Great job. Looks like a fun game.
"higher ups can always change their minds.... Boooy, isn't that the truth..." Heh heh heh heh heh!!!! I had to stop the video, I was laughing so hard..... Heh heh heh! Wow...

[@Glidercat]

What's true is true! 😸😸😸😸

[@PawsmonautGames]

Thanks again for playing, GliderCat! ❤

[@Glidercat]

AETHUS is a lot of fun!! I can't wait to experience the full game. Keep up the great work!! 😻

[@michaelmacdonell4834]

I like the aesthetic. Sort of LEGO - meets - Wallace and Grommit.
I also like the gameplay - I'm about to go do something else, and I'm at @ 35 minutes in - This is another game going on the Wishlist Of Doom!

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Not gonna lie, the colors of the chests are barely discernable, even if you have amazing color vision, so don't feel bad..... That's hopefully something the devs can correct later....

Camera is a little clunky to me, but it seems like an interesting game. I'm curious to know more about the story, since the intro left us with more questions than anything else.
As for that engineering report it was labeled 12-OC. I wonder if that's the clue to the passcode.
If it is I have three ideas: 1200, 1203 and 12153.
There wasn't a hint how long the code is supposed to be, but idk might be worth a shot.

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

I feel like I would take a good hard look at that water pump.... Makes me thirsty just watching your water level go down.....

[@Glidercat]

I couldn't figure out how to make the existing water pump work, but I think you can build a new one.

Starting to be many games of similar type. I like to play in 1st person, with 3rd as an option or a good map/overview function, maybe a drone. Second important is graphics, that tells how much effort is put down to add to the immersivity.

[@Glidercat]

I browse so many games every day that I end up seeing tons of games that look similar to each other. With dozens of new indie game projects starting every day, it's inevitable they won't all be completely innovative.
It's awesome when I find one that is truly unique. Those tend to come from developers that have a very strong idea for a game right from the start. I think a lot of game devs start by wanting to develop "something" and then search for ideas. The most unique games seem to come from devs that have a very strong vision for their game well before they ever start working on it. All just my opinion.
As far as graphics, for me it really depends on the game. I have a very hard time with overly pixelated games like Minecraft and Vintage Story. I'm sure both of those games have tremendous depth and compelling gameplay, but I really dislike that visual style. Other games like Nova Lands, Starground, HexFactory, etc., may not have my favorite visual style, but the gameplay is so enjoyable that I don't seem to mind.
Then there are games where the graphics are so good and/or unique (in my eyes, at least) that I almost want to just watch more than play. Upcoming games like Microtopia and Starminer are in that category for me.

[@StyxAnnihilator]

@@Glidercat Can relate to much of this, along most of the games are Early Access or even before that. More choices can become quantity selectable than quality.

[@borisbosnjak4812]

Interesting find! Looks promising. The game is screaming for first person perspective, though :-) Not really a fan of third-person...

[@raesluder4260]

Engagement.

[@equitime77]

Engagement to your engagement

[@Prometheansky]

Gameplay looks interesting, but that voice acting is pretty rough. Not irredeemable, a better director could have coaxed a more acceptable performance out of the VAs.

[@Glidercat]

It's funny you say that because I really like the voice acting as it is.

[@teridero1]

I guess the numbers are barely discernsble for you.
