Reply to Star Control: Origins: August release schedule update in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

It's great to hear that founders will soon get access to a full fledged version of Super Melee. With any luck we might even have enough people to do some kind of friendly tournament hosted on the Discord server. The ship builder is sure to make even something like that more interesting than it would normally be. However, I confess that it is the adventure mode I am most looking forward to. For me it does not matter if the voice lines and even artwork are not all in yet. I would love t

These new juggernauts actually sound even more exciting than the last two. With my Substrate bias I am sure to fall in love with the Eye. The real news this month is of course that massive list of changes for 2.4. Really glad the lobby has gotten some love this time. With these changes I'll be starting events again soon. Probably wait until after the public release and the tournament though.

Event: Comp Stomp Invitational (22nd July) in Ashes Community AshesoftheSingularity Forums

When : 1800 BST / 1900 CEST / 1300 EST on the 22nd of July. Where : Ashes of the Singularity Discord Server https://discord.gg/WZfkTR8 and the in-game lobby "Community Nexus". We are doing this again, in part because I was a little tired after an unexpected event I needed to attend. The plan is the same though; Starting a lobby, getting as many players as we can and then throwing them against some challen

Reply to Super Melee Passives in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

[quote who="Volusianus" reply="8" id="3684803"] As much as I'd like these passives to add buffs with percentages, the fact of the matter is that we're dealing with very small numbers in Star Control (less than 100). I mean, sure, the system can round, and if it works, it works, just do it. However, I believe that adding raw numbers will lead to easier moddability, which is another hard-goal of the new Star Control. [/quote] There is probably a way to enable support for both

Obviously I like this idea although I didn't envision the damage buff being a hard number. It would work more like a percentage buff.

[quote who="sendingsignal" reply="12" id="3684764"] Sad to have been away as well. My pain in my hands turned out to not just be repetitive stress injury, but Ehlers-Danlos syndrome related. So I've been in physical therapy and not really playing much PC games or typing on computers. I can use a controller easier for some reason, but not long stretches of time. I'm still very excited about the game and being a founder, but sorry I haven't been able to participate as

Is this an official scenario editor that is going to be released? I ask because Zychrias on the Ashes discord server had started work on a scenario editor.

Reply to April Update Available in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

You mean the vault update specifically. I expect we will get a blog post later on :). Addendum: This update includes the Discord server Brad setup. But it's very barebones at the moment. Still, I'll be hanging out there if anyone wants to chat.

Reply to SINGULARITY DIARY: April 2017 in Escalation Dev Journals Stardock.net Forums

I wonder if it's possible we could get steam workshop support for things like balance/ui mods whilst the map filesize is worked on at a later time? I don't think people are really begging for custom map support (considering we have so many maps already) as much as just support to get players using mods in general.

A bit late to the punch but a very glowing review. Ashes has definitely benefited from all of the work done since its initial release.

Event: Game Evening 15/4 in Ashes of the Singularity Stardock.net Forums

We are scheduling an event for players on the Discord server. This is open for all active Ashes players to get together and play some relaxed games against one another. It is also an excuse to create comp stomps if that is more your speed. Myself and Chuglife/PriestXES will be trying to stream games and possibly making uploads after the event using the replays. If you are interested please get online and pay attention to the Discord channel as well as the in-game browser when lobbies op

Reply to HIRING: Community Managers in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

Discord is definitely something that I can handle. I run my own bot and already have a server set up for Ashes of the Singularity. I have also worked with helping other developers run their Discord servers, including most recently for the RTS game 8-Bit Armies made by Petroglyph Games. Having said that although I can handle most anything from an administration standpoint, when it comes to a user facing role I would prefer if I had someone to work with on that. In my experience having
