This sounds awesome! The UK is always weirdly lacking in any kind of UK-made games showcases! How does one apply?

AETHUS is an underground survival-crafting game, focused around a proper story with full voice-acting, that I'm developing solo after leaving my AAA job!

Think a more story-driven #Subnautica, set in alien caverns... πŸ‘©β€πŸš€β›οΈ

Check out the demo and wishlist on Steam!

AAA strikes again. Ginormous megacorp prefers to settle for big cash in 30+ employment tribunals for wrongful termination rather than allow unionising! Take them for all they're worth and then go start your own crew, gang! ✊

If you want to help the game and haven't left a review yet, maybe you could do so now? It dropped from 94% to 91% positive thanks to this chap, so your help means a lot!

Today's joyful gamedev experience - a negative review for the demo from someone who hates tutorials! But... apparently can't spell or form coherent sentences.
