Hello, Ascenders.

Since the official launch of Ascend to ZERO, this is our first time reaching out to you through『Chrono Dispatch』.

◼ A Deep Thank You to Our Ascenders

Since Ascend to ZERO's official launch, so many of you Ascenders have joined us on this journey through time.It still feels overwhelming to us that Ascend to ZERO has found a place in so many of your lives, and that you've chosen to enjoy the world and characters we've created together with us. As we think about how best to repay the interest and affection you've shown us, our entire development team continues our work each day with deep gratitude.Watching you all enjoy the content we've prepared, and discover new builds and strategies in your own unique ways, has given our whole team a great deal of strength.At the same time, we also feel regret that various bugs and inconveniences during gameplay have kept us from delivering the smooth experience you deserve.Our development team is currently putting significant effort into bug fixes and stability improvements, prioritizing the major issues that affect gameplay progress.We're reviewing every single report and piece of feedback you send us, and using it to keep making Ascend to ZERO more enjoyable and comfortable to play.

◼ Next Steps

While we continue resolving bugs and stability issues, we're also shaping the direction of our next major update based on the extensive feedback many of you Ascenders have shared with us.Our next update will focus on improving the experience during the later stages, as well as expanding content to allow for a wider variety of builds.

◼ Improving the Late-Stage Experience

We've heard from many of you Ascenders that certain elements in the later stages create excessive fatigue and discomfort during play.Based on this feedback, we want to ease the frustrating elements that occur in the later stages and improve the overall experience so that gameplay can flow more naturally.While refining the elements that disrupted the flow of the game, we're also preparing extensive polish and bug fixes so you can enjoy more comfortable combat, even in the later stages.

◼ Expanding Avatar Builds

We've received a lot of feedback that our game falls short on the "a new build every run" experience that roguelike games are known for, and our development team agrees with this feedback.With that in mind, we plan to improve certain Avatar builds that currently see low usage, and add 10 new Avatar builds.We'll be refining existing builds so that each Avatar's traits and personality can be used more effectively, while also widening the range of builds so you can choose new combinations and growth directions.

◼ Expanding "Time to Choose"

The variety of choices previously available only in the Passage of Time will now also be offered when entering a stage.The choices you make will shape your future growth direction and playstyle, letting you approach each stage in a new way every time.Through more compelling choices and greater variety, we're working to deliver a fresh experience even within the repeated journey.

◼ Please continue this journey with us!

It will be difficult to introduce every improvement all at once, but we intend to steadily resolve the issues that have the greatest impact on gameplay, one at a time.Beyond bug fixes and stability improvements, we'll keep working on balance, quality of life, and content variety to deliver an even better gameplay experience.Every bit of support and feedback you Ascenders send us gives us real strength in making Ascend to ZERO a better game.We'll keep listening closely to your voices, and repay you with even more polished updates going forward!Thank you.
