Hello dear backers! We are excited to announce that the closed alpha will start next week on Thursday, the 14th of March.
Note: We are starting to host our news posts on our own website, so simply click the link above to get all the information.
We ran a mini-playtest a few weeks ago and now we are doing a limited 2nd round that includes a fresh group of people. This means some of you (who have backed for the alpha version) got randomly selected to test out our current pre-alpha version. Please check your mail to see if you have received a mail from [email protected]. All further information about the playtest is in that mail. This will be a short playtest, so don't wait too long if you're one of the lucky ones who got selected.
We are doing these mini-tests to find and fix any game-breaking bugs before we send out the alpha version to all the alpha backers.
If you don't see any mail from us about this playtest, then you haven't been selected. You will receive the key for the alpha version when it's ready.
Soon we can tell you when we will start the closed alpha. As you can see, we are testing the current build of the game to prepare for the start of the alpha. Thank you for your patience!
From March 18 to March 22, the Game Developers Conference is taking place in San Francisco. And a few of us will fly over the Atlantic Ocean to be there for business meetings and to showcase Ground of Aces at events! Maybe some of you will be there as well? We will update the event list here. There's also a contact form to arrange business meetings with us.
In case you missed it, check out the latest episode of Base Builder Monday:
Ben from our team makes weekly videos in which he plays the latest version of the game to show you how the development is progressing. You can find the whole playlist here.
Hello everyone! We hope you all had a good start to the new year and wish you all the best for 2024!
Our dev team has resumed work on the alpha version and is on it right now. In the meantime, you can check out the progress of the development in Ben's weekly BASE BUILDER MONDAY video series. Here is the latest episode:
Watch the previous episodes to see how Ben is experimenting with the available items/resources and trying to construct special requests from the community:
Episode 1: A Racetrack on an Airfield?
Episode 2: A Tavern in the Shape of a Lancaster?
Episode 3: A BF 109 Latrine?
Please share your ideas and requests for Ben in the comments of the videos.
We also started posting short videos in which the man behind the idea of Ground of Aces and Blindflug co-founder Moritz presents comic books and other media that have a big influence on our game. Find the playlist here on our Tiktok account!
More videos are on the way, so don't forget to follow our social media channels to see future "Things that inspired Ground of Aces" videos: Tiktok | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube
And we would love to hear your favourites! Please share your favourite WWII "bandes dessinées"/comic books with us.
We have selected a small group of playtesters for the mini-playtest that we will do before we start the closed alpha. (Read about this in our previous update post.) Thank you to everyone who applied for the playtest! If you've been selected, you should have received an email today that asks for your confirmation. If needed, we pick additional testers.
We will keep you updated. Until next time!
