*** SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION BELOW ***
Some of you may know me as I used to play here, the name of this account isn’t my nick but I have gone by several usernames such as meme man, panzer battalion and the like. I used to frequent babel servers although time does not permit any longer.

This is why that’s the case:

I have been developing my own game know as Stargazer program, it’s a multiplayer duelling shmup maybe first of its kind.
Check this out:


You are the shuttle on the bottom and you play against an enemy on the top.
 Unlike most shmups this one doesn’t emphasize on the bullet hell aspects and instead promotes strategy and wit.  There are about 12 levels in total, all with different aspects and a different strategy for beating it. Beating the CPU is no easy task and you really must use your environment to your advantage to do it. Not to mention that everything between you and the foe is a threat too.

The best thing of all is that this supports network multiplayer, both by direct ip and steam. If you got a friend you can play locally with controllers instead.
If that sounds like something you would like to play hit me up on discord:  https://discord.gg/NcDhmrc or get the demo over at itch and have a go: https://beargears.itch.io/stargazerprogram

Thanks for sticking around aos its been fun and maybe I will hop in when I got the time.

a hardware upgrade has been completed on our primary server. it's now sportin' 32GB RAM for your smoother in-game experience! (hopefully this will fix certain lags, such as the "warping" on AoS babel)

the funding calculator on the front page of aloha.pk has been updated to include this additional cost. it's only January and our 2018 expenses are already 54% funded!

huge thanks to Nathan, topo, VerstehIchNicht, Spring, Colorpinpoint, and shywolf91 for donating the funds to make this and our continued operations possible. <3

so backwards to the point that we need to defend net neutrality AGAIN.

net neutrality prevents internet providers from controlling and charging for what we see and do online. without it, the internet would become divided into subscription-based packages similar to cable TV, and whatever access you're fortunate enough to afford would still be isolated from the whole internet.

defending net neutrality is common sense; it's defending the open modern internet the world has been using for nearly two decades. even if you're not in the USA, losing net neutrality there would have a huge negative effect on the internet as you know it.

if you are an American, please encourage Congress to stop the FCC from killing net neutrality. www.battleforthenet.com (thanks BR for the link) makes it super easy to email and call important decision makers -- a script is even provided for your email that you can also use to read aloud during your calls. press * after finishing each call to move on to the next. thanks!

There's this game that recently came out called "Superflight." It is on sale 10% off right now on Steam and it's very fun. The object of the game is to get the highest score possible by flying close to obstacles.
I recently tried it out and it's very relaxing and it's good for passing time. I recommend it and it's worth the 3 dollars.

there once was a time when the early versions of Ace of Spades didn't have autoclimb, the feature that automatically and quickly walks you over single-height blocks. back then, Ace of Spades was a slower paced game, and tunnels had a significant impact on gameplay. that was the style of AoS i initially discovered and quickly fell in love with. of course, AoS is still fun with autoclimb - in a different way - because that subtle change greatly affected its gameplay.

anyway, this Friday, October 20, 2017, veteran player and former AoS community assistant TheGrandmaster will be hosting an event using an earlier version of AoS that doesn't have autoclimb and the SMG weapon. whether for nostalgia or curiosity, now's your chance to (re)experience a piece of that era. here's tGM's post on Build and Shoot about it:

Y'all probably remember me, but in-case you don't - began playing AoS @ v0.22 and played it for many years, involved in various parts of the community. Been away for quite some time and I'd still call myself somewhat aloof from BnS, but I have been busy!

I help run a Rocket League community, who have begun having several weekly streams. We're called Division6, and every Friday we host an Alternative Games Night (AGN) @ 7pm BST. Last week I convinced 10 newbies to play Soldat (props to you if you know that game), and this week I am aiming to fill a 32-slot server from one of the earlier AoS versions.



Gen map, crazy sensitivity, no auto-climb, just the pure gold fun that was the early days.
I'm hoping to attract a crowd and get a full server so we can properly get a taste of that feeling, so please tell your old buddies to come back along for a nostalgic wonderland.

The client download will be linked to at the very beginning of the Stream, will have an easy 1-click joinable batch file, and the game shall be streamed by me on the D6 twitch channel (http://twitch.division6.org) for a number of hours hopefully (the server will be kept up for the night regardless).

Hope to see you all there, and if you have any questions, shoot!

EDIT: Here's the download link in advance for all those curious!
It's a modded 0.52, with autoclimb taken out, frame rate cap upped to 60 FPS, and master server link removed.

SERVER LINK WILL BE PROVIDED ON THE NIGHT
