Let me paraphrase for you:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>&quot;Grab yourself a thumper and a scan hammer and get thumping for Crystite (cy). use your scan hammer to find resources in the land and then call a thumper down on that spot to reap the rewards. &quot;"},{"author_name":"AestheticGamer","author_uid":"22278","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 11:09am","epoch":1367319840,"text":"I am assuming this is partially randomly generated, which is cool, but I felt there was a lot missing from the title. I got an axe, but after that I went exploring and got too far from the shop to head back. I think there would be a better way to make this more fun\/engaging, and to lead the player. The randomly generated world is cool, but also having no shops makes it no worthwhile to really go out and adventure into it."},{"author_name":"skintkingle","author_uid":"1579","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 11:16am","epoch":1367320260,"text":"I will be making a video tonight to highlight the first steps in the game.

Very cool how you call down the thumper to collect resources. I think you should make the gun fire faster, even if it still ultimately does the same rate of damage. I also couldn't help but notice that his back arm is very... awkwardly placed. You would probably be better off not rendering the back arm at all."},{"author_name":"bushmango","author_uid":"5852","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 2:31am","epoch":1367375160,"text":"Every starter thing costs too much :( It was nifty but maybe you should have started with the right starting gear?
