    Planned Release Date Announcement

    Cadets! We hope this message finds you well and filled with holiday cheer. We are writing to inform you of a slight adjustment to our upcoming launch schedule. After careful consideration and to ensure the optimal success of our launch, we have decided to reschedule the release date from the initially planned date of December 24th to the new launch date of January 6th. The primary reason for this adjustment is the overlapping time-frame with the Steam Winter Sale, which will be taking place from December 24th to January 4th. This sale is a significant event, and we believe that the potential adverse impact on our visibility during this period could be mitigated by shifting our launch to a slightly later date. By making this decision, we aim to maximise the exposure and reception of No Pressure: Hive War without being overshadowed by the flurry of activities associated with the Steam Winter Sale. We want to ensure that our community and potential player-base have the best opportunity to engage with and fully enjoy the launch of this title. We appreciate your understanding and support in this matter. Our team is dedicated to delivering an outstanding experience, and we believe that this adjustment will contribute to a more successful launch overall. Thank you for your continued enthusiasm and patience. We look forward to sharing this exciting moment with you on January 6th. Wishing you a joyful holiday season, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Best regards, Ethereal Team

    Space Fleet Announcement #1

    Valued Space Cadets, We are working tirelessly to push past all limits and complete the final stretch of development for our game's release. With only a bit more to accomplish, we are confident in our ability to have the game ready sometime around the holidays this year. Rather than make a promise we can't keep with an exact date, we want to provide a general timeframe that we are aiming for. Through this miraculous journey from early concept to playtesting and iterations, we have made huge strides in learning and improving. We are thrilled to have you along for the ride as we reignite the essence of gaming. In the meantime, please help expand the space fleet by sharing our game far and wide. Liking and subscribing to our YouTube channel also aids in spreading the call against the looming hive war. We welcome you to try the demo and provide feedback at support@etherealindustries.co.za. Your bug reports and suggestions help us refine and polish the game for a smooth launch. Our goal is to deliver the well-deserved, polished product you deserve. Champions, go forth and spread word of recruitment to bolster our numbers in the ultimate defense of Earth. Let us share in one another's glory as we bring down the hive together. The demo represents our final product vision, though we have made enhancements since its release - more content, bug fixes, new music, and sound mixing. https://youtu.be/ClCdeEANpuE https://youtu.be/w4ph_0e828o Consider supporting us on Patreon - patreon.com/EtherealIndustries - as we work hard to bring you more great games while retaining our passion. The Ethereal Team thanks each of you from the bottom of our hearts. We hope you find joy and entertainment in our title and future releases. Best regards, The Ethereal Team
