Gameplay Deep Dive #1 & Publishing Update

Hello again, Pioneers! I hope you're having a lovely summer!

Gameplay Deep Dive

I'm pleased to present the very first Gameplay Deep Dive - 'The Menagerie'!

In this video, come with me as I take you through various game features as you get your first introduction to Trudy, we work to populate a corporate menagerie by collecting some mysterious eggs, and earn some extra credits for our effort!

If you enjoyed it and would like to see more, I'd love to know what you'd enjoy a Deep Dive to focus on.

If you like what you've seen and haven't done so yet, you can go ahead and try out the free demo!

If you were paying attention in the last month or so, you'll have seen an update about AETHUS being published by CULT Games.

I wanted to update you all to let you know that this won't be moving forward and AETHUS will continue to be fully indie and self-published. I retain full control over every aspect of the game and its IP.

This decision was a difficult one to make, but I now firmly believe that the best path forward for the game is to be completely independent.

Rest assured that the game is coming along incredibly well, and I will be running the final playtest of the game in the next couple of months!

What this does mean though is that I will need your help more than ever in spreading the word about the game, sharing content like the Deep Dive above with people you think might enjoy it, and making sure you Wishlist and Follow the game.

If you've played the demo and enjoyed it, I'd really (really!) appreciate it if you would drop even just a couple of lines as a review on the demo page - it really helps with visibility!

Thanks as always for your support in making AETHUS as successful as it can be! <3

As always, until next time!

Alex and Apollo.
