Hey what's up guys, AsePlayer here, and I'm excited to have you along for another awesome Flash game spotlight. Today, we're diving into the world of Territory War 3 – a game that's been loved by many and holds a special spot in online gaming history. Multiplayer Eulogy Remember the time when Territory War 3 was a cool online game on Xgen Studios? I sure do! You could challenge your friends, unlock cool stuff for your team, and even buy some extra swag with irl cash. But, sadly, when the game's servers went away, all the fun stuff went with them. You couldn't even change your team's looks when playing offline! :( Bringing Back the Fun Now, here's where things get interesting. As a big fan of old flash games, I felt sad about this problem. The best part of Territory War 3 was making your team look cool! Plus, the way you could change your look in this game was the best out of all the games in the series. So, I decided to do something about it. Armed with a flash decompiler and a dream, I went into the game's code. My goal? To remove the parts that stopped you from using cool items (and the server checks that came along with it). And guess what? I did it! Now, you can use all the awesome items in the game – like hats, accessories, and cool weapon styles. It's like a blast from the past! This is a big deal because these items have been hidden away for a long time. Every feature is put into a game with love and care, so it's a joy when you get to experience the full vision! Screenshot Your Boot: Stay tuned for more, keep it cool, and let's keep the flash gaming spirit alive!

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, some treasures from the past often get buried beneath the excitement of the new. But for me, the joy of taking a step back and reliving those cherished childhood moments is something really special. That's why I've embarked on a journey to add Flash games to my website, not just as a mere addition, but as a tribute to the digital relics that shaped my upbringing. Keeping Flash Alive With browsers phasing out support for Adobe Flash Player, these once-thriving online pastimes are facing an uncertain fate. But my passion for preserving these artifacts goes beyond nostalgia; it's about keeping a slice of digital history alive for generations to come. (Play now at aseplayer.com/flash-games) The Fun of Flash In a world where trends come and go in the blink of an eye, the preservation of Flash games reminds us of the beauty in simplicity. These games weren't about hyper-realistic graphics or complex mechanics; they were about raw fun and unadulterated creativity! Learn More About Each Game Each flash game has its own dedicated page with screenshots, a description, and a link to the download (as well as some suggested games). I decided to go the extra mile and linked the best fan wiki available! I also linked to what the creators of each game are up to now in the credits (DID YOU KNOW ONE OF THEM WORKS AT GOOGLE?!) Initial Games Our initial offering includes 11 certified hood classics from AsePlayer's childhood! These include the talented workings of the legendary Afro Ninja, Louissi, 2DArray and more! Have a request? Suggest your favorite flash games on the Ase Place forums! I plan to update the website with a new game every week or so! Search Search for your favorite flash game by series, creator, or even by category! Have Fun! Enjoy gaming on the flash player without the bloat of an entire flash archive weighing down your PC (looking at you, Flashpoint)! Like What We Do? SUPPORT US TODAY!

Click HERE for V's Poem (Narrated by AsePlayer) Transcript: The story I'm about to tell is not of Heaven or of Hell. It's not of any place you know And if you did, you dare not go. It's full of love, war and death. And begins with the first breath. RV lay wrapped in his cocoon dreaming of what might be. An eternal slumber, an infinite loneliness with nothing for him to see. In the abyss he dreamt of seeing his reflection. His lack of companionship, his only imperfection. This sudden realization Jolted him awake. In that moment time began like the birth of a snowflake. He removed his thousand eyes and cast them into the darkness, creating the stars and space. He chose one planet among the rest for his final resting place. He called it Inamorta, the first word ever spoken, To feel alive he needed children, or he'd remain heartbroken. He knew not of pain or suffering, only the need for a son and daughter. From his body in his likeness he created the Elements, Earth and Water. For a million years the two elements would populate the world. V would watch, impressed until the inevitable unfurled. The elemental populations reached beyond capacity. Water would claim the oceans, while Earth would claim the Trees. They fought ferocious battles and borders only grew. Though, they could not live without each other, so what were they to do? V became angry at what they had become. A perfect world of harmony, and look, what they had done. He created a 3rd element, Fire from his own two hands Punishment for anything disobeying his commands. But, his newest creation was spawned from hate and spite, And evil was born into Inamorta on that night. V could not control the Elementals in those early days Fire took over land and sea and set the world ablaze. Afraid making a 4th element would only make things worse He had no choice and created Air, as Fire was a curse. This time V's thoughts were benevolent and pure. The Air elementals were loyal and thought to be the cure. They enforced the laws of V and fought for a world of peace. But Fire only worshiped themselves and would not be policed. Fire used the Elements to make their powers grow. They witnessed the creation of Air and tried to create something of their own. They wanted to be Gods, like V, but their only magic was hate. Creating The Chaos Empire was their only fate. This new Empire could live and die and truly had a soul. Their love of life and fear of death made them too powerful to control. The Air Elementals could not stop them at their border. And prayed that V would bring freedom, justice and Order. The Hate of fire burned so hot that nothing would survive. V had a choice: destroy it all, or make himself alive. One final act before he'd come down and strip himself of Godly power. He'd Create The Order Empire with a single magic flower.

"It seems that MaxGames and Stick War 3 are going down the path of a bit of an EA-Blizzard hybrid and I just don't like it, I don't think many of the players like it..." - AsePlayer Stick War 3 has suffered from a number of broken promises and delays that have left many testers, both in the open beta and closed beta, feeling BETRAYED. Despite the developers' quick reaction to blame their shortcomings on their short staff, AsePlayer argues that one can still "work smarter, not harder" while providing the most enjoyable player experience. More on this later in the post. "Whoever is managing the Stick War 3 project is doing so extremely inefficiently and they should know better," - AsePlayer For example, delaying a campaign 4 times and rolling out mediocre daily missions in its place is not only counter-intuitive but tone-deaf as well. The Act Man did a brilliant video on the problem with live-service games and how their greedy approach is plaguing the current game development sphere. Give it a watch: Essentially, it’s not about making the best game anymore, it’s about player retention and milking the customers out of their time and money (that's you!). Daily Missions Stick War 3's daily missions rolled out initially with a positive reception due to the novelty of the situation. However, as the days dragged on, players quickly realized that it was getting repetitive: and FAST. Most missions appeared as a copy and paste of the previous one but the conditions were slightly different, or different units were ambushing you from behind. Bad writing coincided with bad gameplay, and players were left wondering if this was the fate of the long-awaited campaign: "Instead of focusing on the core game, the developers are opting to half-ass a live-service experience to drive up player engagement," - AsePlayer Overall, there isn't a whole lot of redeeming qualities within these daily missions: just a daily reminder that Stick War 3 is a hollow game and your favorite franchise is going in the wrong direction. The game is suffering in many areas, and the addition of mediocre daily levels wasn't what the community had in mind as a solution! Community Response to Missions A survey of Stick War 3 players overwhelmingly indicated that they felt BACKSTABBED by the daily missions. Then shocked. Then appalled. Ouch! Stick War YouTuber & Modder s07 also had this to say: However, that wasn't the ONLY kick in the balls we received with this newest update... Intrusive Ads Alongside a delayed campaign, this update includes ads! But not just any advertisements, intrusive and annoying ads that crash and lag the game for many players with low-end devices! "In addition to being a broken, glitchy minimum viable product, this game is now being filled with advertisements, " - AsePlayer Now, the developers are saying they are probably planning to remove them, at least for the testers as it can be irritating. And yeah, you better turn off the ads since the testers are freely testing your game and providing feedback! Many are questioning the motives of the developers to release a buggy mess riddled with advertisements to the open beta without testing it longer in the closed beta first. Apparently, "there is no great conspiracy" and "it went through closed beta over 1 day": All this despite keeping the new Units locked away for a long time... Seems legit. Stick War 3 Isn't That... Fun I don't know about you guys, but Stick War 3 is a hard game to want to play at the moment because it's just generally not that fun and it's missing a lot of core features. "...it's so frustrating to play. now we got frustrating ads in between the frustrating gameplay and all we're left wondering is can we have the fun yet?" -AsePlayer I understand that the developers have been working on the campaign and are very close to it. My guess is that they haven't played Stick War 3 the game itself in a long time. Apparently, they have not gotten the memo yet: Stick War 3 feels more like a rip-off than any of its predecessors! (And I played a ton of rip-offs!) I think Stick War 3's future does not look very bright and I am deeply concerned about it. It does seem as though there is a significant amount of incompetent leadership at play and the team at MaxGames cannot seem to create a decent minimum viable product (or MVP): When Players are given an incomplete product they can't even use, they get upset. On top of that, there are plenty of games in beta that are actually enjoyable and fun, unlike this Legacy copy-and-paste job. They adhered to the MVP. This is not simply a matter of adding content by the way, but also how that content is added. In my recent video, I explained how Stick War 3 fails to meet the basic need of a game: to provide fun. A big part of that is due to not respecting the MVP. Who cares about lore or daily levels when the game isn't enjoyable at its core? Maybe an out-of-touch CEO! All of this (and more) raises the question: what players will even remain for Stick War 3? The game is starting to become stale, even with nostalgia-tinted glasses. Do the developers even know what made their series so fun in the first place? If so, they haven't leaned into it quite yet... I hope it's coming! What do you think? "As of right now, I struggle to want to play this game for free, let alone with ads..." - AsePlayer Vote Today! The developers seem to be going all-in on the daily missions, despite their lackluster feel and appearance. Do you think this is a solid strategy for improving the game? VOTE TODAY!

Having been unable to explain away any of his problematic actions in Stick War discord, Crazy Jason posted an official Stick War 3 leak to save his face and negate any backlash from his young audience on October 4th, 2022: "What has been leaked about shade have we seen her pic yet? I can't remember off the top. I gotta end this with somekinda leak" - Jason Whitham The Official Leak The Response Although critics feared speaking out over it in Jason's presence, they had plenty to say when he left. To some, it was clear that she didn't look... quite right. "Tf it's official? Wait don't tell me that's gonna be the permanent for shade" "yeah shade in the official design looks like a guy ngl lmao" "Is it just me or the current official shade design look more like a mercenary than an assassin?" It is probably because Crazy Jason has been acting like a dictator and making decisions based on his own desires and his alone that he is so feared by his own followers on his official Discord channel. Find out more about his own recent actions here: https://youtu.be/KiY7uk_sR50 Fanart Rendition (by Tempskie) Vote for Tempskie's art in the Art Arena! In my opinion, the expressiveness of this fanart design is undoubtedly a significant improvement over the old stiff design! But don't take my word for it! Here's what some in the Stick War discord had to say: "Holy shit that is awesome!" "Now that looks like a design much closer to what I would expect out of the leader of the Shadowwraths" "Actual head hair on a stickfigure in the Stick War series is also an original concept, but I think you executed it pretty well" It looks like the talented fans of the community are keeping the main developer of Stick War honest! Mediocre leaks are no longer enough to satiate backlash! I wonder how he will respond! What do you think? Join the Stick War 2 10th Year Anniversary! Deadline to Submit: November 29th! Share the Ultimate Stick War Fan Site with your friends!

Because some people are still unaware of the current situation, As you may know, AsePlayer worked with MaxGames - the Stick War development team - for about 7 years. He was deemed a "Stick War expert" by CJ (the owner), and assisted the team through development, testing, gameplay advocacy, and promotion through his Youtube channel. On August 15th, he was unexpectedly removed from the development boards by CJ - again, after 7 years of working with the team. He was not offered an explanation until a week after, to "hide top secret SW3 leaks", despite not once leaking anything he wasn't allowed to in the 7 years he'd spent with them. On September 8th, he released his first controversial video that directly clashed with the ideas presented by CJ, discussing the wildly unpopular Juggerknight reskin, and CJ's unwillingness to respond to his own - and the community's - requests for a change. CJ responded by removing him from the remaining development boards the team had worked together on, which had all been inactive. He was never offered an explanation, but we have to assume CJ did this to make a statement - "you criticized me, it's over" A leader that can't take criticism is no leader at all. A developer that can't take criticism is no developer at all. Games have to respond to the community's desires, as do developers, or the game won't be something the community wants. Ase acted as a voice for the community, calling out what the majority of voters deemed a problem, and he was removed from the remainder of the developer boards for doing so. He later released a video voicing his complaints about CJ - his lack of communication with fellow developers as well as the community as a whole being the largest problem. Since then, his content has been critical of SW3 - but not unjust, in most of the community's eyes - and he's essentially been broadcasting the ugly truths of the game and its dictator-esque development. He was banned without explanation last night, along with another member that had nothing to do with the situation, and simply happened to be there when CJ was on the warpath. This isn't the first time CJ has banned members with no explanation. @Secret - another mod - and myself (@yeah) were banned last year. We received an explanation a month later - we were apparently "spamming", despite sending about five messages. CJ has deleted artworks - with no explanation, kicked members - with no explanation, and generally avoided any communication with the Mod team and community as a whole. We don't get answers for why he does the things he does (and if we do they're a month late and unjustified), but we do have to work around them regardless. We've been asking for communication for a while, and we haven't gotten any. Honestly, we're tired of it. You should be too. It's entirely possible I'll be banned for this. You'll know why if I'm gone, but it needs to be said. You all deserve to know. Make yourselves heard if he's seen here again, hold him accountable for his problems, and maybe there will be some change. TL;DR: CJ’s recent actions - banning Ase, bandaid fixes - coupled with his lack of communication with the community, staff, and fellow devs - shouldn’t go unnoticed. you should all be aware of what’s happening, and hopefully something good will come out of that. - yeah & server staff
