Update 0.21 - Changes for the Steam Tower Defense Fest
Hi everyone,
This update contains some QoL changes and bug fixes.
Changed the description of the training map.
Improved path finding speed.
Enemies can no longer "sneak" into your base by moving diagonally between buildings.
A rectangle now appears on the wall's base while you're building. This is to make it easier to see the area covered by the wall.
Fixed a bug that happened when clicking on some gems in the Status Effect Wiki.
Fixed a rare bug that happened when workers attempted to return to the town hall.
Display a warning after a unit is trained and the population cap is reached.
Display a warning when woodcutters or stone miners have no resources near their buildings.
Display a warning when the first enemy is hit.
Made the cursor smaller.
I hope you enjoy the Tower Defense Fest while we get ready to announce the game's exit from Early Access.
Till later, André
Update 0.2 - Final Obsidia map and important QOL additions
Hi everyone,
This is final update for the Early Access version of the game.
New Content
New map "Overgrowth".
A new enemy, the strongest one yet!
New research "Aura Stacking", which unlocks Nimbus Towers. They are similar to aura towers but have a longer reach.
Changes
When placing buildings you can click on an existing building with the mouse wheel to select it's ghost.
When placing buildings you can hold down Left CTRL or Right CTRL to "snap" to positions. It prevents movement over obstacles.
Workers will always drop off a resource at it's specific building instead of the town hall. This allows you to lure workers away from the town hall.
Increased the time between attack waves by 60 seconds. This is to place more emphasis on strategic gameplay. Remember that you can still start an attack wave early if you want.
I hope you enjoy the changes. Version 1.0 is almost here!
Till next update, André

Update 0.12 - High Tide, a map with large flooded areas and Sea Serpents!
Hi everyone,
We've completed the final map for Neptune! There are 2 new enemies and you must place Foundations to build on the water. If you survive the sea serpents you will unlock Gem Aura, which gives you aura towers. The aura towers temporarily add a status effect buff to normal towers, allowing them to do burn, freeze, poison or shock the enemies. So normal towers can now finally damage the mini boss!

New research "Gem Aura", which gives 4 aura towers.
An aura tower has to be close to other towers to give them the status effect buff.

The musketeer now cost less wood but more iron to train.
