News Bullets 19 January 2011

There is so much going on with AQW that I have to make a bulleted list! Yay!

• Battle Under, Level 3, is coming this week.
• Unlimited bank space is getting closer to being released.
• With unlimited bank space comes the Limited Shops. Once the shop sells out of an item, it's gone forever.
• EpicDuel T-shirts are on their way to the Secret Underground Lab. Rare Delta V armors come with them.
• Artix is getting ready to release the AQW collectible card game! Hopefully a new class comes with it. Launched at Toys-r-Us in March.
• The AE team is focusing resources on AQW which is why HeroSmash is stalling. Looks like skills might come out in HS late-February.
• Cheese-themed items from the Black Market dealer!
• Finished my AQW potions (and scrolls and foods) page.
• Put finishing touches on the HeroSmash page. It's all done for now. No need to update it until next month.

HeroSmash Page

Gimme skills!

I created a new HeroSmash page that has all the information you need to play the game. Check it out and leave a comment if you like it, hate it, saw a mistake, or know of something I should add.

I added a poll to the page about what features you would like to see. One of the choices is

"Make your own comic book from your character." 

That is possible and would be freakin' awesome! I can see a flash page with empty panels. You pick your backgrounds, drag your character and villains/ heroes/ NPCs into the panels, add some special effects (POW! BAM! SOCKO!) and dialog, and then you have your own comic!

Artix, please do that! I wanna make my own comics in HeroSmash.

AQW Sandsea and Bupers Camel Release

Things are getting exciting in AQW! This week we'll finally see the opening of a new zone, the Sandsea. We also get to see for the first time ever Bupers Camel. This legendary mythical beast has been roaming the back woods of Greenguard Forest granting mod status to anyone who can find it.

Along with the new zone will come new shops and- this is exciting- consumable food! Get your bag space expanded because you'll be able to buy equippable food items that will give you buffs. A new element to the game! Yesh!

Here's something really exciting: Beleen mentioned one of my characters in the design notes! My second-favorite character, Loki Bloodstone, is mentioned along with a really bad picture I did of Bupers Camel on my AQW page. This is more exciting than when I won a DF screenie contest way back in March, 2007.

It looks like I have a lot of work to do in AQW because I have three armors I need to rank up. My Evolved Clawsuit is not even enhanced yet. My Shaman is rank five and my Chronomancer is rank six. Lots of work to do there!
