 Randor the Red | May 16, 2012 Founder Bows!I just released in the Founder Shop a new special item, the Founders Bows! One Golden, one Shadow and a CC version [Members Only].
Things were very busy this past week but I did not forget about the Founders and Members of HeroSmash. Soon the Battle Poll will be coming to an end, both sides are fighting hard but only one will win and be made into an ingame item.
| Randor the Red | May 10, 2012 Server RestartTodays server restart was to correct a bug in the BP meter, which kept stopping after a server restart. Thanks to Llussion for his coding powers. Any problems please report on the AE Forums.
| Randor the Red | May 09, 2012 Mid-week UpdateToday we added a few more Player suggestion items to the game. Polistar and Zheenx helped out with the suggestions. Cinco de Mayo shop be here for another week to allow more time to farm to get the perm rares. Bug fixing is still ongoing as so does the Battle Poll event which as in the past will be a close one. | Randor the Red | May 04, 2012 Cinco de Mayo and Randor the Red's Birthday!What a week! few more of item bugs have been dealt with and then built a Cinco de Mayo/ Birthday shop and filled it with seasonal goodies! There maybe one more item to be added later when finished that will be perm rare.
Polistar is working hard on getting player suggestion stuff on track. Zheenx also now helping with suggestions so expect to see some soon. |  Cinderella | May 03, 2012 News Update!Many have asked about the HeroSmash anniversary. Since the game still in Beta there is no official anniversary until the game is considered officially Live (meaning out of testing). Randor is planning something for Founders just as soon as he is able to get coding to work way he likes first. It will be- dare I say it?- “Smashing”. As for the Player suggestions for this week, it has put on hold little longer. Sorry! Polistar ran into computer problems and Randor been busy creating a new seasonal shop and all the items for it. Keep an eye out for next update as we celebrate Cinco de Mayo. May 5th sounds familiar for another reason... take the time on the 5th to wish a very happy birthday to my wonderful HeroSmash boss, Randor the Red! The Cinco de Mayo shop will also contain weird, wacky, and wonderful items themed around everyone’s favorite #FF0000-obsessed individual.
| Randor the Red | April 27, 2012 Player Suggestions!Hiya fellow gamers! Another week is pass and with that another DN update. This week the plan was to release a bunch of player suggestion items, but unforeseen issues have caused a delay for at least another week. But I don’t want to leave you all empty handed so I picked at random 4 weapon ideas that fit well into HS. Hopefully next week we can get other types of suggestion in as well. One item I’ve been working on is a gun and blade (err... gunblade?) designed by Coolboypai: the "Dragon's Breath". This sword... gun... blade... starts as a sword, but transforms into a gun when attacking. Wow! More complex feats of code tweaking should allow more more interesting weapons in the future and hopefully inspire ever more cool suggestion ideas, so keep ‘em coming!
The battle poll is still going strong and so far it’s anyone’s game. Keep fighting, players! In addition to updating the suggestion shops, next week is going to be pretty special. As you may know, next week is Cinco de Mayo (May 5th) which just happens to also be my birthday. So expect at least one crazy item as usual Have a great weekend all. NEW: In from Dumoose! "Ice barrage now propperly requires Team Veteran Medals instead of Veteran Defender Medals". thanks to CrownedPrince on the AE Forums for reporting the issue. | Randor the Red | April 20, 2012 Spring Cleaning!As our veteran players know, we are still in Beta which inevitably comes with the ever so popular bugs. Recently players have been seeing some overdue fixes to improve certain items (especially ones that carried over from Alpha). The bridge between artist and coder is not always clear; since Dumoose has been running me through the basics, I am able to be both when is comes to certain items starting with the guns. With this new-found knowledge, I have been tweaking long guns so that they will no longer look like they sticking in the ground and reposition them more correctly while keeping firing animation the same (though some items had to have "extra" animation to make more sense and run more smoothly). With help of our testers like PostMaster we are compiling a list of things to fix over the next few months such as CC (ie. color customization) errors in armors and items. This week there will be no extra release as we have been uber busy (eg. rolled out PvP and BP war begining of week *see last DN Post*) fixing and testing to get a new system of doing the guns which will now go much faster... go team go! Next week we’ll be releasing some Player Suggestion Items! Polistar has already started on this project, and I myself will be doing some. The plan is to have player suggestions much more often, but our first priority is to clean out the older files and optimize the item system. After we get things organized we can move forward. Cinderella has been helping out with writing (as a testament to her infinite patience with me, she is correcting all my typos now) and with her help, we will be getting the HS storyline back in motion. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Yergen for his mentoring while he uses his amazing skills on AQ3D (Artix.com). While working on AQ3D he still the time to make sure I don’t blow up HS anytime soon (he has dibs on that lol)! Many players have been asking for a Movie Plex update, Soon as things speed up again, we will do a Summer Blockbuster themed update (I’m sure they not going to run out of those any time soon). To all our players who support HeroSmash we at Artix Entertainment thank you and will continue to provide best fun games possible. Battle On! | Randor the Red | April 16, 2012 New Battle Poll and InfoThis week a new Battle Poll has started. This time it is not an sword but the start of an armor set! In this poll you decide the type of armor you perfer heavy leather vs steel and cloth tunic. Winning armor will be made and other lost in time forever. The poll after this one you get to vote how the armor evolves (extra padding, clickable shields, etc.). Next few days the long overdue of Polistar items will be added to PvP Shop, the armors and helms were added on the weekend.
| Cinderella | April 13, 2012 Friday 13th!Even with the warmth of spring over the horizon, today the wind feels a little bit colder. That is the signature of the return of the Cirque du Muerte and its insane proprietor, the man known only as Zazul. In addition to the Friday the 13th seasonal items, keep an eye out for NEW items added to the PvP shop over the weekend courtesy of Polistar. Randor the Red has taken it upon himself to update the Lion Tamer whip, transforming it into the Flame Whip.You can find this and more in the PvP shop! Battle Polls are wrapping up, so look for the winner in the Battle Poll shop, and PvP On to duke it out for the next special item!
