Dr. Professor Scientist's Weapons Testing Facility
Patch 1.4.0a
Clockwork Discipline 1.4.0
Patch Notes 1.4.0 Clockwork Discipline
Clockwork Discipline
A new discipline of war was accepted after the Dr. Professor Scientist saw another dimension using clockwork artifacts in a way that did not seem impossible in the Professors own world.
- Ghost Cannon - A ghost cannon that fires ALL projectiles in your weapon at lower damage
- Stuck Pointer - A pointer projectile that gets stuck inside an enemy continuing its path after the enemy is destroyed
- Pointer Spinner - A turret pointer that keeps spinning on the map adding a new blade each round
- Rolipoli - A slow brass ball that likes wall.
- Gear System - A totally unique modifier that keeps gearing up like the name implies and has 3 different variations available, depending in which order it is placed.
Balance
- Lightning - All lightning modifiers and projectiles now have lightning bounce, chaining the lightning between targets
- Bouncy Ball - Bouncy ball now scales with bounces
- A lot of other small changes to drop rates.
Go out there and enjoy!
Demo Release, Content Soon Increase
On to the content, the most interesting one. If all stars align as they seem to be aligning we are about to launch a new Discipline the Clockwork Discipline. Some of you may have played our new game Clockwork Survivors and will recognize some of the ideas.
Everything is however tailor made to fit the world of the Professor Scientist.
As with all disciplines there is something unique about them and Clockwork might have the most different gameplay compared to all others available to them. At least the way how you approach the game.
For example we have a 3 Fold component, a gear system that have different effects depending on how many of them you have in the weapon. They also start weak at the beginning of each round, gaining speed and more gears before being strong at the end of the round.
Spread the word of the Professor, the savior of humanity and meet him in the fields of science!
Dimension +1 Patch 1.3.1
Patch Notes 1.3.1 Dimension +1
Dimension +1
Professor Scientist has gained an interest in dimensions, now he has pierced the veil to the first one and you can gain access to new components in your next runs.
New and interesting dimensions are upon the horizon as well ;)
Fire Modes
We have unlocked fire modes for your gain, to add a teensy bit more control during your run.
Now you can change fire modes even during the wave phase and time your shots well.
Hell
- Hell Circle speed reduced drastically. Also now resets the speed when it exits the hell circle. The massive speedup made it almost impossible to win if you had knockback.
- Hell Circle size up reduced.
Demo
Demo will be released in the coming days, spread the joy of science!
Suprising Workweek Twist and Future of the Professor
Now the week is nearing its end(work wise, still a lot of fun time left) and we have successfully posted both games as under review. Fingers crossed they will be released in the near term.
The future of DPSWTF is something we have been talking quite a bit about internally. We love the game and feel it has so much more potential to be iterated on. Something we have not forget nor will forget, as a first released game does. A small update cleaning up things, some balance and with potentially a new type of enemy should hit the stores in the near future.
After that patch and the release of our other project Clockwork Survivors on android(also a pc game) will tell which direction our work will flow into.
Now that you have read all this you can enjoy yourself with the priorly mention Clockwork Survivors demo or just nab both of our games on the spring sale.
Have a great end of the week.

Patience and Puzzler Major Patch
Patch Notes 1.3 Patience and Puzzler
New Game
Added a puzzle game within Dr. Professor Scientist's Weapons Testing Facility. You can check it out in the main menu.
Patreon
We now have a patreon where you can get various benefits. Of course you'll get access to our games before anyone else. We will be making more remixes that won't be available through DPSWTF.
Chill Music Option
A chill hop track list for those who enjoy some softer tunes while they play. Find it in the pause menu.
Patience
Game is overall as fast as before, but to dedicated players the early game tempo will feel a bit slower. We have doubled the slot activation speed from 0.1 to 0.2 & Lowered the enemy amounts to match.
The Doctor realized that in the end even though moving through hordes of enemies is satisfying, it is harder to analyze the results on the run. Now with fewer enemies and slower fire rates everything matches in better.
Now you can see the mayhem you cause and build it up to the crazy machines that you used to. And as some of you immediately think, yes this is a massive buff to the Rapid Fire component in the early game.
Quality of Life
A few big changes other than the core of the patch effects of better visibility to effects we have:
- Autonuke
If you would lose the game while having a nuke available it will nuke first, giving you another wave to work with.
- Highlighted Triples
You can now highlight three of the same component at the same tier, to see if they are ready for upgrading. Both as a clickable toggle and activated on the L button
- Hell Circle Tooltips
Now you you can see and read what the hell circles do when hovering over the skulls during gameplay. We may have had one one disabled on accident. So there is a new hell circle to play around with as well.
