Forget everything you thought you knew about Gorgon Shield! ( Which admittedly wouldn't be much as not many you have played the demo yet. ). Everything changes in this major patch.
Just in time for the big Steam Endlessly Replayable Festival, the new v0.7.0 update brings a ton of sweeping changes and improvements to the game. From the pacing of tower levels, to the displaying of stats, to UI improvements, this version of the game is very close in look at feel to what we'll see in the big July launch.
With just a few months until launch, the game is very nearly complete. From here on in, its all about balancing, bugfixing, improving systems and of course adding in the remaining tower sections 'Ramparts', 'Arena' and 'Pipes'.
Please hit me up with feedback about the game and be sure to wishlist it - I need all the numbers I can get at this stage!
Cheers, Oliver Joyce
