There’s so much to do in Witherspring Wilds - Building, Farming, Mining, Crafting, Creature Taming, Fighting, Exploration and Magic… how will you shape the Wilds? View game page It was the massive demo of Aground that brought it to life! Now, we just released a free demo of Withe
Aground Zero started with a simple idea: What if I made a 3D spinoff of Aground focusing on base building and automation? I teased this idea with an April Fool’s joke that turned out to be very real: Now, four years later, we’ve shared another April Fool’s joke and Aground Zero i
In our last update: We had a lot of interest in a Spanish Translation as well, and today I'm pleased to announce it is done! You can select it in the options menu once you've downloaded the update. The translator also said it was tough to distinguish the lower case u from v in th
Fixed a bug that was causing frequent crashing, especially when playing in the Chinese language. This also has some stability improvements I made while trying to fix the actual crash - including backing up save files. If the game crashes during saving, it'll now make a saves.sol.

Implemented the new ShowFloatingGamepadTextInput to pop up a floating text input field for use on the steam deck or big picture mode.
After the launch and final post-launch updates of Aground, we floundered (hah) for a bit deciding what to do next. We made many prototypes - several of which were put on hold, before finally settling on two games. Yes, that’s right, we’re working on two big games right now, and i
This is a minor update that only affects Steam Big Picture mode and the upcoming Steam Deck. The game now uses the on screen keyboard, and a few tweaks to the controls have been made (the largest being that keypresses now perform actions on release instead of held, with a few exc
