Illusion Talent Tree

Hello all,

I hope you are all enjoying Version 0.5. In the next version, I'll be adding the Illusion Talent Tree. This tree will complete the defensive talents section. It will primarily focus on Armour Class and Threat Management. The synergy talents with Abjuration and Enchantment will revolve around limiting or even removing enemy critical hits. All in all a critical Talent Tree for Em...

Eymont Map

Hello everyone,

Here's a sneak peek of Eymont's map. A lot of the game will be spent exploring the city and the surrounding area. While it won't come into play for release 0.5, I still wanted to share what is coming.

Enchantment Talent Tree

Hello everyone,

Here's a sneak peek for the Enchantment Talent Tree. Like the Abjuration Talent Tree, this one is focused on defense. This one focused primarily on protecting against physical and necromantic attacks. It is very similar to the Abjuration, and has a few fun mechanics where your barriers regenerate every turn, and at high levels you can even reflect damage back onto the atta...

Abjuration Talent Tree

Hello all,

Here's a sneak peak at the Abjuration Talent Tree. This tree is primarily focused on defense against magical attacks like fire, lightning and cold spells. Many creatures in the game will have magical attacks, so it'll be important not to neglect this tree.

Summoning List, so crowded

Hello all,

Final update before the release tomorrow.

I've added even more summons, including Fire Golems, Ice Golems, Lightning Golems, Red Dragons, White Dragons, Blue Dragons, Angels, and Demons.

Obviously these will be unlocked through talents so access will take time as the game progresses. Should be a lot of fun summoning some of those high level creatures with their own...

Who wants their Mummy?

Hello all,

Quick update here. More summons are now on the list, including Zombies, Skeletons, Vampires and Mummies. We're still on track for a release this Thursday.

Summon Lamia

Hello all,

Next update on version 0.4. It's progressing very well and should be completed by next Thursday. I've added a few more creatures to the summoning pool, namely Bears, Fylocentaurs (half human, half panther), Minotaurs, and Lamias. There's a lot of work in trying to make these balanced, and I expect I'll need to revisit the stats for each creature regularly as the game builds out...

Happy Valentine's Day

Wishing all of you a happy Valentine's Day.

Summon Snake

Hello all,

Quick update. Working hard at getting all the summons into the game. Plan is to have about 16 different type of summons depending on what talents you select. Some will fill the same role as previous levels, so at max you won't have access to all of them (that way it's not overwhelming). First one is the snake (image above) and dog.

For each summon, I plan to have several ...

Conjuration Talents Preview

Hello all,

Here's a preview of what's coming in version 0.4. Conjuration Talents. This will enable you to summon interesting creatures, such as vampires, snake woman, minotaurs, angels, demons and dragons!

Once you unlock all three offensive talents, you can then unlock the top talent, which provides many incredible bonuses to Emily's offensive capabilities!

Ascension II: Version 0.3.0 + Exclusive Content

Summons

Hello all,

Quick update, starting in version 0.3, in the battle system, you'll be able to summon creatures. For now only 2 creatures are available, but I expect to expand that when I build up the Conjuration Talent tree in version 0.4.

Arousal System

In version 0.3, you'll get access to the arousal system. This essentially is a resource you'll need to manage in the game. The more aroused Emily is, the more things will happen to her in the story line.

Currently I'm trying out a 4 tier system, which progressively makes it harder to hit spells, but opens funny or interesting dialogue throughout the game. I expect I'll also add talents to...

Evocation Talent Tree

Hello all,

Here's a first look at the Evocation Talent Tree. Where the Necromancy Skills are more focused on life stealing and weakening Emily's foes, the Evocation is the crit machine. Big crits and more big crits.

This tree will be available starting in version 0.3.0.

Ascension II: Version 0.2.0 + Exclusive Content

Hello everyone!

Hello all, release 0.2.0 is available for download! Important note, unfortunately saves from the previous release may not work in this release. If that happens, you will need to start a new game. I am truly sorry for that. It's something I try to plan for as much as possible, but unfortunately I couldn't for this situation.

This release includes:

Honest question, would you want me to set-up a discord to umm.. discord?

Version 0.2 Update

Version 0.2 coming this Thursday! I a few improvements on the outfit changing strategy, making it easier to find the time to get that done. There is also some nice progress on the talent tree, having completed the Necromancy branch. You'll be able to see what each skill does, even if you won't get a chance to try it out yet (first combats are coming in 0.3).

A few new and returning charac...

Necromancy Talent Tree

Hello everyone,

Working hard on the talent trees. I'm going to be doing a phased approach as doing all the talents in one go would halt the story progression for several weeks, and I want to keep providing you with meaningful updates.

I started with the Necromancy tree, because it's the simplest I have planned. The others are a bit more elaborate, which also make them more fun to bu...

Ascension II: Version 0.1.0

Hello everyone!

I'm incredibly happy to finally be releasing the first part of Ascension II: Arcane Prodigy! I hope you enjoy this small section and let me know your thoughts.

Like Ascension I, I plan on releasing a new version every two weeks.

This release includes:

• Emily's Goodbyes

Ascension 2 Features

What are you looking forward to the most in the sequel?

Merry Christmas!

For those who celebrate; Merry Christmas!

Quick update. Obviously I've been pretty silent for the last few weeks, but it's been to a good cause. I've completed the Battle Mechanics and can now move to building the normal storyline. There are still some significant infrastructure items that I need to complete, but those will be done in parallel to the story's development. So expect the fir...

Arcane Prodigy - Battle Screen First Look

Hello everyone,

Here's our first look at the battle screen. One of the major features of the second game of the series which I'm tentatively naming Ascension 2: Arcane Prodigy, is a better way to resolve conflict. As this is a magic focus main character (Emily Branson), we'll have a whole host of spells available to cast. Combat will be resolved through a d20 type system, with different s...

Noble's Version 1.0.1 Release - Full Game!

Finally! After this long two year ride the game is complete! I hope you enjoy this game as much as I enjoyed making it. I don't expect any more content updates to this game outside of bug fixes and corrections. My time will now shift to the second game of the series, which will be centered around Edgar's daughter. I hope you'll join me on that adventure as well.

This final release include...
