Hold the Fort patch 1.3.0
Patch 1.3.0 brings minor optimizations to increase performance on lower end machines
Defenders,
This latest patch to HTF I have tried to bring some optimization improvements and lowered the resolution of several textures to reduce the overall size of the game.
This year for HTF I want to release a free content update with additional towers, spells and maps. Timing is TBD, since most of my free time is going to my next project, but know that it is in the works.

Hold the Fort patch 1.2.0
8/5/19 Patch 1.2.0 Notes
Summary
Tower damage is now disabled by default; Tweaks to difficulty in Pure TD mode
Defenders,
It has been a couple wild months since release and I just wanted to say thank you to the community and everyone who has played HTF so far. I have been loving the feedback that has been coming in so keep it coming! As a solo dev, I cannot always implement every idea that comes my way but I love hearing the ideas you all come up with.
One change that is coming today is minor but I think much needed, most of the negative feedback that has been coming in has been centered around the tower damage mechanic - so I am setting it to default to OFF. You can still change this in options and in the level selection menu for an added challenge, but hopefully this does not deter new players any longer.

Hold the Fort is launching June 6th 2019!
Defenders,
Hold the Fort will be launching on June 6th 2019!
It has been an amazing journey and I am ready to share my work with the world. Building this game by myself has been an absolute challenge, but such an amazing experience. I hope you all enjoy this game as much as I enjoyed making it.
I will continue to monitor and update the game, I expect there to be a few tweaks needed once a larger amount of players take the battlefield!
Quick note to current testers, all saves have been wiped with the introduction of localization, had to change a data structure to ensure our non native speaking friends can enjoy the experience as well!
Cheers,
Monster Tooth

Defenders,
Excited to announce Hold the Fort is now feature complete and entering the final phase of development!

HTF March 2019 update
Defenders,
March has been a busy month here and much progress has been made!
The last faction, the undead, has finally been implemented, which closes out the milestone of adding the last planned enemy. I say planned, because I may randomly inject more :)
The undead faction brings a few new enemy types, such as the ghost and phantom, who are immune to all physical damage! You will either have to attack them with your spells or use a tower that deals magical damage to bring them down.
So with that - I have added another magical damage dealing tower to help combat these entities: the Slicer tower. The Slicer tower hurls magical flaming discs at any creep within range, igniting the enemy for a few seconds of additional burning damage.
Along with these two major changes, there is a host of minor QOL improvements and fixes this month as well.
