  Update Details 0.9.6 - The Lightning Tower

  Hi Defenders, This update adds a couple of final features to Banshee Force including the new Lightning Tower. The Lightning Tower The Lightning tower when placed will lash out at ships and missiles that get too close and try to destroy them with a lightning bolt. But the real magic happens when you add more than 1 tower. Adding two towers starts a link between them where they will work together to hit missiles and ships nearby. Adding a third tower creates the initial lightning field, a shield that will prevent any missile from going through it as long as the lightning towers are standing. If you have lots of cash add more towers to grow your field to cover even more area. Two Lightning Towers with an active link https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/948c7e940bda10aec8d843efac7cfdd0956a332e.jpg Three Lightning Towers with an active energy field https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/f3ae0e722b75ffd1a9423ede719afd34bd50fab2.jpg Four and beyond Lightning Towers grows the active field https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/4d4789f4edc2bc9b505b12ac3b977ad67e7c748b.jpg Fast Teleport As people were playing the higher levels with more ships and multiple islands they noted that using the right stick/pad with a highlight arc of where you want to go to teleport is just too slow for some of them. This release adds a new option to the menu options called "Fast Teleport" which when the right pad/stick is pressed will jump to the island your right hand is closest pointing towards. This behavior is on by default but the old model of teleporting can always be selected from the menu options by turning this option off. WIndows Mixed Reality Headsets This release has been tested with Windows Mixed reality headsets using Steam VR and will now work correctly with those headsets as well. We are now close other than some final cleanup and testing to migrating the game from early...

  Update Details 0.9.5 - Stealth Enemies, 3 City Islands and More Upgrades

  Hi Defenders, Version 0.9.5 of Banshee Force just dropped with lots of cool changes. One of the first new features are 5 additional levels with 3 cities to defend at one time. Remember at any time you can select these levels from the menu screen and try defending all 3 cities at once. They appear as levels 16-20. 3 City Island View 1 https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/563a3d42c3f1ccede657ed4cec3771b4c61313b8.jpg 3 City Island View 2 https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/fedbbf478d3f407a02c7cfd1abacf9180d66898d.jpg New Upgrades Added in this Update More powerful upgrades were added to the list of upgrades. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/35de59e2b9e2ec785f8b55d18f6a84f1862d8b3c.pngFire Power Increase This upgrade will increase the power of each shot the tower shoots. Upgrade a tower with increased fire rate, multiple shots and this fire power upgrade and it will be quite amazing how fast it shoots the ships out of the sky. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/0f48dbb73016fae5af59aee807ca72daaccf27f5.pngShield Recharge Rate This upgrade will make a shield on your tower recharge to full health much faster. In later levels when many ships decide to target your towers instead of your cities this will help those towers stay working longer. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/a026af59b0322b19b96d26b72b397f262896bc4b.png Target Stealth This upgrade allows a tower to target missiles or ships that have stealth capabilities and periodically disappear from view. Without this upgrade in the higher levels the towers are ineffective when stealth fighters appear. Green Stealth Enemy As you see in the upgrades there is a new green stealth enemy that will appear in some levels. Both the enemy and the missiles shot from the enemy will disappear. You can guess where the enemy might be hi...

  Update Details 0.9.4 - Upgrades and the Banshee Fighter

  Hi Defenders, Version 0.9.4 just dropped of Banshee Force and lots of new features have been added. The big feature of this release is the "Banshee Fighter". A new tower has been added called the Banshee Hanger. Inside this hanger is a Banshee Fighter. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/71111621311701d79e046df284421d3662c58d47.jpg Once you build a Banshee Hanger you can summon your Banshee Fighter with a new command on your right controller that lights up. The Banshee Fighter will automatically fly out and teleport to your left hand. At this point you can move your left hand and fly the fighter and shoot for up to 60 seconds anything in the area. You can choose to land the fighter or after 60 seconds it will land itself automatically. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/89903b91e0598c9214c55472734676ccb1ebd0ca.jpg New Upgrades Added A lot of upgrades were added to increase the power of your towers. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/93edd2233d092adb74ae178c3f97776f77d14c39.png Increase Shield Size This upgrade allows you to increase the size of any of your shields including your city. It is super powerful with the low cost portable shield generator tower to add a layer of protection on towers or cities. Remember though you cannot shoot through it so add additional missile launch towers to be able to shoot around the shield. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/9f0be85696aab6a2a017cfb5cd0352b31d8032b3.png Add Shield This upgrade allows you to add a shield around towers you have built to protect them from attacks. Once the tower is built you can use existing repair upgrades to maintain the shield as it is hit with missile attacks. All guns and lasers can shoot through these shields. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/37c943ee97aff67013933916e4a5fa8615665983.png Increase...

  Update Details 0.9.3 - Wait you want me to do what?

  https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/0beedd35f7f3fb28d90294555dfc32c8338ae6e2.jpg Hi defenders, Sorry it has been so long since we have talked but we were adding a lot of features to Banshee Force. Today's update is packed with exciting new features and is bringing many new systems to the game. One of the biggest changes of the game is the inclusion of multi-island defending. With Multi-island defending you have to move between multiple cities and work to keep them all alive. To make this easier we have added to the game the ability to teleport with the right hand touchpad/stick. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/85a0c4f7a7495eddac379f9ce6e68fecd4a4ed9a.jpghttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/d48ad6600180d81ae55a35004e6d36f3139945f7.jpg In addition to the multiple island defending we have added 20 new achievements to the game. You can see the achievements here. The beginning of the upgrade system is now live. With your left controller you can select cities and towers and once selected your build system will switch to an upgrade/repair system. The first two upgrades have been added to the game. Repair Tower - Allows you to repair the health of a shield on a tower or city when damaged. Add More Missiles - Allows you to add 20 more missiles to a missle tower or city to keep yourself in the fight longer. In future updates we have lots of ideas of cool upgrades for the existing tower and city system. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/f906f0742edfe827677dd7e4fce68616b7e52da4.jpg The first 10 levels in the game are single island defend games that get harder fast. Starting at level 11 we have 5 new levels in the game that involve defending two cities at the same time. If you want to jump into the game right at the two city levels you can now use the starting level selector in options and start at level 11. https://...

  Update Details 0.9.2 - Let there be laser beams!

  http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/a7ceb5c7395d3d71297a1bfb0b0a662cfb0ec88d.jpg Hi defenders, Today's update adds some exciting new features to Banshee Force. A new tower has been added to the game named the "Auto Missile Laser". This tower will automatically target incoming missiles with its laser turret and blast them out of the sky. The tower has a 15 second cooldown and 800-meter range so it is pretty powerful for swatting down missiles when you are not paying attention. In the future when multiple cities are being attacked this might be the only thing standing between you and your cities. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/78b9971bd320a8790f143422c3821bdde0e5ca74.jpg http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31786642/5d61da928bda772f2e9131f4852096ab3b6732c7.jpg In addition to the new tower we have tested Banshee Force with the Oculus Rift VR headset and touch controllers. The game plays well with either the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift through Steam VR. We are officially enabling support for the Oculus Rift in room scale with the touch controllers. Lots of other little bug fixes and improvements were added including support for a missile counter on the right controller so you know how many missiles you have left in all towers and cities. Patch Notes: New Tower - Auto Missile Laser Added Support - Oculus Rift w/ Touch Controllers Total Missile Counter added to right controller HUD Initial integration with steamworks (pre-requisite to achievements) Upgrade to Unity 2017.3 Bug fix - Ship rotating forever on launch Bug fix - Issues with Shaders Bug fix - Accidental pause The next version will introduce multiple city targeting, the initial ability for tower upgrades, and initial achievements.
