Funded project AETHUS launches today! Check it out below.
Alex Kane | AETHUS IS OUT NOW! 👩🚀⛏@beacondev.bsky.social · 5mo agoAETHUS, my solo-indie debut, launches straight to 1.0 (no Early Access!) TOMORROW, March 6th! Story is so often an afterthought in survival-crafting games... Not so in AETHUS - fully voice-acted, there's always a narrative reason to head underground or build up your mining base! #IndieDev
"... never once having had the feeling that I was stuck or that the story slowed down. There’s always something interesting to see or do. If you enjoy absurd science-fiction humor, this is a title you don’t want to miss!" 💪💪 Thanks Johnny!
Johnny Nys - The Point 'n Clicker Game Blog@little-writer.bsky.social · 5mo ago"Earth Must Die!" is pure escapism with a very stylistic graphical design, which personally made me think of a combination of Disney’s "The Emperor’s New Groove" and Dreamworks’s "Megamind", except wrapped up in the absurd British humor of Douglas Adams. I reviewed it for @nicegamehints.bsky.social!
The #RogueBots2026 Steam Festival is LIVE and Hyper Sentinel Fusion is part of it. Check out the 220 bot-themed roguelite and roguelike games & wishlist! #RogueBots Also we are 94% funded on Kickstarter!❤️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...

Dan Marshall@danthat.bsky.social · 6mo agoAS FAR AS I KNOW, because tbh I am not really paying attention, we are into the FINAL 24 HOURS in which you can get EMD crazy cheap instead of just normal cheap. It would help me out SO MUCH if you could all just buy it pls. store.steampowered.com/app/3639780/...

Thanks also to everyone @nomorerobots.io for your support, patience, expertise and money. Likewise @ukgamesfund.bsky.social for seeing through my bad programmer art and believing in the project. EMD would be literally and metaphorically half the game without all of you.
