Welcome to cyberspace! Our next game HexaScape: Cyber Defense has just been announced - and it comes with a demo!
HexaScape: Cyber Defense is an addictive mix of hex grid puzzles and tower defense mechanics to create a compelling turn-based strategy game. So if you are a strategy player or a board game addict, this game is for you!
After the current gen version of Elemental War and the patch 1.11.1 not much did happen for Elemental War this year. Of course it’s a quite old game, but as still a lot of people play it and we also stumbled upon some bugs, we fixed them and now have a new patch for you.
We fixed the Looper achievement that was harder to unlock than it should have been, improved the Water of Life quest and fixed a few small issues here and there. If you find anything else, let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

Fixes:
fixed Looper achievement only unlocking under certain conditions
fixed title of battle summary in leaderboards not getting translated
fixed ingame menu not closing clicking on continue button having opened the menu with the simulated cursor on controller

Elemental War 1.11.0
As we worked again on Elemental War anyway due to some other ports we decided to also update the other versions and so we added Steam Deck support!
In general don’t expect huge jumps from this update. We slightly improved the graphics by adjusting post processing and raised texture quality.
Besides that are just a bunch of minor tweaks and some adjustments required for Steam Deck.

CyberTD: Futuristic tower defense in the Triverse
It’s finally time to announce our new tower defense CyberTD, a mix of tower defense, roguelite and deckbuilding taking place in our cyberspace setting now called Triverse.
Working on it since April this year we’re finally ready to announce our new game, CyberTD! It’s a tower defense game, mostly turn-based, roguelite with deckbuilding and inspired by Taur, Core Defense and Slay the Spire.
You have one tower to defend the cyber core against viruses. Each wave you can select an upgrade to enhance your tower and its customizable loadout of weapons and active abilities to strengthen your defense and explore different combinations.
Play it alone, in local or online multiplayer both in coop and a versus mode or on Twitch with or against your chat!
You can already wishlist the game. Doing so will help us a lot, even when you’re not going to buy it in the end, so please consider it and tell all your friends about it as well!
CyberTD shall be released on PC (Windows, Linux, Mac) in 2023.
Today we release Elemental War 1.10.1 with a few bugs we noticed while working on Elemental War 2 and a critical issue with two achievements on Xbox and UWP.
During the development of Elemental War 2 we found a few bugs that also affect Elemental War. So we decided to backport them even though they aren’t too critical (mostly savegame related) and nobody ever reported them.
Full changelog
Fixes:
fixed score stats for overall scores not working
fixed newsticker being cut off
fixed Cerberus ability
fixed unhovering monsters/towers not always working properly
fixed Transform tower not working properly when loading a savegame
fixed 'What the beetle hides' quest automatically succeeding when loading savegame
fixed bug that caused tower damage to be reduced when loading savegame with gravity orb equipped to a tower

Elemental War 2 takes you into a threatened world: hordes of monsters suddenly pour out of the abysses of hell from a faulty summoned portal. Will you manage to build a defense line of defense towers against the forces of evil in time?
Elemental War 2 offers you the popular tower defense feeling combined with innovative game mechanics: as soon as you defeat an elemental – a particularly strong enemy that will demand everything from you – you’ll receive its element stone, which you can use to build new defense towers. As you keep collecting elements, you’ll always have new levels and tower combinations at your disposal.
Only if you skillfully combine the different towers and make use of their advantages will you be able to stand up to the monster hordes. Through in-game side quests, you’ll also unlock items that further enhance the abilities of your towers or decisively weaken your opponents at just the right time!
Elemental War 2 offers you dozens of hours of gameplay to develop strategies, complete all the quests and discover all the secrets of the game world. The lovingly hand-built maps offer you varied games and always new challenges!

Elemental War 1.10.0
Elemental War 1.10.0 is now available on all platforms and brings the game to the same state as the upcoming PlayStation release next week.
Since the Elemental War 1.9.0 release in February we fixed a few small issues we now that we passed PlayStation certification want to release to all platforms.
The changelog contains a few things that only affect individual platforms and some that are relevant for all.
On all platforms we fixed the behavior of Windrunner, fixed two typos and improved the Shockwave effect. On consoles or using controller we improved saving maps in the editor and navigation in there. Only on Xbox (and that won’t work on PlayStation!) we also enabled the minimap now as it finally doesn’t crash anymore there (but sadly still does on PlayStation).
And for PC only we added the option to change the UI scaling. So if you think the UI is too big you can now reduce the size via the settings file. Here are the steps how to do that:
navigate to C:\\Users\\\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Clockwork Origins\\Elemental War
open settings.ini
in UI category enter Scale=, scale factor = 1 is like the default, < 1 makes UI smaller, > 1 makes UI bigger
Full changelog
Enhancements:
added support for tower shortcuts on consoles using keyboard
added UI scaling for PC version only via settings
Fixes:
improved shockwave effect
fixed Windrunner attacking wrong area after moving it
fixed minimap crash on Xbox and so reenabled minimap functionality there
fixed controller navigation in editor from right most column of map to name
fixed saving on maps that failed sometimes (especially on Xbox)
fixed tooltip scaling on resolutions greater than 16:9
fixed typos in two monster names
