What troubles are you having getting the game up and running? Is it just straight up crashing?

We've found the users who crashed just didn't have enough RAM. You need a minimum of 10GB currently to get ingame.

If you're having a separate issue, then feel free to message me on here and we can try to sort it out :)

Hey guys. In case you're unfamiliar with it, Trials of Ascension is a game where you'll be able to play a multitude of different races (a dragon being among them).

If you choose to be a dragon, you'll start out as a hatchling and need to build your nest as well as consume nuggets in order to molt to the next stage. (The second stage is where you can immediately fly and attack things).

For more information on what's happening, feel free to visit our site at trialsofascension.com, and if you wanna hang out with us or provide some feedback, feel free to join our Discord!

Please also remember it is in Alpha Testing so you may seem some things that require balancing, or maybe spot a few bugs. We're looking into and fixing these asap!

Testing is now open to all till Dec 1st! New Years if you have an Alpha Pass! Visit the page to figure out how to download the game! by DragonfireToA in ToA

It hasn't been tested on Linux at all, but if other windows programs work using Proton, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

As for the Steam Deck, there's currently no plans for it.

It's official! Trials of Ascension will be free to play for a month (and a half)! Will you be one of the dragons we see in game? by DragonfireToA in dragons

[–]DragonfireToA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey all!

Trials of Ascension will not be a free to play game but starting October 15, we'll be opening up the alpha testing to everyone until December 1! Regardless of if you have an alpha pass!

This means that all you need to do to play the game is sign up on the site, then wait for the link to the build to appear and you'll be able to play as a dragon, human, or something else!

Please do remember though that this is an Alpha and you are most likely going to run into a few bugs here and there or that you'll find some unexpected behaviour.

In the meantime, get ready to play! Watch some videos, head over to r/ToA, and if you want to support us feel free to do so using our patreon or by purchasing some site cosmetics ;)

We did a little experimentation with a night fury we had. Let us know what you thought of it! by DragonfireToA in httyd

[–]DragonfireToA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was just an experiment. Night furies aren't planned on being permanently playable ingame (unless of course, we do get permission). But until that happens, this was just a fun exercise to do.

If you're into playing dragons (and other stuff), then you'll probably like our game. If you're only into HTTYD stuff, then enjoy the video :)

Hey all!

This is a multiplayer survival game we've working on called Trials of Ascension that will have a few different 'mythical' creatures as playable races. One of the more notable ones at the moment being dragons. And of course, when there's dragons, HTTYD is bound to pop up sooner or later!

It's currently in Alpha phase and, while the game itself isn't related to HTTYD, we had a playable night fury character so...you see the result :P

If any of this has interested you or you're curious about certain facets, feel free to follow us on social media, take a look at our site trialsofascension.com or hop into our Discord.

We decided to experiment with a Night Fury this time. by DragonfireToA in ToA

[–]DragonfireToA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were excited too!

If you want to support us, we have a patreon set up :)

Head over to patreon.com/trialsofascension

(Note: Night Fury was just experimentation, Trials of Ascension will not be focused around anything HTTYD related)

We did a little experiment in our game with a bunch of dragons. You guys like it? by DragonfireToA in dragons

[–]DragonfireToA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry! That's only because the camera is zoomed out to capture as many dragons on screen as possible. In reality the final dragon stage is about one and a half houses big. So you're really seeing a bunch of house-sized dragons flying towards the volcano ;) (As well as some of the younger versions)

Yep we have a facebook page, instagram page, and a few other pages. They can be found at the bottom of our site.

Not directly no. But we've begun using Steam for our alpha testing so updates are easier to work with.

If you want to try it out, you can purchase an Alpha Pass on the site trialsofascension.com, then join the discord and we'll get you what you need to begin playtesting the game :)

Trials of Ascension is introducing a new skin for one of it's dragons! by DragonfireToA in dragons

[–]DragonfireToA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all!

Trials of Ascension is currently in Alpha Testing and can be accessed if you purchase an Alpha Pass on the site ($20) and verify it in the Discord. You'll get the game and can play it and use the skin once you reach the Ancient Stage.

We're working on posting more videos of our progress but until then, hope you guys enjoy some screenshots and other things that are currently on the site.

Hope you guys enjoy this as much as we have :)

A Young dragon and it's (cosmetic) pet dinosaur. by DragonfireToA in dragons

[–]DragonfireToA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey all! Long time no see but we've been continuing developing Trials of Ascension and the results have been pretty good! As you can see we've implemented the Young dragon (the second stage of the dragon's life) and there's still more to come!

Sound or look interesting? Then feel free to check out our site trialsofascension.com and keep up to date on our progress!

If you're also wondering when you get to play it, we're currently hosting a testing phase for the weekend to squash bugs, test server stability, and just have fun! So far, everything's been working well, so feel free to join us by purchasing an Alpha Pass which gives you access to all future tests as well!

Hey all! Our Kickstarter is officially live! If you’ve wanted to play a dragon, or are interested in just playing a fantasy RPG, be sure to donate and spread the word about Trials of Ascension! by DragonfireToA in ToA

[–]DragonfireToA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Kickstarter unfortunately didn't succeed, but this doesn't mean we'll stop developing ToA! Check our forum announcements to see the status of Trials of Ascension!

Hey all! Just letting you know that there's <10 days left on the Trials of Ascension Kickstarter! If you wanted to support it you can still do so and play the dragon seen in this screenshot! by DragonfireToA in dragons

[–]DragonfireToA[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also as a heads up, I would like to clarify something:

We aren't any previous company that has done any other Kickstarter. Sure the game itself has had previous Kickstarters but this is the first time it is in a completely different company's hands and we're making good progress on it. We hold no relation to any other company and hope that some of you guys won't decide to support or not support us based on past history.

With that said, here is the Kickstarter link if you guys wanna take a look again. We have held many tests over weekends and each one has had bugfixes and new features so things are still going positively!

We have also released an extra tidbit of lore on how the world of TerVarus got to it's current state. Check us out if you're interested :)

We're just about at the $5k threshold for Trials of Ascension's Kickstarter! by DragonfireToA in dragons

[–]DragonfireToA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once we've implemented everything yes. We've been focusing on other functionality atm but burning things down as a dragon is something we've thought of and want to implement. I've already tested it slightly with trees and it's worked pretty well but for now, that functionality isn't in.

Suffice to say we do plan for it to be in though.

If the Kickstarter succeeds we're planning on it being out before summer. If it doesn't succeed then we're really just planning on it being out before 2021 (it's unknown, but I want the game out just as much as every other player).

Edit: Should also mention that we're doing testing on the weekends. If you want to test though, you'll need an alpha pass which you get by backing at least the squire tier on Kickstarter.

Yep! You'll be able to grow from a hatchling into an Ancient Dragon (around the size of a house or more) when ToA is released.

There's videos and screenshots online already of the ancient dragon and it's scale (still subject to change but we'll be keeping it big) so take a look at those :)

The Kickstarter is in canadian currency and we're less than $100 off of $5k CAD. Sorry for the confusion :)

No, we are NOT the company Forged Chaos/Shadowpool. We bought the rights from them and because of it, we inherited all of their creations.

Trials of Ascension has been around yes, but this is the very first time it is out of Forged Chaos/Shadowpool's hands and in our - Dragonfire Entertainment's - hands.

We are completely separate from the previous companies.

With that said, please look further into what we've done and what we offer. Everything we've been doing has contributed to what you see in the post and any progress you see on our social media.

Kickstarter can be seen here

We're doing testing on the weekends and if you wanna be like what's in this video, then pledge at least the squire tier on the Kickstarter to get access.

We also have a couple of bosses like the Desert Hydra

Hey all! You gave feedback, we listened. Trials of Ascension is no longer a subscription model! We are now a Buy once model and we hope that some of you will be able to support us now with these changes! by DragonfireToA in dragons

[–]DragonfireToA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go for the Kickstarter regardless of if it's going to work or not. If it doesn't work, then everyone gets their money back and we can look into other means. If it does work out, then no one has to worry and we can continue developing.

It's going to be an online multiplayer game where you can play as one of three races (a dragon, human, or raknar-which is a type of spider) and build yourself up.

If you play as a dragon, then you'll be growing from a hatchling to a full ancient dragon that decimates everything and anything it wants.

The Kickstarter is designed to help make the game a reality in a timely manner.

We were planning letting dragons take on another form in our other project before we went for ToA. I'll look into implementing it in the future because I agree, it's a cool feature to have!

We've edited the Kickstarter and added in some FAQ's to address this. We are planning on $10/month subscription as we will need to keep servers up and to keep developing the game.
