This Game is in No Way Small

This past weekend the crew behind Trials of Ascension did a live AMA where they covered a lot of information that hasn’t previously been discussed. While the AMA was being streamed, it felt more like a developer play session that it did an AMA. The reason I say this is because the developers talked among themselves more than to the audience. But that’s not a bad thing. As the discussion progressed they delved deeper into topics at hand, instead of providing simple short and concise answers.

Lead programmer Teddy walks us through some of the recent progress made building our pre-alpha technical demo. As you may have noticed there's a lack of axes in this video. Don't worry we'll be adding them in the near future! We simply wanted to demonstrate the current tree chopping animation and basic resource gathering. Note: The drop in FPS in certain parts of the video is due to recording and not any issues in-game. We wanted to get this update to out to our supporters as soon as pos
