Aether Singularity Demo
Version 0.5.2 now out!
Hi!
We’ve just released a new update adding many new features, QoL improvements, content and bugfixes to the game! Since we feel some of these are fairly relevant, we wanted to take a moment to quickly present some of them.
New game intro
While it's still in a draft state (as all the game is), we've now added an intro cutscene when the game launches which provides context on the setting, for all those who didn't play Digital Exorcist (and I would say even those who did). Like the Controller Recommended screen and the Splash screen, this can be skipped by pressing ESC.
New full-screen view mode
The 3D game part of the display can now be scaled to take up most of the screen (within the game's 4:3 ratio). This is enabled by default, but you can toggle it in the video settings.

1: Legacy view. 2-4: Full game view. Some changes have been made to manage this: text prompts overlay transparently over the bottom of the view, and spells now display indicators that get colored in the mana bar since their icons are only visible when you open the casting menu. The negative space at the botom of the screen will serve the same as the left side of the legacy view at a later time. |
More challenges
Two more challenges have been added to the game, along with a menu to keep track of times, records, and a small description. Now you can brag about your times more easily! The new challenges are considered easier than the previous one, as we felt it was quite the spike in difficulty and the setups were intentionally creative rather than more standard fights. Keep an eye out for more in the future!
Other small QoL improvements and tweaks
Amongst them a quick retry menu for challenges, the ability to skip the game's intro screens, and better readability in some menus.We hope you enjoy!
