Ground of Aces News

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.

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 are excited to announce that the exclusive closed alpha for GROUND OF ACES will start next week on the 14th of March!

The last few weeks we did small pre-alpha playtests with selected members of the community and thanks to their feedback, our programmers and designers were able to iron out game-crashing bugs and make significant improvements. Now we have the first alpha version ready that can be released next week.

ATTENTION – KEYS ARE LIMITED
The available keys for this closed alpha batch are limited. 3/4 of the keys are already reserved, 1/4 are still available for new people. If you want to be in the group of alpha players who can influence and shape the development of GROUND OF ACES with their feedback, this is your chance to join.

But what is an alpha anyway?
