    Ladders I see.

    Also. The robot on the left of the 2nd screenshot makes me think of Alphonse Elric.

  2. Definitely my favourite race so far. I already enjoyed their appearance, but now, combined with their backstory, go, go, Glitch! :rainbow:

    I like it, honestly I do, it's very different from what I originally thought they were going to be.
    I like the idea of them escaping from their other counterparts, it makes it seem more war oriented, and maybe that could be the beginning of a Glitch character... starting on a robot home world and then escaping from the crazy ones.

  10. Hold it, hold it, hold it.

    So, the Glitch malfunctioned, and became stuck in an loop keeping them in their medieval state?
    And then there were faulty Glitch, which gave a faulty malfuction?

    So does that mean that the faulty Glitch, are actually the CURED ONES?!

    WOAH.

    Double negative? Yet accurate. I like.

  12. I'm pretty sure that only the faulty robots are called the glitch; the un-faulty ones aren't "glitchy" and thus aren't referred to as such.

    No, "Glitch" is their name as a race. Like "Floran" or "Apex."

    I like how the official art for the Glitch is from the wallpaper that Suika Ibuki made. I love the lore and art style they have (especially the robot-painting).

    However this post makes me curious to know if that means we know what the Hylotl's are supposed to look like now too.
     
  15. Yes, but Avian refers to the culture that hasn't died out do to a lack of technology, and the Apex that are intelligent. We're talking about races and cultures here, not species. The name "Glitch" is referring to the culture left behind in the past by the other robots.

    That's how I take it, anyway.

    I really, REALLY like this race. This is probably what I'll choose, but I plan on raiding an Apex lab for my decorations. Medieval castle with futuristic lab equipment mmmmmmmmm.

    IndentedThe name made me smile—anyone reminded of Bob's tool-device-thingy, Glitch, from Reboot? ^^—and the background is interesting, but there were enough errors snagging my attention to make it less than completely pleasurable.
    IndentedIf it helps, I've enclosed in the following spoiler some suggested corrections in red. (Some items I'm unsure of and left alone.)
    IndentedThe Glitch were part of a program invented by an unknown race of enormous intelligence; they were built as a means of simulating a civilization's social and technological progress.
    IndentedThese experiments took place in a vast number of regions across the universe; despite changing a plethora of variables, each civilization eventually destroyed itself when its technological progression began to overtake its social progression—all but the Glitch.
    IndentedFor reasons unknown, a fault caused the Glitch to become stuck early in the simulation, where they now remain. The experiment long abandoned, the Glitch are unable to shake their Medieval values and beliefs. They’re entirely unaware of their origin and are built to experience the feelings and desires of any other sentient organism.
    IndentedThe Glitch reproduce by finding a mate and physically building a new Glitch together. Occasional faults in this process have resulted in Glitch freed from their program's limitations. Entirely self-aware and full of advanced knowledge, these Glitch are generally thought to be insane and are hunted, imprisoned and executed.
    IndentedSmall numbers of faulty Glitch have managed to escape their homeworlds and set up villages amongst the stars.
