THANK YOU ALPHA PLAYERS! + Introducing Story Characters
A big thank you to our alpha players! For playing the alpha, for filling out the main survey and for giving us so much useful feedback for the further development of GROUND OF ACES.
Our team member Ben has been going through ALL OF IT – the main survey results and all the direct feedback from the in-game-form – and made an extensive overview for the dev team. Our dev team immediately started working on the first improvements based on your feedback and they continue to focus on getting Alpha 2 ready for you. The plan is that we can release Alpha 2 around the start of summer (exact date tba). We are also working on a roadmap that we want to share with you soon.
Introducing characters to our GROUND OF ACES journey
Meanwhile, our communication team and Dave, our 2D artist, have been working on something new. We want to start introducing key characters and bring more storytelling into our communication about Ground of Aces on social media sites, with the idea that these characters will also be part of the game at a later stage. This concept is very fresh and a work-in-progress, so of course we will ask for your feedback and your thoughts while introducing these characters. Dave has prepared illustrations and we are working on their profiles and names now. You can find the first character here. You are welcome to leave your feedback and ideas under these social media posts:
We also want to have an RAF dog mascot for our game. But first we need to know from the community which dog type would be the best choice for our Royal Air Force mascot. You want to tell us your opinion? Go here to find the social media posts where you can leave your comment.
