Exclusive Cover Art

We have been discussing with our partner Limited Run Games about it and we can now announce you that all your Kickstarter orders will come with an Exclusive Cover Art!

Improving Gameplay

Our gameplay is aerial and dynamic but we received suggestions from our dedicated channel in our discord server about being able to auto attack not only horizontally butalso toward top and bottom and we liked the idea so check the gif below with Kiran to see how it works:

Bottom attack | Normal attack | Top Attack

Taking your feedback into consideration will be important for us, that is one of our main reasons to think that Early Access is the best way for Astral Ascent.


Gameplay Videos

We really wanted to highlight 2 videos today:

  •  Ink Of Knight - he greatly explains the game mechanics and his stream was very enjoyable to watch. Be sure to check his let's play.
  •  ExServ- for french speakers the studios founders Alexandre and Louis were live for 1h45 with ExServ to talk about inspirations, game mechanics and more! You can see the replay on youtube.

Do not hesitate to talk to your favorite content creators (youtubers & streamers) about the free demo!


Zodiac Reveal + Ayla Figure

We have received the first pictures of Ayla Figure by Graphigaut and it looks amazing! It will be a 19cm height figure very fluid and dynamic, we will reveal soon!

Our artwork artist Gaël has nearly finished Aries ♈ and she looks really really great,we will reveal her in the coming days too.

⭐ WE ARE FUNDED - Announcing Our First Stretch Goal⭐
over 3 years ago – Thu, Apr 01, 2021 at 11:49:17 AM

We did it! ⭐

We received such an amazing support and it took less than 36h to get funded thanks to your help!

And the campaign is not slowing done as we already reached 125% of our initial goal. Thank you again as we know you had a great impact on communicating around you.


What happens now? 

We have got you covered with exciting Stretch Goals that we were hoping to show you! 

The first one is called the "Extra Challenges" Stretch Goal, if we reach EUR 55,000 (about $65,000): 

We will be adding a brand new NPC to the hub who will give you the opportunity to take on extra challenges and hand over extra money as a reward as as you achieve them. 

While we don't have the system in place yet (that's the big part that needs to be done), we have some idea of what it will look like:

The Yalees (little cats) are always around

We will reveal soon the Exclusive Ayla Figure and we are preparing the reveal of Aries ♈, the next Zodiac to unveil.


Thanks again for your support and let's reach for the stars!
