Redemption Connect! will be shutdown at the end of July until further notice. Please read details below..

Black Fire Development Official Closing Announcement:
At the beginning of June, Black Fire Development canceled their accounts with HostGator, the web host provider that currently runs the Redemption Connect! Platform. We have ported our client's accounts to new private cloud servers. Unfortunately the software platform that Redemption Connect! ran on under hostgator is no longer available. To allow for RC! to continue operation, much of it's code would need to be altered. In addition, due to it's sheer popularity, RC! consumes enough bandwidth and server CPU cycles that in order to continue it's operation, it would need it's own private server, which is a cost that Black Fire Development is unable cover. These factors combined have led to the decision to temporarily discontinue RC!

Currently we have plans to re-write the needed components and re-design the site. These plans including dropping many features until they are completely developed. These features include the Tournaments page, Playgroups page, Academy page, Card database, & profile page. When RC! is re-released it will contain the 2 most used components, RC Play! & RC! Card Designer. No future release date is known at this time.

Liked! I've been involved in many beta testing projects before, so I'm looking forward to this one.

LordZardeck · « **Reply #2 on:** October 31, 2010, 02:22:05 PM »

Thanks for the great response so far! I'm excited to see the interest. Also, if any of you are graphic designers, or program in PHP and Javascript and would like to join the development, please PM me.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #3 on:** October 31, 2010, 02:27:41 PM »

I know Python... I'll be moving on to Java next semester.

LordZardeck · « **Reply #4 on:** October 31, 2010, 02:33:48 PM »

Unfortunately neither of those languages are going to be used. Thank you anyway.

Working on adding the image url's to the cards. Once the scripts are complete, we'll need some people to help manually enter url's in on the ones the script missed. Any volunteers?

Ok, we are releasing the Card viewer now! This can be viewed without registration (which is disabled anyways) by clicking on the Cards link at the bottom of the page. You can find Redemption Connect at http://blackfireweb.com/redconnect

It would be nice to be able to register to use it. It tells me you are not accepting new users. What a shame.

LordZardeck · « **Reply #11 on:** November 01, 2010, 12:37:45 PM »

Yes, the full application is not quite ready to be released. We are working on finishing it. You can follow us on facebook to see when we do release the full application.

Korunks · « **Reply #12 on:** November 01, 2010, 12:38:58 PM »

Meh that would require me to have a facebook account. Thanks for the quick response though.

LordZardeck · « **Reply #13 on:** November 01, 2010, 12:41:16 PM »

Well, I'll post it here when we release it then so those who do not have a facebook account may know also.

No results for Crimson heroes, for some odd reasons. Where should we submit reports?

LordZardeck · « **Reply #15 on:** November 01, 2010, 02:12:18 PM »

That's cause there is no such thing as a crimson hero. XD. Do you mean Red hero or Crimson Evil Character?

Issue Tracking support for Redemption Connect! is now up and running at http://blackfireweb.com/tickets

SomeKittens · « **Reply #17 on:** November 01, 2010, 02:50:06 PM »

What exactly would you define as an "issue"?

Also: you might want to combine all these into one thread.

LordZardeck · « **Reply #18 on:** November 01, 2010, 02:53:22 PM »

Issue would be anything from bugs to feature requests.

I mean that there's some significant work to be done. It's still in alpha, of course, but there's no reason to enable the ability to search for a Crimson Hero. Same goes for brigade of Artifacts, etc.

Also, it's Strength/Toughness, not Attack/Defense.

LordZardeck · « **Reply #21 on:** November 01, 2010, 03:09:06 PM »

That would be a useful feature, wouldn't it? Go ahead and submit it to the tracker and i'll approve it.

LordZardeck · « **Reply #22 on:** November 01, 2010, 03:13:40 PM »

Also, what would the abbreviation for toughness be?

SomeKittens · « **Reply #23 on:** November 01, 2010, 03:19:51 PM »

Reported.

I'm unsure.
