This month was a busy month, as we released Retchid on August 18th. We've been mostly focused on fixing bugs and implementing feedback we felt fit well with the game. But we also got in some time to work on Episode 2.
Some of the things we worked on after release, this month:
Main menu functionality, adding more options and fixing how it all works under the hood
Brightness adjustment in the main menu
First pass player shadows
Enemy hit feedback animations to make it very clear you hit them and they reacted to it
Balance tweaks for enemies
Various tweaks to audio
We also started working on Episode 2's first level E2M1: Garbage Disposal, which is also the main entrance to the Industrial Complex. The industrial zone is gritty, and unkept, compared to the cleaner office/lab environments of episode 1.
Today we'll also release a patch with a flashlight and some other tweaks.
Thanks for reading, stay tuned for our next development update.
It was such a blast with you at Gamescom! Many of you visited our small booth in the Indie area and it was overwhelming to see you all having a great time with CyberTD. Such a great experience that we want to repeat as soon as possible!
But after Gamescom is before launch. There are only three weeks left before you can start protecting cyberspace from mutated viruses once and for all. The release date for CyberTD is September 28th, so be sure to check out the extensive demo now and add the game to your wishlist.
Since our ViKing 2000 drone is getting more and more popular, we asked her to promote CyberTD herself. But it seems that we had really bad luck... Why? Check out in the new trailer for yourself:
On September 28th you will get the answers to these highly important questions:
What's the story behind the drone's split personality? There's more to it than you might think...
Will the game contain viruses? (Spoiler: yes!)
How addictive can tower defense games be? 😉
Anything else you want to know about CyberTD? Let us know in the comments or join our Discord to have a chat with us!
As a small indie developer, we rely heavily on word of mouth. So if you like the game, please spread the word and add CyberTD to your wishlist. Thank you for your support. 🙏
Best regards, Sebastian & the Clockwork Origins team
