Ether Final Build
May 10, 2008 Full Version 9 commentsWe have built the final release for you to enjoy. Sounds in the game now are temporary and we will hopefully get new ones during the summer. For now...
Ether is a puzzle game that makes use of the already implemented physics, but lets the player interact with them in a completely new way. Taking place in a world were gravity has shaped everything from animals to houses, and from weather to communication devices, the player is faced with different obstacles on her way through the game. To progress, the player has the ability to change the gravitational state of nearly every loose object in the environment using a stick. This stick can turn objects weightless, freeze them mid-air or have them fall back on the ground. Hoping to bring a brand new experience with the game play we have no intentions of leaving the visuals unaltered. The Source Engine is deeply modified to provide a vision of something new, a world that feels alive and different from what you have seen before.

We were contacted a few weeks back by Gamestar, a German magazine, and they wanted to publish our mod on their DVD this month. Of course we'd let them! It will be featured in the next issue but in all the excitement I forgot to ask what date it is released.
The song in our trailer(s) has been requested by some as well. It is now available on our site via this link. Enjoy all you want!

Where's the change log ?
I'm writing it for you now. Should be on the website in a just an hour or so.
Well its hard... When you make thins float they do not float straight up. They kind of turn. Also a lot of things turn white. And a lot of things don't move up at all.
I'd love to hear a more thorough explanation of what you're talking about. I'm interested in whether it's the controls that are malfunctioning or if it's the shaders that are not working properly.
Appreciate it if you could give us more info. Mail us or reply here.
Thanks for the feedback!
looks good
It looks good. But we're not making a movie so we'd appreciate it if you downloaded it and gave it a go.
OK I downloaded it but I don't get it at all?
That is partly how we want you to feel, but if it's confusing to the extent where you don't even know how to start the game or cannot move the character or anything in between we'd love to know.
Thanks for downloading!
I like the idea of creating stepping stones in the sky to go up and gain access to higher areas :)
That is one of our basic concepts and we hope to bring other kinds of obstacles into the game.
However or pre-beta tester did just this and broke our level design so now we have to work out ways to restrict the player =)
