Update 0.7.2 - Gun Tower Recipe Modifications Overhaul, Balancing & Bugfixes
We removed the extra heat damage from the "HEAT Bullets" Gun Tower skill, as currently there are enough sources of heat damage through other towers and the Gun Tower was meant to be mainly physical damage. As a replacement this skillslot now adds additional ammo and range, as the Gun Tower especially benefits from ammo because of it's "Heat Up" skill. It's still somewhat possible to add heat damage via recipe modifications, but a lot less than before! Speaking of modifications, we've further added and changed modifiable recipes! Crafting a modified weapon should now be a lot more expensive but also allow for even more flexibilty. For this update, we've finalized our vision of the Gun Tower Equipment Tier 1 recipes. For example: The Vulcan Cannon now requires 8x Weapon Barrels, a Targeting System and Tower Hydraulics. But if using the modification system right, it allows the player to customize the resulting weapon a lot more. The final goal is, that all Tower Equipment will consist of multiple items, to allow the player more customization and make building production lines for Equipment more meaningful. We will still provide a "basic" version of all recipes which only cost "standard" materials but are also a lot weaker. This way, players who don't want to engage in the modifying should still be able to somewhat improve their towers without having to go too deep into the Modification System. Let us know what you think about these changes and ideas!

Version 0.7.2 is a bit smaller with focus on some bugfixing and balancing.
We are working on more Outposts and Level 8 in parallel and hope to release them soon!
A quick word before we start:
We are a very young and small company and it was always our dream to finally release a game, which came true with Project Astra Dominium.
We are very greatful for all you lovely people supporting us, sending in bugs, giving feedback and playing our game, so THANK YOU!
If you haven't already, we would love to hear your opinions on our Discord or within the Steam discussions <3
Now onto what's new with this update:

Project Astra Dominium is a Tower Defense game with Basebuilding and Automation elements.
Build up your base to become a supply hub for Earth's desperately needed materials, gather resources while defending against an unknown alien threat and improve your tower's and AI capabilities.
Despite those crises, humanity made huge progress in the fields of AI, which in turn allowed for enormous advances in space travel.
Scientists were even able to create a new kind of engine, which made it possible to travel faster than light. But on the downside humans were not able to survive this way of transportation.
In a last desperate attempt and in search for new resources, the EIRO (European Interstellar Resource Organization) built a brand new ship which was only controlled by an AI named "Athena".
Hoping that the AI can survive the jump and begin autonomous exploration and exploitation of resources, the ship is launched into an unknown future...![]()
Explore different planets and defend against a mysterious alien race, that seem to reproduce endlessly and eat up whole planets.![]()
Make use of the latest Nanite technology to process and refine all resources you find into useful materials for earth or new equipment for your towers.![]()
As an AI you learn from everything you do and become stronger and better.
While most of the gameplay elements are already implemented, the visuals and UX are still work in progress and not finished yet.
We will update all screenshots/videos accordingly, whenever there is progress made in those areas!
