Version 0.7 adds flags to Tower Knight -- plant flags on vacant tiles, Ramparts, or Scouts to increase your score. Your high score will only update if you achieve victory, so you will need to balance expanding land and capturing enemy towers.

Version 0.7.#
The next update will include a control to fast forward enemy waves. I expect to make a few more minor updates to 0.7 to make the game systems more clear -- so if you have any quality of life requests now is a great time to let me know either on the discussions page or on Discord: https://discord.com/invite/vMmVxYuYbg


Version 0.8
Version 0.8 will introduce the next major graphics update. In version 0.8 I plan to update all of the towers, the fountain, the treasure chest, and the terrain. Version 0.8 will also include new images on the card, and a legend that shows which cards are Common, Uncommon, and Rare. For those curious, the breakdown is:
Common: Archer, Cannon, Trees, Stones, Fountain, Chest, Extra Energy
Uncommon: Rampart, Scout
Rare: Dexterity, Health, Strength, Dexterity, Destroy, Flag

Version 0.9
In version 0.9 I plan to let the player configure their knight's stats and starting deck. I plan to make it cost max health and max energy, and maybe even debt (negative coins) to purchase starting cards.

Version 0.10
Version 0.10 might be the last update before exiting early access and releasing 1.0. In v0.10 I plan to add a save/load system, achievements, and Steam Leaderboards.

Developing Tower Knight has been a blast, and I can't wait to get the next batch of features out to you all. I used to make mobile game on iOS, but I felt like my efforts were stumbling in a void. On Steam, however, I get to hear from all of you. Whether it is on Discord, the Steam Page discussions, or a review on the Steam Page, I really appreciate it all.

UI QoL improvements and bugfixes. Minor balance tweaks.

• Temporarily removed NPC's not being interactable while nighttime until we get their sleeping fleshed out.
  
• Fixed an issue when rebirthing, characters would lose their Heroic state.
  
• Fixed an issue where poachers were not able to use their melee weapons.
  
• Added a limit to how long we'll wait at a loading screen for the world to finish loading when teleporting via map or portals. This should help with those odd scenarios where something may not fully load and cause the loading overlay to not disappear.
  
• Fixed an issue when loading into the world for the first time, you'd see the camera "moving" to player. This is related to fixes with the limit on loading screens.
  
• Fixed an issue with Skeleton's not being able to move in Lothric's Dungeon.
  
• Fixed an issue when unequipping an item that was already in inventory, the quantity would not be updated in inventory until it was refreshed.
  
• Fixed issue where weight wasn't being calculated properly when dropping or picking up items (wouldn't calculate until opening inventory).
  

• Added functionality to stop enemies from attacking when loading into an area or the game. This will prevent players from being attacked while they have a loading overlay.
  
• Formatted player stats in health bar to show commas.
  
• Added the functionality where pressing Z or right -dpad in the wait screen, causes the cancel wait event.
  
• Reduced Lucian's (tutorial boss) health by 50% to phase him easier.
  
• Reduced Lucian's (tutorial boss) strength by 70% to make him a bit easier to phase.
  
• Added additional checks to potion wheel to potentially fix the potion wheel getting stuck. We now ensure the game port is focused when the menu disappears. If you click inside potion wheel it does not keep the mouse selected when it's hidden.
  
• Increased the opacity of compass indicators.
  
• Changed color of discoverable areas on compass to orange to help differentiate between the white indicators.
  
• Updated Respawn Icons/color to differentiate between others on the map.
  
• Removed the "Heat" effect from the torch, could be a little too much at times.
  
• Added an overlay for when the player is Over-Encumbered.
  
• Added a highlight to items being looted.
  
• Added an icon for bosses so they're easier to see when they have a dedicated health bar.
  
• Reduced the amount of crit from intellect, was 1 crit every 10 int, it's now 1 crit every 20 int (this was scaling a bit too much, more in line with others now).

Hello Adventurers! As the game continues development (Chapter 2 is almost complete now!) we are rolling out some quality-of-life changes and bugfixes for players on the demo side of things, making sure that any bugs found during development don't impact the live player experience.

• Added an indicator on the borders of the screen when a boss is no longer in view of the player for easier tracking.
  
• Spawn Area for Stage 1-4 was updated to match the other spawn areas in the game.

• Fix knockback effects that had bonus knockback (such as enemy charge attacks) not being applied to the player or monsters.
  
• Fix a bug where knockbacks that occur at the exact same location as a player or monster would cause a division by zero error.
  
• Fix the Health % stat, it simply was not working before...
  
• Fix a bug where Healing does not restore the Player back to full health if their health is incremented by the Health % stat.

Thanks again for taking a look and playing the demo. We hope you are excited as we are about the future release of the game. Stay tuned for further updates about the progress of the game!

It's late Friday night and updates are brewing in New Boston. This is when the heisters like to make their hits, so let's dive in. With Update #88, we've buffed 2 Hacker Talents focused on more stealthy style of hacking - Scapegoat and Spoof - as well as adding 4 new filters to help you sort out and manage your files and their relation to sets. We've fixed a longstanding issue about items selling for $1K and the odd price mismatches in the grid and sell UI, well as fixing issues with first turn buff Leverages and resolving any lingering bugs caused by the loadouts screen.

If you're enjoying the pace of updates and improvements, please take a minute to share the game with a review. We're working hard to keep Early Access a constant forward motion and we'll be putting up a preview thread for the next class added to the game next week.


Both Scapegoat and Spoof received starting Duration buffs. These both started with a very slim duration, making it hard to use them advance and leaving some possibility that the tokens could simply expire. An extra turn for each, and with duration boosters among their upgrades, makes them a more versatile play.

In addition, the Scapegoat passive Talent which blocks Q-Sec Tally added by destroying an IC that is not disabled (often with Nuke or Null Op) now has an addition starting token. We're testing out this balance and considering if it needs even more token buffs in the upgrades tree.


We've added a set of 4 new filters for files to help you organize and prioritize for sale, keeping and use.

• All Files that are not included in a set can be shown or hidden using the "Not used by Set" filter.
  
• All files that are part of a set can be shown or hidden by using the "Used By Set" filter.
  
• If a File was created by minting a set, you can now use the "Created by Set" filter to find these result Files quickly.
  
• Finally, if a file has a Use action, like a V-Chip or a File that can create a mission, these are now easy to locate using the Has Use Action filter.

These new filters should cover the use cases we've heard from players across our channels. Thanks to everyone sharing how you're approaching files in Discord, Steam and in F10s!


When you're in your inventory, you're likely checking on something to equip, sorting out weapon mods or planning to sell something. We've worked on smoothing out the selling experience and preview prices for all types of equipment and fixed the bug that was forcing all items to sell for exactly $1K.

There are 3 places prices are shown in the Inventory - a preview price in the grid, a preview price in the Sell button and a final price offered by each individual contact. For items, all 3 of these prices were different until Update #88.

Before Update #88, the grid price was showing the preview for what you'd pay to buy it, but you already own it ... so now it is nicely updated to preview the sell price as early as possible. Items were also incorrectly using the price of their bundle (Buy 5 for $15K) instead of individual prices ($3K).

Anyway, its nicer and you can make some money, if not riches, by selling items now.

We're glad to see this set of issues resolved and are working toward multi-buy and multi-sell with a quantity slider. That will be wildly helpful here.

If you were having any loadout issues - such as missing armor - making the character roster screen or inventory screens act oddly or freeze, we've fixed a set of issues that came along with the big release of the safehouse. Your games should be automagically healed, so just boot them up and play on.


A big thanks to everyone reporting specifics with your F10s about any Leverages that aren't working. It is great to see everyone using these so much. This update includes a fix to ensure that Leverage buffs aren't lost incorrectly during a retry turn or retry mission.

- Buffed Hacker's Scapegoat Talent with +1 Turn duration and +1 token, switch a duration upgrade to recharge rate
- Buffed Hacker's Spoof Talent with +1 Turn duration
- Added 4 new filters for Files in Cold Storage - Not Used by Set, Used by Set, Created by Set, Has Use Action
- Cyber Surgery tag in roster shows time for recovery inline
- Improved inventory pricing display to ensure the price shown in the grid, the Sell button and the contact list all match
- Fixed issue with Items always selling for only $1K
- Fixed issue with File "Use" button only appearing in "Files" tab but not "All" tab in Cold Storage
- Fixed issues caused by loadout screen last week, issues with not wearing any armor
- Fixed issues with first-turn buffs from Leverages
- Improved matrix hover for auto-dump nodes

Another month another quick patch!

This patch mostly tweaks and fixes some small things. One of the biggest addition is the addition of spoil statistics, which will be zero for previous seasons and save games, and adding average age to the team selection analytics screen. The AI will now make space on their list for draft picks more cleanly, meaning not all teams will draft every round, and some improvements to the trade system have been made, including one bug where superstars could be traded too easily, and making sure players don't get traded two years in a row by the AI.

In terms of bugs, it should also now be easier to advance years on 31 December (a "white whale" bug) and a couple bugs related to the substitution rule have been fixed.

Hope you enjoy the new patch!

1. With this update, you can now play the demo up to DAY6!
2. We are participating in the Steam Open World Survival Crafting Fest!

Hello everyone, regarding the follow-up plan. We will focus our work on the production of DLC,
We will plan to update five DLCs: four regular DLCs+one large DLC.

Among them, four small DLCs are the personal storylines of four characters (each will include a separate long-term storyline and unique gameplay mechanism, this is to improve the worldview and explore gameplay before making the large DLC). The large DLC had a preview at the beginning of the year (you can see the end of the news article for details):
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2055050/view/4020094168394125606?l=schinese

As we mentioned earlier, due to the realistic causes, we plan to complete these DLCs in the form of crowdfunding.
Firstly, we will release the first DLC for free around June 21st. For information on the content of the first DLC, please refer to:
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2055050/view/4170971564127656345?l=schinese
You can decide whether to support us when you experience the DLC. If the basic development needs can be maintained, we will continue to update the game's additional content and optimize the ontology experience.

As for the specific crowdfunding plan and update plan, we will announce it after the release of the first DLC (most likely on a subscription basis). If you are interested, you can like this news or follow our official Twitter account:

Thank you for all support and assistance along the way.

I've been doing a long-term playtest and recently came across an interesting dilemma which shows the experience I'm trying to create for players.



This is Churrs! It's a bar in London run by Ahmadreza Jamali with occasional help from his friends Pei and Hertha.



Established in April 2032, Mr. Jamali was able to become profitable within 10 months thanks to his previous experience as a bartender and his love of alcohol keeping his spirits up.



Churrs! was doing so well that Mr. Jamali decided to move to a bigger premises and expand his operations in October 2033. He spent quite a bit of money on capital investments, which took a large chunk out of the household's savings...



...and hired more staff to help with the increased workload...



...until eventually the business was profitable again.



Unfortunately for Mr. Jamali, the economy was slowing down and within a few months had nose dived.



The revenue from bars are strongly affected by the food service and entertainment industries, and both were falling along with economic growth.



At the same time, expenses such as beer and cooking ingredients were rising due to increasing agricultural inflation!

Faced with this predicament, Mr. Jamali has a few options:

• Scale back operations, fire staff, stop advertising and hope the food service and entertainment industries recover soon. Maybe get a personal loan from the bank or sell the household's stock market shares to cover expenses in the meantime.
  
• Sell the business while it still has decent value before things get worse. Maybe leverage his experience gained as a bar manager in people management and customer service to find a job in a different (and growing) industry.
  
• Pretend everything is fine and don't change anything.

What should Mr. Jamali do? Will the economy continue diving into a recession? Will the food service and entertainment industries recover before the household runs out of money? I don't know but I'm excited to find out!

For those of you who want to just quickly experience the story and skip battles, this update is for you! Now on the table of the break room in the Axe Cop Station is the infamous Dinosaur Horn. For those who remember, Axe Cop originally flew to the Dinosaur Horn Planet to rent this horn and used it to destroy the King of All Bad Guys' brain. It seemed like a perfect item for this particular task.



To use the Dinosaur Horn in battle, select it from the Items menu. There it'll automatically target all enemies and then do so much damage we can't even show it. Literally, it breaks the game's damage cap to obliterate these bad guys.

But user be warned! You only can get one of these items in the entire game. If you are playing the game and not worried about skipping any of the fights in the game you can sell this item at the Pawn Shop to get a hefty amount of cash for sodas and snacks.
