Status: Windows: YES Mac: Still Compiling Linux: Still Compiling Changelog: 2.0.5c: - Fixed a crash bug on beating bonus levels 2.0.5b: - Crashdumper will provide a helpful notice on crashing - Fixed crash bug with mods - Turning off crash reports will also disable crash-dumper (possibly improves performance if you disable crashdumper, not sure. Certainly doesn't hurt performance to disable crashdumps). 2.0.5a: Performance: - Optimize pathfinding - Kill memory leak - Make sure projectiles are properly destructed & recycled - Make sure shadows are properly destructed & recycled - Make sure HP bars are properly destructed & recycled - Make sure effects are properly destructed & recycled - Make sure enemy wave blocks are properly destructed & recycled Bugfixes: - Added safer file saving (gracefully prevent crashes if file permissions forbid saving) - Added warning if game cannot autosave - Fix crash in mod interface - Fixed the crashdumper so crash log files will now be produced in your game's save directory! (Screenshots on crash is currently broken, but everything else is logged) - Fix some random crashes - Make sure battle layouts are preserved in imported saves - Removed redundant achievements.xml file write when boosting to level 5 (caused slight lag) There are more patches to come. We will continue to fix any performance issues, bugs, or crashes you report, as well as bring a few new feature online such as Steam Cloud, Workshop, and Controller support.

Defender's Quest is a Tower-Defense/RPG Hybrid (Think Final Fantasy Tactics meets Tower Defense). It focuses on three things: tactical depth, customization, and story. That means no random encounters, no spikey-haired emo kids, no forced time sinks, and no tedious, repetitive battles.

The battle system builds off of tower defense, with individual characters taking the place of towers. Each character levels-up, learns skills, and equips gear individually, allowing the player to customize their battle experience and strategy. The overall game structure is similar to "tactical" RPG's, but with a real-time battle system. Game speed is adjustable, and commands can even be issued while the game is paused.

It also features an engaging, character-driven story written by an actual English major! The story strives to be fast-paced, snappy, and always relevant to gameplay with minimal exposition. Finally, it's got options and accessibility settings out the wazoo, so that you can have the best possible experience!

--------
NOTE: this game is currently locked at 30 FPS. This is mitigated by three factors:

• You have full control of time, so it doesn't affect reactions.
  
• The sprite sheets wouldn't animate any faster at 60 FPS anyway
  
• A full HD/60 FPS upgrade is coming soon as a free upgrade.
