Bug Fixes

• Issue with game loading. Cache is not using system disk space at all anymore;

• Some localization fixes.

Greetings, Defenders! Whether you're a veteran of the Void or a new recruit ready to save the world, we can't wait to pull back the curtain and share what's happening with the beloved monster-hunting looter shooter, Deadtime Defenders!

Back in 2020, the game's previous studio made some tough decisions to halt development, and our squad of intrepid soldiers were left for dead behind enemy lines. However, in early 2024, the newly formed Arcane Embers studio (that's us!) put a plan in place to rescue the Defenders and bring them back home ... your home!

That's right, Deadtime Defenders is back!

As fellow fans of the game, we played countless hours and pored over user reviews to figure out what was working and what could use some TLC. So over the coming weeks, you'll see a stream of patch updates that contain gameplay improvements, quality-of-life fixes, and bug fixes. We'll also be releasing an update that makes the game run great on Steam Deck so you can defend anytime, anywhere.

We've begun working on a Story Mode that provides narrative driven ways to experience the game while blasting monsters in their ugly monster faces. We'll be introducing some new modes and gameplay mechanics so you'll be able to call down the thunder with support from AI teammates, rescue civilians, and repair field equipment vital to the mission on your new and improved journey to the Void.

Purchase Deadtime Defenders today or add us to your Wishlist on Steam.

Welcome to the third feature spotlight where we delve into one of the many features of Tundralia. First and foremost, we'd like to apologise for the radio silence over the last year, we have been working hard on developing Tundralia and are now ready to talk about the game features in more depth as we get ever closer to our early access release. Today's spotlight is all about the quests you'll complete in the game and the world you'll explore when doing so. Let's dive in!


As you start your adventure in Tundralia you'll begin with an initial quest to speak to a watch ranger which will consequentially lead into a series of over 10 main quests that span the continent as you help to uncover a rising darkness seeking to destroy Tundralia and the people that call it home.

By completing quests you'll be rewarded with experience to increase your level, gold to purchase items, reputation that unlocks access to exclusive items sold at reputation merchants, and equipment to increase your stats.

To find a quest, just look for the yellow exclamation point (!) hovering over the head of person. By talking to them and clicking the quest title in the dialogue box, the quest shall appear on screen to accept. This quest display will include the story for why the individual needs help and what with, along with the rewards should you complete it successfully.



These main quests will direct you across the landscape and will have you meet many interesting characters. kill various dangerous creatures, or collect specific items in order to complete it's requirements. You can see all your active quests and which stage of the quests you are on via the quest tracker located under the minimap. The grey button to the left of the quest stage and be clicked to set that quest as your focus, this is required to progress with some stages of quests, like visiting a specific location. The minimap will also help direct you to the next stage of your selected quest, just look at the green arrow or circle for direction on where to go.



You can also track your quests and their progress in the quest book which can be accessed by clicking the quest book button in the bottom right corner of the screen. Just expand the current quests tab by clicking the arrow button to see all the quests you current have accepted. You can also see your completed quests and failed quests in the quest book too.

Once you've finished the quest requirements you'll usually have to return to the character you collected the quest from or be directed to someone new in order to complete it and receive your reward, then you'll be able to accept the next quest in the main story and continue your adventure.


Outside of the main quests, and as you level up, you'll encounter over 20 side quests in the world as well. These quests will work the same as main quests and are picked up from characters in the world the same way as main quests, but will instead cover a smaller self-contained story. It might be helping a witch study the unseen magic plaguing Tundralia, or helping a tradesman look after his old pet mammoth, there's plenty of hand-crafted and unique stories to explore. Side quests will still offer plenty of rewards too and are a great way to level up your character, so make sure to complete them as well as the main quests.

Finally there are also repeatable quests which are symbolised by the blue exclamation point (!) hovering over the top of notice boards. These are smaller quests which normally task you with killing enemies and can be completed as many times as you like. These are a great way of earning reputation with the different factions that call Tundralia home, as well as earning experience to level up.




The world of Tundralia is dangerous place, filled with interesting locales such a dense pine forests, frozen ice canyons and frigid snow fields. The quests you are tasked with will take you across these places and more!



Over the course of early access and beyond, Tundralia will change and grow as more locations, quests and content is added so there will hopefully always be a reason to play and discover something new. Well that's it for quests and the world, thanks for reading and stay tuned for the next feature spotlight.
