We're building a modding tool for Astral Ascent!

Hey everyone, I already posted this kind of thing on our Discord but I know not everyone here is on it so here I am (I know a lot of things about you mwhahahahah you shall fear my power!) 🔥

So, A2M2, our modding tool for Astral Ascent will be released in a few weeks (like very soon). We've been working on it for a while and we're getting close to actually putting it in your hands.

Real quick, here's what it does: you can edit any visual asset in the game. Sprites, animations, attack FX, decors, characters. One element or a full overhaul, up to you. For now it's visuals only, no gameplay or mechanics yet.

We're showing it live in the next devlog with a mod example so you'll see it for real soon.

But honestly we're at the point where we'd rather just ask than guess. So:

Do you actually care about this kind of thing? Got a mod idea sitting in your head already? And when it drops, what makes it worth celebrating for you? A contest, a showcase, something else? 🤔

Tell us. We're genuinely building the launch around what you want.

This run can actually crash your game! xD

So it's Saaaad that I couldn't dodge two measly attacks to get a perfect on him... but this build is funny because I actually crashed my game earlier with it; the missles and swords don't just go infinitly, they keep multiplying the longer and longer they trigger. I decided to grab a drink while one of the zodiacs was saying their defeat speach, which doesn't fully freeze the game, and more and more swords and missiles kept spilling from me and hitting them. Only took the PC about 12 seconds of this to chug and break!

Anyhoo, I actually only just got the Bigger body initiative from killing Gemini before this. Otherwise I think this is the most powerful non-astral combo in the game for sure.

CRAZY Vision of The Mountain Hunter build

I’ve always wanted to get Vision of the Mountain Hunter to really hum, but I’ve always had bad luck with auras/gambits. This time it was just bonkers. I had 90% of the build up by the second biome. Managed to snag Saber Call near the end, and the extra missiles damage just put this over the top.

So. Much. FUN.

I wish we could choose to go endless after beating Ophiuchus, like if we have an insane build we could have the option to play longer past the end. Maybe have random levels come at you that increase in difficulty until you die. That would be so much fun.

This boss is absolutely ridiculous

Like the attacks she does will 9 times out of 10 always hit you and the way the dodging works in this game is you have to either dodge really late or really early as the attacks have extending hitboxes etc. How do yall successfully defeat her consistently?

Give me the best Yalee builds!

Yalees are my favorites. I live nothing more than seeing a cloud of those cats streak across my screen, then a sky ship come along and start dropping bombs.

I want to know what the absolute most broken build for yellies happens to be. Just getting chips coming down all the time, never off the screen, chain reactions between them and maybe saplings that just lead to summoning one another? Something like that.

Thanks in advance

Planing buying it on Switch, need some advice

Hey everyone,

As I said in the title, I'm planning on buying this game that looks really great. I'm a bit short on money at the moment.

So I wonder if I should buy all dlc right away or I can wait. Let me break it down: I know I can bench the new characters for now. But what about The Outer Reaches and Celestial Haven? Can I leave them on the back burner too? I'm assuming there's a steep learning curve and these new biomes are post-vanilla content, so I should have plenty of time before I actually hit the endgame of the base loop.

Any insights or pro-tips? Thanks in advance!

Help with Arven DLC backer code being for Steam only. Nothing for console?

Going through emails and see the reward bot gave me one of my backer rewards but its only for Steam.

I dont have this game on steam... only PS4.

Is there something Im supposed to do on my end with kickstarter?
Got an email in December saying to join an invite to Discord, but its a rats nest now with the whole age verification ID required.

Discord conveniently disabled my account for god knows why which is a treat since I barely ever used the service.

Now Im in a support ticket loop for Discord for a ancillary service I never wanted to join anyway.

Im 40+yo in the US, guess which support area I was told to "Appeals and Age-Update Requests" Uh huh.

Figured everything with backing Fallen Fates would go through kickstarter.

No clue why Id ever do business with Discord to get my rewards or need to submit my platform of choice there but here I am.

Am I just shit out of luck?

Any help would be appreciated.

Beat all bosses with just signature spell damage (except 1st boss- capricorn)

Because capricorn is infuriating.

All bosses' pics are in order- aries, scorpio, aquarius and finally ophiuchus.

Tectonic blast being top damage is so funny lol.
