Tower Lords News

[p]Hello Tower Lords!

Patch #3 is live. This should take care of almost all game breaking or large issues that were discovered until now. [/p][p][/p][p]So far the only reported important issues we have left on bug list are:[/p]

• [p]Adding border to windowed mode so you can move the game window around.[/p]
• [p]Few players reported High ram usage. This is likely due to memory leak and we are trying to find what could cause this.[/p]
• [p]Some players experience issues with un-used gamepad reporting axis drift and interfering with mouse position. We are investigating this and should be solved in patch #4 or #5. Meanwhile, if you unplug extra controllers and disconnect from Bluetooth this should be a temporary fix. [/p]
• [p]Parts of localization texts are missing, because we just added them to fit new purposes and it will take a few days to arrange translations. [/p]

[p]If you have a broken save we made a topic with console commands that should hopefully fix it for you. Otherwise please send your saves to [email protected] and we'll try to fix them. Saves are located here: Documents\\FinalArcade\\TowerLords\\SyncedData\\DefaultProfile\\Saves[/p][p][/p][p]Forum Topic Link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3905630/discussions/1/671726025354544512/


Next We'll be working on improving Quality of Life features and Improving Feedback and Tutorials. [/p][p][/p]

• [p]Dark Lord fight now has more protection safeguards then Nasa uses for space launches. If the fight still breaks for someone, we'll have to ask for proof that no demonic deals were made to accomplish this feat. [/p]
• [p]Luminarch - Tower laser - now has few improvements. [/p]
  • [p]Luminarch main gun and amplifying lenses now have different visual so it should be less confusing. [/p]
  • [p]Luminarch now shows other lenses when aiming similar to how it showed enemies. [/p]
  • [p]Luminarch lenses now have tooltip messages informing player about exactly what they do. [/p]
  • [p]Luminarch should no longer point to dead enemies. [/p]
  • [p]Luminarch rotation speed was reduced for easier control. [/p]
  • [p]Luminarch bugs were it would not fire were fixed. [/p]
• [p]Tooltips should no longer stick to the center of the screens, and should be properly positioned near relevant items. [/p]
• [p]Army Selection now has tooltip telling you damage of individual warrior. [/p]
• [p]Research Perk Rune should no longer show double description of perk.[/p]
• [p]Starting new game warns you that save will be erased. Later we'll add save slots. [/p]
• [p]Bug were many more enemies would arrive each wave endlessly was fixed. And we added console commands in case your save was affected by this. (See notes above about console commands)[/p]

[p][/p][p]It has been difficult few days, where we spend all the waking hours fixing issues and making sure we can get game in stable state as soon as we could. From bottom of our heart, we appreciate all the kind words you shared, it meant a lot, and thank you for all the feedback and bugs you've sent. We are very determined to invest heavily in testing time before all future launches, and we'll not underestimate this stage ever again. [/p][p][/p][p]Hopefully, in just a few days, we'll be able to get the game in a very polished stage, and you can enjoy Tower Lords as it was meant to.

Cheers and happy gaming,
- Final Arcade Team[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Hello Everyone,

This is a quick fix for issues introduced in Patch #2.

Specifically
Luminarch the Tower Laser should now work if you load your old save. There was a particular upgrade that if you had it in old save format this would break.

Too many enemies appearing. The wave code had bugs and this has been repaired.

We also added console, which opens with ~ key. On regular keyboards it's under Escape key. For now there are few functions that will let you repair Nation Specific buildings.

• GiveMillionLight - for bugged achievement.
  
• RepairDruidBuilding
  
• RepairDarkElfBuilding
  
• RepairOrcBuilding
  
• RepairMageBuilding
  
• RepairElfBuilding
  
• RepairMagicalArtefacts
  

Patch #3 will come later today with more fixes.

[p]
We have a new trailer that shows a lot of the unique gameplay.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Quick Facts:[/p]

• [p]The game is available for purchase on Steam. Base US price: $2.99.[/p]
• [p]Available launch languages: English, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian.[/p]
• [p]Additional languages are planned soon.[/p]
• [p]A Free DLC will release in a few weeks, adding a Tower Defense / Rogue-Lite campaign.[/p]
• [p]An optional Prestige Mode for the current campaign will also be released alongside the DLC.[/p]

[hr][/hr][p][/p][p]The feeling is surreal. The incredible excitement to see players eagerly waiting for something we made and see the same promise in the idea that we did, pure dread in seeing bugs reported that slipped us by, determination to improve the game and do everything so it lives up to its potential and promise. And above it all, an overwhelming longing for the sweet embrace of sleep.

[/p][p][/p][p]We are truly grateful to all of you for your support - for trusting us, for your feedback, and for the bug reports. In just a few hours, you found things that slipped past our tiny team even after a full week of non-stop playtesting.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve done our best to address the key issues quickly, and released the first patch fixing most of them within a few hours of launch. We’ve taken a ton of notes based on your feedback, and the next days will be very busy implementing improvements.
[/p][p]We also learned a very important lesson: we need to set aside more time for testing before release. A lot of things on this game dev journey were new to our tiny team and releasing the game was a huge milestone for us.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]To players experiencing bugs: please know we are working very hard to fix them and create a smooth play experience.[/p][p]To players who enjoyed the game: it would be a huge help if you wrote a review on Steam.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]What a day! Cheers and happy gaming to you - and some desperately-needed Zzzz for us.[/p][p]See you soon with more updates,
– The Final Arcade Team[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
