Ascent: The Space Game (Ascent:TSG) is a fully 3-Dimensional web and PC space game, developed by Fluffy Kitten Studios using the Unity Web engine. Players can trade, explore, manufacture modules, colonize planets/moons/space with land deeds and Outer Star Bases (OSB), and fight with NPC pirates. The game is currently in an Alpha release, which means additional features and content is being continually added as players play the game.
Ascent:TSG follows a Freemium model: The game is free to play, allowing a player to build settlements on two inner-system planets, mine asteroids, collect rare gases, fight pirates, complete contracts, and build a private space station. A premium subscription allows a player to mine/farm the remaining more lucrative planets in the inner-8 systems, allows outer system planet colonization and Orbital Space Base construction, fit class 6 and higher ship modules, access to more challenging pirate combat, and allows a large expansion of the player's private space station.

The Story
It began with the banks. All greed and no caution led to a chain of collapses. Businesses followed them down, and one by one the big names fell. Then the governments started going bust. First the planetary governments, then the interplanetary.
We lost our savings. We lost our jobs. We lost our homes, and we began to lose each other. There were riots for food. At first the government quelled them, but later, there was no government, and nobody to put a stop to the violence, which spread, burning through our worlds like fire through dry grass. Cities burned, and emptied, and lay in ruin.
Nobody kept the libraries, the archives, or the news feeds, and we started losing our memory, our knowledge, our technology, our future. We began to fall.
Nobody was left to keep maintaining our communications networks, our star gates between the worlds, or our space stations, and one by one, they began to fail. We have lost contact with many colonies. They are now alone in the black. Finally, burning and war torn, Earth itself was lost to us when the last of the star gates failed.
Just eight systems remain connected. A tiny portion of the military remained loyal. With no pay and little provisions, they still keep the peace. Arrayed against them are all the forces of anarchy, chaos and terror. They stand alone, holding back the flood.
Our systems are failing. Our people are starving and lost. Our factories empty and silent, our fields sown with weeds. Chaos is consuming our whole race, one town, one city, one planet at a time. We are running out of food, components, and material. We are running out of time. We are running out of hope.
We have almost lost our place in the stars.
You can change it. If you can hear this message, you are one of just 0.3% of the population whose neural patterns can interface with the control systems of a modern space craft. You can carry people and material from places of abundance to places in short supply. You can help feed the hungry, supply silent factories with goods and hands to make the light shine again. You can help us rebuild everything we have lost. Together, we will rebuild the gates and reconnect with our lost people.
And through great combined effort, we will rebuild even the gates to our lost homeworld.
Citizens of Earth. We... are going... Home.
