Indie developer ThreeGates has released a new update for its co-op action-RPG Legends of Aethereus that in part makes the game more playable for gamers with low-end machines, optimizing the game for lower hardware specs.
According to studio CEO Don Geyer, ”Some members of the community have not been able to experience the game as we intended and we are working hard to make sure they can enjoy the game as much as they should. Legends of Aethereus is trying to do some very different things within the RPG genre in terms of combat and crafting. We know that the community will appreciate the update, which is the first of many, and also understand that RPG fans will be interested in experiencing something very different than other games they have played before. We welcome feedback on the forums and are already working on the next update which will improve upon what we’re delivering today.”
