Ascendence's won the following 2009 Misaos:
Best Setting, Best Atmosphere, Best Sound & Music, Most Technical Prowess, Best Level Design, Best Interface Design, Most Promising Demo

Setting:

The world is largely unknown to its inhabitants of our kind. Mankind is only a tiny race struggling to survive and exist on the surface of their world. As the bottom of the food chain, they've set out to live in what they call Colonies, small regions they've locked themselves into, varying between cities built inside mountains, beneath or on the surface of the seas, and some daringly in the middle of bald, plain terrain, confined by huge walls towering high above their heads.

Why they are living in here is because there is no stepping outside those Colonies, for on the other side of those walls awaits nefarious nature, striving to wipe off their existence parasites, if you will. Even if those walls are barely enough to hold off the worst, it doesn't hold off those other inhabitants of this atmosphere, those known as the Beasts. The humans are one of the natural nourishments for the Beast-kind, which is diverse in species, all specialized to hunt in different ways, all with a common goal: to consume and to survive. This is not the only threat to the inhabitants of the Colonies, but the clearest one: the one coming from the outside.

What exists inside, diseases such as Miasma; deception and scheming; conspiracies; assassins, and other various methods one is willing to take to ensure self-survival.

Ascendence Resources

Every now and then people have been asking me for a permission to use the resources I used in Ascendence, or then they have used them without a permission anyway, so I put together a pack of resources I used in the game. Here you go:

http://rpgmaker.net/users/Happy/locker/Ascendence_Resources.rar

There is a folder for resources I compiled myself and a folder for general resources that I've grabbed from wherever I've liked.

Unfortunately I'm not going to upload the last version of the project folder as the size is somewhere around 700 Mb!

But if you're wondering how these resources were used, you can take a look in the old demo version and the screenshots I've posted here on RMN. Here's also some additional screenshots of the areas that weren't included in the demo:

Yeah. Cool graphics. Cool scenes like in real movie. How i see begin looks like in Blade Runner. And the big window like in Tyrell corp building. Anyway so many dialogs so many changes in showed characters worlds. Anyway for me action is to slow. It's really good. Good battles (so long until we start fight) but i get a little bored with this game. Maybe i have played not enough long.
Rei, finish this game.

Rei, finish this game.


This is it. This is the best advice.

stop beating off and finish this damn game, rei
I will come to wherever you live and bribe you to death until you finish this fucking thing. If I don't get to play Ascendence from start to finish, I will be a very unhappy man.
I anticipate this more than almost any commercial game I can name right now.
I gotta agree with Drakonais... The RSD demo really whetted my appetite. Rei, now I say this seriously but I'm really looking forward to Ascendence more than... dun dun dun... LINE'S END. And I've been waiting for Line's End since FOREVER AGO.

That, and to top it all of, the game's steam-punk. And that just absolutely fucking rocks.

Hey guys, Rei announced on IRC that Ghandi told him to stop making games or something.

So now this game is off. He can't bring himself to making games, so you should just unsubscribe and help chaos finish Ill Will or something.

(If you think I am joking, I am not.)


Really? DUDE, this game is way better than anything I can come up with, and I've got quite a few decent projects in the works. Seriously WTF!?! If this game isn't finished, I may ask Rei for permission to take up this project myself.
can someone answer me this question? During the tutorial on events it says we get rewards for completing events, and I happen to have completed the cat copter (took at least 15 tries <.<) but there seems to be no reward whatsoever, any insights into this?

Agnito the only insights you will get are forever's end and googling "how to spell Ascendance"
So, is it pretty much done, or is he just taking a break for a bit?...

Unlock the game so I can steal you resources, and take over the world.

K thx. just kidding, it was properly for the RSD. Up to you.
