This update addresses several reported bugs and improves overall stability. It also introduces a new in-game radio feature that allows players to listen to music while playing. The update focuses on reliability, smoother gameplay, and an enhanced user experience.

We have shared a recommended layout for Steam Deck - next patch we’ll update the game and tutorial to reference the Steam Deck hotkeys rather than the mouse and keyboard commands. In the meantime...

Right trackpad serves as your mouse, holding the left trackpad is Alt so you can access extended tooltips

Left and right click are the left/right triggers or pressing the left/right trackpads

A to start casting (Space)
B to clear your fingers (C)
X to adjust game speed (F)
Y to pause (Esc)

While hovering a spell, the left/right d-pad buttons shift the recipe placement (W/S)

Shift your entire sequence with the up/down d-pad buttons or the left/right bumpers (A/D)

This layout is optimized for how we like to play - primarily by hovering spells, shifting their placement with W/S and then right clicking to place them

This layout should still work for players that prefer to left click spells and then left click fingers to place them, but you might prefer having the right trackpad be treated as a left click on press. This allows you to play almost entirely with your right thumb (for better or worse)

Let us know if you have any questions or recommendations for the layout!

General Maintenance update + Community servers

What's New?

Community Servers -
The official server build has been added to the game files! Now anyone can run their own community servers for STOCKWAVE ONLINE. This is a much more reliable method than our official matchmaking system. It's here for people wanting to run games using LAN, or set up custom events that need a quick, in-house solution.

- General Maintenance Update -
Matchmaking should be more reliable now. Some other minimal improvements and fixes have been made!


Thank you for sticking with PLEB, see you on the trading floor!

Hi! Here I am reporting for another monthly update!

Last month I added direct control for all vehicles in the game (yes, that includes helicopters, airplanes, tanks, APCs, AAs, IFVs, Transport vehicles, trucks, everything!). I also implemented some new systems for camera placement, allowing players to aim vehicle weapons basically in first person!

Here is a video showing all that:

Other news since the last update is that TLG has now over 90000 wishlists, and almost 50000 subscribers on Youtube! And I also had a great interview with "NoiceGuy" also known as "The Autistic Armchair General", here it is if you want to hear a lot more details about The Last General:

Thank you to everyone who's played the Aether & Iron demo so far and sent in feedback!! Today we pushed out our first demo update with loads of quality-of-life improvements, bug fixes, accessibility options, and several additional languages to bring Aether & Iron to even more players.

We hope these improvements smooth out your ride down the Aetherway!
