Thanks for the great comment, means a lot to us as developers. I hope you enjoy the game if you get a chance to play it.

Hi there, currently because we are using Unreal there is no direct port option to Linux. However we do know someone who says its possible, I cannot promise anything but if we can then we would really like to in the future.

Thanks for all the great comments guys! Glad you liked the trailer - keep tuned for more info soon! :D

Thanks Insolent! :)

Wow - that's a great comment Crash86! Hopefully everyone thinks that our environments hold up to HL2's!

Thanks for the comment :)

Thanks billyboob! Ha, hopefully no one trips on the rugs then! :) Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment ShrikeGFX and I totally get your point.

However we do work on both sides of the fence. We have two separate conception phases here at White Paper Games. We have initial concepts based upon reference material that are worked on by both our artists and level/gameplay designers before a block map is created. Once the block map is created it allows our artists to be more direct with the concept approach allowing them to plan assets and textures as well as general composition of the scene.

This way we work loosely as levels are being designed allowing us to iterate effectively before more refined concepts based upon structure take place. After all its the level designers job to design the structure of the environment and game play area based off reference whilst bouncing off artists for visual support. :D

Thanks my_medieval_soul! We have a few other settings that are really quite different to what we have shown so far. Expect a blog update on here later that looks at a different side to Ether One.

We are trying our best to create a solid atmosphere that really pushes different emotions depending on the area being explored. This will vary as well from more positive moods to the more oppressive ones that we have shown so far.

Thanks for the support and great comment as well, our artists are working super hard to push their abilities to the limit at the moment and soon we will be showing more products of their labours.

Hi oleoum! Thanks for the comment and kind words, we love to share our development process with our follows and the gaming community and there will be even more posts coming within the next few days so keep your eyes peeled. If you can't wait for more though you can check out our website at whitepapergames.com as some of the more up to date dev diaries are up there.

Thanks again!

Thanks sbnewsom! Its great to have this amount of support from the community on IndieDB. Check over at whitepapergames.com for even more dev diaries :)

Hi there! Sorry for the very late reply - we have been super busy developing the game. We will be revealing more info on the game next month where we will be able to send you some more info. Email us at 'contact at whitepapergames dot com' for more info and correspondence.

No jump scares in here! Puzzles make up the breadth of game play in Ether One although there are some very important abilities that you will be using that haven't been revealed yet. Hint - you are a 'Restorer' ;)

Hi! There are no monsters in the game although there is a threat of sorts that we haven't revealed yet - keep posted for some more info coming soon!

This is looking really interesting guys! Keep up the good work.

I can happily inform you that this is not another slenderman game in any shape or form! :) Thanks for the comment.

Nice aesthetics!

No problem Exigopro! We are glad you are following us and our work :)

Possibly from the description above it does sound a tad like Dear Esther. I can however assure you the game play and setting of the game is significantly different, as is the narrative. There will be more information on this in the coming months so keep your eyes peeled for more information on how Ether is going to incorporate unique narrative elements as well as a unique story.

Thank you very much MarvTheM. Keep posted for regular updates on the game and its key features :)
