Aground is Coming to PAX East!!! We made it happen, folks - we are so excited to be able to share Aground at a big expo again and meet so many fans out there! Please stop by at booth # 25047 - in the central area of the show floor, Boston, February 27-Mar 1.
Additionally, if you are in the Boston area (but maybe not attending PAX), we will also be at the Pregamer event, Wednesday Feb 26th, 6-10pm, which is free! Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pregamer-pax-east-edition-tickets-87148881651

We will be showcasing Multiplayer at both events, which is very exciting! We’ve been quietly working on Multiplayer for a long time now, and we finally have something demo-able. Multiplayer is currently in Alpha, and is stable on the starting island - visit the #beta-feedback channel of our Discord if you want to learn how to sign up for the Alpha.
We’re hoping to transition multiplayer to the public beta in early March, and go live at the end of March/Early April (right before the full launch). It’s pretty exciting, but also a crazy busy time for us - preparing for launch, finishing multiplayer, getting ready for PAX, etc. It’s been nearly 3 years since I first had the idea for this game, and while it’s definitely evolved into something more than I originally imagined, it’s also fulfilled all my hopes for the game (with space travel and everything).
We also have official translations in the works for the full version - by popular request, we’re translating the game into Portuguese and Russian. Our console publisher, Whitethorn Digital, is also translating the game into French (and is considering other languages too). Speaking of Whitethorn Digital, they will also be at PAX East (booth 28035), and they are hoping to have a Switch demo of Aground running!
We’re looking forward to seeing many of you at next week’s events, and we hope you’re as hyped for multiplayer as we are!
