Update notes for 17 January - Save and load is finally here!

It's finally here, save and load!
Along with a new ability to retry your last wave in which you lost hit points in!

Also, we found the previous gem update went too far and pushed too much power into gems. We have updated gems to reduce their strength as a gold jump and promote more strategic uses.

New:


  • Added the ability to continue from where you last left off. Progress is saved after you complete a wave. Changing your talents in any way resets all your saved files.
  • Added a new talent, Retry. Unlocks the ability to retry a wave where you lost some hit points in.
  • Added a new Path length number to the top info bar.

Updates:


  • Faster Hits, Harder hits and Immolation gems have been made Unique, only allowing them to be upgraded on 1 unit per level.
  • Mage attacks, Unholy explosions and Huxian's orb sounds have been tweaked to be less intrusive.

Fixes:


  • Sounds no longer disappear when too many are playing simultaneously.

Check out the Maze Builder bundle!

We are excited to announce a new bundle featuring two fantastic games that will test your strategic skills: Spirit of the Hellements and Tiny Tactics. In Spirit of the Hellements, you'll assemble legendary Spirits and defend against the endless hordes of Hell. A tower defence where you must shape the battlefield and create a maze using the three Hellements. Use Fire, Lightning, and Wind tiles to trap your enemies, or augment your defences. In Tiny Tactics, you'll build your own army and defend vulnerable crystals against waves of enemies. With inspiration from the Auto Chess genre, this game offers a unique twist on the tower defence genre. By purchasing this bundle, you'll get both exciting games at a discounted rate! Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your tower defence collection. Get the Tiny Tactics and Spirit of the Hellements bundle today! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/29284/_Maze_Builder/

Update notes for 1 December - Fallen Lux makes a return!

Lots of you reached out about how sad you were that Fallen Lux was removed. She is back with a rework! I hope you enjoy the new Fallen Lux.

New:


  • Fallen Lux is back into the game (2 Cost, New ability)

Fixes:


  • Fixed Iconoclast's ability where if he cast his ability while it was already active, the effect would double and continue to increase until his ability wore off. His ability was also tuned a bit higher than what the text suggested, so that has been fixed too.
  • Select menu text updated to be more clearer
  • Fixed Desert 02 a bench selection issues
  • Fixed overlapping issues with Nightmare difficultly selection
  • Titan slayer now correctly applies the highest purchased tier


[ 2022-12-01 16:11:55 CET ] [ Original post ]


Update notes for November 28 - The Soda patch

Fixes:

  • Fixed an error that could occur if you left a scout on the bench during the tutorial, crashing the bonus objective check and preventing you from completing the tutorial (fml)
  • Fixed the 4 Resonator 4 Unholy bonus objective incorrectly checking for 4 Spartans
  • Updated the selected Icon colours for difficulty selection in the campaign map to be more readable
PS: Soda was right about Melee Unit placement for effective uptime.

Update notes for November 24

Fixes:


  • Fixed issue where some achievements weren't being rewarded if you had completed the level prior to the achievement existing

The dead have started energizing the land, transforming it and opening up previously locked away areas and potential. Explore a new Biome with many updates and improvements to existing systems. With the initial release of Tiny Tactics, as players from around the world started playing and experiencing it, a vision of an improved game immerged out of all the feedback received. This update is a step towards that vision. This required some units to be removed, but expect their possible return at some point in a future update.

30 August Hotfix

Fixes:

  • Fixed Confirm Tavern popup from not accepting input the second time it's opened during a session.
  • Improved the Garbage Collection process that was holding up users from getting past login.


[ 2022-08-30 21:27:00 CET ] [ Original post ]


30 August Hotfix

Fixes:

  • Fixed the Challenge Mode Popup not displaying
  • Fixed issue with save files causing crashes when saving
  • Fixed issue that could cause a unit to get stuck on your bench


[ 2022-08-30 12:23:38 CET ] [ Original post ]


29 August Update - Unity & UI Upgrade

Changed:

  • Updated Unity Version to latest version, with all latest packages.
  • Replaced third-party UI & popup manager with an in-house solution.
  • Popups listen to input from hotkeys now.
  • Optimized Zifu model.
  • Optimized Gunnar's gun.
  • Optimized Maku's model.
  • Optimized Maiden Azul's model.
  • Optimized Lydian's model.
Hopefully, everything should function as before, just better. With us up to date with all versions now, this provides us with great a platform to build our future updates on.


[ 2022-08-29 20:59:55 CET ] [ Original post ]


24 August Update - Crashes and Optimisations

Changes:

  • Disabled incremental garbage collection which was causing random crashes for users when it decided to run.
  • Optimized Nyx's model.
  • Optimized Niyu's model.
  • Optimized Gunnar's model.
  • Optimized Nikolla's model.


[ 2022-08-24 12:47:22 CET ] [ Original post ]


23 August Hotfix - Expanding resolutions

Changed:

  • Removed restriction on specific aspect ratios above 21:9
Known issues: The resolution drop-down doesn't know when it's been moved to a new monitor, so the supported resolutions only update when it's reloaded, or on scene change.


[ 2022-08-23 10:59:09 CET ] [ Original post ]


22 August Hotfix - Very tiny Tactics

Fixes:

  • Fixed players getting an extremely tiny window when starting up the game with windows mode on.


[ 2022-08-22 17:13:45 CET ] [ Original post ]


22 August Update - Expanded Settings and Optimisations

Features:


  • Added a setting to enable or disable loading Images instead of 3d models in the shop. This should help those on older machines who are experiencing reduced performance (and sometimes crashing) towards the end of the wave.
  • Added a setting to enable or disable V-Sync.
  • Added a setting to enable or disable Full Screen.
  • Added a setting to enable or disable the camera moving between rounds.
  • The setting to enable or disable Depth of Field now also works for the campaign map.

Changed:


  • Ranged cap has been increased from 6 to 12.
  • Optimized Luxuria's model.
  • Optimized Minerva's model.
  • Optimized Scilla's model.
  • Optimized Laurelle's model.
  • Optimized Lucille's model.

Fixes:


  • Fixed Bonus Objectives counting non-unique units within the bonus calculation.
  • Fixed champions who could heal enemies if their spell power was lowered enough
This should be our biggest update to address performance issues and instability towards the end of a match. If you are experiencing issues, please turn off 3d models in the shop. What's been occurring is all 121 units have been loaded into memory towards the end of the match, and the internal unity process to clean them up is causing issues.


[ 2022-08-22 15:27:40 CET ] [ Original post ]


19 August Update - Stabilizing

Changes:

  • Reverted Unity version upgrade.
  • Changed build stripping level to include more files to address certain crashes.
  • Replaced old water which could cause memory leaks on older machines.


[ 2022-08-19 15:29:42 CET ] [ Original post ]


18 August Update - Music & Highly requested features

Features:


  • Class Buffs are now visible on units at all times, instead of just during a wave.
  • Unit Library is now accessible during a level. Click the "i" icon next to the Settings Cog at the top right of the screen to browse all available units.
  • Hovering over a class in the shop or in the in-game class display will now highlight all units of that class type in play.
  • Hovering over the Reroll button will display the current reroll rates for each unit rarity.

  • Kills are now visible in a unit's tooltip.

Changes:


  • All music has been updated with appropriately licensed music.
  • Level Bonus is now visible at all times during a wave, with a call to action to use L-Alt to see more detail.
  • Bastille's attack speed lowered to 3 attacks a second, but DPS remains the same.
  • Bastille's mana per attack increased to 4.

Fixes:


  • Fixed issue with Zyrax gaining double the intended Attack Damage from her ability.
  • Fixed issue with Zyrax keeping her increased ability buff if she cast as the round ended.
  • Fixed issue with Alera not correctly stacking hunter buff.
  • Fixed D hotkey not correctly toggling your DPS and Class view.
  • Fixed T hotkey being able to open your Tavern in rounds 1-3.

Optimisations:


  • Updated Unity's version and packages to the latest version.
  • Updated the Sound Manager to not overlay too many of the same sounds in a short duration.
  • Added additional logging to track down crashes and input issues.
  • Updated Thea's model.
  • Updated Lifen's model.
  • Updated Herrisha's model.
  • Updated Tsunade's model.
  • Updated Youxia's model.
  • Updated Demise's model.

What's next


These are the most requested features we received. This puts the game in a really good space with most of the feedback we received being addressed. We are still planning on extending the settings menu to allow players to customise their experience a little more, adding more resolution options etc. We are also working hard on addressing all issues players are experiencing.
