Golfing In Aether Update Released [Alpha 1.8.4]
Todays update fixes a few more issues found in testing as well as introduces optional on-screen player names.
I wanted to give the option for these as I see it commonly suggested for other games. I always like to keep things minimalistic and not have the screen over-crowded, so this isn't just functionally floating text, theres quite a bit of added behavior to both fade out the names over a distance of 7 meters, as well as follow various other rules to just help in keeping things tidy. These names are enabled by default, you'll find the option to disable these in game settings. If you encounter any issues with player names please let me know.
There are a few other changes in the full patch notes below so please check those out. If you are enjoying playing the demo then please add the game to your wishlist :)
