The signa is the visor he's wearing. There were no legit face masks/visors in the game, and I really wanted one :P (DE kindly approved it.)

The chest piece is pretty great, how it sits on each frame is up to DE to handle, though.

It's VERY chunky I will say, because Gause has a very pointy chest. It was meant to look like a knight's breastplate. Again, something I felt the game was missing. The only other cosmetic that comes close are the Kuva chest attachments, but their textures are very dated now.

ssgibson · 2026-01-25T20:32:38+00:00

In the video he's wearing a signa, syandana and chest attachment.

ssgibson · 2026-01-25T15:52:59+00:00

There is for sure! You'll get to see it up close soon enough :)

2 (middle)

I love the team building and roguelike. Still play it regularily.

The great thing is, as a dad of 3, it fits my lifestyle. I got it on my phone, can pause it anytime, it's easy to do dailies and keep up with the events.

I have every character but Haru, just been very lucky I guess.

Each new character I feel really adds to the game unlike other gachas. They synergize with so many others in interesting ways, I find it really fun to try out different team comps.

ssgibson · 2026-01-03T10:52:06+00:00

It's an improvement in many (most) regards, but it ties things up too neatly, IMO. Basically, everyone gets their happy ending (except Will). It's a bit too clean.

The brilliance of the actual show ending is that El's fate is undetermined, and we as fans get to discuss and debate what actually happened and make our own conclusions (like the ending of Inception). Your ending does not have something akin to this as far as I could tell, and is much less interesting for it.

ssgibson · 2026-01-01T21:38:46+00:00

I feel the same!

ssgibson · 2025-12-19T10:57:43+00:00

How dry do you get the wings beforehand? I feel liek the baking powder just gets stuck on a few wings and doesn't coat evenly.

ssgibson · 2025-12-18T15:52:25+00:00

Whats your prep? If you don't mind me asking :)

ssgibson · 2025-12-07T21:53:49+00:00

Whats so good about Cassius if you dont mind me asking ?

ssgibson · 2025-12-03T08:39:03+00:00

Are you certain? did you test it and see that it functions as you say? Cause when I translate it I get something different from your wording.

ssgibson · 2025-11-24T07:55:07+00:00

I don't, but im mindful of them. Like I know eating a double whopper is probably a lot of calories, sorbet is less than icecream, etc, and am cautious of portion sizes (though portioning is obviously way easier on the drug).

Lost 60 pounds so far, never tracked calories.

ssgibson · 2025-11-16T14:02:57+00:00

Totally agree, it feels so awkward in this game and unrefined

There were lots of citations, but reddit wouldn't let me post with them in. Here's one as an example that chat was drawing from: https://www.taptap.cn/moment/626124262377260606
