• v1.11.5 - Put Out The Fire - 17 July 2023

  Spells were added fairly late in the development process, and while they can be pivotal in terms of gameplay impact, they're at this point still the most under-developed feature in Tower Escape. Today's update is the first step in a larger plan to make them a bigger part of the game, with much more to come shortly as we begin to rebalance The Damned's ablities. We're adding 3 new spells: Slow Time, Disorient, and Weaken. Slow Time is a new and unique effect that slows down projectiles as they go through the air. It can really benefit fast-moving minions, allowing them to outrun projectiles with ease as they run for the exit. Disorient & Weaken can disable Guards similarly to Stun, but are cheaper and available earlier, and have more specific effects (shared with the Exiled's debuff abilities). Full changelist: New spell: Slow Time - Projectiles -66% speed for 2s New spell: Disorient - A…

• v1.11.4 - We Will Rock You - 29 June 2023

  Hello again, a fresh new round of updates today, mostly around our beloved minerals. The 5-star gems are getting a new sprite that's a little less cumbersome on the card, and we're adding 7 new gems with special abilities. We've also tweaked some of the existing gems, and added "chip" versions of the tradeoff gems (gems with a negative as well as positive effect). The chips have the same malus as the whole versions, but a reduced bonus effect, making them most useful as a way of reducing a minion's stats (perhaps reducing speed to keep them on pace with others, or reducing health to trigger death effects easier). With the gems rounded out nicely, one of the next areas we'll be expanding on is the melt system. We're working on a new reward algorithm that will have a set reward system (based on clan, level, and xp), so you know exactly what you'll get before melting instead of a random ch…

• v1.11.1 - If You Can't Beat Them - 10 April 2023

  As the Necromancer plotted escape from The Tower, trouble was brewing far away in the Elven Kingdom. A clan of elves lived in exile and were persecuted because they worshipped the night and possessed powerful psychic abilities. After centuries of mistreatment, they took advantage of the elves' distraction in the war against The Enchanted, Damned, Undead, and Corrupted, to stage their own rebellion and join forces with the enemies of their enemy. Introducing: The Exiled Led by their newly crowned Empress Josephine, The Exiled are a new clan with brand new powers to explore. Their psychic attacks allow them to stun and disorient their enemies, as well as draining life force to heal and speed up themselves. They also bring with them some fellow creatures of the night, such as bats, ravens, spiders, and gargoyles, to join the fight. But wait, there's more! As the war raged on, word of The N…

• v1.10.1 - More of That Jazz - 2 March 2023

  Hello Necromancers! Hold onto your cowls, because this is a big one! If you don't have time to read, feel free to skip to the sneak preview at the bottom. First a note: saves created with previous versions will not be recognized in v1.10. If you want to finish a 1.9 save before updating, you can access the old version in the betas labeled "v1.9". It's been about 2 weeks since release, and the feedback has been absolutely amazing! I've been reading every single review, playthrough video, discussion post, and discord message that I can, and furiously scribbling in my trusty notepad. I then burn those notes, say an incantation, and line after line of c# code starts to fill my screen. Or maybe I just drink a lot of coffee and start typing, it's hard to remember. A number of balance issues have been addressed. The map generator has bene tweaked significantly to reduce run-ending bottlenecks.…

• v1.9.8 - Hotfix - 27 February 2023

• v1.9.6 - UI Tweaks - 21 February 2023

• v1.9.5 - Keep on Fighting 'til The End - 20 February 2023

  First the good stuff: this update includes an overhaul of the win/lose screens, as well as enhancements to the Book of Names and other places where unlocks are shown, to be much more clear about unlock progress and what is required to unlock cards in the future. My hope is that this will make the card unlocking system much clearer and not feel just like a mystery box. For the less good, we're aware that some players are experiencing crashes either on loading save games or quitting the game. I spent the weekend refactoring our scene system which seemed to be the problem, but were still seeing intermittent issues. It may be related to the steam cloud saves functionality, so for now I've disabled steam cloud save sync. This is not a permanent change and I know a lot of players really like this feature, so we'll be bringing it back as soon as possible. For the moment though, our top priorit…
