• Clockwork Discipline 1.4.0 - 5 May 2023

  Major patch here, now that we have the demo out there a new discipline shall be released upon the world. Patch Notes 1.4.0 Clockwork Discipline Clockwork Discipline A new discipline of war was accepted after the Dr. Professor Scientist saw another dimension using clockwork artifacts in a way that did not seem impossible in the Professors own world. Ghost Cannon - A ghost cannon that fires ALL projectiles in your weapon at lower damage Stuck Pointer - A pointer projectile that gets stuck inside an enemy continuing its path after the enemy is destroyed Pointer Spinner - A turret pointer that keeps spinning on the map adding a new blade each round Rolipoli - A slow brass ball that likes wall. Gear System - A totally unique modifier that keeps gearing up like the name implies and has 3 different variations available, depending in which order it is placed. Balance Lightning - All lightning m…

• Demo Release, Content Soon Increase - 4 May 2023

  Finally we have our demo out, you can now test the game with two fine disciplines before deciding if you want to peruse deeper into the depths of science. On to the content, the most interesting one. If all stars align as they seem to be aligning we are about to launch a new Discipline the Clockwork Discipline. Some of you may have played our new game Clockwork Survivors and will recognize some of the ideas. Everything is however tailor made to fit the world of the Professor Scientist. As with all disciplines there is something unique about them and Clockwork might have the most different gameplay compared to all others available to them. At least the way how you approach the game. For example we have a 3 Fold component, a gear system that have different effects depending on how many of them you have in the weapon. They also start weak at the beginning of each round, gaining speed and m…

• Dimension +1 Patch 1.3.1 - 6 April 2023

  Patch Notes 1.3.1 Dimension +1 Dimension +1 Professor Scientist has gained an interest in dimensions, now he has pierced the veil to the first one and you can gain access to new components in your next runs. New and interesting dimensions are upon the horizon as well ;) Fire Modes We have unlocked fire modes for your gain, to add a teensy bit more control during your run. Now you can change fire modes even during the wave phase and time your shots well. Hell - Hell Circle speed reduced drastically. Also now resets the speed when it exits the hell circle. The massive speedup made it almost impossible to win if you had knockback. - Hell Circle size up reduced. Demo Demo will be released in the coming days, spread the joy of science!

• Suprising Workweek Twist and Future of the Professor - 17 March 2023

  This week has been a full on chaos at our small studio. For us it came out from nowhere an email dropped in my inbox stating Epic Store was letting in anyone to release their game in the same way steam was as of that moment. Cue us dropping everything we had going on to get both of our released games into an Epic ready state, luckily for us Epic on one week of hardcore working seems to be a functional and well put together environment to release games, so most things went down without a hassle. Now the week is nearing its end(work wise, still a lot of fun time left) and we have successfully posted both games as under review. Fingers crossed they will be released in the near term. The future of DPSWTF is something we have been talking quite a bit about internally. We love the game and feel it has so much more potential to be iterated on. Something we have not forget nor will forget, as a…

• Patience and Puzzler Major Patch - 23 November 2022

  Patch Notes 1.3 Patience and Puzzler New Game Added a puzzle game within Dr. Professor Scientist's Weapons Testing Facility. You can check it out in the main menu. Patreon We now have a patreon where you can get various benefits. Of course you'll get access to our games before anyone else. We will be making more remixes that won't be available through DPSWTF. Chill Music Option A chill hop track list for those who enjoy some softer tunes while they play. Find it in the pause menu. Patience Game is overall as fast as before, but to dedicated players the early game tempo will feel a bit slower. We have doubled the slot activation speed from 0.1 to 0.2 & Lowered the enemy amounts to match. The Doctor realized that in the end even though moving through hordes of enemies is satisfying, it is harder to analyze the results on the run. Now with fewer enemies and slower fire rates everything mat…

• Access the Professor's work at -75% - 12 October 2022

  The pre new game announcement sale. LETS GO.

• Patch 1.2.2a - 25 August 2022

  Bug Fixes Projectiles teleport correctly from wall to wall Projectiles now correctly only use up one teleport instead of two each time. Early Game Safety You cannot lose anymore in waves prior to 5, the enemies will be safely teleported until you dispose of them with your gun. Losing without making any ground on the test's efficacy would be quite the waste and the Professor is quite happy he gained the budget to install some enemy teleporters.
