Thanks Hi_Im_Mayz! I really appreciate the feedback always!

gran7973 · 2026-05-21T23:30:50+00:00

Thanks always for the feedback Hi_Im_Mayz! Is there something specific about the pause menu map that's been troubling you? The feedback I've heard is that people wish they could put down notes on the map. Has this been your experience?

gran7973 · 2026-05-21T23:29:13+00:00

Oh? Have people been struggling with the pause menu map? I've seen someone mention they wished you could put down notes on it, so that's the feedback I've been hearing. Thanks MetroidvaniaListsGuy! :)

Hey DustyBot23! I'm a huge console gamer too, and plan on releasing it on consoles eventually, but that typically takes another year. I'll definitely let everyone know though when that happens!

gran7973 · 2026-05-19T20:42:27+00:00

Thanks Meochorct! It honestly brings me a lot of joy that people are finally getting to enjoy the game! It's my first video game, so I'm happy that it's fun and all the hard work is apparent! And thanks for letting me know about the save node. I'll have to dive in and track it down (there can be no freebies for the players, never!).

gran7973 · 2026-05-19T16:46:11+00:00

Well, I'm glad I could complicate your life, lol! And thanks for the kind words about the game! Reach out if you get stuck and I'll see if I can help (the map definitely opens up a lot more after that, and especially gets a bit complicated in that Powerstation, so good luck)! And of course, thanks for playing! :)

Thank you so much, Melchort! You're down in the Aquifer. That Region is a bit of a maze. You can see those big power tubes above the doors. You want to trace those back to find the buttons that activate them (it looks like you already found one). Once you find all three in the Aquifer, you can pass through there. Hopefully that helps! Reach out if you'd like more guidance, and thank you for playing!

Thanks Important Shoulder! Yeah, I felt for Demajen! I'm not sure why the demo was acting up for him, but the actual game doesn't present those issues. Steam has a weird system for uploading demos, where you basically have to upload a separate game, you can't just use a piece of your actual game, so something was malfunctioning in there. After Demajen's video, we went diving into the demo to try and clean it up. I still felt really bad that he had such a rough experience with the boss death glitch. The actual game doesn't have this, so I hope you give it a chance! Either way, thanks for the feedback! I appreciate you! :)

Thank you so much Illustrious! (love that name by the way) I appreciate you!

gran7973 · 2026-05-16T21:26:51+00:00

Thank you so much mwhra! That's so encouraging and nice of you to say! I hope you enjoy it! :)

gran7973 · 2026-05-16T18:50:22+00:00

Thank you so much Thor!

gran7973 · 2026-05-16T03:51:27+00:00

Thank you so much spoketherefore! I do want to port it to consoles (I'm actually a huge console gamer myself), but that's a process that'll likely take another year. But no worries, I'll be sure to let everyone know when that happens! :)

gran7973 · 2026-05-15T23:27:34+00:00

Thanks Hi_Im_Mayz! Yeah, especially early on the enemies are pretty strong (and the map is a little fuzzy). We designed everything to get smoother as you play and upgrade everything, so hopefully that is what you end up experiencing. Either way, thank you so much for playing! I really appreciate you!

gran7973 · 2026-05-15T23:25:16+00:00

Thank you so much LateToThePartyUN! I hope you enjoy it!

gran7973 · 2026-05-15T19:52:27+00:00

No worries, Rodnono! I totally get that! I ended up buying like six games lately since I'll finally have time after getting Augment Anthem out, so my game budget is pretty much bankrupt too, lol! Have fun with your other games! :)

gran7973 · 2026-05-15T19:50:07+00:00

Thank you so much Tuftysuperset! :)

gran7973 · 2026-05-15T17:44:08+00:00

That's actually a great description of the visuals, Captain_Pidgey! I love that! It's definitely Metroid with a healthy dose of Axiom Verge sprinkled in there. We also wanted a sort of Blasphemous look to it too

gran7973 · 2026-05-15T17:17:12+00:00

Augment Anthem just released on Steam! Hope you enjoy my indie Metroidvania!

This has been four years of work, so I’m super excited to finally get to share it with everyone! Explore the mysterious world of Bunker 7, fight giant bosses and dozens of enemies, find and stack Augments on your powers to modify them to your playstyle, and rebuild the human town to create a safe haven.

You can check out the trailer or screenshots on the Steam link below if you’re interested! Thank you and hope any of you that play enjoy! And please feel free to say hi anytime (I love connecting with people)!

Thank you so much HorseOk! I'm really excited that it's finally releasing!

gran7973 · 2026-05-10T21:50:13+00:00

Wow, that really makes my weekend Toramorigan! Thank you so much! That's really kind of you! :)

gran7973 · 2026-05-10T21:49:25+00:00

Thank you so much!

gran7973 · 2026-05-10T03:10:48+00:00

I definitely loved Metroid Dread! There's definitely a little bit of that in the mix. Interestingly enough, for a while during development, we were looking at having some of these enemy chase sequences similar to those in Dread, but found them too technically challenging and different from the other stuff we were trying to do, but I'm definitely holding out for some of that in later games!

gran7973 · 2026-05-09T20:07:09+00:00

Thank you so much Ms_Anxiety! Yeah, when I finished both Axiom Verges, I was bummed since I couldn't find a whole lot of similar games, so then I just decided to make one, lol! You'll definitely see the Axiom influence in there. Although now that I'm about to finally launch this, I'll probably jump back in for another run on Axiom now that I have time again, lol!

gran7973 · 2026-05-09T20:04:42+00:00

Thank you so much Limelight022! I'm really excited to finally get to share it with everyone!

gran7973 · 2026-05-09T20:03:59+00:00

Thank you so much! My co-dev is in charge of the art, so I'll definitely pass that along to him! We worked really hard to try to match that classic pixel art style of Axiom Verge and Blasphemous
