However, I thought you might like to meet Mr Jenkins, a very minor character without many lines but who is an important part of the setting nonetheless: watch this vid.

(ThatCrazyShaman, this is especially for you.)

As well as making the cage and accessories, I modded the TDD rat slightly to make him more docile and to squeak a more realistic amount, which is to say, not at all.

• I've done away with the episodic idea. Black Aether will now be a single release. It will take slightly longer to get it out but there's far more chance of the story being told in full, plus just one phase of testing/debugging. The modular/hub-based structure is staying, though.
  
• It will also make it easier to manage voice actors too. The plot is finalised and I'm going to be looking for one female and two male voice actors nearer the end of the year. I'm going to voice the protagonist (mainly because it makes it easier to make changes and do pickups) and two other female characters will be voiced by Iolithie (my other half and co-conspirator in Aetheric Games, who voiced Elizabeth Burke).
  
• Rather than give you arbitrary percentages or a running dev blog, I'm going to make three teaser trailers as development progresses.
  
• This teaser mostly shows the "hub" area and gives some clues about the story.
  
• The second and third teasers will show other areas, and will introduce some new features that I'm keeping up my sleeve for now, including a couple of new mechanics, and finally a glimpse of one of the custom monsters. Expect them later this year. The more I learn about estimating delivery times, the less inclined I am to do it, so I'll just say that there's still a lot of work to be done.

• Nothing in this trailer is finished 100%. It's all subject to updates/aesthetic changes.
  
• There are some interference effects in this video that are not done in-game, but they represent effects that I am working on that will be in-game.
  
• This trailer only hints at the level of interaction I'm going for - expect to be able to interact in some way with just about everything you can see. Big promises, I know! But that's what I've been sinking my time into.

Finally, here's the first of three teasers trailers for Black Aether:

The part when the guy is talking about some tapes 5 years ago and the distortion give me a slenderverse vibe and that's not a bad thing .
