E3 2005 - HG's a Chick Magnet?!

Posted on June 16, 2005 1:44AM by Aro

The answer seems to be yes, because HG's collection of E3 photos are up, and it seems the Halos spent a great deal of time focusing on taking pictures of all the Booth Babes they could find (147 photos -- there are captions too, but it's difficult to pay attention).

Be sure to check out the pictures of the Halos visiting E3, and the write-ups of several upcoming games (such as Rise of Legends, RTW: Barbarian Invasion, and, of course, Age of Empires III) in the HG Main Previews section.

A new staff member has joined the ranks of Age of Kings Heaven, making our staff count over AoKH's history seemingly huge. Who is this staff member, and what will this staff member do? It's none other than Berserker_Jerker, well-known in the AoKH design community for his Sabato campaigns and residential reviewer. He will be assisting Tanneur99 with maintaining files in our Blacksmith section of the site.

Congrats BJ, and again, welcome to the team!

The HeavenGames Code of Conduct has been updated, and the changes clarify some aspects of our code and broaden the definitions of others. Perhaps the most important new rule to make note of is about 'logout links,' and members with forum logout links in their signatures must remove them by March 25th.

Members please take the time to read the Forum Support>>Code of Conduct Document. There is also detailed overview of the changes in the Forum Code of Conduct Thread.

As members of the HeavenGames forum community, we all must participate responsibly. If anyone has questions regarding our New CoC, please contact any of our forum moderators via email.


Blacksmith Updated

Posted on March 6, 2005 4:25AM by Aro

The Blacksmith has at long last been updated! You'll probably be familiar with the format if you've visited the Downloads section of most other HG websites. The new Downloads system has fixed several security loop holes, and it's now easier to manage. Although some old features have been removed, there are plenty of new ones to make up for them.

I know there are plenty of people out there who object to the new Downloads system, format, or whatever else. Please refrain from posting about it and instead e-mail me if you have any questions or concerns.

(And, of course, the format and design of the page is likely to change over the next few days. So are the incorrect navbar paths and all of that. It's too early to do them right now. ;-D)

Two New University Articles

Posted on February 17, 2005 11:54PM by CrystalCrown

From the University, we bring you two fresh articles. First, Cherub DaVe contributes another excellent article in his Deathmatch series. In Deathmatch Dominance: The Huns, he highlights the reasons why the Huns remain the dominant civilization in Deathmatch games. If you don't agree, I suggest you give this article a read. As for the designers out there, Billy Bombar explains how to include audio dialogues with your scenarios and why they are important in Making Your Own Sound Files. If you ever wanted to take up voice acting, this one's for you. Find these and more at The University.

Finally, after plenty of waiting, HeavenGames has finally unvailed the site dedicated to Ensemble Studio's next Age of Empires sequel, Age of Empires III.
HeavenGames LLC announced today that it has launched Age of Empires III Heaven, the latest in its series of special-interest sites for Real Time Strategy & Citybuilding games.

The game takes place during the discovery and colonization of the New World, covering events from Columbus' discovery of the Indies until the American Civil War. It features eight unique civilizations, including the Spanish, French, and Britis. Age of Empires III's graphics are being developed with the intention of being the best graphics of any game in any genre ever, which are portrayed in a fully 3D world with vertex shaders, pixel shaders, and an advanced physics engine.

Age of Empires III Heaven will be dedicated to featuring extensive coverage of Age of Empires III as the game is being developed. It will bring you the latest news on the game, as well as chats with developers in the forums.

AoE III Heaven will be operated by a veteran staff of five. They are Sergio "Socvazius" Prado, Site Director; Sarah "Angel Sunny" Green, Content Writer; Aron* "Angel Aro" Patterson, Content Writer; Ian "TheShadowDawn" Lyell, Content Writer; Luciano "Elpea" Pereira, Technical Assistant. All have been actively involved in the gaming community for more than 4 years.
