New, Rebuilt Portal is live!
Gatestriders!
You told us our web site was looking frumpy, and that we should modernize it.
So we did.
Welcome to the brand new Em-8ER portal!
We rebuilt it from the ground up, and while we were at it we fixed a lot of the things you told us bugged you about the old one. Here's the tour.
Your new devlog feed
The front page is now our devlog feed, the first place you’ll find dev updates, art and news from the team.
Some posts are just for you. Backers get behind-the-scenes posts you won’t see anywhere else, and Patrons get exclusive peeks of their own. Look for the lock badge: anyone can see what a post is about, and if you’re a backer or Patron, just sign in and it opens right up.
A locker that actually shows your stuff
This is the big one. On the old site, your rewards were tucked away inside your packages, and you had to dig to figure out what you actually owned. The new Rewards Locker shows every skin, frame, weapon, vehicle, mount and pet, each one with its art. One click filters by type, so you can see all your pilot skins at once, or just your mounts.
Every pack, unpacked
On the old site, a pack was mostly a description: a paragraph saying what you'd get. We've now broken every pack down into the actual things inside it:
- Skins and items go into your locker.
- Perks like Development builds access and your Security Clearance are listed under Perks & access, each with the packs it came from and its status.
- Rewards like copies of the game are tracked and counted. Own two packs that each include copies? They add up.
Open any pack on your account page and you'll see exactly what it gave you. Nothing is buried in a wall of text anymore.
The game knows what you've earned
This is the part we're most excited about. The portal is now the single source of truth for your account, and the game reads from it. Log in to Em-8ER with your Em-8ER account, and the game knows which unlocks you have: your access, your perks and every skin in your locker.
Put a face on your pilot record
New: you can pick a portrait. Use any pilot skin you own, or upload your own picture, then drag and zoom it until it looks just right.
Connect your Discord
The old site's Discord section never really got off the ground. Now you just click Connect Discord on your account page, approve it, and you're linked.
See where the game is headed
The new Milestones page maps out Em-8ER's flight path. Tap M1 or M2 to see everything they delivered, item by item. We're deep in M3: Mech vs Kaiju, where you call down a THMPR, defend it from the Tsi-Hu, and take down a giant Kaiju. It's all laid out there.
Thanks for sticking with us
We know the site being down wasn't fun, and we really appreciate your patience while we built this. Take it for a spin and tell us what you think!
