August News Update 2016
Seems like summer has come and gone too quickly, aye? It's that time again to inform our lovely users of what has happened in the past month and what is going to be happening this upcoming month! Whoop whoop! Bust out them sun glasses and keyboards guys.
Board & Site Changes
Recently, there has been a majorly important thread placed in the help board all you newbies should investigate. If you need a refresher on the IT controls and general Aroessa chat commands, feel free to poke around in this thread here, posted by our very own Leech: Click Me!
Over the past month, we've also added two new site features! One being for the security of our users(even if it might sometimes be a hassle) and the other due to many messages about it.
You can now add comments to posts in the progress board! This will keep the posts together so you can skim right down through and is also to allow users to now make their own critique on the content being posted! You no longer have to switch boards or go to PM to comment. Thanks to all those messages that finally pushed me to add this haha, let's hope you guys make the best of it.
The second part is just a URL alert. It shouldn't go off on Aroessa links or our affiliate sites, but if it does, contact an admin about the situation please!
Last month we had a new board added: Bug Report Board - This is due to our upcoming BETA! To keep our staffers inboxes free of bug messages(unless it is needing to be reported to a staffer!) please use this board to report any and all bugs that need to be squished! A sticky will be posted on what to report to staff in there, be mindful.
Game Updates
So instead of dedicating this section to events(since we won't have any for a little while), it's going to entirely cover what progress is being made right now!
As most of you are aware, the team is preparing for an open BETA release for all you to test out and roam in. This will not have every feature we plan it too considering there is alot to get done and so little time to do it in before vacation ends. We've been up late hours the past few weeks just working on bug fixes and finishing projects for the testing phase.
There won't be an auto-update with the first client download, however, we plan on adding one later on. It's broken and very much needs fixing before it's handed out.
Our progress thread has shown texture updating! This is so we don't have blocky, 'un-aro like' work running around. Mind you, we do this as a hobby! Not professional wise! We understand Aro has been in the works for almost a year, we get it. It looks cool, y'all wanna play. We promise it's nearly ready!
All we have to do now is finish the coding work(which I promised would be done already -sobs-).
Side Notes
Alot to catch up on in this section i'm afraid.
Last month, we have lost two staff members due to personal reasoning. Madame Folly and miss Sanctrum have stepped down from their positions. We wish them the best and safe travels!
On a better note, I think we have three pee names to address in the Aro family yes? Say congrats to none other than:
Shurtle, Aexos, and ^MeowChan^!
These three have been working hard in their training and continue to impress us with their hard work. Good job you guys! We look forward to seeing you with them yummy orange names <3
We also have had.. yet another promotion in the staff guild. Madame Leech has seemingly moved up a spot! Please say congrats to our newest Global Moderator on the team! Miss Leech has done so much around the community, showing us what she truly is made of. A perfect fit for such a position.
Congrats Cinna darling~ Thanks for being my Right Hand Man!
That be all for the news this month, if you have any questions, please contact a member of the staff!
