New Update! Version 1.6 is up, for both Windows and Mac!
Hey folks! Sorry for the delay! Thanksfully, i'm finally home from that crazy week at GDC, so I was able to address all the issues that you have been reporting. - Weird clipping is removed completely - Movement against "movable blocks" is cleaner (you are going to be stopped if your "future" movement ends with you trapped) - Abnormal jumps fixed! - And other couple minor bugs fixed I hope most of you could had avoid those errors, but if you experienced some of them: i'm so sorry! I hope you could give ETHEREAL another try :) Anyway... errors may still happen because nobody is perfect haha. If you see something weird, please, send me an email to info@nonsensearts.com with the details! Thanks a lot!! - NicoRead full article on Community Announcements (cabezotta)AnnouncementsOfficial

That was most of all because of the support of all of you, specially the latinamerican communities, so we are going to thank yet again in both languages: Thanks! and Muchas gracias! We will continue to work on fixing errors and making the ETHEREAL experience as good as we can, and we also want to bring the game to every medium possible.. so, let's hope we get some good news in the near future!

New Update! (v 1.5) Only on Windows for the moment!
I made a very important fix on the last version but, as we are currently on San Francisco for GDC, I'm only able to update the Windows versions (because I don't have a Mac available here). As soon as we come back from the conference we are going to continue working on this update and update all the versions! Sorry for the trouble! :) The fix should prevent those weird jumps the player made sometimes where the player touched movable blocks and a couple of other details with the control that I wasn't pretty happy with. I'm going to continue working on this update to fix all the errors that you guys are reporting. Please, if you see anything else let us know here on the forums or send us an email to info@nonsensearts.com Thanks a lot! - NicoRead full article on Community Announcements (cabezotta)AnnouncementsOfficial
