Adventure In Aellion
Mac Support!
The major news is that we’ve added Mac support, we’re working on native Apple Silicon support but at the moment the game runs great on both Intel and Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2.
Adventure In Aellion also supports cross-platform play between Mac and Windows PC so you don’t have to worry about leaving anyone out.
Our work on Mac support has taught us all a great deal and hopefully we’ll be able to use that experience to bring Adventure In Aellion to Linux and other platforms in the near future!
Our next piece of news is that we’ve gone through a major engine upgrade to Unreal Engine 4.27
Because of this the game runs better, has improved lighting and helps to support our work to move the game to one persistent level so players in multiplayer can travel wherever they want without worrying about the level the other players are on!
We’ve been working hard on these updates and we apologise for the time it took to get this update out, creating a Mac version proved quite challenging but we got there. A few supporters have been asking for a project roadmap and that’s something we want to post sooner rather than later. We have had to change our own time estimates due to how much work this new update took. we would definitely like to get the new dungeon in at least a playable “teaser” state for you all by summer, including the persistent level loading.
Thanks once again for your support and we hope you enjoy the new update!
