    1. Jace

      Awesome.

      Shall we move on?

      Yes.

      Alrighty, so we have another one here.

      And it looks like there's going to be a rework of The Man.

    2. Torsten

      yeah um the rework of the mem uh is the the goal is essentially to make the current mem uh give the current mem a little bit more a little bit more sciency feel to it uh um adding a little bit of detail and a little bit of uh interesting depth to it and um

      while keeping the main functionality, of course.

      As you can see, the MAM's prime feature and prime function is you throw in stuff and it gets analyzed and the data gets submitted, gets sent to fix it.

      for rewards and for new recipes and for new ways to construct things.

      And that's why this is going to have a lot more iconic parts in there that try to communicate these exact parts of these steps.

      For example, you have the analysis, which gets thrown over to the research data progressing, which sends it to the uplink.

      And of course there's a lot of little bit of fluff, some eye candy where you have the tinkering desk with a lot of little stuff lying around and some other things.

      And what we also aim for is to visualize information.

      on the mem a little bit more so that screens actually show you the the current progress like a progress bar that when you walk walk past the mem on your way to i don't know to buy your coffee cup at the mem awesome shop you could go past look at it and say yeah whatever it's 50 i can come back later so ideally uh yeah uh you get a lot of information via that

    3. Jace

      Yeah, I love that.

      Sorry, my camera died and I was distracted, but did you talk about the uplink animation

    4. Torsten

      as well?

      Yeah, another planned animation is to have the data uplink also being movement, being in motion,

      once it's actually working it's got stuff to do so players can guess or can see at a first glance like oh at one glance you know okay MAM is done I could I could just feed it some more weird specimens I picked up or hard drives

    5. Jace

      so yeah cool fancy my camera died
