It was almost a year since the last update. We were busy with Warstone, but we expected to finish DLc earlier. Sorry for that. Dlc is almost finished and now we can contunie the development of thegame. This update is small. We must recovered old files and code, figure out how it works. We promise to add more stuff in future updates.
So, 0.79 brings fully animated and finished 7th mission of the game.. It has proper roads, polished envoirement, several animated visuals and even an Easter Egg. Also, we added animated mobs for that level, but we are going to change them in future.
We need to be sure that thegame works OK after such a long inactivity. We are working on reworking Spell system (change current spells with another ones), completely change wave fullfilment (make all levels smaller) and finally we are thinking about complete skill system rework.
Stay with us.
Development continues!

Major Update. Version 0.78 is here!
Hello there, We have added 13th mission in this update. It has a special feature. Towers are getting freezed if they stay long out of bonfire. There are 3 bonfires at the level, you can activate them any time, but be aware they have a cooldown. Another small feature that Ice Mage towers are immune to cold, so you can build them anywhere.
We slightly changed UI by moving spell buttons from right middle to left bottom corner.
We improved log system. it sends more information now, so it will be easier for us to find the mistake.
Also, we have got several reports about game difficulties. Temporarily we reduced health of monsters and armor modifiers on Easy and Hard. We increased amount of lives for all difficulties as well.

Version 0.63 is here now!
Hello there,
We added 7th mission. Layout of this mission is a sketch, so some objects can cover others. Also enemy units don't have animations.
It is kinda a demo of 7th mission. We did it because we want to upload all remaining levels earlier for earlier tests. For example, 8th and 9th missions comes before August ends.
New missions unlock 2 new towers. Ape tower is a siege tower which applies deadly poison on enemy units. It is great in elimination of small units. Another tower is Dino Woman tower. It has +12% damage aura (excellent in any situations) and can devouer small units instantly.
New mission introduces new world, so there is just a few new units. You will defend against units of World #2 as well.
Finally, we added first 39 achievements in the game. Most of them can be got easily. We plan more than 150 achievements in total.
World #3 Preview
Hello there,
We changed a way how we are adding new missions to the game. First 6 missions were final with animation effects, mobs and etc. We have decided to upload a rest of missions as a scetches. We are going to add remain 9 missions without enemy animations or map effects. It gives less visual satisfaction, but you can play new missions earlier. Later, we will add final animations when our artist finishes them.
There you can see scetches of all missions of World #3. It is well known Jurassic era with a lot of dinoisaurs. There will be 24 new enemy units. Most of them will have unique abilities. It should be fun.
As you can see there a new huge enemy arrive, so expect a great twist in the main story with new animated cartoon cineamatic.
Finally, we added the new trailer for the game with gameplay and cinematics moments from 1-6 missions. Hope it motives new players to purchase AoD.
