Ace of Spades Trailer Competition!
Hi everyone,
As you may have notice the current trailer on the play page is out of date. We need a new trailer to showcase all the stuff that makes AoS great!
Guidelines:
try to keep videos short but sweet to attract the internet’s short attention span
emphasis on killing (guns, grenade, spade)
emphasis on construction (click and drag, 1 by 1 placement; tower, bridge, stairs, bunker)
emphasis on destruction (collapse, tunnel, holes)
highlight game modes (capture the flag, territory control, babel)
visuals (explosion particles, bullet casings, tracers)
sounds (gun shot, bullet hit, bullet miss, reload, grenade explosion)
take advantage of spectator views
Judging:
The forum and IRC staff will pick their favorites, Ben will have final say.
We will announce the winner on April 4th, aka the one year anniversary of Ace of Spades
Entries must be submitted by April 2nd
Submission:
Upload to YouTube and then post the url of it inside this topic: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=4606

Hi guys,
We have a video of a new feature in the works. Click and drag building. Looks pretty awesome. Hold the right mouse button down, you will see one wire frame block, that is point A, move you around and you will see the wire frame grow, now release the mouse at point B. You have now built a path of blocks from point A to B.
See you on the battefield,
danhezee
