Ancestral Players was played for the first time in a LAN tournament during Gamers Assembly Halloween Edition 2025 on November 8th. (Yes I'm two month late to announce it.)
The game was still in Alpha but we worked hard to get the best playable build we could. Armada finished the 4 first maps of the game for the occasion and I improved the Tournament mode and server creation for a smooth admin experience.
Congrats to top1 to 6: DOCKYZ_, Apocaliypse, Shoko, klusty, Niivak & Hemdal
Also congrats to: Myself & Armada for making the game
The tournament went well. 25 participants, 6 rounds of swiss qualifications with 4 per lobby then top 12 to semi-finals in bo3 in 2x6 lobby then final in bo3. The tournament was supposed to last 2h30min and we finished 4 minutes late. Not bad for a first time.
The main issue was top players completely broke the game by taking advantage of higher grounds, which renders the lava or water rising completely useless. It was still impressive to watch. Players getting so good after just a few hours of play.
In any case it was an awesome experience to get the game played during this event. Also the beer was good and not too expensive: I recommend.
See you
