It’s incredibly fun. They might not turn into anything but it’s so wonderful to have the studio runway to be able to spend time in this phase, while being able to be a dad whenever I need to be during the workday. Really thankful.11 Jul 2026 12:01 +0000at://did:plc:t4szalin5ishmsf7lpyadbpl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqemjask4227https://bsky.app/profile/beacondev.bsky.social/post/3mq4kpcsg2c2iSuper thankful to @orbitalpotato.bsky.social for putting AETHUS in the #1 spot in his new video of all the awesome recent survival-strategy games! 💖 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GQ2ZBvd0j4&t=47s08 Jul 2026 07:07 +0000at://did:plc:t4szalin5ishmsf7lpyadbpl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq4kpcsg2c2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/beacondev.bsky.social/post/3mq4kpcsg2c2iSuper thankful to @orbitalpotato.bsky.social for putting AETHUS in the #1 spot in his new video of all the awesome recent survival-strategy games! 💖 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GQ2ZBvd0j4&t=47s08 Jul 2026 07:07 +0000at://did:plc:t4szalin5ishmsf7lpyadbpl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq4kpcsg2c2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/beacondev.bsky.social/post/3mox3zo2ebc2hAETHUS received a 'phenomenal' review from @debugmag.com in their latest issue! 👩‍🚀⛏️ So chuffed.
