Aetherus | The Var, Guardians of Aetherus

I had time to run a different round of showcasing! Since the last update, I’ve updated the art, especially within the caves, and added textures for all unique structures except the cave shrine. I added an early version of the lighting and skybox to add atmosphere, as well.

Last update covered the new vision behind the game and the world of Aetherus. Now, it’s time to reveal some of the in-engine progress I’ve made within the past week. To preface, I am using Unity 2019.2.17f1 to build this game. I’ve chosen not to upgrade to 2019.3+ due to interface and other changes.
