May I know if the saves for Itch.io and Steam compatible? I prefer to buy games on Steam but it doesn't have a demo there so I played it here on Itch.io. I did not expect to enjoy this game as much as I do when I randomly download this game out of boredom.

Yes they are compatible! Glad you are enjoying it :D


And demo will be coming to steam soon (when they approve it).

Cool! I've bought the game on Steam and tested the save. It's good that I don't need to replay from the start. I know there's a sale next week but I already like the game enough to just buy it. 

Have to say playing the fallen noble background is oddly funny at times because the character will always act like he was born a commoner. Can't remember specific dialogues but I remember being a bit confused here and there at their response.

This games incredible, I tried it out a few weeks ago and then 90 hours passed as I caught up to where the developments at. I'm back in too, cause I wanted to give a weapon/formation run a go, Unlimited Craftworks and all that. After I get some income I'm gonna pay for this again (I like that itch lets ya do that). Maybe grab it on Steam? I've been tryna get my friends in on it too. 

I think the only 2 things I could say are like A) More encounters with that Gian kid, I hate him and need more chances to hurt him in a meaningful way[not serious]. B) I kinda didn't like having to max out almost every root because of the build I was running coupled with the path I chose (I wasn't using clouds or weapons during my first run, it's not an issue every player'll run into and is only a setback of a couple years, of which you can do other things while you wait and have 400+ to spare). I understand why I hadta though, and it plays in thematically after the fact. Maybe C) The ability to get mastery traits on DC techs, like you can with crafting. Dual cultivation is pretty barebones right now and doesn't help that much for how often you end up drowning in qi (this could also be a personal experience, as my first run condensed it differently). The gay sex is fun though, even if she's laughing at me cause this's the 4th time I fumbled the DC in a row. This's still early access though, so that was probably already planned.

Anyways, the games great, I'm gonna be keeping up on this!

Good game and honestly this can be a lot better and games like Hero's Adventure has this kind of bad artstyle before they changed the character character desgins and portrait artstyles to become much better and eye-candy. 

Games with romance are very good to play as it makes the plot and gameplay not so boring and players are always looking for good artworks especially if it's slightly revealing. 

I hope the dev can expand the realms more, stronger enemies, more skill choices, more gears, more enemies, more characters and so on, and needs a little bit polishment on homescreen designs. 

There's actually better and cheap graphic designers on linkedIn and most of them are students yet very talented, I suggest to visit that app.

 God Bless and stay healthy ;)

Really good game, just i wish it has mobile port

(-1)

Does the game have romance?

(+1)(-1)

Yes

lyeeedar: I don't know if this is a bug, but when I click on locations that are considered nearby with screen reader mode active no matter how many days away the new location is the game doesn't advance the days on the calendar.  For example, I can stand at the Nine Mountain Sect, click on The Cross Roads, witch is 7 days away, and no time will pass.  I have noticed it does this so long as it doesn't put up a screen that requires me to click travel.  I hope this made sence.

lyeeedar: I thought you'd like to know that turning off Screen reader mode allows the game to play combat sound effects.  When screen reader mode is checked no combat sounds play.

(-1)

WHAT? Now you have all stances premade for you ?! Where have it been when i started a game month ago ? That's such a low kick, i had to manage every sequence myself, for hours :c

Is this a bug or am I missing something? I can't access the best methods for opening meridians. I've filled all the slots, but it's still showing 26/27. Two simple methods open them, but the three best ones are inactive.

Please open the breakthrough for the top 3, and it should tell you what condition you are missing.

The Great Meridian won't open. In all three methods. All three Golden Walker Shards are installed. I've already obtained seven of them. I've replayed this point twice.

Im not sure what you mean. You CAN'T slot all 3 greater meridians. Only 1.

Can you come to the discord and share some screenshots?

Unfortunately, my Discord isn't working. I mean, I have Meridian Goldshards installed in the eye, heart, and core slots. All three. However, all three best methods remain locked, indicating that the last requirement—the one with the Meridian Goldshard—isn't met.

It hasnt been possible to slot all 3 since 0.6.19 (almost a month ago). So I assume you are playing an outdated version of the game.

You need to pick only one to install big shard, all others must be installed with small ones. And each of three methods gives different stats of outcome, depends where you put the big shard, so pick one method you prefer, and install goldshard where it says. Also using all 3 slots with big shards did nothing special, you sill get same reward as if choosing only 1 of them, so no difference here after updates.

I can confirm the issue: when breaking through to Stage III, the three most powerful methods don't unlock. If I insert a Meridian Goldshard into the Great Meridian slot, this requirement simply doesn't count. I only use one goldshard, but it doesn't help. If it matters, the golem that drops this item was defeated in a team battle. I'm playing on version 0.6.17.

Ive just tried on 0.6.23 (the latest version) and slotting the greater shard works fine. Can you please update to 0.6.23 and try again. If it still doesn't work, can you share some screenshots of the issue in the discord so I can debug please?

Hmm, im curious, is there alchemy quality, higher than sublime planned ?
It seems like there suppose to be, but maybe in future versions ?

Also, game is amazing, 10/10, spent hours figuring optimal combinations to not being one-shotted by my own realm enemies, not even talking about higher realm, and then found upgrades for skills, and spent even more time adjusting skills with new upgrades, also 0 guides on game fighting is makes you either think smart, or quit xD

(+1)(-1)

Currently no plans for over sublime. Quality fills that gap. But who knows where the game will end up going!

Glad you're enjoying it :D

(2 edits) (-1)

I do for sure :D
my game time :>

Oh and i'm asking because there is one quest, or, rather interaction, that suggest there is *something* there, that we haven't reached yet, but its might be possible in future.

Like, opening sublime was a game changer, and it feels like there is level above sublime as well, somewhere, just because this interaction. Since you are literally game creator (if im not wrong), you probably know better where things are heading, so, any hints, where Lingxi Gian experimental pill recipe quest heading ? She says, she already included all flaws needed into the recipe, but even sublime result is not enough to make her elixir work as intended.

So, its just my personal thoughts, but i assume, its either new quality level, that surpass sublime, that can make miracles out of medicine, or some special technique that isn't above sublime, but, perhaps exactly opposite, makes elixirs less perfect, adding own imperfections into elixir, adding some "cost" to be paid, to enhance the effects to make it work, just as with toxicity itself (according to game lore)?  

Any thoughts on subjects, any plans ? I only hope this interaction is not meant to be farming crafting points by purpose, and not suppose to lead anywhere at all in future too :>

(+1)(-1)

Of course every character will 'eventually' get their own full questlines. Like what is happening with Pi Lip's puppets, Jiaohua's keys, etc etc. So don't worry, eventually they will all have full stories on where it ends up.


As for hints on the specifics, for that you'll just have to wait and see! :D

Lovely game, can't wait for new updates! Just a small suggestion: please check the screen sizing in windowed mode. Some parts, like the cultivation room, lack a scrollbar, making it impossible to reach certain buttons.

(-1)

Glad you enjoyed it! Im always looking to fix scrollbar issues, can you be specific of which dialogs need fixing?

(-1)

Sure! In the Training Grounds, on the screen to select a tier, the "Begin Challenge" button is only available in fullscreen mode, or it will be completely hidden.

In the Disciple Room (and similar rooms), the Condensation Chamber has the same problem; the "Condensate" button is barely visible, and there is no scrollbar to make it fully accessible.

I also remember the same thing happening during the last breakthrough when entering Core Formation, but it's been a while, so better to confirm it >_<

Please fix the tutorial part we can't pass it

What part of the tutorial are you stuck on?

 Especially for the blind people. We have a gaming forum for blind gamers i'm gonna send you the topic link and if you can take time and register that would be so nice and so many other problems would be fixed especially for screen readers. https://forum.audiogames.net/topic/57795/is-ascend-from-nine-mountains-fully-acc...

Hello. Ive been searching around for an i tem called "Core Demon pill". Where can i get that?

You can get the recipe for it in the sect recipe library

Hello.

I am a blind player using a screen reader.

I am stuck during the tutorial quest Learning The Ropes.

The quest does not progress after I master a technique.

I restarted several times and had this problem each time after a mastery.

I suspect the tutorial blocking the quest from triggering, but I cannot fix the problem.

What can be done about that?

(2 edits)

Hello, i'm not a game developer, but i was curious if i can help with bypassing your problem.
First, can say that, i played more than 70 hours in this game, and its not easy. Even with both eyes and my brain working, sometimes its overwhelming, its very heavily rely on pressing buttons, sounds in the game would not help much, if you can't see, mostly you would have to rely on memory, and reading each button description before pressing it, and on some menus, there's dozens of buttons like, literally 90% of gameplay is that. Its a good game, but its not easy to play as enjoying it this way.

So, you are stuck at quest Learning The Ropes, after mastering the technique ?
Just to make sure, ill describe sequence of actions needed to master the technique, until whole sequence ends and next step of tutorial starts.
First, you open window with stances, techniques, etc (button "S" on keyboard by default).
Next, go to Techniques tab. Then you select technique,  Advancing Fist. Then it comes tutorial window with text, Click anywhere on the screen to close it. After that, pressing Attempt mastery. Another tutorial window, close it again. Then comes tutorial window with pointers to press the button, which upgrade the rarity of effect that you rolled, by mastering the skill. Pressing that button, then tutorial window again,  that teaches about button, right next to upgrade one, with reverting the upgrade option. Pressing anywhere to close tutorial window, then another window, close again, then confirm. Then closing window of Advancing fist mastery. Closing again window with tutorial, after it closed, it asks to head to "crafting actions" submenu, to pick Simple Fusion option, and attempt mastery on it too. New window with tutorial, close it again, press confirm. Close window of menu. Close window of techniques. Now this part of quest is finished. Can press on learning the ropes button again, to progress the quest.  After that, you talk to character, and progress the story. If you can point on exact step where the progression is stuck, i can look into it and see what could be wrong. Also, game is updates from time to time, so it might be a bug in older version of the game.

Hello.

Thank you for your answer.

The problem happens if the screen reader does not read the tutorial text and there is no way to dismiss it.

I no longer have that save file.

I will have to start again when I want to play.

I did not try on the newest version.
Screen reader not always reads the tutorial text for some reason.

This is not the first case of getting stuck because of the tutorial.

This is just the latest itteration.
In this case the problem is probably that I am unable to read the tutorial text when it appears and close it.

I can only read the window with techniques and mastery.
That blocks the quest progression,even when all possible techniques, crafting and fighting, are mastered.

If it doesn't read all the text on the screen, sadly, there is no much can be done, if problem is not fixed in screen reader. Some parts of tutorial require to click specific button on screen to proceed, and this can't be closed by clicked anywhere on the screen, only specific button or after doing specific action. I think i described each step of the sequence where you might got stuck. If you need more pointers, feel free to ask, but i honestly think there is better games to play as blind player, game itself is good, but not really designed to be played only with screen reader i assume. Also, good luck gamer, stay strong (heart emoji)

Do you have any plans for a mobile version?

(-1)

No. Mobile would require far too much reworking to be viable. Sorry!

(-1)

No problem mate

This game is an absolute blast.  Though I am wondering what happended to the sounds that played during battles.  Thay all stopped playing maybe 2 updates ago.  Also lyeeedar just to let you know, it has become harder for a blind player to make their way through the mystical regions.  I don't know why that is, but after selecting a key it is no longer possible to tab into a list of choices for that region.  Thankfully for now there is a work around for the blind, so this isn't urgent.

Glad you're enjoying it! I'll look into those bugs you have reported, thank you for raising it.

Not a problem.  I'm still having lots of fun.

Man, i have dumped an unholy amount of hours in this game, one of the best xianxia games I've played. I hope this gets put on steam. One small gripe, i dont understand the pillars creation breakthrough. Is there a guide anywhere?

Its coming to steam very soon! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3992260/Ascend_From_Nine_Mountains/

As for Pillar Creation, no guides yet as its still being tweaked / iterated on. Once that is completed, I'm sure there will be more guides and information available.

Purchased on steam, keep it up man.

I put like 19 hours into this game in the last two days. This is the best cultivation game I've ever played,  im looking forward to its future. Also i think itd be neat if blood path techniques were more difficult to come by. You shouldn't be able to get them from anywhere public like the sect/ town market. Also it'd be interesting if it was something you need to hide from people. Sorry I've been reading too much reverend insanity 

(1 edit)

This game is much better then the majority of xianxia games on steam. I believe it has an incredibly bright future, when 1.0 is out

How do you beat the Bifang Manifestation? I've tried everything I could think of and still the most I can do is get it down to the 50,000 HP range.

(+1)(-1)

If you want build advice I would suggest coming on the discord. We have a lot of people willing to help, and sample builds to look at to improve your own.

Thank you a lot. I'll try and farm some fruits and give it a last try, if it doesn't work out I'll pop up on discord

(-1)

waiting for the version 1.0 :D

(-1)

Does anyone have any news about the developer? I hope he's okay and hasn't given up on the project.

(+2)

No, I'm just taking a break due to work. I should be back working on the game in a week or two.

(1 edit) (+1)(-1)

This game is awesome.  I've spent every day of the past week and a half playing it.  Here's my five bucks.  You deserve it.

The only criticism I have is quality-of-life stuff, like the amount of clicking it takes to do things.  My carpal tunnel is killing me lol, and I already know whatever creature has "fallen before me" because I just spent the time to kill it .  

And some others:

  • Having an option to automatically enter a place when I click on it in the world map, so I don't have to click twice.
  • An option to disable the flavour text that appears before and after battles if you've already beaten that creature before, or just at all.(less clicking)
  • Binding the right mouse button to the "escape" method to close out of any windows so we don't have to click the X at the top every time.
  • It would also be nice to have an option to check a box for auto-battling, though it seems like you may already be working towards that.
  • And perhaps make it so we can access the material compendium at any time with a button on the character overlay in the bottom left, instead of having to move to our rooms or the first mountain to read it every time.
  • Basically the less clicks it takes to accomplish any action, the happier I, and my wrists, will be lol

That's all I can think of right now, but otherwise this is a great game.  Very imaginative.  I look forward to seeing how it all comes together.

Hello i am wondering how do you get the qi vessel to breakthrough to core formation?

You can get one from the core altar in any Mystical Region that contains a core altar (look on the key to check, but its the purple and red keys).

Deleted 1 year ago

Really glad you're enjoying it!

If you hop onto the discord I'm more than happy to chat more. Theres actually a mod framework if you want to try to make something, if that works out / you want to come onto the project deeper then we can discuss that!


For the realms, I mostly only have vague ideas for realms except the current one, so not fully.

How many core compression altars are there? I only found nine and its troublesome to wait for another 6 yrs to become pillar creation.

There are 9 in the game

you only need to compress nine times tho? It should only lock you out of the compression alter for like three months if you fail. 

I meant 8 instead of 9. I have no idea why I input nine. I already found the ninth at the Gate of Slaughter. I went all the way to the wastelands risking my life in hopes of finding the ninth. Then realized it was at the Gate of Slaughter the entire time. I wasted my time.......

waiting for full release of this game Love it..

Maybe I'm just suck at this game, but the difficulty spike from first realm to second realm is too much for me. Everything is too hard to craft now, and I can't even accept sect mission of previous realm.

(+2)

Yeah currently it can be kinda hart when changing realms because all missions and such are now for the new realm.
Though I reported that to the DEV and suggested to make the missions transition slowly based on your stage in the new cultivation. So with future version this will probably change and you won't have that big difficult spike in the beginning (later on the difficulty doesn't spike at much from realm to realm, it's more noticeable early on).

If you got a strong build later on going up a realm won't even be challenging, I actually made a build that I could fight weak creatures of the next realm pretty easily
