- Question and answer - 14 July 2021
1. Why didn't you make a notice? If a year and a half ago, I made an announcement that the game could not be updated, no creator would give up his own game. If everything doesn't go well in this year and a half, Variable 2 can't be completed, it will break the promise. A year and a half ago, I can't predict what will happen in the future. Therefore, from my point of view, I can't draw cakes in the face of shadowless things. 2. Why if you have Variable then when Variable 2 is developed, the new game will be automatically entered into you Steam Library? In the end of the Variable,it didn't achieve what I wanted to achieve. I said in the QQ group (126203854) before that, I used to hope that Variable would make me stand up and say that this is the best tower defense game in the world. But until the end, I didn't achieve it. And for a game work, if the creator himself can not be responsible…

Hi, this is 1000water We fixed some bugs today.Then I looked at screenshots of people's map layouts...I found that the main reason why people are stuck in difficulty 5 and 6 is because of the layout of the map, which leads to too little range of the tower. There is already a lot of strategy writing in this area, so there is no need to worry. And then from today, we're going to do a beta update, a half-day beta test -- and a day later, a full beta update to prevent bugs. Today's update: Add random map objects https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F35060301%2Fed7bab4ee1e84bc7210ffe3170ab1917d4b63b76.png Telescope If the telescope is inside a turret’s attack range, the turret can attack targets that are inside the telescope’s range of effect. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F35060301%2Ffc092192e709911ffcf5363ea2cc70855892dfd7.png Sa…

- The way to fix game stuck - 12 August 2019
If the game is stucked after start game, and no UI show up. Go to the Date and Time setting of windows (by click at the clock), and enable the Auto Time. This may fix the problem. This is an internal bug of Unity, and there is nothing we can do to fix it in our game. Hope you have a good game time.

Hello, everyone, this is still a thousand water Sorry, this update is a little late This update is mainly to prepare for the next screen update The current map is mainly to cooperate with the upcoming screen renovation Added archiving function (to prevent SL, the archiving will be deleted after entering combat mode, that is, it can only be read and accessed in construction mode) Fixed a so-called "benign" bug The screen update will be divided into four steps, about a week after the update of the effects and UI section. We won't be able to update it for the next week, because the UI part is the difference between 0 and 1, and it can only be released when it is finished. Finally, I would like to celebrate the fact that the sales volume of the variable has exceeded 300 copies, which is a good start for us. I hope it will become more and more popular with our update. I also hope that friend…
