Hello!
We’re back again this month with some pretty cool updates for Ascending Madness.
We’ve introduced the beginnings of Challenge Mode, a new way to enjoy Ascending Madness.
Challenge Mode focuses on intense unlockable arenas where you compete for high scores. Our hope is for it to become a fun and competitive way to enjoy the game apart from the campaign.
Also new this month is the Player HUB, a way to equip runes you find throughout the Campaign to upgrade your Battlecraft in interesting ways. The image above shows just a couple of runes you will find in the game.
The Hub also contains a codex where you can learn more about the game’s characters and lore, like the truly troubled nature of the renegade scientist you are hunting.
Finally, we started a new level this past month tentatively titled ‘Merrick’s Dream'. It’s a foreshadowing of sorts for the heightening hallucinations and surreal experiences to come. ‘Merrick’s Dream’ will also include the games first boss battle!
We can't wait for everyone to play as the Early Access release in August gets closer!
Until next month, have a good one!
