Getting started

From zero to a working mod. The Hub does the heavy lifting — you install it once and pull in tools as you need them.

Five steps

Install the Hub

Download the AshForge Hub (Windows 10/11, ~100 MB, signed). It's the front door — every other tool installs and updates through it.

Start a mod with the Mod Kit

Open Mod Kit from the Hub to scaffold a new Ascent of Ashes mod from a template — project structure and editor extensions included.

Build your content

Reach for the tool that fits: Canvas for textures, Motion for animation, Atlas for worlds, Sentinel for AI, Chronicles for quests. See them all on the tools page.

Test it in Crucible

Run your mod through Crucible to catch problems and validate it before anyone else sees it.

Publish with Depot

Package and publish through Depot, then players install it with the Mod Loader. Browse what others have made in the mod library.
