One quick announcement: last night we did a small update to the game, to fix some minor bugs which were affecting later stages. Stages Library B, 7 and Chambers A, 8 having been updated, as well as some of the logic concerning the jars and monsters behavior.
Things should be A-OK right now. And if they're not, please let us know! :)
Your faithful mailman,

Warlock's Tower will be available tomorrow at 11am PST for $9.99 USD. We've had a big week leading up to launch. He had a Twitch broadcast go down with Vuxxy that got front page placement on Twitch, which was very cool. You can check out the (time sensitive) recording here:

the simple and devilish 'one step equals one life lost' design
monsters!
levels you can tag team with your companion Jess
the Twitch integration, including live shots from Orangesherbet's stream from a couple weeks back

Warlock's Tower & Twitch in Action
Hello there fellow postal people!
We are in the final stretches of development and we will have release date info VERY SOON.
Right before the holidays, we had our very first test of Warlock's Tower's Twitch integration. We were able to join the very cool broadcaster orangesherbet and his audience for a session and it went really well. Check out the stream recording here: https://www.twitch.tv/orangesherbet/v/108995176 The broadcast taught us quite a bit and we added a few new Twitch related features to the roadmap. Good stuff!
Also, we've got the third set of Steam Achievement icons to show!
Thanks you all!
Tim

Warlock's Tower at Rio Indie Games Festival
Hey there fellow post people!
This past weekend Warlock's Tower participated in the Rio Indie Game Festival as one of the finalist games. We didn't take home the grand prize but it was still a great show.
In addition to exhibiting at the festival, we also made solid progress this week on our dev task list and on the Warlock's Tower <--> Twitch integration. On the latter, we're hoping to have something to share with you very soon!
