Defenders of Asteria
The future of Asteria
I've been pretty radio silent lately but after a couple months of trying to recover my hard drive unsuccessfully it's time to throw in the towel for now. I no longer have the files for Defenders of Asteria so unfortunately there will be no more updates. The game will be going free to play as soon as Steam approves it and who knows maybe one day I will come back and remaster it to become the game I dreamed up. Until that time comes I would like to thank all of you who purchased the game from the bottom of my heart. Who knows what the future holds but I hope to continue to make games for you all to enjoy.
With great sadness this is my final sign off, thank you defenders.

Launch Day + Future Roadmap!
Today is the big day, Defenders of Asteria is finally releasing on Steam. While hoping for a smooth launch, I am expecting something to go wrong at anytime, so if you find anything please report it on the Steam forums or onto the Official Discord group.
As for the future, I have no plans for any dlc or microtransactions, all new content will be releasing in free updates. I have plans for new heroes, towers, maps, raid maps, and enemies, and will be teasing all new content and conducting polls for what the community would like to see on the Discord as well!
I thank all of you who buy the game or share it with your friends, it truly means so much to me to finally get to release my own game and I hope you all enjoy it!
