DEVELOPER INTERVIEW What puzzle was your favourite to work on? Aetherbolt Library, the Shrines, Ruined Harp Hall. I enjoyed making the pressure plates for the puzzles and indoor castle/library assets. I really like the colour theme for them!

The Orrery never made it into the final build of Ascend! We're taking a look to see if we can add in some free DLC next year with an extra puzzle on the mountain. Maybe Ophiuchus...? #screenshotsaturday #IndieDev #gamedev #puzzlegames

After running developer interviews with the team (coming soon!), we noticed that the Leo puzzle is a favourite! We dug a bit deeper, and it really shows, making a tight puzzle which shows the gameplay loop also makes it fun to work on together! 💜 #puzzlegames #IndieDev #gamedev
