Release notes October 4, 2014

Join us at www.ageofascent.com for a 30 min playtest Saturday, Oct 4, 2014 at 8pm UTC, 3pm Central US, 4pm East US, 9pm UK

These release notes for this week’s test:

• Scores
  • Recording restored!
  • Scores are now shown inline in the forum and players are forwarded to this page post match (See Alpha test feedback Sept 6 for previous example)
• Mouse control
  • After quite a journey, numerous public outings and internal iterations, we believe its finally there!
    Sensitivity adjustments and ship manoeuvrability aside, which will be in your control settings and determined by choice of ship and fittings respectively
  • We’ve gone for a natural progression of the most regular mouse control we have been using (e.g. last time’s)
  • The mouse will no longer go out of bounds in mouse flight, or trigger the “You are in full screen billboard” when you hit the top of window bounds
  • This version of mouse flight will not currently work in Internet Explorer just yet, but Microsoft are working on it
  • The traditional arrow pointer will disappear and be replaced by a targeting circle that you move around while in mouse flight (Enter/Return to switch to mouse pointer, drag mode)
  • The “on target” spinner is now in the mouse pointer (we will tie that up with targeting, weapon types etc in the future)
