Launch day is finally here! We're proud to announce Dungeons of Aether is now available on Steam.



To celebrate our launch, we're on sale for a special introductory price of $13.49 (10% off).

You can also pick up some cool merch this week like our special launch poster, or Fleet plush from Symbiote Studios.

Dungeons of Aether is a turn-based dungeon crawler designed by Nikita ‘ampersandbear’ Belorusov from the Aether Studios team. Rivals of Aether is known for its intense competition and twitch skills, while Dungeons of Aether allows you to take things at your own pace - but it’s still just as challenging! Every choice you make can lead you deeper into the dungeons or to an early demise. Will you carry out a treasure chest, or be carried out in a pine box?

Welcome to a very special Devlog! Today we will talk about some changes we made in the previous weeks, but we also have great news to share with you, but first things first: We made multiple changes to the tutorial following the addition of new mechanics. All possible jobs are now talked about, and the pacing has been hugely improved.



Progress has been made towards improving and adding new songs and sounds to the game, mixing things so that everything works better and in harmony (and the jump scares are more plentiful and impactful!). We also tweaked the lightning in the game to make everything more atmospheric and moody.



Also, there are some neat usability and polish changes. These come with new models for the systems that the player can install in all contracts (CCTVs, motion sensors, alarms and remote doors) beside small fixes like making every object that is stackable fit on the cart automatically when dropped.



Last but not least we also would like to announce that we will be doing an open beta! We want to invite everybody on March 31 to participate in the playtesting and get a taste of everything in the game! So, stay tuned in the following weeks for more news on how things will be scheduled.

Calling everybody to be part of our beta:

Hello defenders! Once again, we meet with news of a new update, version 0.7.2 has just been released with some more fixes and improvements.

- Added support for DX 11
- Added more graphics options in Options -> Video, so you can make the game look as terrible (or good) as you want.
- When first running the game, we start a benchmark to determine if you’re running the game on a toaster, and we set the initial graphics options suited for your hardware.
- Wrong reward was shown in the campaign if the level you just finished had no reward.
- Worker reward at level 9 was missing from the rewards bar; he is now there, waving at you.
- Level 9 had a path where ground monsters were flying over the gate…their wings had been cut off.
- Animation on the map, which unlocks a new level, was painfully slow, we changed its batteries, and now it's three times faster.
- In level 8, sometimes the prince would materialize at the start of the level into a fence, incapable of moving. He now knows better.
- Tutorial was asking you to load a rune but was pointing to another; it’s like he wanted you to fail.
- Redesigned path highlights before a wave starts. The direction of the wave should be much more clear now. No Joke!
- The stairs in level 10 were too high for the prince to get on them, or he needed to workout more, but in any case, we made them smaller for our highness.

Here's another round of fixes and small additions:

• Added signal sound to cutscene 22 (thanks Djigallag)
  
• Planet transitions in cutscenes now have a small effect (thanks Djigallag)
  
• Cutscenes now have a low ambient noise in the background (thanks Djigallag)
  
• You can now use L2/R2 or LT/RT or G/H to decrease/increase gamespeed in-game
  
• Using the "turn cross" ability you can also turn them off now if all squares are turned already (thanks Djigallag)
  
• Adjusted level 10 so you don't get hit by a drone immediately after loading the level
  
• Added restart button instead of "return to title" button in campaign and challenge mode levels (thanks Darrn)
  
• You can now leave some menus with SPACE (thanks Darrn)
  
• Clicking on slider arrows left or right is now a bit better (i.e. Audio volume)
  
• When checking controller glyphs, the example display is now forced to show controller icons (thanks Darrn)
  
• Mouse cursor now gets hidden when playing with controller or keyboard
  
• Slightly increased speed when moving cursor with controller stick
  
• Level editor: Fixed broken seeker being in front of level editor settings after playing once (thanks Darrn)
  
• Fixed background of options not having their own blue tiles
  
• Fixed WASD not working correctly in menus (thanks Darrn)
  
• Fixed white line showing through in cutscenes where Neek and Adalina get displayed
  
• Fixed issues with resolution check at startup. Switching to fullscreen also switches resolution correctly now (Thanks Darrn, Kowi, Hobo, Millie)

HUMANITY is an action-puzzle game that combines traffic flow puzzles with 3D platforming. The demo we just released (you have downloaded it, right?) features 10 stages—a sample of what can be found in the full game. Here are some tips to get you through!

Tell the humans to walk faster
Hold down Shift on the keyboard or R2/right trigger on a controller and make the horde of humans go faster. A must for testing out routes in either the Demo's levels or user-made stages.

Simplify simplify simplify
A lifehack if ever there was one but it also applies in-game to HUMANITY! If you suddenly have a lot of commands littered all over the ground, you're probably making the situation just a little bit more complicated than it needs to be. Try deleting the directions that you know definitely are not the simplest/shortest route and go from there.

Retry to clear your head
Sometimes, we all need a reset button. There is no penalty in retrying stages, and sometimes getting a clear view of the goal can help you create a practical action plan. There we go giving life advice again, but it's worth remembering in the game!

Soul-surfing can be a lifesaver
Some of the jumps in HUMANITY are maybe just a little too far. Remember that the Shiba can soul-surf within the people. Just hit jump, then jump again to join with the stream of people, then navigate amongst them freely. Use that to get to ledges when a standard jump can't quite get you there. Press jump once to exit the people.

A better way to judge jumps
As you frolic and hop around each stage as the Shiba, note the little dot of light shown on the ground below you. This will help you judge long jumps or jumps from high surfaces. If you jump and don't see the marker on a surface, you're not going to make it! Ahhhhhhh!

You can't command the Others
In the demo, you'll meet the Others, a rival group to the humans you're currently leading. Try as you might, you won't be able to influence the Others' path. When your humans wade into a path of Others they can lose their way a bit, and if you're escorting Goldy, they'll run off! Try to clear a path instead.



Now go forth and clear the stages in the demo, hopefully with these tips fresh in your mind! Having trouble? Join our Discord (https://discord.gg/enhance) and follow us on Twitter (twitter.com/HumanityGame) for more on HUMANITY.
