Schism has a new update dropping Feb 10th that adds some end-game content, and enhanced controller support. Keep your eyes peeled for that! But the BIG news here, is that Schism is leaving Early Access MARCH 10th!! There is no discount now, so as not to conflict with that launch discount.

[h2]LOGO UPDATE[/h2]
I'm burying the lead a little here. But as a part of this event, I'm also debuting a redesigned 2 Left Thumbs Publishing logo - made by Fiend Folio artist RedRachis!

Last year we announced that artist, Liam Crossie, was being brought in to completely redo the in-game art for 17.waves TD. Today we're thrilled to unveil the bright, playful, gorgeous new art direction for the game!



The Steam page has been refreshed with all new screenshots and a new trailer showing off all of Liam's hard work, in addition to brand new key art from Skoops! This can all be experienced first hand with 1-4 players in 17.waves public demo. Try the demo for yourself and be sure to leave us any feedback you might have.

[h3]PUBLISHER[/h3]
Hello all! This is Graeme from 2 Left Thumbs. I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be stepping in as Publisher for 17.waves!! Some of my best memories playing games have been in party-games with friends. Bottling that hilarity up with tower defense gameplay was something that immediately drew me in!

My specialize in publishing has been in working with small, indie teams. But an online multiplayer game is new territory for me. I'm hopeful I can bring a new audience to 17.waves, and make it a staple of your party games nights!

[h3]ARTIST[/h3]
While we're at it, the very talented artist Liam Crossie (follow his Insta!) has been brought in to give the game a major facelift! While the more minimal, polygonal look and feel of the game will be maintained, Liam is taking things to the next level!!


(A before and after of the basic Rolypoly enemy)

Liam's models and animations are adding a LOT of charm and personality to the game, and we can hardly wait to share more!

Feeling Lucky?

Hex Nuts and Canisters can now be tossed directly into Towers. An item must be tossed into the Tower ring so it ain't easy though!
