    Nomad Defender is now FREE

    Hello everyone, we are very excited to share that Nomad Defender is now free! Sadly, the game did not perform as well as we hoped. We are aware of the issues the game has, but unfortunately, we are not in a position where we can continue with development, and everyone from the team has since moved on.Because of this, we have decided to completely remove the price tag. By doing so, we hope as many people as possible get the chance to enjoy the game we have spent so many hours crafting.Until next time!– The Dhelpra Games Team

    Patch Notes #2

    Hi everyone! First of all, a huge thank you to everyone playing and enjoying Nomad Defender! Your support and feedback mean the world to us. Today, we’re releasing a new update focused on bug fixes and key improvements to enhance your gameplay experience. Bug Fixing Hand Cards Breaking: Fixed a critical issue where players couldn’t select any cards from their hand, causing them to lose the run. Ignored Enemies : Fixed an issue where turrets would sometimes ignore enemies with low health. Card Animations: Fixed animations not playing correctly when a card’s cost was increased or decreased. Typos: Corrected minor grammar errors in various in-game texts. Improvements Enemy Targetting: Previously, turrets would immediately re-target when they lost sight of their current enemy. Now, turrets will wait until they are about to fire before choosing a new target, prioritizing the enemy closest to their node. This change should reduce frustrating moments where turrets didn’t target the expected enemy. Updated Victory Animation: The victory screen now has an improved animation for a more satisfying win experience. Redraws System: Added card blacklisting when redrawing cards at the start of a Tower Defense battle, ensuring better deck control. That’s all for now! We’ll keep you updated with any future news. In the meantime, enjoy the game—we’re always listening to your feedback to keep improving Nomad Defender! P.S. Oh, and if you’re reading this but don’t own Nomad Defender yet… the discount ends later today! Maybe now’s the perfect time to grab it... See you next time! – The Dhelpra Games Team

    Day 1 Patch

    Hi everyone! Yeah, we know—technically, it’s a Day 2 Patch… but if we count launch day as Day 0, then today is Day 1, and if there’s a patch on Day 1, well… it’s a Day 1 Patch :) After release, we’ve been closely gathering feedback on your experience with Nomad Defender. Thanks to you, we noticed some bugs and certain levels or difficulties that were way tougher than intended. We’ve been working hard on these fixes, and now they’re live! Here’s what’s changed: Balancing Orbiting Projectile Buff: 65% -> 80% damage per hit. Hard difficulty slightly decreased: All enemies now have -5% health and armor. Slightly decreased boss fight difficulty. Decreased difficulty on some mid and late levels: Changed some placing tiles and balanced certain enemy waves. Bug Fixes Sometimes data wasn't saved correctly when closing the game. The "Perfect Defense" Highscore wasn't working as it should. Sometimes selecting an upgrade room would crash the game The "\searchingPerfectiont" could be achieved by losing the first battle. Thank you! That said, we want to thank you for all the support we are receiving after the release. If you grabbed Nomad Defender and think it was worth your while, consider leaving a positive review to help us with visibility so more people can enjoy this game! Thank you again and see you until next time. The Dhelpra Games Team 🦊
