  v0.18.13 Patchnotes - Mixed Bag of Changes!

  Hello Commanders!This update is a mixed bag of different things. There isn't one singular big thing to talk about but hopefully is a fun update nonetheless.Skins for Towers There is a new customization menu accessible from the main menu that allows you to change skins for several towers (with more to come in the next update). Skins are unlocked by completing achievements and can be claimed in the achievements menu.Records Menu, Last Run History and All time RecordsSpeaking of achievements, the Codex, Achievements and a new Logs menus are now moved under the Records menu (accessible from the main menu).And about run history, I honestly should have added this into the game a bit earlier, but that is the life of working as a solo developer and not having enough time. But its finally here, a way to view all time records and to see a summary of the last run you've been on!New Events I added 6 new events into the game (thanks to suggestions from members in the community), along with new artifacts related to these events.New Upgrades in Market for CommandersI've added new upgrades to the market that improve some abilities of the Commanders. Tech Tree ReworkThe Tech tree has been reworked such that Tech nodes are no longer grouped by association to a Commander, but instead grouped by a playstyle/mechanic. The goal for this change was to make the trees feel a bit better to progress through. A common complaint was that you could just reset the tree after playing one Commander and place all points in a tree for another Commander, diminishing the feel of progression. I know that for veteran players who have already maxed out their tech points, this rework will not change much, but I hope that I now have a better base to work from for future changes. I did add a couple of new tech nodes for the Commander category for veteran players to unlock. And More...I'll leave the full details for the changelist below!I hope you enjoy this latest update, the next one will be leading to 1.0....

  v0.17.9 Patchnotes - Laboratory, Mortar, Custom Mode and More

  Hello Commanders!In this new update, I've added two new towers, another game mode (Custom mode) and some other changes. I hope you enjoy the new changes!Laboratory and Mortar TowersThe first tower is the Laboratory tower. It is a tower that doesn't attack but instead buffs towers around itself. It takes some time to ramp up, but can really boost the power of your towers!The next tower is the Mortar tower. It is a powerful long ranged tower that also has AOE splash. One downside to its power however, is its tight targeting zones and the fact that it can't target demons close to itself.I hope you have fun experimenting with these towers and please leave me feedback about things you don't like.Custom ModeThis mode allows you to customize a run to your liking. You can choose your commander, starting tower, difficulty and any or all the modifiers available in Daily Challenge mode. For the future, I'm considering allowing further customization of the commander itself (changing skills and passives) but I need some more time to play around and test that out. I think to make this interesting, I will need to create new skills to widen the pool of available options. ... And MoreI've also added a couple of other additions and small changes. The first of which is adding an in game achievements page. I plan on using this to grant fun unlockables in the future (skins, new biomes, and other visual fun things).Other than this, there are several other small additions, some of which was asked for by the community.Added a "buy all" button in the Market.Added a setting to set the default wave speed for all future sessions.Added a "retry last day" feature.Nerfed teleporting enemies slightly.I hope you enjoy this latest update, I'll continue to add more content as we get closer to the 1.0 release. There are a lot of polish and feedback items still on my list that I need to tackle after adding in the promised content. As always please leave me feedback, and if you enjoy the game, please co...

  v0.16.9 Patchnotes - Factory Tower and Daily Challenge Mode

  Hello Commanders!In this new update, I've added a new tower, a new game mode and some other miscellaneous fixes and changes. The promised endless changes in the last patch notes are still coming, I just need a bit more time to think about them. Factory TowerAs teased in the last patch, the new tower is the Factory Tower. Instead of attacking directly, it instead constructs Drones that travel down a path to attack demons in their way. Hopefully this is a fun tower for you all to try out! It isn't associated to any Commander as a starting tower, and can be unlocked in the game during tower unlocks. Here are it's stats:Daily Challenge ModeThis mode offers a new way to play. It is locked to Admiral difficulty, and each day features a different combination of Commander, starting towers, and modifiers. I've had a lot of fun testing these daily challenges. Please let me know what you think! I also tried to address some more feedback and adjusted some things for this update. I'll list them below in the full changelist. Hopefully you enjoy this new update. Feel free to leave me feedback about the game. If you enjoy the game, please consider leaving a review. I will continue doing my best to build a great game for you all!RefinedBear Full ChangelistAdditionsNew tower added into the game (Factory Tower).
