ThreeGates Launches Web-Based Character Creator for Legends of Aethereus

ThreeGates today released a web-based version of the character creator from Legends of Aethereus, its forthcoming action Role-Playing Game (RPG). The lite version of the full character creator shows off some of the customization offered in the game and is available at: http://forum.threegates.se/index.php?topic=1054.0 The game is currently targeting an October release date with the full team focused on polish and tuning.

ThreeGates is currently a release candidate on Steam Greenlight™ (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...s/?id=92957124) and anyone interested in eventually purchasing the game through Steam are encouraged to visit and vote if they want to see Legends of Aethereus on the platform. The game is being developed for Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems and the studio is exploring a version for OUYA when the console launches in March 2013.

“The character creator is a web-based lite version of the full character creator,” said Don Geyer, CEO of ThreeGates. “It’s a nice showcase in a small package of what our character creator can do in the full game. We hope it gives our Kickstarter backers and Steam Greenlight supporters a sense of what character creation is like in the game and that is gets their imaginations going as to who they want to be in Aethereus.”
