Ground of Aces News

GROUND OF ACES is featured in the SIMFEST! And with that, you have the chance to try out our demo for the whole week of the festival.

This demo is based on our Alpha 2 version, which means this is a WORK-IN-PROGRESS version of the game because we are currently in the alpha development stage. Please keep in mind that many systems are incomplete and that more content is yet to follow. You can expect around 2-3 hours of gameplay in this demo, depending on your experience with base building games. The demo will be available for a limited time.

Hello commanders, we have big news!

For the first time ever, a free public demo of GROUND OF ACES is available on Steam!

This is because our game is part of TactiCon 2024, a Steam digital festival all about strategy games. We are very honoured that Ground of Aces is part of a selection that includes titles like Hearts of Iron IV and Manor Lords.

We hope you enjoy this Alpha 2 demo and we can't wait to hear your feedback!

A big thank you to our first batch of alpha players! For playing the alpha, for filling out the main survey and for giving us so much useful feedback for the further development of GROUND OF ACES.

Our team member Ben has been going through ALL OF IT – the main survey results and all the direct feedback from the in-game-form – and made an extensive overview for the dev team. Our dev team immediately started working on the first improvements based on your feedback and they continue to focus on getting Alpha 2 ready for you. The plan is that we can release Alpha 2 around the start of summer (exact date tba). We are also working on a roadmap that we want to share with you soon.

[h2]Introducing characters to our GROUND OF ACES journey[/h2]
Meanwhile, our communication team and Dave, our 2D artist, have been working on something new. We want to start introducing key characters and bring more storytelling into our communication about Ground of Aces on social media sites, with the idea that these characters will also be part of the game at a later stage. This concept is very fresh and a work-in-progress, so we are asking you for your feedback and your thoughts while introducing these characters. We have been posting the profiles of the first four characters on our social media channels and we still have a few left to reveal. You are welcome to leave your feedback in the comments.

Hello Ground of Aces fans

We want to share a game recommendation with you: Our fellow Swiss developer friends from Kerzoven are releasing their game "Of Life and Land" on the 2nd of April!

It's a charming settlement-building and simulation game that may interest you as well, for a change of scenery alongside the air base management of our own game. Give it a look!

Of Life and Land is a charming settlement-building strategy game paired with a rich simulation experience. Every animal and plant tries to find their place in nature while you lead your villagers to their future. Expand to different regions and trade with local factions to gain needed resources.

We have reached the first big milestone of GROUND OF ACES: The alpha 1 version is ready!
