Ascent of Ashes dev switches to Godot halfway development “Not as chaotic as Unity”

PreMortem.Games

Ascent of Ashes , the upcoming colony sim by Vivid Storm Interactive , has been delayed to early next year. While addressing player feedback certainly plays a role in the delay, the migration from Unity to Godot is an even more significant factor. Godot doesn’t feel quite as chaotic as Unity did at times. German indie developer Vivid Storm Interactive is a three person team that started when they launched a Kickstarter campaign for Ascent of Ashes in 2021.
