Ash of Gods (tuxdb.com)

Hello, friends! Today it's Friday, and we decided to cut talking about different mechanics and fights with the news about important changes this time in cinematics. If you have already tried our demo, you know that the intro and the cutscenes in the game differ considerably from its visual style. And of course they lose significantly to the videos from the original project.
So why did we focus on those rough sketches? The thing is that a good video at the level of Redemption would be worth to us as a quarter of the whole game in the form that was planned. Thats why because of our budget restrictions we had to focus on this variant.
Nevertheless, as we started changing our approach to the game and making it more difficult, we understood that the difference between the videos and the level of the project stands out more and more, and players only proved it with their feedback.
Thats why we decided to try and fix the situation and create new videos for the game with help of our amazing artists and are ready to share first achievements.
In spite of the fact that in new cinematics there wont be as many movements as there were in old versions, the result, however, must surpass them by far thanks to accurately structured composition, a brand new level of detailing and a thorough work with colour.
The characters began looking much more naturally. Distorted proportions, very rough strokes, wooden mimic its all in the past. We paid a lot of attention to face expressions so that we could transfer emotions as accurately as possible. Thats how, for example, new Quinna Rosette looks at old Fill. Run, Forest, run!
A great deal of work was done on the surroundings. The old videos were concentrated firstly on the characters and their actions, thats why the cutscenes werent so satisfying with detailing and looked quite meagre. We tried to fix it in new cutscenes.
Its a laborious job, and of course we have to spend a considerable amount of time to finish everything. However, were sure that the result is worth it.
In the ready videos motion effects will be used to make scenes more lively and visually interesting but we will keep them till the next updates.
That was the way our cinematics have passed from rough sketches to arts that are complicated and much more suitable for the style of the game. This happened largely thanks to your responses, and its vitally important for us to get some feedback from you. Please write your comments about your attitude to this upgrade, if you like what you see or not. We are very grateful for any comments and want to express our gratitude to our compassionate community. We wish everybody a merry Christmas and we will be sure to come back before the end of the year with a present a new demo-version. There wont be any new cinematics in it but we will keep you updated about our progress. So be sure to follow us and dont forget to add our game to wishlist.

Ash of Gods: Redemption is a turn-based RPG that combines tactical combat, CCG elements, and a constantly evolving story in which no one is safe from death, including the main characters.

GAMEPLAY

Ash of Gods is the story of three separate protagonists rising in response to a centuries-old menace once thought to be mere folklore.

Ash of Gods’ storyline is constantly evolving in response to players’ choices, sometimes even resulting in death. But, the death of a character is not game over. Instead, the story moves forward with the death of that character and previous choices continuing to impact future events.

Combat in Ash of Gods is a blend of both traditional turn-based strategy and CCG gameplay. While individual tactics will depend upon the skills and classes of your characters, you will unlock and accumulate cards that have the power to unleash powerful abilities, sometimes altering the course of an entire battle.

WHAT MAKES ASH OF GODS UNIQUE

Decisions with Major Impacts

Every decision, whether on or off the battlefield, has the capacity to alter the course of events and the fate of your party with major repercussions. But, even the death of your leader is not the end of your journey.

No Random Dice Rolls

There are no dice throws to determine chance-to-hit or the force of a blow. In Ash of Gods, true tacticians must master the skills of their classes and harness the powers granted by their limited supplies of cards, or suffer the consequences.

AI that Adapts to You

Ash of Gods’ AI adapts to your style of play to ensure a consistently challenging experience with no room for cheap tactics or invincible team builds.

PvE and PvP Multiplayer

Work with a friend to battle the AI in PvE challenges, or challenge other players and compete for a spot on the leaderboards. Unlock new characters, upgrades, and cards to customize your tactics even further.

Rewards for Risk

Expend your own HP for a last-ditch attack. Go into battle with a smaller team to get better cards and quicker rounds. Take the shorter, but more dangerous route to save on resources. Ash of Gods rewards those willing to take the risks.

THE STORY

After 700 years, peace in Terminum is about to end. The Feast of the Spring Equinox is in full swing when the town bell begins to ring. Captain Thorn Brenin, the bodyguard Lo Pheng, the scribe Hopper Rouley, and many others, do not yet know that the reapers have returned and intend to drown the world in blood so that they may awaken the sleeping gods.

Written by the award-winning fantasy author, Sergey Malitsky, Ash of Gods is a story-rich game full of memorable characters, powerful dialogue, and deep lore. Malitsky is currently working on a new novel stemming from the events of Ash of Gods.

THE ARTWORK

Inspired by the works of Ralph Bakshi (The Lord of the Rings), classical Disney animation, and the prolific Soviet studio, Soyuzmultfilm (The Snow Queen), Ash of Gods features intricately hand-drawn illustration and animation. Rotoscoping, a technique in which a scene is first filmed with a live actor to use as reference, instills every frame of animation with incredible detail and a true sense of life.

THE MUSIC

The original soundtrack is a collaboration of Adam Skorupa, Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz, and Michal Cielecki, whose previous work includes The Witcher, Bulletstorm, Painkiller, EVE Online, Call of Juarez, and Shadow Warrior. Every track was recorded live by professional musicians, often using traditional instruments rarely encountered in contemporary recordings.
