![]() ![]() Not only Kickstarter promises or other previously announced features but also things they meant to do but never got to it. Completion here is not unlike addition - they are the same - but it specifically refers to the things that were meant to be in the game but were either cut or reduced. So these are exactly the kinds of things we’re looking to change and improve, not to mention UI and user experience polishes and additions, among other usability changes like the inclusion of some popular mods that perhaps should’ve been in the game since the beginning.īesides enhancement, the equally important other pillar is Completion. ![]() And pet behaviour is broken, they starve easily and they don’t look for shelter on poor weather. It’s easy to find examples building is clearly unfinished: it doesn’t let us reform constructions or use the fences with a proper tool water is not meaningful enough: it doesn’t have any real uses other than decoration. Because these are the three main pillars of what it is envisioned to be Let’s start with Enhancement.Įnhancement here means improving what is already in the game but either feels unfinished, not meaningful enough or broken. So I like to think of ACE as Addition, Completion and Enhancement. It keeps me grounded to our goals - and yes, it is not an easy job to keep myself grounded among so many great creators and so many amazing ideas - I know that sometimes I might sound like the annoying person cutting all the great ideas short - but it is very important that we do not walk away from the Stoneheath experience and feeling. I like to think of the ACE acronym in a different way, sometimes. Now… Although this is more personal, I’ll share it for this video. ACE is open to all and any (just head to the forum thread)! It doesn’t matter if all you want to do is hang out to check on news and updates or if you feel like you wouldn’t be able to contribute with much - you’re welcome nonetheless! So hop in if you haven’t already! The idea was mostly born out of all the features that were either cut or reduced - and from the mix of sadness, disappointment, happiness, fulfillment and overall tear-jerking, a rallying cry started to unite many members of the community into this common effort. The project came to be shortly after the 1.0 announcement and the news that the game would be ceasing its development. The Stonehearth mod is more than just the game, it is a classroom and template pack for modding. A lot - if not all - Stonehearth modding starts from the base game which is a mod itself. We want it to be a finished product, one that completes the base Stonehearth experience and becomes another foundation - just like the main game itself - for the future and for modders. It is a key part of what ACE is: we want it to feel like that. Of course, we’ll figure out the best way down the road - but that’s the main goal.Īnd when I say “second half of the game” I mean it. ![]() The basic idea here is that should ACE become something that really feels worthy before Stonehearth’s standards and style, if it really enhances the game and add many of its missing or cut out features - then the developers would endorse it by making it an automatic subscription for all Stonehearth owners on Steam - or, in essence, officially turn it into a second half of the game. And the community part means that it is something being done by the community and not by the developers themselves - as for the Authorized, it is because of something we were told before all of this started. An expansion - as you can probably tell - aims to expand the game. So many of you might already know it, but it’s always good to make things certain, so we’ll try to cover this as clearly and informative as possible, alright? So let’s go!ĪCE! ACE stands for Authorized Community Expansion. Hello! I’m Dani, and I’d like to dedicate our first video to introduce everyone to what is perhaps the most important question regarding ACE: What is ACE? If you have been lurking around the forums and other Stonehearth communities, you probably know or have at least stumbled upon this acronym, ACE. Before anything, I’d like to apologize for my voice not being as nice as Stephanie’s, but I’ll try my best! Oh, and please don’t mind my english! ![]()
