changedTeam Lybell: VenometoA lot of players assume Aground must be a platformer because of the side-scrolling view, and on this toxic planet, it really is! Jump dangerous pit traps, explore a large metroidvania-style level, upgrade your jumpsuit to progress further and discover more of what the planet has to offer!
addedTeam EA: Thirallan Alchemist EditionDiscover the wreckage of a colony ship in a strange new system. What caused the ship to crash? Why are the robots and drones going berserk and trying to kill you? And most importantly, are there any survivors? This ambitious mod will add an entire star system, with the colony ship mystery being just one part of the whole!
addedTeam Curatrixians: CuratrixiaJust when you thought the world was saved and the game over, a strange entity requests your help. You’ll need all your magic and skill to defeat the elemental gods in this new post-game realm!
addedTeam Zeta Labs: Wyrm TalesEver wonder what it’d be like to be a wyrm? Travelling around, mining, fighting rival wyrms, and most importantly - serving your queen. You may even be able to evolve into new forms and gain power.
