I can’t wait to share with you the details of the next Aim Lab Skills Challenge - But to help tide you over until then, as you may have seen during the tournament, we’ve launched our first Premium service - Playerbase!
Playerbase
Welcome to Playerbase!
Playerbase is a player development platform aimed at connecting players with world class coaches and content creators.
Playerbase makes it easy for creators, coaches and communities to market and monetize their unique skill sets and talents - And makes it just as easy for players to find the coaches best suited to them!
Playerbase Partners will be able to set various tiers of subscription offerings, allowing players to choose their level of commitment based on the services they want. These services can include, but are not limited to: custom Aim Lab training tasks, unique Aim Lab task lists tailored to the subscriber, 1-on-1 coaching sessions, detailed guides from gaming professionals, opportunities for group classes, vod review sessions, private Discord channels and full skill analysis for subscribers. Think of it kind of like Patreon, but dedicated to help gamers to improve.
Playerbase has a little something for everyone - If you’re a player, get involved and get connected! And if you’re a coach? Apply to become a part of the Playerbase program and start getting paid for your talents!
What’s new in 94.6?
Our focus this week is on Quality of Life changes, and cutting down on the number of clicks you need to take to get to where you want to be. Starting with ;
Settings Menu Overhaul
The Settings menu has been completely overhauled in tasks with the new “Live Preview” system!
This means that as you make changes to your FOV, your targets, your crosshair - Anything, you’ll be able to see the changes you are making live! This should make tweaking your settings and visuals much, much easier, and should eliminate needing to drop out of the menu to preview your settings.
Alongside this, we have added a new tab to the settings menu - “Visuals”
This new section will allow you to adjust the color, lighting, textures and everything else about how your map looks - Both in Aim Lab core tasks and Creator Studio tasks!
Custom Import/Export
This update brings a new “Import/Export” option to the Custom section! For Creators and Coaches, this means you can create resources for individual players to share privately, rather than needing to go through the workshop and uploading your creations publicly.
For players - This means much easier sharing of content with your friends, and should allow you to much more easily compete against each other directly!
