Aground - Backer Items

Aground Backer Items DLC Released!

As some of you may be aware, we ran a Kickstarter for Aground to fund development from the early web version until the early access release. We released exclusive items and weapons at different tiers for backers of the Kickstarter to thank them, and many players who missed the Kickstarter were upset they could no longer obtain these items.
After talking to the backers, some of these items were released publicly, but many (especially the appearance-only items) were kept private. However, after the recent update, I was asked to release these last items as DLC, and so these last exclusive items are now available with this DLC! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2382320/Aground__Backer_Items/ Pricing this DLC was strange, as the kickstarter backers needed to back at $40 to get all the items, but half of these items were already released publicly, and people must own the base game to buy the DLC. We decided $10 was a good compromise.
This DLC includes:

2 new functional weapons (laser whip and seeking missiles)
3 new hair styles
4 new facial hair styles
6 new colorable clothes
2 new colorable hats
5 new uncolorable hats
Improved appearance of previously released backer weapons

If this is something youve wanted, then I hope you enjoy it, and if not, then the core Aground game is a complete experience on its own - this DLC includes mostly appearance-related items.

If you want EVERY item ever created for the game, I also added the web specials to the Steam Workshop (previously available on mod.io):

If you were confused by the April Fools update, here are some answers: [olist]

Yes, there really was an update. Both Splicer and Alchemist have new quests.

No, this update isn't really going to be removed. You can only trigger the Alchemist's new quest if your computer clock is set to April 1st, but once complete you can continue to cat things forever (and feel free to change your computer clock if you missed it).

My cat did indeed walk across my keyboard and edit the xml files for Aground while I was making this update.

He got a piece of turkey for helping out with the update. I hope this doesn't encourage him to edit more files in the future [/olist] The April Fools update was a fun distraction (and it includes lots of cats), but now Im back to working on Aground Zero and Stardander!

As one of the last human survivors, you find yourself stranded on an uninhabited island. With a few other victims of the crash, can you craft, mine, and build your way to survival?

Aground was designed around the theme of Progression, and inspired by Utopian Mining, Starbound and A Dark Room. You start out with only the rudimentary ability to gather wood, and you can eventually build your way up to a thriving settlement, expand to other islands, develop advanced technology, and learn magic. Will you be able to confront the threat that caused you to crash? Fly dragons? Launch into space? The sky is literally not the limit.

With Aground, our goal is to keep you continually surprised, with exciting new options opening up around every corner, so you’re always wondering “what’s next?”. By the end of the game, even though there are a lot of systems and complexity, since everything has been built up bit-by-bit, it is all easily manageable.

Mine

The surface is just the beginning - there is a whole world to explore beneath. And you never know what you might find in the depths…

Build

Build a whole city for you and other survivors, with each structure adding new functionality and possibilities.

Craft

Use the materials you’ve gathered to create items, foods, and weapons to support you in your quests.

Quest

Accept quests of all sorts - raise (or slay) dragons, gain a trusty familiar, unlock fishing, manage your farm, learn to hunt, brew mysterious potions… the list goes on...

Survive

Balance your health, stamina, and carrying weight by using foods and items.

Advance

Upgrade and enhance your buildings - adventure to new islands (or new planets!) to learn higher technology and magic, and bring home your findings.

Discover

Progress through the story arcs and uncover the secrets of the planet, why you’ve been stranded here, and how to leave. But in the end, will you even want to escape?
