Can also comment myself if you want
No, it's not dead. To be perfectly honest I took a break because of general inactivity (*) and therefore things haven't been progressing since march or so.
But your timing is good, because just 2 days ago we (Fawpaw, Bhoren, and I) had a nice chat and decided to get off our asses and get the thing rolling again. I really hope to show some updates again soon.

(*) For quite some time i was the only one doing anything (**), which gets dull and isn't exactly motivating. And life/work/PhD/stress/broken arm/lack of creativity/etc added to it, so it was probably better to take a break and not force it, and do something else for a bit.

(**) Because the others also had life/stress/university/whatever, the usual thing...

But thanks for asking (and sticking around!)

Someone just commented on my sequel mod review worried the project's dead. I don't, but I understand if people are worried. Anything you want me to tell them?

Wow – five years on and Labyrinth Mod finally reached 1000 downloads!  I almost missed it as I only check the stats on Bitly occasionally nowadays.  The last download that put the number over the top was from Canada.  I can only see a fraction of the stats that Bitly used to show since they reorganized, but extrapolating from past data the top countries for downloads after five years are the US, Russia, Germany, and Canada.

Making Labyrinth Mod still ranks among the most enjoyable and immersive projects I've ever engaged in.  Kudos to Alex and Derek not only for making Aquaria (best game ever imo), but for providing the editor, allowing even amateur, non-programmers like myself to experience the fun of making a game. 

Oookay, so I was missing a tiny area, a save point in the Energy Temple. Since this is a frustrating issue, if anyone else is missing one small thing and can't get the Explorer achievement on Steam, see if you missed any of these. I also included my own 100% completion file if nothing else works.

Alphasoldier's save is no longer available, but I'll offer my 100% completion save file as a replacement. I don't have maxed items but I have every achievement. Hope this helps.

This thread also has a checklist of stuff anyone having trouble with the Explorer achievement should take a look at.

My apologies for resurrecting a dead thread, but this is the top result on Google for this problem and I wanted to share how I fixed my missing Explorer achievement issue.

Check these first: (list taken from Shizumi's post on Steam's discussion)

• Collected all treasure items.
• Collected 4 pets.
• Learned 10 songs (shown in menu).
• Found 3 lost memories.
• Collected 5 Verse Eggs.
• Unlocked the 3rd cooking slot.
• Found the two Weird Fish.
• Entered the final area (completion isn't necessary).

If those don't work, my personal missing area was a save point I missed in the Energy Temple. Link to map (Imgur). Apparently Tabarnaco had the same missing area, ha ha;;;

And if none of those work, I've uploaded a 100% completion Steam save. This has all treasures, all achievements. Maybe that will work as a last-ditch effort for anyone else having the same issue. The Windows 7 save file location should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Aquaria\save

There are 4 pets, you can find them at various points in the game. The first one is located south-west of the first Open Waters area. Might require the Bind Song to get.

I've gotten every form, life egg, pet, song, and treasure, including the 3rd cooking slot and all 3 memories for the secret ending. I've even got the Weird Fish achievement. Somehow I still don't have the Explorer achievement despite beating the game, and I haven't got a clue what I could be missing. I don't suppose there's a way to fix this?

(This is actually my 4th time I've played the game, I just wanted to get the achievements on Steam because Aquaria is my favorite game.)

whenever i open up the menue thing, it always opens up a page to hold pets. Just how exactly do i get a pet?
Where do i find their eggs?
 

Sheesh dude, I'm entirely sure that this mod will be our salvation

A single question that's burning me however, is if the Arnassi are going to make a comeback, and not be as useless as they were in Aquaria?
I'd love to see them get proper characters and a story of their own, however if you choose to leave them out, that's entirely up to you, People are still watching, cheering you on!
