Hi, it's me, FVS, the solo dev of Towerful Defense: A Rogue TD. As you may already know, I'm working on the first expansion of the game, which is coming in a few months. Today, I'm very happy to show you the very first and early look at it. Here's how you get it:

• Right-click on the game in your Steam library and select Properties...
• Select Betas tab in the popup
• Select public_beta_no_password... from the dropdown (select None to go back to the default version)
• Cose the popup and launch the game

[previewyoutube=2c8xMu7uI40;full][/previewyoutube] Again, it's just for an early look at where the game is heading, there are still tons of cool things that are not there yet and they will all be available in February 2025. Wishlist the expansion now so you'll get informed on the release day: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3334720/Towerful_Defense_A_Rogue_TD__The_First_Expansion/ See you next time!

Hi, Towerful Defense: A Rogue TD has sold 10K+ units on Steam. Yay!!!! Thank you so much for the support! Now it's time for celebration, and the only right way to do it is by adding more content to the game So, I officially announce The First Expansion DLC (a.k.a update v1.2) is coming, it is free, of course. It will bring new game modes and accompanying contents, as well as many improvements to the game. Expect it will be BIG! The DLC will be released on 19 Feb 2025 (PST) You can wishlist it now to get notified: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3334720/Towerful_Defense_A_Rogue_TD__The_First_Expansion/ Meanwhile, if you have any suggestions for the update, I'd be very glad to hear it in the comment section.

Talking about defending the Earth...

I'm a solo dev and I was completely working from while working on this game. The development of the game emitted approximately 323.44 kg of CO2, and that scored an A rating on the sustainability scale of a sale event the game is participating. The sale is happening on Steam soon with many other games revealing their CO2 emission and rating, watch out for it!

Look further into the future...

I'm experimenting around with a new game whose premise goes like this: Shoot your way out of a relentless pursuit in the middle of a desert in your armed truck to deliver a stolen Time Relic. Harness the relic's power to aid your escape, but brace yourself for the unimaginable consequences. Wishlist it now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3293650/Relic_Delivery/

Now back to the present, I still need your help...

If you like the game, please leave Towerful Defense: A Rogue TD a review. Your support makes the updates and expansions possible.
Thank you and see you next time!

Hello, towerful defenders! As said in the previous announcement, I'm working on new features, contents, and improvements for the game. It takes time to deliver an update that is fully localized and tested, but I know many of you are eager to hand-on those updates as soon as possible. So, if you want access to the latest builds and possibly help me test them, let's follow this guide to opt-in the beta branch. See you next time!

Hello towerful defenders.

Our launch was a success! Towerful Defense: A Rogue TD made it to Steam's New and Trending list and stayed there for almost 2 days. It was something that I obviously couldn't achieve without your support. I'm so thankful for the journey we've had so far, and I'm here to tell you that it's far from over.

Here's what's coming next:

Quality of life updates: first we have to polish even more we already have. These update will include bug fixes, new features that improve the game's experience, new tutorials for players who are not familiar with the genre,... Free content: new towers, skills, items that will make you explore more playstyles. Free content are made possible, again, because of your support. Trading cards: for players who love collectibles, here's good news, Towerful Defense: A Rogue TD is now allowed by Steam to drop Trading cards, if you've played the game more than 2 hours, you'll see them in your inventories soon.

Leave a review

If you haven't yet, this should be the time to tell other people about how you think of the game by leaving it a review on the game's page. That also helps me A LOT! Hope you all enjoy the game. See you next time!

[ 2024-08-02 16:45:11 CET ] [ Original post ]

- New: while in a run, displays buffed cooldown instead of the original. - New: remembers fight's speed. You can also adjust the speed in the pause menu. - Improved: the story scene before starting a new run. - Fixed: starting a new run by using the Next hostility button didn't reduce the first skill's cooldown time. - Fixed: the item that doubles a random main stat sometimes didn't double any stat.

[ 2024-08-02 16:15:58 CET ] [ Original post ]

- Fixed: UI navigation acted like an arrow key was being held

[ 2024-07-31 18:55:29 CET ] [ Original post ]

- Fixed: game still paused even when the Pause when lost focus option was off

It's such a great joy and motivation to continue working on the game knowing there are thousands of players waiting for the release.
