- Tutorial Rework - 4 February 2022
A small but important feature I wanted to have a lot earlier, Now there is a tutorial level introducing the player to the very basics. Currently, the tutorial doesn't cover everything but the most important controls are taught. The tutorial starts for the first time automatically, after that you can replay it at any time in the main menu. Thank you and see you soon!

- It's getting cold - 12 September 2021
Hey everyone! Currently, I'm working on a new map, the theme will be Arctic, so this map will be the first one that introduces weather. The map is still empty, but soon there will be a lot of happening. Almost every item on my list is done for the next update, a test build will be hopefully uploaded some time in the next week, with that build we can test together the new update and fix issues that I didn't found in the editor itself. The other maps will be also getting the weather feature. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1686024608984004019/D6310CFC3211AE91BA07256AE17C7950956E1EB1/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false That's it. See you in the community hub!
- Energy Nodes - 10 September 2021
Hey, I want you to update with the recent progress! In the last two days, I tried different methods to implement an energy system for the turrets, which is currently shaping well, So the design is that you have an Energy Node which will provide X amount of turrets with energy. If a turret is build within range of the Node, it will be powered as long as the node is not destroyed. If you want to build more turrets, you need more Nodes. The nodes as all turrets are upgradeable, the most interesting upgrade will be the maximum amount of turrets it can power. If you sell a turret, the node will try to find a new turret to power if there is any turret in range that has no power Turrets that have no power will have a thunder symbol over them https://i.ibb.co/cJhfrjK/Thunder-Icon.png Here you can see the range of the Energy Node https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1686024296902280002/ED9…
- Status update - 8 September 2021
Hey I'm currently working heavily on the next big update, some points on my to-do list are already marked done, so progress looks good currently. Today I want to show you some progress, last time you saw already the tooltip and building range. Today I want to show you progress on the shield tower that will replace the repair tower. Here you can see the shield tower protecting the utility turret, All projectiles hitting the shield will get destroyed, the shield energy will shrink with each bullet cought. When no energy left, the shield collapses then the tower needs to charge for X seconds (you can decrease the time with an upgrade) when charged fully the shield will be online again https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1686024296893152047/EFFC58D25EF5E63698291F2D2B7859B8A0A44EA3/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false Here is the upgrade menu…

- Teleportation and future plans - 3 September 2021
Hey everyone, I want to tell you that hopefully tonight there will be an update that implements teleportation. This is very important for people that get motion sickness, especially if the frame rate is not perfectly stable, I also want to talk about future plans! But first some notes to the teleportation Like all settings, the teleportation can be set in the main menu or in game in the settings menu https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1686023842870543647/DF5BB5FC28C54649F860C425072CA9A803AEF51F/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false The teleport option can be found under Additional settings https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1686023842870543796/6AE47EA69E5B8C0E6643163BD9DCF11C238C4150/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false If the checkbox is set go back in the menu so it's saved and now if…
- Building Ranges Update - 1 September 2021
Small update bringing the building ranges back to live. The laser pointer should also be forced ON when enable the building menu. Thank you.
- New building range visuals and logic - 31 August 2021
Hey everyone, I want to show you what will be in the next update. With the implementation of the upgrade system the building ranges needed to be dynamically adjustable, what made the most problem was the visuals which had very old logic and assets, finally I found a solution which could be solved with simple math. In the pictures below, there is a preview with the base building and three Lookouts. If you now upgrade the ranges either for the base or for the Lookouts, the visuals should be representing the ranges correctly now. Thank you for reading. https://media.giphy.com/media/HxXiJzp17jFjjZYJSJ/giphy-downsized-large.gif?cid=790b7611d963197fb05d2932eb15e20a0c1a0db2c6f407f4&rid=giphy-downsized-large.gif&ct=g

- UI design and mouse - 29 August 2021
Hello defenders, I know the current state of the UI is not the best, especially for a player who never played the game. I will push a new build to the debug branch tomorrow with some UI changes in the main menu. I also put the in game UI completely to the right hand, that means the building menu and the players stats are on the same hand. With that change, the player will now have all information on one place. Also, a laser pointer is now available to the player, that should also improve the readability of where the mouse is pointing at.
- Final build pushed to live! - 28 August 2021
Patchnotes from the test branch: Added missing vive keybindings Reworked building limitations Removed building limitation visuals (temporary) Updated upgrade logic for "Lookout Tower" and "Base Building" to new standards Changed the players hands to match real world hand transform instead of controller transform Added all controller bindings in the quick tutorial (You can find it in the main menu behind you) Added tutorial video in main menu (Press the Question mark button) Changed mouse trace to follow REAL hand rotation Added missing logic in the ingame settings menu
- Follow up update - 28 August 2021
Very small update (not in size tho). Added tutorial video in main menu (Press the Question mark button) Changed mouse trace to follow REAL hand rotation Added missing logic in the ingame settings menu I will playtest the update today and push it to live when it looks good. Thank you!
