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!
Germany is watching our mod and you guys have downloaded way more than 1000 times.
The latest and greatest version of Ether can now be found in the download section.
We 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...
One of the most unique and innovative HL2 mods I've played to date! Kudos to the devs! Here's a walkthrough and review I made of this mod:
When I download the mod and run it, nothing opens. Rather, it says I'm playing Source SDK Base on Steam. But of course, nothing changes, and the mod doesn't run. I have no idea what to do.
I felt dumb in this mod, it was obv what i was supposed to do, but heyy its me right... Loved the mod though, very unique :)
Did a PlayDB if someone wants to check me being extremely dumb O.o
Not a stick.
The GRAVITY STICK!
I can see a big future for this mod.
Different "weapons" ;D
A storyline and everything! :)
This is great. A good change from shooting.
This was a weird funnie mod , I don't really like this kinda mod but this one was fun and i played it .. that's a good thing x) I like it i mean yeah it was good and fun thanks for making a funnie mod
Thank you for the kind words.
i like some of you maps
What is my goal? Is there one? Or is it just make tiff float?
The current goal is just to get from pont A (where you start) to point B. The "problem" is the point B is located behind the player when you start and can be a bit confusing. This will probably be changed in the next release.
