Good day, dear Keepers! We hope you had a splendid week! Have you been wondering why did we go into silence for almost a month? Well, here's the answer: there was a lot of meta improvements we just had to release in one batch :) Here we go...

1. New Trailer

As the new graphics actually changed the outlook of Keep the Keep quite a bit, it only made sense for us to also update our trailer, especially considering that the old one did not seem to be very engaging and not nearly as quick and furious as it should be! Thus, we have spent a couple of weeks refining our new game footage into something properly showing it off: Keep the Keep 2022 Trailer Now, after this part was quite over, we finally could be sure that the game would draw some attention whenever looked upon ;) And for the beautiful music, we are happy to thank Alexander Nakarada, check his art out here.

2. Demo Version

We have received plenty of feedback about our game lacking an easy way to test it out and see for yourself, whether you'd like this style of gameplay or not. Well, fair enough: while our old Ludum Dare Entry is still up and running, it's very outdated both in terms of graphics and gameplay alike. So, we took some time to develop a new shiny Demo Version, that would allow you to try out some Campaign levels as well as play some local Multiplayer vs your friends or AI. This Demo is now available on our public page, and we say so especially for our dear subscribers and wishlisters - now you don't have to hesitate on whether or not to buy it since you can simply check it out!

3. Quick Match

Since it took a bit of time to set up an AI match and every player would probably get stuck with a particular set of Towers they'd like to use the most, we decided to introduce a new exciting way to try something new: the Quick Match button! Whenever you push it in the Main Menu, the game will start immediately on a random 2-player map with an AI - and both you and him having a rather random set of towers to boot! Have you ever wondered what happens whenever you use Thunder, Sapper, Repair and Builder at once? Well, now you have a way to find out ;) So, if you ever feel a need for something exciting and don't have anyone to play with - just go for the Quick match and you won't be disappointed.

4. Smaller Fixes

And meanwhile, we have also integrated a bunch of quality of life improvements and bugfixes: - Levels on the Campaign map will now show their names whenever hovered upon, making the process of navigation much easier - Solders will behave more consistently, especially when having synchronous animation - Certain tips and buttons will also show up only whenever there is a need for them, as advice for the tower deletion in case of being besieged - The encyclopedia is now prettier, with towers being properly updated to the modern graphical standard! - Winter Level Scenery will show actual appropriate snow Stay chill, more cool stuff is coming in a couple of weeks!
