Revitalizing the Ace of Spades community

[longbyte1]

About two years ago, many of you played Ben Aksoy's [thread=9592]Ace of Spades[/thread].

If you are not familiar with the story, here it is in short form: Jagex made Ben an offer he couldn't refuse, and immediately the website was dismantled, leaving us between version 0.75 and 0.76 (a last-minute update which was not noticed by a majority of players). This led to the formation of Build and Shoot, a community discussing the pre-Jagex game. As you know, Jagex's Ace of Spades was very poorly received, and most of the community stopped playing Ace of Spades altogether.

It's been a few years now, and my estimate is that by late 2016 the Ace of Spades community will have completely dissolved. I feel as if I have the chance to change it all, one person to drive the outcome of Ace of Spades away from oblivion.

I am trying to develop a WebGL client for Ace of Spades, the 0.75 version, for various reasons which I will not cover here because it feels like I am advertising.

However, I'd also like to assess the effectiveness of my project before I even pass the halfway mark: how many of you would be interested in such a thing? My rationale is that unlike the other clients, it would not require any installation at all, and it would run well on most machines without OS-related problems. It could also make it into Google's PageRank. Thus it should give the AoS community a big boost, and also for the enjoyment of many more players behind firewalls and such.

Please tell me your thoughts on my endeavor. I don't want to make this sound like advertising; I just want to tell you KSPers about a project I've been working on.

I used to play the official 0.75. Then suddenly the site disappeared, and we were presented the current ace of spades (to be honest the new ace of spades is terrible, the old one was MUCH better). I now play BnS every once in a while.

That was a great game . I used to have the shovel and smg noises stuck in my head at night.

But idk, it would be nice to have a WebGL client, although I use the OpenSpades client (inbuilt server browser AND better graphics? Instadownload.)
