The bad news is that Ascension 2 will not launch by the end of 2015. The good news is that it will be out by the end of January 2016. In the meantime, feel free to try the beta. So what’s the story with the delay? At this point, the game is done- at least,… Read more »
Ascension 2 is about 90% complete at this point and I’ve managed to scrape up some testers. We’re still working on the game itself, but one thing that I realized quickly was that people need context. Right now, the game throws you into an unfamiliar world, which is rather disorienting. I should know better- some… Read more »
I’m still making slow, quiet progress on Ascension 2. I’m happy to announce that the main questline is complete and I’m now working on polishing the rougher parts and adding more side content to the game.
I’m still working on this, albeit relatively quietly. New Texas is a location explored later in the game. I would say that the game is three-quarters done at this point, although the ninety-ninety rule always applies. Video in the post.

Still very WIP, but it’s coming along. Video in the post.
At the request of an OpenGameArt commenter, I’ve created a standalone desktop port of Ascension: Adventure. It’s more like a wrapped version- I’m using node-webkit with minor modifications to the game code. Technical details are forthcoming. In the meantime, you can download the beta.

Here is a summary of the changes: xcvgsystems.com is now the primary domain name. xcvgsystems.net will redirect to the new location, but it is recommended that you update existing links and avoid using the old… Read more »
I’m moving this site to new, faster hosting. The domain will also change from xcvgsystems.net to xcvgsystems.com. Redirection should work, but I recommend you change any relevant links once the site has moved. This process will be finished (hopefully) by the end of the week, and the successful completion of the changeover will be announced.
Although I’ve been fairly quiet, I’ve actually been working on Ascension 2 for the past several months. It’s now at the point where there’s something worth showing. Get it here.
