Golfing In Aether (2022)

Golfing in Aether is a multiplayer minigolf game that supports up to 16 players online, or 4 players via split screen. One of its notable gameplay features is its randomized course layout, allowing you to experience something different every time you play.

Initially the game was created to fill a gap with accessibility when it came to PC orientated minigolf titles. Specifically when it comes to local play and being able to set options for each indiviual player.

This is a real issue when you think among most family or friends groups theres always going to be someone who at very least may want to invert their camera controls.

Golfing in Aether solves this through providing individual profiles for each local player. These allow you to store everything from the players name and customization, to controller remappings or general accessibility options. This is also a quick and easy process thanks to the full gamepad support and built-in on-screen keyboard functionality.

The floating islands theme of the game was a response to some players getting confused by the densely packed nature of standard courses. We also figured that the islands that were present during each game session could then be randomized and thus provide greater replayability.

A second functional benefit these floating islands provide is that players running the game on low end hardware may disable other islands from being rendered entirely, this helps gives the game very low minimum requirements.

The game was released for Steam on September 23rd 2022. The game supports Windows and Linux (native).

Vetron started out as an UK based asset developer in 2013, forming on the back of several successful community mod projects.

During these early years we were able to gain the valuable skills and experience that enabled us to transition towards developing videogames.

Our first game, Capsa, was a collaboration with Canadian developer db.works, and launched in 2017. Capsa is an open-world exploration game with a strong social component. Due to the nature of the title, which was client/server based, it gave us considerable experience in working with multiplayer features and online service integration.

Continuing the trend of focusing on multiplayer titles, as an independent studio we released our second game, Golfing in Aether in 2022.

We ❤️ being creative, and have a passion for developing games that can be played together with family and friends through rich multiplayer integration.
