Hello friends and fans, I'm sure many of you are eagerly awaiting the launch of Ascended Survivor's first episode. I did previously state that it would release in 2023, but that is looking to be very unlikely now. So much stuff has happened in my personal life that took attention away from working on AS, so that's not good.
But don't worry, good things are happening in the background! Progress on the game has been going steady, and most of the main content is finished. Episode One will release before you know it!
A new artist has also come on board the project! Sugarflow is an incredibly talented artist who has agreed to work on cutscenes and promotional material for the game. Already she's done a great job redesigning the main character.
I've also been working with another artist to remake the sprites, and they're looking amazing! More of that will be shared later.
But now, let's get to the most pressing news.
ASCENDED SURVIVOR WILL BE IN STEAM'S SHMUP FEST!
The last Steam Next Fest was such a great opportunity to grow, that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do it again! I won't be able to stream the game this time, so I've organized something else to excite you: the Ascended Survivor demo will be updated to include an additional level! Now you will be able to experience more of the game to get a feel with it.
But be warned, once the Steam Shmup Fest ends, the extra level will become unavailable, so don't miss your chance to play it!
The demo will also be updated with brand new, exciting features for you to enjoy. Including...
The game will now save your best level completion times, your best kill counts, and the lowest amount of times you died for each level!
Not only that, The game will also grade your performance, and give you a star if you manage to master a level in a particular area!
I hope these features encourage you to play the levels again and again, to find all their secrets and master each of them!
That's all for now, I hope you'll be there for the expanded demo!
