• December Update / Dev Notes - 30 November 2024

  Hello dear Reforged Tower Defense community! This Sunday is the first of December, and thus the year is coming to an end again. Since I have a few days off around this time of year, as I do this year, I would like to continue the tradition and inform you about the upcoming development steps and release a major update. However, I don't want to promise too much, as things often develop differently than you think when you have children. Based on the progress so far, I am quite confident that I can release the update before Christmas. Let's start with the contents of the next update and then see how it continues. New Maps & Revised Single-Player Mode There will be at least nine new maps, and depending on how I progress in the next few days, one or two additional maps might make it into the update. These maps will be available in both the standard single-player and challenge modes. As I alre…

• Update V2024.2.1.42 & Roadmap - 5 June 2024

  Dear Community, I am very happy to inform you that the next update is finally ready. This update has taken a lot of time and energy, especially the change from UNet to FishNet and the rebalancing. But now directly to the topics of the update. I'll start with the most important points, followed by the full patch notes and a preview of the next update. The most important points: New game mode - Double Up: With this update, you can play the challenge mode together with a friend. This means you build towers together on a map and the crystals for killing enemies are shared. All items are instanced, so everyone has their own loot. UNet to FishNet: One of the most significant points of this update is the change from UNet to FishNet. Anyone can now create a lobby without the need for port forwarding. In addition, the stability and performance of the network connection have been improved. Balanc…

• Roadmap Update / Dev Notes - 24 November 2023

  Dear Community, I am excited to update you today on the latest developments in my game. A crucial step has been taken to improve network stability and performance: the switch from UNET to FishNet! Additionally, I want to give you an insight into the upcoming content. But first: Why the Switch? Since Unity 2018.4, UNET has been officially declared obsolete and no longer receives updates or support from Unity. This change meant that I had to look for a modern and efficient alternative to offer you the best possible gaming experience. What is FishNet? FishNet is a modern network framework for Unity, known for its high performance and stability. It offers me the flexibility and scalability I need to further develop and improve our game. With features like efficient message handling, support for dedicated servers, and easy implementation, FishNet is an excellent choice for our game. What Doe…

• Update v2022.4.12.33 - 4 September 2023

  Hello all, I am happy to release the next update. This update mainly improves the multiplayer experience with some bug fixes and optimizations in the netcode, especially in the fragmentation of the packages. In addition, some adjustments have been made to the game balance, making it easier to get started but promising a more constant difficulty increase. In the coming days I will publish an updated roadmap for the next months. Feel free to send me feedback if there are specific features you'd like to see in the game. At the moment, I'm still a bit undecided about which elements I should implement first. For example, some players have asked for a "true co-op mode" so that you can play the current single player maps in pairs. Any further feedback is greatly appreciated. Patch Notes New - Over 50 new items for multiplayer mode - New effects for items - Acoustic sound when destroying an ite…

• Update V2023.3.7.36 - 6 July 2023

  Note In the last update the Tesla Tower was slightly buffed. Now it hits the Mortar Tower which also gets a buff. The Mortar Tower felt too weak overall. Its previous job was to take out slow heavy targets. With the new effect, it's now worth using the Mortar Tower against other targets as well. Overall, it should be worthwhile to combine a different selection of towers wisely. Patches Notes New - New effect "Wound": Targets affected by Wounding suffer increased damage - Wounding added to the tower description - Wounding added to the tower statistics - New upgrade for the Engineer. Changed the Lightning Strike ability. The cooldown is increased by (200%/400%) as well as the mana cost (50%/100%).
