Ash of Gods

In this Kickstarter update we touch upon a topic that is very important to us — game's visual style.

On one hand — it is one of the most imporant features of the games, what makes it stand out and what gets its a lot of it praizes. On another hand — it is the part of the game that raizes most of the questions, in particular the similarities between our style and the on of Banner Saga.

In this update you can find out how Ash of Gods' style was created, what were the artists inspired by, what materials they had based they work on.

As always you can read the update on our Kickstarter page.

the storyline is very engaging, keep up the good work, guys!

Thank you, it is really nice to hear that as the campaign progress is a bit discouragin.

You will probably like our latest Kickstarter update — the story of our game is written by a published fantasy author Sergey Malitsky. You could have read his books "Arban Saes" or "Ashes of the Gods". If not, then it's worth reading.

Sergey not only creates the plot of the game, but also works with the narrative designer Dmitry writing the script for all of the plot lines, episodes, scenes and dialogues. He also wrote several short stories and stories that tell of the events that do not occur in the game, or describe them from a different perspective.

Today in our Kickstarter update we publish the first of such stories, "The Ense", which tells of the invasion to the Terminium by aliens wearing white masks on behalf of one of them.

In the new Kickstarter update we are talking about non-linearity, travel on global map, difficulties and decisions that a player will have to face, as well as its consequences.

More details in our latest Kickstarter update

The Kickstarter marathon is over, and we return to our usual schedule of publications: we will regularly share with you various materials of the game.

We start with this video showing the process of recording of the vocals by Liz Catherine for one of the tracks for Ash of Gods.

With most of the characters' art ready we've started to go over them, adding shadows and depth. The first one we've finished is Hopper Rouly, one of the protagonists of the game. The previous iteration (on the left) lacks shadows, that's why the hero looked implausible.



A wandering chronicler, healer and baron without a title is the little that is known about Houper Rowley. The events that he witnesses are recorded in a special book written on some secret language — probably, therefore, some consider him a sorcerer.

Drukket. Skillful and loyal warrior, a connoisseur of wine and women, a grandee without an arrogance. Closed and laconic, according to some people he's hiding a big secret.

Does he remind you of someone?

You will be able to in November.

Meanwhile, we have an animation for a trebuchet ready. It will make a breach in the city walls with ease.



Do you think you would be able to handle this siege?

Dozens of references, hundreds of edits, endless suffering artists and the final version of global map is finally here! I have already shown a couple of WIPs among our Kickstarter updates but now I would like you to admire it in all its beauty:

Does it looks worthily among other fantasy worlds?

Putting in the global map to the build, outline the heroes' routes and adding effects. Can't wait to see it in-game and start the journey. What about you?

Good news for the ones who missed our Kickstarter campaign!
