After three years of work, AETHUS is out... NOW! ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿš€โ›๏ธ
This is my love letter to survival-crafting games, and it's a full 1.0 package - no EA!

$15.99 at launch for 30+ hours of proper story-driven gameplay.

Can you help me spread the word about my little indie game?

Thank you for the support!

It's a top-down game so that's intentional I'm afraid!

A Long Survival-Mining Journey Into the Caverns with Aethus Launch Trailer There's a lot of exploration in the depths of Aethus, and the story and crafting work together to always keep the action moving.

It's launch day for @beacondev.bsky.social's Aethus, a great little survival/crafting game with just enough narrative to keep the adventure moving without getting in the way. Mine with your drone/friend, upgrade tech, explore farther, and find what's hidden below.

So awesome, Danny.

My own indie game launches today, straight to 1.0 with no Early Access! I think you'd probably like it :)

AETHUS, 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!

You can restore your oxygen at the entrance to the cave, FYI!

I'm super, super happy. It was all organic as well as I saved up all my creator coverage for launch (tomorrow!) so I'm crazy chuffed!
