DEMO UPDATE 0.2.9.1

Demo Update: Linux, macOS, New Languages and UI Improvements

The last few weeks have been focused on less flashy, but very important work. This update does not add any new towers, but it makes the demo feel much more polished and complete.

Linux and macOS Support

The demo is no longer limited to Windows. Native versions are now available for:

• Windows

• Linux

• macOS

You can simply install the correct version through Steam without needing compatibility layers or special configurations.

I have had fewer opportunities to test the Linux and macOS versions on real hardware, so please let me know if you encounter any platform-specific problems.

Seven Supported Languages

The demo now supports seven languages:

• English

• Spanish

• French

• German

• Portuguese

• Japanese

• Russian

More than 600 lines have been translated, including menus, tutorials, towers, abilities and all Alchemy items.

The game will also automatically select your language the first time you launch it. It checks your Steam language first, then your operating system language. If neither is supported, it will use English.

You can still change the language manually from the Main menu.

Improved User Interface

Several temporary dark panels have been replaced with proper wooden and leather interface artwork.

Tower upgrade tooltips now use wooden frames that automatically adjust to the text. I also fixed a bug that caused the tooltip size to change while switching between upgrades.

The enemy counter shown when hovering over the “Start Wave” button has also been improved. The orc icon is larger, the number is easier to read and the panel now has its own border and shadow.

The backpack received the biggest visual change. It now opens as a real leather backpack instead of a plain dark window. Items are displayed inside the central area, text is easier to read and the close button now matches the rest of the game’s interface.

Small but Important Fixes

Backpack buttons now animate correctly when hovered. Previously, opening the backpack paused the game and also froze the button animations.

The music now continues playing inside the skill tree. It no longer stops or restarts when moving between the different menu screens.

These are small changes individually, but together they make the demo feel much smoother and more finished.

Join the Discord

A Discord QR code has been added to the main menu.

You can use the Discord server to report bugs, suggest new towers, share feedback or follow the development of the game.

I read everything, so please feel free to join and tell me what you think.

About This Demo

Orcs advance along fixed routes towards your kingdom. Spend gold during each match to place defensive towers beside those paths. Positioning matters: every tower covers a different area, attacks at its own pace, and fulfils a specific role. Upgrade your defences during battle; combine arrow, artillery, fire, and other tower types; adapt their placement to each wave.

The player also takes part through active powers. Use them at the right moment to damage groups, stop dangerous enemies, or reinforce a weak section of the defence. Gold belongs to the current match, while experience earned by completing maps becomes permanent progression.

Defeated enemies and completed missions can reward collectible chests. Their loot provides materials and equipment for the Alchemy Laboratory. Craft items, socket them into elemental towers, then customise fire, ice, electricity, poison, or shadow builds. Range, attack speed, damage, critical effects, bouncing attacks, freezing, poison, and other modifiers can be combined to create specialised defences.

Permanent experience is invested in a branching skill tree. Improve arrow towers, artillery, fire towers, flamethrowers, economy, or other specialisations to support your preferred strategy. Progress through increasingly difficult maps; unlock new systems; test your strongest builds in Endless Mode, where conventional towers gradually lose effectiveness and elemental optimisation becomes essential.
