 Randor the Red | December 03, 2015 AQ3D KickstarterHello, everyone! Did you know that AE is working on creating a multi-platform 3d version of AdventureQuest? It is true! We have a Kickstarter and we need YOUR help to reach our goal! We are already more than 50% of the way to the goal, so please tell your friends and have them tell their friends, puppies, fish or any living thing that loves great quality games to give their support! You can find the Official Link to our Kickstarter: Here!
WHAT IS AQ3D? * Inspired re-imagining of our AdventureQuest Worlds * An online massively multiplayer role-playing game * Cross Platform - iOS, Android, PC and Mac, you can play with your friends, regardless of what platform you are on! “You are on your phone, I am on my computer… let’s slay that Dragon!” (more platforms to be added, we are currently working on Oculus Rift compatibility!) * New launch target date: Spring Break 2016 * There will be NO Membership or Upgrade what-so-ever! That’s right! No need to purchase monthly memberships or even a one time membership! The game will run purely on secondary currency, like Adventure Coins, Z-Tokens, and Nova Gems, that will only buy cosmetic items or early access to certain classes. Almost everything that you can buy with this secondary currency can be earn! * We are raising the funding because we need more time to finish it right. We do not want to rush it live, we want to make a game that, when it launches, is worthy of all of our amazing players that make up this incredible community! AdventureQuest 3D has the massive potential to be A MEGA HIT! If you have already supported our Kickstarter, we thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!

| Randor the Red | September 05, 2015 CON-tinuation of my Atlan-ture
Hello Smashers, Randor here! For the last couple of years, I've been wandering the halls of what is known as Atlanti-Con and just my luck! I have gotten the brochure for this year’s con. Who knew Earth had a postal system to my Red Planet?! I'm super excited to go back! I've gotten to meet pretty amazing people and have seen some awesome costumes while I was there during my past trips and it's always had been a great experience! I'm excited to go and I'll be sure to let you all know about what crazy adventures I have in store this year so be prepared for an epic flood of robot costumes and rainbow-colored hair for a sci-fi anime filled convention is gathering this autumn.

Hiya all SMASHers!
| Randor the Red | December 17, 2014 Gold Ticket Shops!
This week Super Hero MMO HeroSmash has added Gold Ticket Shops to the game. One shop uses Gold Tickets that are rare drops from the monsters in the game. The other shop contains items that can be bought with SmashCoins or Fame (Members Only). We wanted a way for free players and members a chance to get some cool gear. But that not all! The Gold Ticket Shop contains items from not only HeroSmash, but from many of Artix Entertainment's most popular games! | Randor the Red | November 30, 2014 Developer Update ~ NovemberDeveloper Monthly Re-Cap!
SmashGiving! (Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday)Some new items have been added including different variations of the Seasonal Rare Sword of Shadows (this year only) and a new Cranberry Sauce Slice Shield (say that three times fast) to the SmashGiving Shop. Hope you all had a great time with your families and friends and enjoyed your adventures at the mall!
HeroMart Specials!Speaking of deals, HeroMart is now selling the 2015 Calendars! Be prepared for the new year and get your copy now. While you're at it, check out the pre-orders for the Paladin and Legion T-Shirts (they'll make great gifts for the holidays).
Park Chaos!This past month, the park has been getting many new changes in the way maps are set up. I want to remove invisible wormholes that are causing flying headaches. We also changed some of the arrows to buttons in order to make flying easier. There are still a few more invisble pads to remove and then all the maps can be finally revised with a brand new template. Thanks for all your feedback. Once this phaze is complete, expect new zones and quests to follow!
Upcoming Events!Titanical Promo Gear Titanical Gear will soon be replacing the current promo set, so keep an eye out for updates on this. Character Page Badges Yes the character pages will soon be getting some lovin' very soon. Smashmas Last year, we added a few more monsters to the SmashMas quest map. This caused an issue where some monsters were very large. This year, the maps will be updated and a few more gift boxes added to help make sure quests can be completed without issues. Happy Holidays! Feedback! Let us know on the AE Forums what you think of the changes and ideas. I'm also doing my best to include your ideas all the time
| Randor the Red | October 10, 2014 Mutli-Game Event!
We have a special event across all AE games! The Curse of the Phantom PIXEL! Hunt down cursed items to unlock the OmniKnight Blade (comes with an in-game shop, badge, and it is click-able with CC energy blade). HeroSmash has placed an Epic Shield on the monsters in the HOTtest zone. Enjoy the hunt!
| Randor the Red | August 01, 2014 Current NewsHiya SMASHers!
Whenever possible, I been reviewing the history of char designs and pooling all the ideas into a new design (see image). I'm not one that believes heroes are only muscle bound, as true bravery is in the heart, not limbs. Striking a balance like this is important, but this in no way means we changing past designs or stopping to use of current ones. These new 'variants' only add more of a super power comic-ky feel to the game. Feedback is welcome, as we are all working to make this game!
| Randor the Red | July 09, 2014 Changes to Membership and Battle Gems!
The HS/AQW 'VIP' system has ended. To clarify, the cross promotion between HeroSmash and AQWorlds has ended. Buying an AQW membership no longer gives you anything in HeroSmash.
PvP has come to Battle Gems! Read about buying gold and PvP HERE!
| Randor the Red | June 30, 2014 Freedom Day!
Hiya SMASHers, This week, we are preparing for Freedom Friday (Canada Day + USA’s 4th of July), where both countries celebrate who we are and the liberties our freedom gives us. As a Canadian working for an American company, Freedom Day has a great deal of meaning for me. I truly wish all countries of the world could enjoy the freedom to express themselves, enjoy life, and work together just like Canada and the USA. But I think Freedom Day should include Mexico, too (let's hear it for North America united!) So, from this point on, I plan to have the art team incorporate some 'Mexican Independence Day' themed items for Freedom Day. HeroSmash is a fictional world in which we are all a part of its creation. My vision for HeroSmash is to be an example of a better world where everyone is a Hero (or Villain?!) with goals larger than the world itself. Freedom itself is a major theme for HeroSmash. Artix Entertainment has promised to keep HeroSmash running for as long as possible. But, this is a difficult task for many reasons. Due to the majority of games going mobile, AE has been forced to adapt in order to survive, resulting in many changes. Such changes caused AQ3D to be pushed aside for mobile projects like Battle Gems. When time allows, I hope that project comes back to life! HeroSmash admittedly had a bad start. Combine that with all the team members being moved to the 3D project (then later onto mobile and other projects), it has not boded well for HS. It was decide that I would run HeroSmash. I am proud (and happy!) to be working on HeroSmash, but it is not my only duty at AE. Game promotion is an aspect I'm deeply involved in (wallpapers, web art, and ads), and much of HS still needs fixing before implementing a major storyline push. Much of HS I have done on my own. The Art Team is made up of talented volunteers wishing to get hands-on experience in the gaming development sector. The team has changed many times since our inception, but I'm still fighting to make HS better. Lately, the current team has been adapting to life (work, school, and health). But there is good news! All are ready to step up and have already started on new ideas for artwork. I want everyone to know HeroSmash is NOT dead . . . it's like an undead zombie clawing its way up from under the ground. One day, we will rise to stand in the moonlight, at which point you'll probably be punching us for trying to eat your brains (but we promise not to hold any grudges over that). Unfortunately, it will take time. And patience. The only thing that can change is you—our fellow players. Nothing drives progress as much as demand, and to give us the resources we need to speed things up, we need YOUR support. Show us you want to play HeroSmash. Show us that you want it to grow. And it WILL! No matter what life throws at you, be a real hero and help the world around you. Heroism isn't just what people see… it's the little things that you do even if you're the only one who will ever know. Not for vanity or profit, but because that what makes true heroes into super heroes. Battle On!
