Launch Letter from Bret
August 21, 2023
This moment, right now, is a surreal moment for the team at Ascendant and myself. As simple as it may seem, you reading this letter means that we’ve finished Immortals of Aveum™ and you’re getting ready to play the culmination of five long years of our hard work. Before I write any more, I just want to thank you for taking precious time out of your life to play our game, it means the world to us.
When I founded Ascendant Studios, I had little more than a game concept, some notes, and the trust of my investor Brian, to create an independent AAA studio. I had no team, no tech, and only a vague idea on how to start such an ambitious project. Fast forward five years, and I think we have an epic, beautiful, and really fun game that came out of the passion and hard work of the team. I could not be more proud of what we have accomplished, from building a world-class team, to learning Unreal Engine 5, creating an amazing combat system and story, through the adversity of COVID, and so many more accomplishments along the way. It's been the best experience of my professional life.
On behalf of Ascendant Studios, thank you for being part of this journey. We can't wait for you to play the game and experience the world we have created. This is our first game and the first chapter of our company. It's only the beginning.
Sincerely,
Bret (CEO, Game Director) and the Ascendant Team
