Believe it or not, but I thought about an NGE RISE game myself. For me, RISE is about getting to know the character, coming of age really. NGE fits perfectly to that, especially focusing on the pilots! But I feel there should be something on top of RISE to emphasize on the relationship between the pilots and the Eva's. In Rise of the Apes we included the Strength tracker as additional mechanic and I could see something similar with that as well. But now we are getting into game design discussion, and that really should happen in the Design Question thread 🤣. Feel free to ask us questions there. The more specific the better, so the community or we can give you good answers. Or open up a new thread.
