Announcing The Next Big Update!

Desktop Defender · published 6 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi everyone!

It's only been 3 days since the Critical Update launched, but I'm happy to announce the new one already? It's called the Forge Update!

But before I start explaining the update, I wanted to let you know that Card Corner, our new idle game, just released and is on launch discount! If you own Desktop Defender you get a further 10% discount as well!

Forge Update

The forge update revolves around loot, and the new namesake feature - Forging. It will include:

  • New loot

  • New loot modifiers like Unique loot (can only equip 1) and Limited loot (can only equip a maximum amount of a given type)

  • The new Forging mechanic, which will allow you to combine two pieces of loot into a new, even stronger one

  • Loot loadouts

  • New level bonuses

  • New rebirth bonuses

  • And more!

The reason for making this post is that we're seeking feedback to make the update even better. If you want to help out, we've made a survey that you can fill here! It should only take 2-3 minutes.

Survey

We're planning on releasing the update around late April or early May, so it's not too far away!

I'm super excited to show you all the new stuff we've been working on, and I hope you all enjoy playing more Desktop Defender!

Also, as always, if you're enjoying the game, I would REALLY appreciate it if you reviewed it. It's the best thing you can do to support the game if you're enjoying it!

Thank you so much for reading my post, and make sure to update Desktop Defender, and get Card Corner!

Lots of the stuff that we're releasing in this new update (e.g. the forging and the special loot modifiers) were tested first in Card Corner! So if you like the sound of these mechanics, I think you'll like Card Corner too :)

- Conrad, Lead Developer
