My biggest dream as a game developer is coming true later this month at @evo.gg!
My first shortform video. It took me 5 hours to make a video that is 90 seconds long. I’ll have to get faster since this apparently what videogame marketing looks like now.
This is how we made a brand new special attack for one of our oldest characters 🐳

Rivals of Aether II is EVO Mainstage next year! WE DID IT!
Happy 10 Year Anniversary to a little indie game known as Rivals of Aether. Who knew it would grow into a franchise with 6 games across 5 platforms. We even made a comic at one point and to celebrate our anniversary, I'll post the first issue for everyone to read :)
You're gonna want to tune in at 1 PM PT this Friday. We're revealing something pretty cool imo.
Tune in to Day 1 of #Evo2025 to catch this year's Evo Showcase, featuring a variety of exhibitions, panels, and other programming! Plus, don't miss Evo Sunday Arena Features & Announcements from fighting game devs before every Top 8.
I'm going to rocky montage train then win Evo so we can get some of our pot bonus back. This is the only viable way to keep Aether Studios profitable.
With the introduction of the Extended Lineup, we'll be crowning a total of 16 Evo Champions at #Evo2025. Who do you want to see take home an Evo title this year?
Somehow, I've been making platform fighters for over 20 years now.

The crowd at Genesis X2 got to see Olympia in Rivals of Aether II before anyone else.
Rivals 2 is the first game up for Finals Sunday at Genesis X2!
there are only 3 kinds of game producers. i will not explain
Me: I tried to get back into Melee but it was too hard so I started Rivals of Aether so there could be a game like Melee but easier to get into. With a modern buffer and other improvements to player intent. Our fans on our nolt board:
So now that Etalus is out, who’s gonna be the next character? I’ll collect the bets and use the money that doesn’t pay out to make the other characters.
We have two community managers at Aether Studios. One can only tell the truth and one can only lie. They both said that the game is balanced after the latest patch.

So happy to be celebrating our Game Awards nomination with all my new bluesky friends. Oh wait... we didn't get nominated. At least I still have a bunch of bluesky friends. Right? RIGHT?!
