Well, shall we continue updating the game and prepare for the full release? Right, continue, having finished my beer, I made an update. I hope you like it. If anyone is reading this at all :С

So, what new thing have I made for you?:
• A boss has appeared in a small dump, a robot who has a task for you and a reward
  
• A new achievement has been added (To get it, look for the robot, you'll find out)
  
• You can blow up tanks, boom boom
  
• Fixed holes in the texture where you could fall under them
  
• A location has been slightly changed
  
• Some other bug, I forgot which one

I'm waiting for your feedback. Thank you. Your beer developer is with you :)

Don't forget for mine Twitter(X) :)

Before we dive into the build challenge for October, let's congratulate our last episode's winner, Leighsbian and Sugy for their Forbidden Labyrinth! Check out their builds and our other cool submissions over at our YouTube:


Congrats again, and welcome to the Hall of Hestia!

Our future Temple Trackers will now be on a monthly cadence. This may seem like sad news, but this means I have more time to record development news videos, and you now have twice as long to work on your submissions!

Also, starting from this episode, Temple Trackers winners will earn a physical prize! Ready to build??

The Haunted Crossing

Closes October 21st, 11:59PM CDT.


The spookiest season comes even to the mythic Crossroads, and rivers are a frequent theme surrounding death in the Greek myths.

Build a foreboding and impressive bridge and adjoining hall that evokes fear, mystery, and the spirits of the lost and fallen! A place where the dead may forever wander on their troubled path to the other side.



Other criteria or suggestions:

• Recommended to build in the Dark Forest
  
• Consider thoughtful use of shadows and lighting.
  
• Have part of your build be indoors AND outdoors.
  
• Make use of your paintbrush!

Keep in mind, I will be visiting your saves, so you might make a clear path in your build to be followed, like a haunted house! This episode will be reviewed by our directors in our special Halloween episode!

Here is the current Temple Trackers format! Please re-review as there's changes since the last episode:

• Players must submit pictures or a video of a build matching the description.
  
• Submissions can be made in Discord, in the Steam Hub, or on Twitter. Use the #TempleTrackers and @TraegaGames to help me find you. Please label which challenge you are submitting for!
  
• At the Challenge end date, I will select a top 3 and contact those players to submit their Save files.
  
• I will record myself visiting the Top 3 builds with a special guest or dev.
  
• I will compile these tours for a recap video titled "Temple Trackers," inspired by House Hunters.
  
• At the conclusion, our guest will decide which impressive build has won their hearts.
  
• Winner will be given a vanity Discord role, main menu message space, and additional prizes depending on challenge.

A Discord Game

Closes October 21st, 11:59PM CDT.


At the end of the month, I will be hosting a relay race of up to 3 teams of 4 players each (for a max of 12 players)! Our Champions must take on this obstacle course: Tides of Triumph: Poseidon's Path to Confidence.

Designed in four sections for swimming, athletics, building, and archery, Defiers must complete their assigned course and pass the Trident on to their teammate. More detail will be provided to players. The team with the best combined time wins…

And each player of our winning team will earn a reward!




Our players will be selected from the first (up to 12) interested “Champions” in Discord, excluding admins! The “Champions” role is earned by reaching Level 10 in Discord.

To reach Level 10, you need 5250 XP! You can earn that XP in a few ways:

• Complete the Daily Quests for at least 400XP each! These will be simple in-game objectives shared in Discord and social. Sharing your Quest submission to social media with #DoDDaily will add an extra 200XP!
  
  • Make sure to @TraegaGames, so I get notified.
    
  • All old Daily Quests (before Oct 7th) will only add 100XP, but can still be completed.
• Submit to the build challenge for 500XP! Create a submission for this month’s Temple Trackers!
  
• Talk about us on social with the #DawnOfDefiance for 200XP!
  
• Hang out and talk in Discord! Messages and voice chat minutes will earn you passive XP that will accumulate.

Even if starting from Level 0, you can easily become a Champion this month! Visit here for the exact Discord post (link is for existing Discord members): The Playtrials.
You can also view the Discord leaderboard.

Players will be selected on October 21st. You have until then to earn 5250 Discord XP to compete in the race! Races will be scheduled the following week.

We hope to run similar challenges each month, but the exact rewards and rules to qualify will be changed & adapted!

Hi, everyone. Welcome to my humble hub. I'm a solo developer from Vietnam and I run an indie studio named Double EXP.

I'm quite new to all of this, but I am fiercely passionate about video game. I always aim to deliver the most innovative games to you.

Today, I'm honored to introduce my most ambitious project up to date: Relics - The Card Game.



Relics - The Card Game is a collectible card game about treasure hunting. In this game, you will form a group of explorers to compete against others for ancient artifacts called Relics.

Gameplay-wise, Relics was inspired by both the classics and the new ones of the genre. The game also has a small touch of rougelike element. The result is a unique experience that is approachable, yet deep and strategic.

Graphic-wise, Child of Light and Gris were the greatest inspiration for the game. The game fully commits to the watercolor aesthetic. And I hope you will see how much love was put into the game.


Players can unlock new cards upon leveling up, and they can choose what they want to unlock from an ever-expanding pool. That's right. Say goodbye to Booster-packs and Loot-boxes. In this game, you always get what you want, simply by playing.

If you are new to the genre, feel free to unlock cards with simpler mechanics and learn things at your own pace. If you are a veteran, you might enjoy experimenting with cards of different archetypes for devastating combo. The choice is yours.

But of course, skilled players are rewarded handsomely. Players can challenge themselves with missions. By completing missions, players get additional EXP which helps them progress even faster. Skilled players can build decks that let them progress many missions at the same time. In this game, experimenting is highly encouraged.

The game is still in its early days and there are still a lot of things to do. A grand adventure is ahead of us, and I would love to have you as my fellow companion. Follow the page and Wishlist the game for more exciting news in the future. I'm looking forward to see you again. Thank you for reading this and goodbye, for now.

Hello everyone!

The release of Tower Factory is approaching, so it's time to share with you all my plans for the upcoming weeks.

First of all, I want to say that the Early Access version of Tower Factory is practically ready. From now until the launch, I will be fixing bugs, better balancing the game, and adding some minor features that are missing, but overall everything is in very good shape. I will announce the release date of Tower Factory in the coming days, along with a new trailer where you will see many new things!

Next Monday (October 14th), another Steam Next Fest will begin in which I will participate with Tower Factory. It’s the last event before the launch and I would love for many more people to try the game. To do this, it would be great if you could play the demo again during those days, and that’s why, when the Next Fest starts, I will upload a Tower Factory demo update.

In the demo update, you will find new features such as:

• 1 new unlockable factory building.
  
• 9 languages support.
  
• Control rebinding.
  
• More configuration options.
  
• Hotbar for buildings.
  
• More information in the upgrade menu.
  
• The camera can zoom out more.
  
• General game rebalance (tower damage, costs, enemies, upgrades prices...)
  
• More things I can’t remember right now

All these improvements have been thanks to the feedback you have given me over these months. That’s why it would be great if many more of you joined the Tower Factory Discord server to suggest changes, report bugs, and talk about the game with the rest of the community.

I can’t wait for everyone to play the Early Access of Tower Factory. I’ve been playing a lot these days and honestly, I think you’re going to love it!

Thank you very much for reading this far!
