 Randor the Red | October 31, 2013 PumpCON and AS Boo!For the past week I have been under the weather (flu and cold season), but am working the best I can to get PumpCON updated and working. Last year, we removed the PumpCON badge code due to an error. This year, I was learning more about what causing our major bugs. We use Flash making software that keeps changing with each new version. Since HeroSmash was created, I have seen and used five versions of the software. The newest versions use AS3 (Action Script), but HS was originally AS2. Before I can replace and update the old AS2 to AS3, I have to learn more. That being said, Dumoose helped update the AS for the PumpCON badge to work. The new code does work, but it is still missing a few things. I really want to make it work better so we can get more badges up and running for events and bosses.
| Randor the Red | November 16, 2012 Nightwraith and PumpCON are GONe!PumpCON is now gone until next season. Nightwraith once again traveling the dimensions. His personal gear now PERM rare. Infact it is rare that staff allow players to have some awesome personal gear, so all give a BIG thanks to Nightwraith! His Npc will return again one day with new gear from EpicDuel. Ok with luck you will see a Thankgiving release begining of next week. The Super City Mall is getting major tweaks as we attempting to have a quest zone release as soon as possible. Have a great weekend! Also check out Oversoul BETA release! http://oversoul.artix.com
| Randor the Red | November 13, 2012 Smashdome and Sneek Peak!This week Smashdome has been update to same level of code and features as that of Overlook. Mall is coming together with the expanded areas. The new areas are designed for different levels of difficulty.
Here a sneak peek of the zombies (still few more being animated). Next week Thankgiving items are coming! Also this Friday at noon Nightwraith gear goes rare and fair-well to PumpCON for another year. Question? instead of an empty lot during the times between Friday 13th and PumpCON, should there be a perm theme park? | Randor the Red | November 10, 2012 Overlook Again!?!Woke up this morn thinking, so much to do but overlook is done... Until reports came in say that the menu was acting up. Bugs, Bugs and more Bugs! HeroSmash keeps evolving and so does Flash. Most of us updated to lastest flash making software which is a few generations from ones I started with. Each new Flash making software causes old coding to act up. This time it was my fault! Why? Well I wanted not only update Overlook with Faith but also throw in some of the new features we created. Sadly this made older layers go little crazy. Lucky for me I usually break alot of things and have Dumoose and Yergen look at me and *sigh*. But that how we learn, by understanding why things break you can understand how to fix and so was the case today. As I was fixing people asked when Nightwraith coming? Well NOW! As of now Nightwraith is at Overlook until next Friday. This does not mean hes gone for good, just last time to get he awesome gear. We plan to bring back his npc in the future with new gear from EpicDuel (maybe Titan gear?). Also PumpCON leaves when Thanksgiving stuff(ings) releases. The Super City Mall is coming along good just waiting on some more monsters and items. The art for the monsters was done by Wonderp Bread and animated by Yergen. I off to get more things done as art is flowing into my inbox. Enjoy your weekend and as always be safe and have fun (playing HeroSmash)!

Smash On my friends, and happy PumpCON to everyone! |  Yergen | October 24, 2011 A PVP update, and new stuff for PumpCONHey power people! It's new day, at a new lab. How about some updates? PVP secrets revealed! HeroSmash PVP is going really good. Llusion has been cranking through it, and really doing a great job. He's made big steps, but we have a long ways to go. I thought I would fill you in on some stuff we have been talking about. There are two main issues we have worked out. The first is that we are going to have scrollable maps in our HSPVP battles. There is no running and hiding in HeroSmash! It will help make the battles really feel like a battlefield that you can explore AND fight in. Speaking of battlefileds, is there any HeroSmash maps and locations that you would like to see turned into a HSPVP battlezone? Let me know! The second big thing is we have determined what the main HSPVP playing options will be. There will be a 1-v-1 for battling a buddy. 3-v-3 for group battles. And then there is the one I am really excited about - BATTLE ROYAL!!! Imagine it. A mass group of heroes and villains fighting in one giant map. It will be utter chaos! Ahhhh - I love the smell of chaos. It's a mixture of cookies, and ginger. PumpCON secret unlocked! That' it for the HSPVP updates. But there is going to be a game update this week. More PumpCON items will be arriving in the fairgrounds this week. Get yourself in the spooky mood! Keep sending in the PumpCON Cosplay contest entries. They are looking AMAZING! Well that's all not really a secret - but I was just sticking with the theme. | Beleen | October 13, 2011 PumpCON on!Tricks and treats and frightful beasts!Happy PumpCON everyone! Tonight the is the opening night of the PumpCON festival, taking place right now over at the Fairgrounds. Here you will meet the hosts of PumpCON, Spook and Spiryt, who have handfuls of candy to give you…if you complete their challenging missions!
And all that candy you collect from Spook and Spiryt does a lot more than just cause cavities—you can trade the candy in for MUCH sweeter Armors, Helms, Weapons, and Shields in their shops! But don't expect Spook and Spiryt to hand their candy over willingly. Their missions will test your strength, endurance, and super powers as you face off against the Wickedly Wild Wolfman and go against an onslaught of Pernicious Pumpkins. To the victor goes the spoils—or, in this case, the CANDY! Will you be crowned the PumpCON PumpKING? ^___^ This ghoulish gang also has a Daily Scavenger Hunt Quest that awards more candy AND Good or Evil Reputation. Heroes ought to help out Spiryt while the big bad villains should assist Spook. PumpCON Seasonal Rares!When you've collected enough candy, you can trade your sugary treats into other spooktastical treats!
Nineteen PumpCON Seasonal Rares await your inventory slots. You can't have an awesome Convention without a BUNCH of merchandise, now can you? Just about every item in this shop requires a handful of different types of candy trade-ins, ranging from Bubble Gum to Licorice to Chocolate Bars to (my favorite) LOLipops!
Speaking of Jack-o-lanterns…Did you see that pumpkin sitting in Overlook? Have you clicked on it yet?
Clicking on the Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter buttons will allow you to post a link on your account, and whoever clicks on that link will given a free RARE gift: the Viral Jack-o-Lantern helm! And it gets much sweeter! Not only will you receive the free ra Because nothing says "Happy PumpCON!" better than an ignited gourd covering your head! One more thing…!A bunch of you have been wondering where the other servers have disappeared to. Well, seeing as to how the GIANT AdventureQuest Worlds event with musical guests They Might Be Giants releases tomorrow night, HeroSmash donated a few of its severs to help AQWorlds out! Because sharing is SUPER! And we know super =p Happy PumpCON everyone!
