AoS Headline News Recap - Issue #2

Postby LASTofS » Wed May 16, 2012 3:11 am

Issue #2!


What's up, Deuces? This is the second issue of the Ace of Spades bimonthly newsletter! We are looking for a catchy name for the newsletter, so feel free to throw a couple suggestions at me!

First things first, let's congratulate our two new forum moderators, Enari and Doctor! Woo! \o/

Last issue, we spoke of the Ace Launcher. Bcoolface has been busy coding, and here's a screenshot preview!

Nice password, danhezee!

Woohoo! The official Ace of Spades Facebook page has a new cover photo and a profile picture (made by yours truly)!

What's new on development side?
  • Ace Launcher
  • New accuracy algorithm (see this)
  • Supply crates


Media!

Ever since I requested the media forum section (along with lots of supporters), I have thought of some ways or "guidelines" to organize and make it a better place. So, I decided to create a thread (cheers to Doc who gave it a sticky)!
http://ace-spades.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=163&t=8123#p94091

1) Demo123 is trying to bring back AoS comics! Check out his thread here:

4) Mikuli's recording of the Mumble Babel Match on May 13th:

Nice job Last! This is useful, since I had no idea helicopters were getting implemented!

This is realy good and useful. Why? Since now people will know more about what is going on about the game without a need of searching for a certain thread for hours.

@Frosty:
Helicopters were a test. Whether they'll actually make it into a release, is to be decided.
The dev team are concentrating on getting it into a good enough state to release, rather than adding random new stuff.

<@mikuli> the bad part in this plan is that it involves an already busy tea-drinking scone chomper with a monocle

Yes, I'm supporting fixing glitches over adding ideas. But adding ideas can introduce new glitches.

Heh, the newsletter started as a thread in response to someone's suggestion that it would be helpful to not have to read through all the threads in the forums to figure out what was going on or new content as a joke. I thought the first thread would be the only one, however I'm surprised at its popularity and subsequent following.

This deserves to be in the news section of the AoS website. No joke. Excellent job! If you need help in finding interesting topics don't hesitate to pm me.
