AdventureQuest: GUARDIANS posted by Artix on
 

I need your help! "AdventureQuest: GUARDIANS" is up for the official name of our mobile, fantasy, 2D role playing game. Does it strike you in the heart as the right name? It certainly fits the game's main storyline. As you have surely noticed, we have gone back and forth a dozen times on the name for this game... calling it everything from AdventureQuest: BATTLEON to AdventureQuest 2 to AdventureQuest Mobile. After personally using those names for the past few months, I can honestly say it has been confusing. This game needs a unique name that is both special to our community, and has broad appeal to people who have never seen our games yet. "GUARDIANS" is the most meaningful considering the game's main story. Unlike our previous mobile games-- BattleGems and Dragons... this is a full blown real RPG. For lack of better words, it is a re-imagining of the original AdventureQuest with an advanced and flexible combat system. If you are one of many players who have stopped using PCs completely (I know, to us PC users this sounds crazy, but you would not believe the %'s of players who only play on their mobile devices now) then yes, this is the game you have been anxiously waiting for. If this is the name we go with, it would make sense to allow you to login to both the original AQ and AQW from the game to unlock story driven content from your... uh.. "ancestor."

If this game is named GUARDIANS, then this would be our lineup:

  • AdventureQuest Original- Web RPG
  • AdventureQuest Guardians - Mobile RPG
  • AdventureQuest Worlds - Web MMORPG
  • AdventureQuest 3D - Mobile/Unity MMORPG

Please help make this decision. We are "sleeping on it" tonight. If you feel this is right name for the game... go to the official FaceBook post on this and write "GUARDIANS!" in the comments box below. If you have another name that you are 100% sure is better write it! Like most decisions... there are often multiple good answers. I am sorta terrible at making decisions on things like this which is why I always come to you. Thank you in advance for being a part of the video game making process.

HOW TO SCREENSHOT posted by Cysero on

Learn The Secrets Of The Screenshotting Masters!

Taking a screenshot may seem like pretty simple stuff once you learn how to do it but we all hard to learn sometime. 

Artix-Cysero-Screenshot-AQW-Video

Earlier this week Artix and I decided to spend a little time in AQW talking to you guys and it seemed to both of us that a lot of you had no idea how to take a screenshot and capture the moment you met your all-time very, very, VERY favorite AE Dev...

...Or Artix.

We decided to make a quick video explaining some fairly fast and easy methods, namely LightShot and the Snipping Tool. You can watch the video here

We were amazed by how many people started using our methods and thaking us for teaching them how to do this, so we're putting it here for anyone else who might want to learn how to take screenies of their favorite gaming moments.  

There are other methods, like just hitting the PRT SC (Print Screen) key on your keyboard which captures your whole display and Pasting into a new file in a basic art program like Paint, but using the Snipping tool is faster and using Lightshot is even faster still and also great for storing and sharing your files with your friends. And it's all FREE!

Happy Screenshotting!

BioBeasts_New_Arcade_Mobile_Game

Titan, Nightwraith, Charfade and Rabblefroth have been secretly developing a new mobile game entitled “BioBeasts” while also working on EpicDuel (woah, they must drink A LOT of coffee!). Today we’re excited to showcase the progress the EpicDuel team has made so far!

Unlock new beasts with special powers and obtain potent mutations to experiment with as the game progresses.

The team is already well into development and have a number of screenshots posted on their shiny new website: BioBeasts.Artix.com! Check it out and peruse the BioBeasts FAQ.
