[Rodo]

woot!

will be there waiting.

[starbug]

Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!!! cant wait, totally enjoyed act 1

[CKid]

Fantastic! Will there be a update for act 1 as well?

[Mongoose]

Woo!  I should run through Act 1 again to make sure my body is ready.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Fantastic! Will there be a update for act 1 as well?

Yes there will be, although it's mostly a bugfix release this time; the major improvements already came with the 3.6.12 update.

One question to ASW team. Did the Akrotiri get a new main gun? (I don't like this flying beamglow much   )

[Droid803]

Did you prefer the giant space shuriken?

[Mongoose]

I liked the shuriken.

[ssmit132]

I'm pretty sure there was a VP available that restored the shuriken (I myself have it).

Anyway, glad to hear that it's going to be released properly soon. I did play the test release and thought it was really good - this will be an excellent excuse to play both acts again.

I liked the shuriken.

I liked it too, but the best option would be bigger version of standard Ancient Cannon with particles and other glowing stuff. Akrotiri's main cannon is only thing I don't love in ASW

Nope, the flying beamglow is still in, but you can still replace it with the optional Space Shuriken add-on if you like that one better.

If anyone can make a better cannon effect before Thursday, we'll consider putting it in

[Nyctaeus]

Particle Plasma Cannons from Shadow Genesis? For ASW I would sacryfice them

[Col.Hornet]

3x YES  They are beautiful, specially with properly used pspew and trails , believe me

[Apollo]

Nice.

[rubixcube]

I played the beta for Act II, and I was very impressed, so this should be fantastic. How many changes did you make since you released the public beta?

Not too many, just some spit & polish here and there. Bugfixes, mostly.

Last-minute feature creep! Great thanks to our neighbours from Shadow Genesis for donating this beautiful Super Cannon!

[bigchunk1]

Huge praise to FSF for being an excellent project lead. This project would not be a shadow of what it is without his intervention.

Well, there's good news and there's bad news. Which one do you prefer to take first? Your choice!
