- Cartridge Defense Tutorial Fix - 1 September 2023
Hey everyone, I just released version 1.0.1.12 of Cartridge Defense that should fix the issue with the tutorial that several players had been running into. I also modified the rules for line of sight on the towers to hopefully help with some of the complaints about towers not firing when expected. Lastly I made some tweaks that will help with CPU usage when a large number of towers are in play.
- Cartridge Defense Patch 1.0.1.10 - Boss Nerf - 23 February 2023
Probably the biggest point of contention with Cartridge Defense since its release is that if a boss makes it through to the end, the run is over. Today that is no longer the case. Instead, you will lose 5 power cores if it is round 5, or (Current Round - 5) for bosses later than that. Hopefully this will make the game significantly less frustrating moving forward.
- Cartridge Defense Minor Patch 1.0.1.6 - 3 October 2022
Hey everyone, just a small patch today to fix a couple issues and hopefully reduce some late game crashes. Fixed issue where adding a cartridge to a deck could add more than it was supposed to under certain circumstances. Fixed issue with shields getting hit with area of effect explosions. Removed lightning effects after Round 20 to fix some crashing.
- Cartridge Defense Patch 1.0.1.5 - 17 September 2022
Hello everyone, I have a new update today with a few tweaks that most notably should help with crashing issues with later rounds in Endless Mode. I also added a Colorblind mode and nerfed the overpowered Neutron Monument cartridges. Patch Notes Features Added option to enable/disable colorblind mode. Changes/Tweaks Made some tweaks to endless mode to fix some crashing issues that would occur in later levels. Lightning will no longer strike for loot after round 25. You will still get the loot (this is to address a crashing issue that happens in later levels). Changed the font of a few displays. Balance Changes Neutron Monument's buffs cut in half. Neutron Spike's buffs cut in half. Bug Fixes Fixed issue where under certain circumstances packs could be bought without the resources. Fixed the hologram when picking up a box.
- 1.0.1.2 Minor patch notes - 5 September 2022
Thanks for everyone who has supported the game through launch! I have a small patch today with a few bug fixes: Fixed issue with Junk Removal (and other cartridges that destroy towers on the field) that would cause the game to go to an unplayable state when playing the card with a tower from the waiting area in hand. Fixed issue when playing multiple Neutron Monuments where newly placed towers would only get the bonus from the first one. Prevented amplifiers and monuments from getting the bonus from Neutron Monument. Fixed issue where a Shadow Fuel Replicator duplicated with Cloning Device would not get the replication effect. Fixed issue with the demo that would render it in an unplayable state for some users, particularly on the first time it was launched.
