Last patch had some stability issues, I'm so sorry about that. Hopefully this patch will be more stable. Remember to enable "Send Analytics Data" if you want to help out, that way I will get the crash logs. I was actually working on endgame balancing before knowing about the crashes, so this patch also includes a lot of end game balancing. The current loop count is now displayed.

This update brings an in-game Achievement Tracker, so you can keep track of those that are not on Steam and it will help finding out why certain Steam achievements aren't triggering for some players. The two late game missions, Gulch and Spiral, are now Refinery missions with new random challenges every time they are started. Long range heroes and turrets are now really good at hitting fast moving distant targets.

• The Bomber in the "Frostburn" mission no longer flies away at the start if you restart after it has flown off.

Last patch shipped with a bug related to Steam Overlay, so I needed a fix out ASAP. But I took this opportunity to get in some other requested quick fixes in and the resource tracker I have been working on.

Added:

• Resources are now shown on the map when hovering over the resource bar, and rooms appear when hovering over the station button, making it easier to find what you need.
  

Balance:

• Drop Pod impact liquid removal strength reduced from 10 2.

• Blade Turret unlock path now correctly updates when unlocking Walls or Flamer Turrets.
• Hardware cursor will not be crazy big on some Linux machines.
• Worms and Deposits will no longer try to block pathing, it caused units already inside the area to stop moving.

Know Issues:

• SHIFT Selection is stuck after closing Steam Overlay using the close button. I can't for the life of me fix this. So the official solution until Steam or Unity changes their API is to just press SHIFT again when back in the game.

Turrets just got a bit smarter. They now prioritize targets more effectively. Dragged out missions just got more intense as loop events have been refactored. Each loop adds new and more enemies. Bans now apply across all item tiers. Oh, and no more friendly fire from turrets (probably).

Added:

• Cursor Size Adjustment: Change your cursor size in settings. Any value above 1 switches to a software cursor.

Dear players, We are thrilled to share some exciting news today - IDUN is now fully compatible with Steam Deck! This is something were really excited about. Many of us here are huge Steam Deck fans.

We can pick it up and put it down anytime, enjoying the game anywhere we go.
So, if you already own a Steam Deck, youll be able to play the Prologue or the full game directly on it when it's released.

With the holiday season approaching, we wish you all a joyful holiday! Lastly, just a friendly reminder: our free Prologue will be officially available on January 2, 2025, and the full game will launch on January 20, 2025!

Hello, Commanders! We're thrilled to announce the launch of brand new key visuals for both IDUN and IDUN: Prologue! We hope you'll love them as much as we do. We've adopted two completely different visual styles for the Prologue and the main game. The Prologue features a vibrant, anime-inspired design, while the main game version has a more traditional sci-fi style - hardcore yet stunningly cool!
Main Game's Key Art
Prologue's Key Art This is also our way of saying how much we value the Prologue game. Prologue is not just a simple demo but a "final rehearsal" leading up to the full release. You can even think of it as a standalone indie game. The Prologue is set to release in the first week of January 2025. We'd really appreciate it if you'd add it to your Steam wishlist, which will help us climb the Steam Popular Upcoming chart and draw more attention to our work. Thank you for your support! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3116470/IDUN/ Even more exciting news is on the way - we're actively preparing the game's official release trailer. The exact release dates for both the Prologue and the full game will be revealed soon. Stay tuned!

Hello, IDUN fans! In our last announcement we mentioned that we were preparing something special. Starting today, we'll be gradually revealing these exciting updates to all of you. Yes, we've been working hard to make IDUN better than ever! Improved and Enhanced Visuals As development progresses, weve continued to improve and enhance the games visuals. As you know, IDUN is named after the Norse goddess of youth, and our story begins as humanity sets foot on a planet named in her honor. The campaign and levels will unfold on this beautiful planet. In the upcoming free Prologue, youll be able to see IDUNs evolution firsthand.
This is IDUN in the DEMO

As a key figure in driving the story, Ro-ro will appear in both the Prologue and the full version of the game.

Greetings to all IDUN fans! It's been a while since we last shared updates with you, and that's because we've been hard at work to bring the full version of our game closer to launch! Were thrilled to finally share some exciting news with you! During Steam's Tower Defense Fest, we released a brand-new, updated demo. This version not only improves gameplay flow and details but also introduces multiple new localization languages (including Chinese, Japanese, and more). Even now, we are seeing new players downloading the demo and adding IDUN to their wishlist. Were truly grateful for your ongoing support! Some of you may have already noticed the major revamp of our Prologue store page. Were excited to announce that well be launching our free Prologue ahead of the full games release!
This Prologue is not just a repeat of the demoits a completely free, standalone experience featuring a unique rogue-lite arena mode (whereas the main game will center around its story-driven campaign). In this Prologue, youll be thrown into the heart of the swarm. Survival is the only strategy that matters! The rogue-lite strategy gameplay featured in the Prologue will also be included in the full game at launch, alongside the full story campaign. So, we truly hope youll give the Prologue a try as it will offer a fresh and unique experience compared to the current demo. Were incredibly excited to hear your thoughts once you dive in!
Finally, we kindly ask that you add "IDUN: Prologue" to your wishlist. This simple action is incredibly important to us! The growth of our wishlist directly fuels our motivation and momentum to deliver the best experience possible. We sincerely thank you all for your continued support! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3116470/IDUN/

What

How

Drag: Click and drag one of the selected and watch the magic happen! [/olist]

Why

Its been requested more than once, to be able to move many things at the same time. Imagine you want to fall back to defend the Deep Drill or cover another flank, But, it is not as easy as it sounds to implement a system to move several buildings at the same time. What happens if there is no valid position, or when finding a new valid position another building also wants to move there? I also have the design goal for the game to be playable with just one mouse button, to maintain accessibility. The solution was easy for me, I just made John do it! It was not easy for John though. : ) Big shout out to John who did the majority of the work!

Nordic Game

As a side note, I showed IDUN at Nordic Game here in Sweden. It was great fun as always to lure people in that normally don't play RTS games, and see them killing their way to a close success in the end. Lots of high fives. : )
Were looking forward to your feedback as always and thank you for your support! /Gustav

Salutations! We are thrilled to announce that our game is participating in the Steam Tower Defense Festival. It's an honor to showcase our new achievements alongside other tower defense games, and this time we're bringing a brand new, polished IDUN demo that we hope you'll love!
Our game combines the elements of RTS and tower defense, offering a truly unique experience! The new demo will include some levels from the full version, allowing you to get a sneak peek of the gameplay. In addition to English, French, German, and Spanish, we have also added new language support for Chinese and Japanese, and we will continue to add more localized languages to the best of our abilities in the future. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2186360/IDUN We hope you enjoy this demo and kindly ask you to add the game to your wishlist to support us!

It is finally time to reveal the new meta game. The Space Station!
You will be able to build and upgrade a variety of rooms. As you invest in farms, factories, storage, and weapon systems, you will witness tangible changes on the station 3D model, inside and outside.
Missions yield resources that are essential on the station. These resources are later enhanced into higher tier items onboard the station.
We might add so you can interact with the story characters onboard the space station. Engage in conversations, learn more about their backgrounds, and witness their daily lives.
