Hello, friends! As you know, we are preparing a new demo for Steam Next Fest, and you can already play it on Monday. Apart from balance corrections, we have removed the restriction of 30 FPS, and that made our game way more smooth and pleasing to the eye. We've also considerably changed battlefields and made them more vivid, placing a lot of new animated objectsthey look way more classy than Redemptions.
We have also added a new redesigned intro (it's not a final version though), the choice of difficulty level, free cards animation, an improved screen of card replacement before the start of a fight and a lot more.
What we haven't added but we will for sure: we'll add a new screen for the main menuit still demands some work with animations and music. We also plan to partially rewrite dialogues to make the story of the first tournament more complete and interesting. And of course, we'll bring back voice acting when all the texts are ready.
And for now follow us in Discord, add the game to the wishlist and check for updateswe'll inform you as soon as the demo will be available.

CATS & MEMES

Working on a demo is a hard and tiring process, but we always work as a team, and that's why we chat a lot and try to cheer each other upsometimes with absolute nonsense. And today we want to share some with you. For example, we couldnt go past the telling expression of Finns face in one of the new cinematics. Originally this meme was in Russian, but we managed to find an English alternativea phrase of Daniel Day-Lewis from the Gangs of New York movie.

Sometimes, after a hard working day our artists join the Dark Side of the Force. I blame Disney and the new trilogy for all of this.

Here, the artist who works with battlefields took the condition In this battle your opponent will get an unexpected reinforcement a bit too literally

And our art-director, while testing animations, turned a poor guardian into a dirty swine, putting flies on him, because there were no corpses nearby.

Also he says that hes added a scroll to a Frisian version of Kleta to punish Finn for bad fights in the tournament.

And he claims that he didnt try to draw a young revolutionnairejust wanted to attach the girl to the mother. Of course, we dont believe him.

But sometimes the game creates memes itself. For example, a ghost of a Hammerer appeared in the deck of Berkanas champion. Spooky!

By the way, our team is quite young. Some of us are old enough, though, to remember a very ancient meme about Techno Viking

Anyway, we all are millennials, so the memes are usually pretty classic:

And not always funny (but quite honest!)...

We also share photos of our favourite pets with each other. And it seems, all of us are crazy cat lovers (the image is clickable).

Its quite weird, but none of us has a dog. We would gladly accept them into our company though. But we have other pets too.

We hope that our pets and our stupid sense of humour have lifted your spirits. At least, just a tad.

Regretfully, we wont likely post regular updates and tell you about our game in detail anymore. Weve always tried to create interesting quality content, but it takes a lot of time and effortand for now these efforts dont pay off and dont bring enough wishlists.

Nevertheless, if you like our updates and youd like to keep reading them, its high time to add Ash of Gods: The Way into your wishlist and subscribe to the game to receive important updates. Unfortunately, Steam doesn't let us to put a direct link here but you can find a clickable GIF above the description on Redemption's store page. Comments, likes and reposts of this post are also very welcomethanks a lot for your support, anything like that is very precious for us. Besides, you can join our Discord channelwe are always glad to talk to the players and answer any questions. Thats all for now. We remind you that on Monday, with the start of the festival, our new demo will be available for everyoneand we are waiting for your feedback. Be sure to tell your friends about us!

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.
