It always is. Welcome! If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask me.

Just let me know if hes too overloaded and I can switch him up. Im thinking I could remove the smg to have him be defined as a long range fighter.

He seems pretty alright. Just be careful not to make his weapons too powerful in the game proper.

Yeah the sniper rifle is supposed to be REALLY strong so thats why I suggested that I take out the smg.

UPDATE March 23:​

If all goes according to plan, I should have the main gameplay thread and a post detailing the setting up by tomorrow evening, and the game can begin from there. While those get prepared, I need a quick favor.
I plan to have all or most of our characters start out in a colony and its immediate surroundings. The only problem is that I don't have a name for it just yet. And that's where you come in.
Leave ideas for the colony's name down below, and at 4:00 pm tomorrow, I'll pick my favorite.
Thanks.

Central U.S.

 

[NemoTheSurvivor]

Windthief, called so because of the wind-powered farm that first powered the colony.

Junktown.
Road Ditch.
Scrapyard.
Murkville.
The Dump.
Ashtown.
Rottingham.
Withergate.
Festertown.

I am assuming this is the classic, run down, post-apocalyptic town were naming here.

 

[Avari]

Eden
Ferris
Armstrong
Lumia
Argentum

Crater - The name is literal. It's built in/around a crater.
Hollowpoint - No reason. Just thought it sounded cool.
First Landing - Name is again, literal.
Mariner - After the first probe to fly past Mars. Also there's place on Mars called Mariner Valley
Tranquility - After the Sea of Tranquility region
Or it could be named after the founder, or New "something".

Also, I'll get my character up soon, or at least in time, I hope. Small question: How advanced are robots these days? Would they have a natural speech pattern or are they still Siri level?

 

[Avari]

KStrausser He's great I like him.

Kinda reminds me of Pascal from Nier. But with a gun.

 

[capMARVELOUS]

KStrausser Robot speech is basically human-level at this point.

 

[Avari]

I'm looking forward to this I must say, everyone has such cool characters!

 

[capMARVELOUS]

Congratulations to Avari and KStrausser for submitting the winning ideas. From here on out, the colony in which the game will begin shall be named NEW EDEN COLONY.
All the ideas were great, but these two ("Eden" and "New [something]") stood out just a little more.

 

[capMARVELOUS]

HEEEEEEY EVERYBODY, THE MAIN GAMEPLAY THREAD IS UP.
A separate thread detailing the specifics of the setting and defining some key terms will be up sometime later tonight. But knowledge of them isn't necessary for the very, very beginning of the game (they'll come into play later).
With that being said, I think it's time to CONSIDER THE FRONTIER OPEN!​

 

[Avari]

Yeeee!

And you did so wonderfully.

yay.
Also, could you please describe the "New Eden Colony"? Like how big it is, how advanced it is and etc.

Will detail in the Lore page I'm typing up. At the very, very least, it'll include the shops that our shopkeep-type characters, well, keep.

My reply is up. Sorry if it seems a bit short; been a busy day today and my mind is a bit fried.
