- Celebrating 10 Years of Ether One Documentary - 13 July 2024
Ether One is now 10 years old since we first launched on Steam. We were fortunate enough to get onto Steam via the Greenlight process back in 2012. Since that moment, we've been able to create games for a living and have a distribution platform for our work. We'll be forever grateful for Steam giving us our first platform to release our work on and since then many more have opened their doors. We recorded a full playthrough of Ether One with the development team in the same space the game was developed in. We discuss the origins of the game, the studio and how we released Ether One via Steam back in 2014. Please come and share the journey with us as we revisit Pinwheel and look back on how Ether One came to be: PART 1/4 - The Beginning
- A new game by White Paper Games - 2 November 2021
Hello all! We've been hard at work over the past few years to bring you a new game which shares some of its values with Ether One. It's called Conway: Disappearance at Dahlia View. It's a puzzle driven game by the same designers that brought you Ether One full of spaces to explore with a strong narrative arc which we hope you all resonate with. To thank you for owning Ether One and being part of our journey, we're giving you all an additional 10% off the purchase. Conway is on sale for the first week at 10% which means you'll get 20% off the purchase for owning Ether. We'd love it if you were able to take the time to explore our latest game and please do let us know your thoughts if you play it! We'd be interested to hear how Conway resonates with you compared to your experiences of Ether One. Conway: Disappearance at Dahlia View on Steam We hope to see you there and continue your journ…
- Investigate your neighbours in The Occupation devs' new mystery - 16 June 2021
After snooping around offices in The Occupation and memories in Ether One, developers White Paper Games will soon offer the opportunity to snoop around a neighbourhood . During E3 they announced Conway: Disappearance At Dahlia View , where we'll play a former detective in 1950s England who falls into spying on his neighbours after the disappearance of a young girl. The announcement trailer remind me a bit of Hitchcock's Rear Window, spying on people out his flat window. Have a look for yourself below. Read more
- New Ether One Redux patch is live! - 17 March 2020
To cut a very long story short, the save system needed a rewrite from the ground up in terms of how certain delay actions were handled. That in combination with an Unreal Engine version update to something more modern took a lot longer than intended. We also didn't want to rush out a patch that could make save file issues even worse. You can visit the forum for a full list of the patch notes here. Thank you all again for your patience and we hope you enjoy!
- Ether One Redux 1.0.4 Patch notes - 17 November 2016
http://i.imgur.com/2eo0BcO.jpg This patch update was quite a large one, and as a result of this, we'll be monitoring any game issues very closely over the next couple of weeks. If needed, we'll patch again quickly for anything broken in the architecture and then if no issues arise, we'll patch on console in the coming weeks (since this process takes longer than than on PC). This is a huge shift in architecture in many areas, meaning we're hoping to see increased performance, but this may also be responsible for some bugs we couldn't account for. I've written a little more about why this process took a little longer than we would have liked on our blog for those interested here : http://whitepapergames.tumblr.com/post/153295779040/a-patch-note-from-the-team Engine update: Unreal Engine has been updated from Unreal Engine 4.8.0 to Unreal Engine 4.13.0 Puzzle fixes: Included a fix for the…

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38267231/Ether_One_Mayday.png Happy May Day Pinwheelians! To celebrate we'd love to know everyone's most memorable May 1st experiences in Pinwheel. What did you all enjoy the most about spending time in Pinwheel & Ether One? Were you the type of player to wander through the environment just picking up the narrative? Or did you try to unravel every puzzle in the game? Possibly a mix of both? Did the story connect with you on an emotional level? Could you relate to the story personally? Has it helped you understand or relate to dementia in any way? Whatever your thoughts, we'd love you to share them here! :)
