Patch 1.06

A friend came to me today with an issue with super long loading times. Turns out when FPS is capped at 30, it had all sorts of unforeseen side effects. Also took the opportunity to optimize a few things.

  • Resolved an issue where levels would take a long time to load when FPS was capped at 30
  • Repaired some error messages which could help with performance in the Excavation area
  • Slightly improved performance on new portals
Peace!

Patch 1.05

Peace in, Here's another quickie patch, this one finally (hopefully) solves the floating light paths issue as well as a couple of other things. More patches to come as new issues are brought to my attention.

  • In "Isolation Cube" in the Vivarium, the light path for the button should no longer be floating
  • Colliders for both extending bridges have been raised, to prevent jumping over the door
  • Completing the game under 3 hours while using auto-complete will no longer trigger the speedrun achievement
  • Repaired the look of the back button in the "Player choices" menu
Everyone have a great weekend! ^_^

Patch 1.04

Hey guys, Apologies for the delays but I've been with family for the past few days. Some really good finds by the community on this one, thank you to everyone posting comments in the Community section, I read them all and I'll try to address as many of them as possible.

  • Rebinding the E key now works properly
  • In Step out into the Sea (Vivarium tutorial), when walking through a regular (cyan/magenta) portal, it no longer glitches on the other side
  • In Shine on Through (Upper Narrows), grabbing the cyan light captor is no longer problematic
  • The green freeze effect on round doors now has a hole when the door is open, to be consistant with other open doors
I thought I had solved the floating light paths in Isolation Cube (Vivarium #1) but the issue remained when I tested on Steam, so another update will come soon enough for that and other elements as well. Thanks a lot for all of your support!

Patch 1.03

Hey guys, Here's a third patch (a small shadow update happened on Sunday), thanks again to everyone posting these issues, I'm covering as many as I can:

  • In That Infernal Tower, Rotated some light paths connected to a button
  • Raising gates now have a wider grab blockers to prevent grabbing through
  • Transition between Upper Narrows and Vivarium now works properly, previously it would sometimes not load the Vivarium correctly
  • The glass windows at the start of the Vivarium now show underwater foliage
  • An additional option was added to video, to remove portal rendering, which will improve performance.
More updates to come, thanks a lot!

Patch 1.01 is live


Hey guys, First, a huge thanks to everyone's who's bought the game, you guys are amazing. I've been keeping track of the issues you guys found and will be patching them gradually as time goes on. For now, here's the first patch notes:

  • "Shine on through", removed a carpet which showed in the narrows
  • "Observation center", removed a shelf improperly set on the ground
  • Distance on the emancipation field LOD
  • In "Getting over the hump", added a collider to prevent the player from mantling above the ceiling
  • Updated round doors to help prevent carrying objects to the other side
  • Updated the sound because higher volume was causing audio deterioration
  • Saves from the demo no longer appear in the full game (including "Continue game")
  • Names of saved rooms now properly display on Save and Load, before it would display the prototype names
  • Loading a game while holding a carry teleporter will no longer have an extended laser beam with sparks
I hope you guys are enjoying the game, remember that there's 6 endings to find. Who'll be the first to get all 6? (that's not me...)

Aethernaut AMA - Open world first person puzzle by a single developer

Hey everyone, and welcome to my upcoming fifth game. Developed entirely by one man, I'm proud to showcase AETHERNAUT, an open world first person puzzle game, and encourage you to drop in and all all the questions you'd like. Explore an abandoned laboratory and complete the experiments found within to save a world on the brink of peril... if so you choose. By changing the properties of light, you will trigger sensors, cast shadows, freeze objects in time, even create portals, travel through time and cross dimensions. But as you move forward, you will need to answer difficult philosophical questions which will guide the story along. Your answers will also be compared to those of other players online.
