A New Direction
Hiya Smashers!
This week we updated the Cinco de Mayo shop with the updated Cinco De Mayo outfit (and have added a CC Version). Next update will include weapons and Memorial Day items, and then after that, I will be ending the 5 weeks of the Cinco de Mayo shop with special items I have personally made in the past year that have not yet been released (I have been saving them for a special occasion!)
Also this week I was promoted from Creative Lead to Project Lead (Yergen is still Game Lead). This will lead to new resources and a little more power in decision making. One decision I have made is to begin a revision of Fame and Smashcoins items and pricing; currently we have non-member gear (non-CC), member gear (CC - color customizable) and Smashcoin Items (partially CC, more likely animated). This has caused a lot of issues for the art team and has also made members feel they are not getting what they deserve. Smashcoin items do not count towards bank space as the Smashcoins are actually paying for the space (Like buying extra bank/inventory space) for those items. So the planned changes once finalized and approved will hopefully make everyone much happier!
We will be making only two versions of items, Normal and Special versions. Normal will as always be basic non-CC items, while Special (CC, Animated and click-able options) will come in two pricing options (Fame and Smashcoins). The Smashcoin option will continue to take up no bank space. This will allow artists to just make two versions instead of three of each item, giving them more time to finish projects sooner. Members and Smashcoin spenders get the same items, but Smashcoin versions have the following advantages - Do not take up bank space and even if you are not a member it is still CC gear. Before this happens (will only affect new items once they have been approved) we need to work out the value of Fame to Smashcoins as we want to start making gear scale much more fairly in Fame price, but also at a fair rate for Smashcoin versions. A lot of players
have banked up Fame and many love to farm - we want all of you to be happy playing HeroSmash, so expect new ideas and changes (remember we are still in Beta!)
New Battle Poll is up - Wonderp Bread will make a Wolf or Unicorn head based on which side wins!
Have a great weekend everyone. :)

Congrats again Randor on the promotion. Well deserved! I`m liking this plan of yours. I`ve always thought the pricing system could use another look at. You need to come up with some standards, since prices in the past and in recent times have been a bit erratic and not following a fixed set of standards.
So you still have items stashed away that you have been working on and you plan to release them soon? Sounds good to me! Can`t wait to see them.
It looks like you are excited as much as we are about your promotion and I`m sure HS will only benefit from this! I`m hoping you will strive to also give us quest and storyline updates, because lore knows how much the player base wants that to happen! :-)
