ysbreker Posted April 4, 2005 YES ladies and gentlepeople! The logic factory lives! And they're making a sequel to the awesome Ascendancy ! If you don't know this game you can be perfectly right, cause I doubt it'd sell very well with it's very unique art-style and solid gameplay :/ Anyway. aparently we can expect a sequel sometime iun the future. I love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lailoken Posted April 4, 2005 god, I loved ascendancy!! but I bet the sequel is going to be way more complicated than the original. I was totally behind on the whole thing back then, a friend told me about this really old game that he still had lying around... and it was awesome... good times!

Roderick Posted April 4, 2005 Ascendancy was very fun for the time. I think it would still have a unique atmosphere if you'd play it today (not in the least because of the terrifically wellbegotten music), though it would have aged a bit by now. I was equally charmed by their later game The Tone Rebellion, which featured even more weirdness and dug itself in an even deeper niche. There was something hypnotizing about that game; the collecting of artifacts to open up new worlds, the danger, the tactile tension... Ascendancy 2... I just don't know what to think. Knowing the Logic Factory it'll be weird. It had better be. Hopefully this time a little more accessible and with less of a ridiculous learning curve. It always occurred to me they had trotten so deeply into their own world that they had a hard time pulling everyone else in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Fuzzy McBitty Posted April 4, 2005 Never heard of the first one. Explain in as few words as possible, I'm a busy man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted April 5, 2005 If you follow the link that ysbreker gave, there's a short description of the game. Surprisingly, I found this embodies virtually everything in the game! Ascendancy isn't a huge game or very complicated, but it does call for some ingeniuity. As always [with Logic Factory titles], it is rather difficult to learn properly, but it's fun nonetheless. Only a bit old and crooked now maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trithemius Posted April 5, 2005 Neat! Such a cool game, although... all that dinging... dinging... dinging... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trithemius Posted April 5, 2005 From here: Ascendancy II will take the same fundamental principles of galactic exploration and encounter that Logic Factory pursued with the original, and modernize and translate them to work in a persistent online multiplayer universe. Anyone else vaguely terrified? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
