Outhold News

[p]Outhold has reached 30,000 outstanding wishlists! [/p][p][/p][p]We're very happy knowing that there are so many out there excitedly waiting for the release this Friday, we couldn't be more thrilled to soon get to share the full game with all of you. [/p][p][/p][p]We also wanted to share an update with you on the launch discount. We had previously announced that the game would be releasing with a 20% discount. We've however decided to bump it up to 30%, to give you an even better deal going into the holidays. This will put the discounted price at $4.89 during the launch. [/p][p][/p][p]Lastly, we want to remind everyone that progress from the demo will carry over to the full game, including your completed levels, challenges, and the tokens earned from those. There will however be a migration limit of 10,000 triangle tokens from the demo into the full game. [/p][p][/p][p]I hope you're looking forward to Friday as much as we are![/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p][/p]

• [p]You can now hover the tokens in the top left of the upgrade tree to highlight upgrades of that type.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where you could level up towers with the shift keybind before the level up milestone had been unlocked.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where you could accelerate the last wave before the early spawn milestone had been unlocked.[/p]

[p]The demo has been updated to version 0.9.4, adding in all of the balance improvements, polish and tweaks we've made as we have been working towards the full release on December 12.[/p][p][/p][p]Here's a summary of the biggest changes included in this update: [/p]

• [p]The rewards panel shown at the end of a level has been redesigned, and now includes information about how much damage you dealt with different damage types / towers.[/p]
• [p]You can now see how much damage an individual tower has dealt during a level in the stats tooltip seen by hovering over a tower.[/p]
