Local foundationsImplemented in development
Games library, local profiles, media tools and settings exist in the internal candidate. Public release acceptance remains separate.

Events, news and squad interfaces exist. Sample content and local-only actions are not a live shared community service.
One connected TGLPlanned integration
Shared account access, website/app events and announcements, live server status and population, and member profiles, stats and achievements require further integration and approval.
Public alphaNot publicly available
Download access, supported-system requirements and release notes need an approved release package. This portal does not distribute software.

07 / BEFORE YOU ASK

The useful details.

Clear answers now. More detail when the release is ready.

Can I download Aether?

No public download is enabled. The application is still in development, and this website does not distribute an alpha installer.

Is this already a connected community app?

The internal candidate includes community interfaces, but demo content and local-only activity are not evidence of live shared services. Website account and data integration remain planned work.

What happens to my data?

The documented local core stores profile and library information on the device. Profile backup tools do not include media originals. Online features can involve external services and require their own review; this is not a blanket privacy guarantee.

This portal does not collect feedback through a new form or create an Aether account. Contact TGL through the existing Discord community for help, and avoid posting private diagnostics publicly.

Website privacy policy
What are the system requirements?

Minimum and recommended operating-system, processor, memory, graphics and storage requirements have not been confirmed for a public release. Internal Windows testing is not a published compatibility guarantee. Check the approved release information before installing.

Are these screenshots and features final?

No. These are authentic saved development captures. They include internal labels, test-profile details and demo content. The application, capabilities and requirements may change.

Where can I send feedback or get help?

Use TGL on Discord or the community page. No automatic ticket, account registration or mailing-list subscription is created by this portal.
