Thanks for watching and commenting. I have made a video series ("Archives"), where I describe the development process behind EXOskeleton. The third archives-video has more about the exoskeleton and shows how the human body is supposed to fit inside. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/vThyfvMsBug/w-d-xo.html

@@exocommander Thanks a bunch.

@@exocommander Now I can imagine how the soldiers arms might fit inside the arms on the suit.

Homeworld was certainly a source of design inspiration for me, though oddly enough my designs for the vehicles predates the ones in Deserts of Kharak by more than ten years. My original Homeworld inspiration dates all the way back to Homeworld 2 in the early 2000's when the HW-franchise was entirely in outer space. My jaw dropped to the floor seeing DoK in 2016 when I was already more than a decade into development of my own thing. There were obviously a lot of visual similarities! Well, I guess that's just one of the quirks of reality and I'm not going to sue Blackbird Interactive for stealing my designs 😆.

Thank you for supporting! I'm glad you like it.

Maybe he'll hire you.

Thank you for your comment and for your honesty! I'm glad you liked the film. All the best to you.

Thanks man! Your comment just made my day! All the best to you - and the mrs and cat too 😃

'...Ahhhhhhh!' 😄

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it :-). And thank you so much for sharing - it means a lot to me! All the best. Skål!

Thank you 😊

Thank you for watching :-)

Thank you! All the best to you.

Thank you for an amazing comment and for subscribing Lorn Baker! You absolutely made my day. It's an honour to have you on board, and you are certainly on to something - I’m really surprised you got that far with so few clues in this opening episode! There is A LOT to reveal still, and I think you’ll be surprised just how deep and big things will go across the next 26 episodes. We’re in for a ride! Don’t know if you saw the trailer already - it has some enigmatic pieces of the puzzle on the audio side that are not part of the episode video: th-cam.com/video/XcFkYkANSy8/w-d-xo.html Thanks again. All the best to you! /Lars Kaag

When it comes to science fiction like this. I look at it with the hard eye of a scientist. Everything could possibly be a clue to unravel the mystery. And i'm so glad that I was so accurate with some of these guesses. I can wait until I get my next paycheck so I can Donate to this amazing thing. I can't wait for episode two!!! Seriously I am buying that book. Your idea and art style just hits a certain string in my soul. That just resonates in a beautiful symphony. Mystery hard sci fi action and Empathy of soldiers trying to understand a strange Situation. I absolutely love it! Love it! Love it! I can't wait to happily partial Out a bit of my paycheck so I can support this wonderful series! It's well worth the money! As for that trailer I shall begin my scientific analysis right now! Professor baker will figure out this entire mystery. Or have a brain aneurism trying.

I am very humbled by your response ​ @lornbaker1083. To read how my work resonates with you on so many levels is really amazing to me and a huge encouragement. I am equally humbled by the fact that you plan to support this project financially - I will do my utmost to put every entrusted dollar on the screen in the coming episodes! About the book, you mean the big one, right? I might be interested in selling it actually. It’s a one-off art piece that I made years ago intending it for studio- and company pitch meetings. It has a lot of neat tricks worked into it: The front cover is printed on an aluminum plate with its backside covered in black napa leather with foam underneath (talk about smooth!). The book/storyboard is 360 pages and it describes episodes 1-6 in comic-form. The book is parted in three separate and very sturdy volumes that can be mounted magnetically on top of each other. Each volume, naturally, containing two episodes. The entire thing is placed on an aluminum tray so it can be carried around. Every page in the book is printed on very thick paper and placed in plastic sleeves. Two places in the book multiple pages have been connected in order for them to be “drawn out” and reveal enormous vehicle-vistas. One of these panoramas is 252 cm / 100 inches. All things said, I am not a professional craftsman in regards to making a “book” like this, so just don’t expect ultimate grade finish in every corner of the thing, but I did my absolute best and it certainly is a “stunner” as a coffee table piece and it’s very durable and has stood the test through the years. If you would want to continue with the book-purchase we can maybe continue via mail: exoskeleton2020@gmail.com. All the best to you and I wish you a great weekend 🙂.

Muchas, muchas gracias :-). Todo lo mejor para ti!

Thank you for encouraging me. All the best to you

Thank you for your comment. You are perfectly right that it makes absolutely no military sense that they have no head protection. However, the reason for them not having it is in fact related to the plot. In episode 4 and 5 there is a deeper reveal about what is really going on. I hope you'll stick around to see it. All the best to you.

Is there air there? No visor or breathing apparatus even?

There is air but the suit has a mask-system that can assist the breathing in some cases. The mask is also used for supplying the body with nutrition and water. In episode 1 the masks have been detached, but the upper part of the mask can be seen below the faces in some of the shots. In episode 2 the mask system will be very apparent.

Thank you so much for your comment and for your very thoughtful and constructive suggestions! You are certainly right that I need to explain a lot more about the characters and about what was going on in this first episode! I deliberately made it so the audience would be left with a lot of questions - but it’s a balancing act and some will be put off by the lack of sufficient information, others find it intriguing. I wouldn’t claim that I struck the perfect balance with the way things turned out but the answers are coming: The coming eight episodes will take us back in time and tell the story leading up to the events in this opening episode and reveal a lot more about the characters and about the strange and ominous system they are part of. And then there is a lot more to tell once we reach that point: All in all it’s a 27-episode-show with a continuous storyline across all episodes. I hope you will stick around to see how things unfold. I understand that it may feel like an up-side-down-way of telling a story, but hopefully it will make some sense why I did it this way once you see the big picture. I don’t know if you have watched the trailer for the show. In it there are parts of a pep-talk that give some enigmatic clues. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/XcFkYkANSy8/w-d-xo.html All the best to you, and thanks again for your interest. /Lars Kaag

Ah, that trailer does add something... though as you said, I'm not sure what. Mostly I was referring to explaining their mission in episode 1 and their individual roles in the attack, rather than overall character goals. I get that the characters themselves and the lore around them will be more flushed out in other episodes, but I was referring to how the action itself was kind of unsupported in episode 1. The characters are just doing what they're doing, and it seems very random without some character dialogue beforehand laying out a basic plan of attack, or supporting dialogue of the characters ordering each other to do things once they're on the PIT, or giving orders in reaction to changing circumstances during the assault.

Thank you 😀. I'm glad you like it. There is MUCH more in the pipeline. All the best to you.

Yeah, i was thinking it looked kinda like Total Annihilation.

Thank you so much, that would be amazing! I think you're right about the smaller goal. I'll think about how to communicate that somehow. If you have any ideas or things you would like to see to bring this further out, I am all ears. All the best!

Thank you so much. Really glad you liked it. I hope to be able to deliver more soon. All the best to you!

Thank you so much for your comment and kind words. They mean a lot more to me than a 1.000 $ ! Homeworld 2 was certainly one of my inspirations visually. Since EXOskeleton only has land-based vehicles I thought my designs would distinguish themselves sufficiently from Homeworld’s space-vessels back in the early 2000's. But I got to admit that my heart sank when Homeworld - Deserts of Kharak came in 2016 with giant tracked land-vessels much like what I had already developed years prior. I couldn’t help but think that the two design ideas where treading on each others toes. Today I’m a bit more relaxed and feel pretty confidently that people will be able to distinguish between the two. Anyways, thanks again and all the best to you 😉!

Thank you I'm glad to hear that. I wish you all the best and good luck with your project!!

Thank you so much for your comment and for your advice! I believe you are absolutely right and I’ll do all I can to deliver and to live up to it. All the best to you!

Let me just say how grateful I am for your comment and review. I put a lot of effort into this so I’m absolutely delighted when people “get it” and appreciate it like you do. You made my day! All the best!

Thank you so much! I'm trying hard to bring the next episode within this year, but I better not promise anything.

Thank you so much @andrewvanlangen7831 . All the best to you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much. So glad you like it. /Lars
