We added several gameplay improvements and fixed a couple of critical bugs.
First of all, when a player gets a level ans skill point it also increases damage from Stone and Spike Trap spells. It doubles the damage at level 5, so these spell get more useful at late game.
Secondly, we added game speed button. You can choose between 1x, 1,5x, 2x game speed settings. We hope it make the game more pleasant.
Thirdly, we added settings for changing sound and music volume in the pause menu.
Fourthly, we added info buttons in the mission menu and skill menu which open a thread in the forum with explanations of game mechanics and skills.
Finally, we added cute animated effect for building a tower.

Version 0.60 with Skill System is here!
Hello there,
The game gets closer to the original idea. We added two major things which affect whole game. It is a skill system and settings menu. Player unlocks skill tree while playing Mission 3 and can learn just 2 skills. Each new missions increases your maximum level. There will be 15 player levels in the game and 6 of them are available to learn in Mission 6.
New Update. Version 0.55 is here!
New Update. Version 0.54 is here!

Also you get access to new upgrade of Spearman Tower. It is Axeman Tower. It has fast attack speed and decent damage. Also you get access to Level 3 of Woman tower. It casts strong range buffs and stun enemies for 7 seconds per shot.
This map contains another cool big boss. It has several abilities. Prepare for a tough battle. We hope you will like it.

Road map for Age of Defense!
Hello Dear players,
It was a tough start for us. First of all, some players expected troubles yesterday when they started the game since Mission 2 and could not advance in the story. We fixed it yesterday. Today we added Steam Cloud saves, it could change location of save files, so to prevent it we temporarily opened all missions in the game.
Also, we improved how the game looks in resolutions below 1920*1080.
We want to apologize for releasing unfinished project. We have a lot of completed stuff for the game, but we had low amount of time for putting it in the game. We promise, the game evolves in one month significantly.
There is a road map for the game. We want to describe things which we are going to put in the game next month.

Age of Defense is released in Early Access!
Our third game game has finally released. It is our second game in Tower Defense genre. We wanted to make the game different from Warstone. It is in 2D with a lot of colorful animations. The story contains animated cinematics instead of comics. There are more enemies with diverse abilities. In other hand, the game is more casual but anyway it should be fun on hard difficulty.
We tried to do our best to create as much content as possible, but we had several troubles. We release the game in deep Beta. It has 4 completed levels, 12 towers, 3 cinematics and more than 50 enemies. Even tutorial is under development.
For now, it is not enough content but we promise to add new content as soon as possible. 2 new missions are coming in June. This week re are going to post Road Map of the development.
Stay with us,

Development News #13
Hello there,
We move release date for 1 week. AoD comes in EA at 27 May. Congrats.
We tried to do our best to bring as much content as possible. The game comes with 2 different worlds and 5 completed missions. You will force about 40 various enemies, see 3 animated cinematics. Also, there will be 1 huge boss fight in the end of the first world.
We temporarily disabled some features like Skill System, Gold tower upgrades and etc. We are going to add them in the game in next updates. Also, we are working on mission 6 right now. It should come less than a month.
In overall, hope you will like what we prepared for you!
