Thanks SO much for covering AETHUS, Splattercat! ❤
-
The Era of Scottish domination of space has come. Warhaggis 40K - looks great anyway
-
Don't worry Gordon, the possibility of a resonance cascade is extremely unlikely
-
I'd like the camera tiltet down a bit, so you can actually see more of the world. Other than that I reaaally dig the accents. Especially of the little robot guy. Genuinely enjoyed that.
-
Splat likes big buttons, and he can not lie.
-
The camera looks a bit uncomfortable, it's unintuitive having a character who is standing looking forward in a situation where the character would be able to see way farther than the player's perspective reveals. I think it should be tilted back a bit so that you can see in the looking direction a bit farther.
-
the voice acting is really really good.
-
"Here goes nothing!" Famous last words and the beginnings of every video game. The camera definitely needs to be changed. Just watching it, I felt I was invading the characters personal space. Needs to be able to zoom out a bit and also titlable (I felt like I was looking too far straight down and not enough at the horizon). I do love the voice acting - the accents are exquisite. Overall, certainly not a bad first demo release.
-
Building the habitats anywhere and no apparent terrain clipping is really nice. I've seen triple A titles that don't do as well.
-
Yeah, here in the UK, 'homely' means cozy or comforting in a way that feels like being at home. I'd never heard your meaning before, but wiktionary tells me it's the US and Canadian meaning.
-
Homely means making a space comfortable enough to live. An unpretentious cosy space. The use to mean a plain looking or unattractive person is a secondary definition.
-
I lived in Inda for a few years, in an area were they still have arranged marriages. Mothers would advertise their single sons and daughters in the paper and would refer to their daughters as 'Homely'. I had to ask a friend, apparently there it mean 'good with household activities'. On a related note, during the same time, at the doctor, I was asked if I was Paining?. In other words, 'was I feeling any pain'.
-
Robot does 99% of the work while she just stands there lol.
-
Love the accent of the characters - we need more games with different accents, not just American or British English.
-
I'm enjoying it a lot. one QoL that I'm super happy about is being able to move built objects without disassembling things. something ALL these games need nowadays.
-
Seems like a cool game. Thanks for showing this Splat.
-
homely: (of a place or surroundings) simple but cosy and comfortable, as in one's own home: British
-
I have watched like five splattercat games in the past two days and this one has resulted in a download.
-
Hey dude, I am cool with it, but that's my thumbnail you're using for the video. Made with AI so I don't "own" it but did modify it and added the title text, etc... for my live stream of this. 👀
-
I always like this visual style in games (maybe I've been too conditioned by commercial/digital art?), and the dialogue and voice acting sound great with just the right level of energy (engaging without being stilted or overacted). Heading to the Steam page after this. :D
