- Patchnotes v1.0 --- Out of EA --- New Game - 16 February 2021
Out of EA Hey people, Defend Them is now out of EA and has achievements. One year of EA and 89 sold games (most for less than a dollar), it´s not really much, but it was my first game, so it would be okay and maybe the most didn´t bought it yet, because of EA. The patchnotes are not very long, I have only changed the level-loadscreen from "press tab" to "hold tab" (it´s more clear) and added steam achievements. There are also points now available, to show in screenshots and compare with friends, maybe I want add later the official steam-ladders support, but currently I have no idea, how and it was not my most important steam feature which was needed ^^ Say me what you think about this. New Game There is now also a new game available to wishlist, called Biomes: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1550150/Biomes_Survival_Era/ I have started it when I was disappointed with the sales of my f…
