• Tutorial Update + Small Balance Tweaks - 22 April 2025

• Stop the Blight is out now! - 7 April 2025

  Hey everyone, I'm incredibly excited (and a little nervous!) to announce that Stop the Blight is officially released! This has been my passion project for a long time. While I built most of it solo, I had help from some amazing freelancers who contributed 3D models, artwork, and music. Their talent really helped bring the world to life. The game is a tactical tower defense roguelite built around spellcasting, terrain manipulation, and elemental strategy—and now it’s in your hands. That said, this is just the beginning. There's still more I want to add and improve, and your feedback will help shape where things go next. Here's what's planned for post-launch: Steam achievements Improved sound effects and possibly more music Storyline completion with character dialog and lore snippets More permanent upgrades, more runes, and more strategic depth If you've been following the project—thank y…
