Hello fellow Daoists

Long time no see! It has been over a month since Stack to Ascension launched. During this time, we have received a lot of enthusiastic feedback from fellow Daoists.

I. Update Review

The updates during this time covered various aspects. Let's review some key points.

Corpsepuppets can also participate in production;

These are not all of the updates. For specific content, you can check the update announcements on our Steam store or library page.

II. June 12 Update Preview

While optimizing the game experience, we have also noticed the feedback from fellow Daoists regarding the repetitive experience in the mid-to-late game, so during this time we have been simultaneously thinking about how to bring a deeper and more diverse game experience to everyone. We expect to update on June 12, and plan to launch some new content in this update:

1.Sect Position System: Positions such as Sect Master, Elder, and Deacon will be implemented soon. You can appoint capable disciples to corresponding positions, and each position provides different sect bonuses.

2.Inner and Outer Sect System: Disciples will be divided into two tiers: Inner Sect and Outer Sect, handling different affairs. Inner Sect disciples will have better resources.

3.New Sect Treasury: The resources produced by Inner and Outer Sect disciples every year will be stored in your own Sect Treasury.

4.More convenient character portrait replacement: Character portraits can be directly replaced in the in-game character details interface.

5.New Cosmos Decree Characters: Added three characters: Fairy Mu, Fairy Song, and Fairy Mei.

III. Subsequent Update Plans

In addition to the above content, we are also intensely preparing the update plan for the next version. Here is a brief reveal: we expect to implement Dual Cultivation and Character Relationship gameplay in the game in late July. More details will be gradually disclosed in subsequent content.

Finally, thanks again for the support and patience of fellow Daoists. If you have any thoughts or suggestions about the above content, welcome to leave a message in the comment section, we will read every single one carefully!
