AETHUS joins Tiny Teams 2025!
[h3]Hello again, Pioneers! [/h3][p]I'm delighted to announce that AETHUS is featured in this year’s Tiny Teams festival, organised by YogsCast![/p][p]I'm super excited to be joining the lineup of awesome games made by other micro-sized developers this year, and I'm hugely proud that AETHUS was selected from over 2,000 other applicants to be featured![/p][p]Huge thanks to the YogsCast crew for their trust and belief in the game and I![/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]As part of the fest, be sure to check out the free demo for AETHUS![/p][p]I've worked hard to ensure the demo provides the best possible intro to AETHUS for new players, so if you’re jumping into the game for the first time, welcome! It's great to have you! [/p][h2][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]About my Tiny Team - Pawsmonaut Games[/h2][p]![]()
If you're new around here, let me introduce myself! [/p][p]I'm Alex, and I'm the solo-dev behind AETHUS, and my microstudio, Pawsmonaut Games.[/p][p]I named my studio after my dog, a dalmatian named Apollo. You may be able to tell that space and sci-fi have always been close to my heart in my choice of names (and debut game genre and setting!).[/p][p]I am the only person working on the game day-to-day, which means I have full control over everything - just the way I like it! Quality and attention to detail are my top priorities when making the game, so I'm always striving to make sure everything I do hits the mark.[/p][p]I have some awesome freelance partners who contribute in areas like audio design, music, artwork and narrative design, but Apollo and I are the only ones with access to the game project files and everything goes through us![/p][p]I worked on AAA games at studios like Rockstar North, Build a Rocket Boy and Splash Damage before going indie and forming Pawsmonaut in 2023 to make games a bit differently - with AAA quality and attention to detail, but indie heart. No predatory business practices or microtransactions, openness and honesty in communication, and absolutely no AI content!

[/p][p]Remember, you can check out the demo during Tiny Teams 2025 and if you enjoy what you play, please leave a review! The more positive reviews we can gather, the more new people we can introduce to the game![/p][p]
