Acid Claws needs playtesters for his game / Ron joins our SE server

Some gaming news that isn’t drama! Wee! Before I start, yes I know that E3 is currently going (and nothing’s grabbing my interest other than SpaceEngine being officially released and now available for SteamVR/Oculus). And because of this, this beautiful program that anyone could download for free, has an MSRP of $25 (currently on sale for -25% off at $18.74).
DOOM Eternal can be preordered (release date: November 22nd, 2019), and so can
Cyberpunk 2077 (release date: April 15th, 2020).

Acid Claws needs playtesters for his game
I may’ve mentioned this a few times in the General blog, but Acid Claws (Creepery’s former right-hand man) has been working on a personal project of his through Unity that he calls: ‘Castle Wars’. This game has been inspired by other games (mainly of TF2 and Fortnite).
NOTE: This game is in an EXPERIMENTAL stage and is slowly being worked on.
When starting, players have time to build their castles to block the enemy team from the ball in the middle of the arena. Grabbing the ball and holding onto it, gains your team points.
There are currently six classes in the game (with additions to the existing ones, and more to come in the future). So far ‘Human’ is the default class everyone will spawn in until they pick a special class. And those classes are;
‘Demolition'(rocket launcher)
‘Assault'(rifle)
‘Neo'(twin pistols/jetpack)
‘Ninja'(single silenced pistol)
‘Sniper'(self-explained)
and ‘Golem'(heavy weapon/C4).
Right now there’s no multiplayer (and no servers), but Acid’s working on it. He’s also working on an Engineer-like class that players will spawn in to start the build mode process. Once it’s over, players will spawn as the Human. The reasoning for this is Acid discovered that players can re-enable build mode after switching classes to or from the Human class.
If you are curious of testing Acid’s game, send me an email with the subject: ‘Castle Wars Alpha Access’.

If you agree with the no distribution rule, you will be given a temp invite link to the
Castle Wars Discord server where you’ll be able to grab the latest version of the game.
Please report all bugs (and any feature/gameplay suggestions) to Acid Claws (his Discord name would be given in the email response as well).

Ron joins our SE server
Few hours before I’ve been typically launching the server (9pm), he comes online and says he’s installing the game. Sweet!! This’ll be the first time I’ll be able to play a game besides VRChat with someone I love! 😀
Launched the server when he was ready. Taught him everything I know (and even set up a few tutorials for him). The others joined a half an hour later (with Kovo clueless what we’re doing as he doesn’t even read the group chat). Overall, I think he enjoyed himself. Hopefully he’ll be here tomorrow for some more fun in Space Engineers.
