Patch Notes 9/23/2024 - D.O.T. Defence
[h3]Greetings Commanders![/h3]
We’re happy to bring you our third exciting update for D.O.T. Defence! Here’s what’s new:
[h3]Dyslexia-Friendly Font:[/h3] We’ve switched to a new dyslexia-friendly font. Not only does it enhance readability, but we’ve also come to love the new look. We hope it makes your experience even smoother.
[h3]Campaign Missions:[/h3] We’ve begun work on the game’s campaign! These missions will guide players through essential skills and strategies, teaching you how to effectively master the game.
[h3]Interactive Environment - Bridges: [/h3]You can now interact with bridges in the environment! Blow them up to hinder enemy advances or repair them to guide your forces in a more tactical approach. Strategic use of bridges will now become key in your defense.
[h3]New Commander Ability - Paradrop:[/h3] Paratroopers have arrived! Use the new Paradrop ability to bring reinforcements into battle. Be aware, though—one recruit is still learning the ropes, so they may jump a little early!
[h2]Exciting Features in Testing[/h2]
[h3]Special Unit Control: [/h3]We’re currently testing a feature that may allow for direct control of a special unit! It’s still in the early stages, so we’ll reveal more in future updates. Stay tuned!
[h3]Super Structures:[/h3] We’re also testing super structures that you’ll need to capture. These structures will come with special win conditions, adding a fresh layer of strategy to the game. They’re not available just yet as we need to playtest them further, but they’re on the horizon!
[h2]Tileset and Biomes[/h2]
[h3]Bog Biome: [/h3]We’re testing a new biome—bogs. Units and vehicles will move slower in these swampy areas, adding a new layer of challenge. On the flip side, vehicles will speed up when moving on roads.
[h2]Tuning and Balancing[/h2]
We’ve done significant balancing and tuning for various structures, powers, and units to complement new commander abilities. Expect smoother gameplay and more strategic possibilities.
[h2]Taunt System[/h2]
[h3]New Taunt System:[/h3] Taunts are now available in the main menu and on the scoreboard. We’re testing out female voice options for these, so be sure to check them out and let us know what you think!
[h3]What’s Next?[/h3]
We’ll continue refining the campaign missions, expand on commander abilities, and work toward introducing these exciting new features. Additionally, we’re focusing on leaderboards and improving the game’s accessibility through localization.
[h3]Stay Connected![/h3]

Your ongoing support is invaluable. Keep playing, reviewing, and sharing D.O.T. Defence with your friends!
