Ascension is on Kickstarter!

Help fundĀ Ascension: Incursio by visiting our page on Kickstarter. There are someĀ epic incentives to donate. We’re really excited to spread the word. Pass it on!

Our Kickstarter project is called “Ascension War: Incursio.” Incursio challenges the conventions of what it means to be a game on Facebook. It will be one of the first true 3D games embedded directly into Facebook and one of the only Facebook games with a story. It will still have social elements, like giving and receiving powerups to and from friends, but it will be a much more sophisticated gaming experience than Facebook games have been in the past.

The money we are asking for on Kickstarter is to help sustain Incursio. Specifically, we plan to use the funding from Kickstarter to purchase more licenses of our game engine (Unity 3D). Anything beyond that will go to other hardware and software upgrades, and anything beyond that will go toward expanding Incursio with more ship and weapon upgrades, more maps, more enemies, etc.

We have a transmedia approach to design which means we have plans to expand the Ascension universe through additional games, comics, novels, plays, and films. But don’t think that we want to throw our brand on just anything and call it a day Each piece of the universe enriches the others so that each functions as a part of a whole and as a whole unto itself, all while forwarding our overall artistic vision. By contributing to Incursio, you are not only helping fund a single unique experience, but you are providing the catalyst for a new, exciting, entertaining, thoughtful, and artistic intellectual property.

Along those lines, our next title is called “Ascension War: Triumvirate.” Triumvirate will be a larger, online multiplayer game, while Incursio is a single player experience.

You can play Incursio for free at http://apps.facebook.com/ascensionwar/

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us and Ascension.
