- 1.04 Patch Notes & 2024 Roadmap - 17 October 2024
Thanks to everyone who has bought and supported Terrorformer TD since it came out last month! We are excited to share the first planned update with the world, which patches both the Demo and Full Game to the same version (1.044). As mentioned in the last post, this patch mostly addresses the game's terraforming system and map generation algorithms, with a focus on increasing variety across game sessions and overall replayability. Map erosion and growth has been greatly increased, with the battlefield changing more drastically from round-to-round and after each ring of spawn tiles has been closed. Players must now purchase packs of terraforming actions at the Science Shop like any other upgrade or tower unlock; terraforming actions each have their own currency and no longer spend from a common pool of Map Points. 1.4 Changelog: Gameplay & Balance Changes: Excavate can remove Blocker tile…
- Terraforming Updates Coming Soon! - 7 October 2024
Exciting news: terraforming updates are coming soon to Terrorformer TD! Map generation algorithms will now generate more interesting, random map shapes, with map erosion and expansion playing a bigger part between rounds. Spawners will now Seal randomly based on the terror level after each round, forcing the player to adapt to the changing map more than ever! To assist in counteracting this new terrain-based threat, the player will gain access to two new Terraforming Tools: Extend will allow the player to create more map, by adding path tiles anywhere around the outer edge of the existing terrain. Shift replaces Seal; players can now move Spawn Tiles around the map to any valid location. To make terraforming choices more interesting, Map Points will go away in the next update, and each Terraforming Ability will have its own counter. Players will be able to purchase Terraforming Abilitie…

- Meet the Towers: Explosive - 26 May 2024
Welcome back to our Meet the Towers feature, where we showcase and preview the 25 towers available in Terrorformer TD. The final branch to show are the Explosive towers. Explosive towers focus on slow, heavy AoE damage and crowd control; but do half damage against shields, and three-quarters damage against armor. Explosive I: Mortar Tower Fires a slow, non-homing AoE projectile at enemy's position after a short charge-up. Explosive II: Rocket Tower Fires a homing AoE projectile at enemy's position after a short charge-up. Explosive III: Barrage Tower Fires a series of homing AoE projectiles at enemy's position after a medium charge-up.

- Meet the Towers: Support - 2 May 2024
Welcome back to our Meet the Towers feature, where we showcase and preview the 25 towers available in Terrorformer TD. Fourth in line are Support towers.

- New Enemies Incoming! - 17 April 2024
This week's build brings a dozen new enemies with it, meaning the game has unique enemies up to round 55 now! These enemies feature new abilities such as Dispel, which clears all negative status effects (or debuffs) from enemies, allowing them to recover their full strength. Enemies such as Doctoro (the floating witch doctor head, because of course) and the fourth boss, Curvanxion, are capable of aiding their fellow enemies with Dispel. Certain enemies past round 45 will also have the ability to Disable Towers, necessitating their destruction via long-range means. The aptly named Offbirb and the fifth boss, Magnaxion, are capable of disabling player towers temporarily. Watch out! Check out the portraits of the new enemies above, and see if you can defeat them in the latest Demo build!
- Introducing Weekly Challenges! - 12 April 2024
This week's build brings the last of the game's planned features, a Weekly Challenge Mode that asks players how far they can get with a common starting loadout -- and features its own leaderboards. Each week, a new challenge will unlock with its own loadout theme (and probably a punny name, if we're being honest here). This week, the first challenge is Bombs Away! featuring the Robomber Home Tower, which spawns an adorable little flying robot who roams the battlefield, dropping bombs on enemies. 🤖 Try it out today in Terrorformer TD's demo! And stay tuned for next week's challenge: Fun You Pay Me -- featuring the Toll Home Tower, which rewards the player with random currency every time it shoots an enemy. 💸😎
