Ascendance - Devlog 4

Ascendance
A browser game made in HTML5

Hi there! It's been a minute since we last had one of these, huh ❤

I was planning on starting to implement this path in this update but, as I draw the main tree of Ascendance, I'm starting to realize that I could do more with it. That way, I'll push it again to the next update.
