Dear testers, please note that despite the fact that the entire location of Norway is open, a large number of fish species are not yet configured properly, so not everywhere can fish as intended.

Bug Fixes
Fixed Unlock Points on the cloud save not transferring properly.
Fixed a bug where building from the Tower Table was faster than intended.
Fixed a bug where killing the previous wave would not unfreeze your Interest.
Fixed a bug where Nature, Astral, Runic, & Golem Towers would activate their effects before they started shooting, thus wasting part of their effect.
Fixed a bug with Atom Tower where, if it shot at a target, it goes out of range for a moment, and then shoots it again, its stacks would reset to 0 instead of resuming the stacks.
Fixed various pop-ups not getting adjusted by UI Scale.

That's it for this week! Apparently, Insane difficulty is genuinely really difficult this patch, according to our testers; so much so that the new Perfectionist achievement took quite a while even for our top players to get. We hope that the Co-op + Insane achievements are possible with the tweaks this patch. If not, we'll address it next balance patch.
Where's Ranked Mode?
Don't worry, we're still hacking away at it. We're hoping it'll be ready to release in about 2-3 weeks. We'll release more details when we get closer to release. If you'd like to test it out early, hop aboard our EleTD Discord, check the #roles channel, and tag yourself as part of the @testers!
We hope you've been enjoying the recently released Valerya Chapter DLC. Today we're pleased to announce that Japanese and Simplifed Chinese language support has been added to Just Deserts. The update was pushed very recently so you should already have it but if not then please go ahead and update your game now.

Today we've got a preview of 2 heroes from our upcoming first Hero Pack, coming later this month! We are still working away on the Frozen Tundra content, but we wanted to make sure to get some new heroes out for you to play with! This is a smaller content release that will add "wanderer" heroes that can be rescued only in endless mode.
Chuckles, the Clown
Just in time for Halloween, Chuckles the Clown is here to bring the creepy laughs. Claire is not a fan of clowns, but even she can't deny the healing power of laughter. Whether it's bonking enemies on the head with a large squeaky mallet, throwing pies to blind them, or honking his clown horn to interrupt their attacks, Chuckles heals his allies with every action he performs. Just don't ask him where he gets the endless supply of balloons.
Cain, the Maelstrom
You have probably already met Rafael, the Sentinel, and perhaps wondered who the Sentinel Corps use their Forcefields to protect in their universe. Meet the Maelstrom, master over the awesome power and chaos of a lightning storm. Cain's armor is equipped with a Volatile Capacitor and Unstable Battery, which allows him to quickly recharge his MP, share some MP with allies, and damage enemies randomly with discharges of lighting. When his MP is full, he can unleash the devastating Chaos Storm, laying waste to his foes.
The holiday season is upon us, and for most of us it has been a bumpy road through 2020 to say the least. So while lot's of great progress is happening on the remaining core game-play features, we wanted to change things up and have some fun to get in the Halloween spirit.
Sunny Birch has gotten a bit of a make-over and has been transformed into "Spooky Birch". This Halloween themed course will be playable through the end of the month.
While this isn't an official release we did squeeze in a couple of other small patches.
Targeting system now works with Tees and Baskets
Day/Night cycle has been set to 3 hours each
Further tweaked night-time lighting on several courses
Fine-tuned sun hazard on Dusty Canyon
Changed sun angle on Dusty Canyon so morning rounds to not start first hole with sun hazard anymore
