Ascent
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Happy to see you again!
We've wrapped up our fourth week of development on Ascent and a lot of progress and reworking has been made after the feedback from last week!

Oct. 9-11:
- Finished making our GDD, devised our levels, and presented our tech demo to a panel
- Received valuable feedback after our build worked on keyboard but was broken with controllers, with our main takeaways being:

  • Is stamina necessary?
  • Ambitious levels, try scoping them down
  • Make the mechanics feel good, fake them and add coyote time where necessary

In our following week, we plan on implementing:
- Our full range of sound effects for players
- a working settings, respawn, and checkpoint system
- Tweaks and improvements on our mechanics based on TA feedback
