In this development diary for The Enigma Cases, we want to share the game's production process and the experiences we aim to offer players.


The Enigma Cases is a puzzle game that puts you in the shoes of a detective in 2000s America, solving mysterious murder cases with your friends. The game's atmosphere combines the nostalgic vibe of the 2000s with the popular culture of the time and detailed environmental design to provide an immersive experience.

In each case, as a detective in the Enigma Police Department, you will examine evidence, solve puzzles, and piece together clues to uncover the culprit. But remember! Your interrogations and decisions can either lead you astray or bring you one step closer to the truth.



Designed for a minimum of two players, The Enigma Cases requires teamwork and communication with your friends to solve puzzles. Each puzzle is designed to test your collaboration and analytical thinking skills.






You can use equipment in the police station, examine evidence in detail, and interact with various objects in the game world. Every corner may lead you to a clue or a hidden puzzle.


Asking the right questions during interrogations is crucial. Every decision you make impacts the case-solving process.


With environmental details, music, and technology from the era, we’ve worked hard to create a nostalgic atmosphere. Get ready to travel back in time and experience period-specific phones, computers, and even desktop police files.





When building the game world, we extensively researched the daily life and operations of police departments in the 2000s. To immerse players in the era, we took a meticulous approach to environment design and object placement.




Each puzzle is meaningful on its own while advancing the overarching story. Our main goal was to challenge players’ minds while ensuring the problem-solving process is enjoyable.


We placed great emphasis on testing to deliver smooth cooperative gameplay. Puzzles are multilayered, encouraging players to communicate effectively and approach cases from different perspectives.


The Enigma Cases is not just a game; it's a platform designed for you and your friends to experience a unique detective adventure. Our team aims to make players feel the impact of their decisions and truly become part of the story, beyond just solving puzzles.



To add more variety to the game world, we are developing additional cases and puzzles. Each new case will come with fresh mechanics and surprises.


Community feedback is very important to us. We want to further improve the game with your suggestions.

......

To deliver a better experience, we plan regular updates. Gather your detective friends and get ready for your first day at the Enigma Police Department! Remember, every detail is a clue. 🕵️‍♀️

See you soon!

Survivors!

Before the Major update, called Traders & Hunting, is being released on December 13th already, we'd like to give you a sneak peek at the content of this update, so here we go.

Just like in our previous sneak peek, here’s some basic information about the main features of this update:



Using your vehicles to navigate the badlands will eventually lead you to a trader's shop. Be sure to pay them a visit and start trading by exchanging goods. You'll be amazed by what they have to offer—they’re always worth the trip.




The Hunting Lodge is an additional building for food production. As long as animals are present within its working radius, the Hunting Lodge will continuously produce food.




Each trader has their own unique Trading Post located somewhere in the badlands. The screenshot below showcases Rusty's shop, where you'll meet the feisty and good-humored trader Rusty Rolph, always ready with a snappy saying to brighten your day.


Bargaining with a trader can be tricky, so make sure to keep them satisfied with your offers. Otherwise, they might lose patience, and you'll risk damaging your reputation with them.





As mentioned in the introduction, the Hunting Lodge is a new building in Endzone 2 that supplies your settlement with food. What makes the Hunting Lodge unique is that its production remains consistent even during a drought—setting it apart from other food sources.


Wildlife will now spawn in zones to support food production. For now, there are two types of animals: deer and boars. However, be cautious not to overhunt them—they need time to recover and repopulate.




While we’re putting the final touches on the update to ensure it’s the best it can be, we’re also excited to involve you more closely in our development process. To do this, we plan to utilize Steam’s newly enhanced Beta Branch feature, which has become much more user-friendly for both developers and players.

We want to offer you—the heart of our community—the opportunity to test upcoming updates before they go live. Your feedback will be invaluable, helping us improve gameplay and catch any potential bugs before the official release. Best case scenario would be to have this ready ahead of the Traders & Hunting update's release on December 13, though we appreciate your understanding if we need a little more time.

Little reminder since the Steam Awards are still going: If you want to cast your vote and chose to nominate Endzone 2 in whichever category you feel is most fitting—whether it being the Outstanding Visual Style Award, the Best Game You Suck At Award or even the Sit Back and Relax Award; just in case you weather the post-apocalypse like a boss—we couldn’t be more grateful for your support.P.S. If you’ve completed your Steam Awards Nomination Committee Badge tasks by nominating, reviewing, and playing Endzone 2—THANK YOU! You’re amazing!

In the meantime, we’re excited to hear your thoughts, feedback, and ideas—particularly about the features mentioned in this posting.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Talk soon!

We're introducing another update to version 0.7, with fixes & improvements to the game.

This update introduces some requested balance tweaks to hopefully make the fight for leaderboards a little fairer and the builds used a bit more varied. Plus, we're working on remedying the potential for reaching a god mode status in the Endless game mode, to keep the gameplay exciting and invigorating.


We're removing the Fatigue system altogether.

Fatigue was a system, that made sure player cannot receive a damage instance higher than up to 10,000 damage. While it was implemented with good intentions, it proved to make the player virtually unkillable in the contemporary versions of the game, in which stats such as HP and Armor can raise almost to infinity. Overall, Fatigue system in 0.7 proved to be detrimental to the Endless mode overall health, nullifying the current and future endgame challenges, and completely breaking the leaderboards.

Horde is now capable of reaching higher stat caps than before, and as such, it should prove a worthy challenger for all that dare to tackle Endless for well over the one hour mark, especially on the higher difficulty levels. Be sure to check the details on the numbers posted in the patchnotes below.

The changes listed above doesn't affect other game modes, and are exclusive to the Endless mode. Other than that, we're also tweaking the Armor stat. The new formula has proved to be exploitable at very high values, so we're slowing its scaling for the late game, while keeping its effect up to 100 intact.

Many of you asked for the Glass of Milk and Frozen Heart items to be nerfed, but we like them too much, so we've buffed them instead... and introduced caps for them so they don't break the game as much.


We're doing a leaderboards refresh, keeping the old scores intact (accessible from the Leaderboards interface in-game). As mentioned briefly in patchnote for version 0.7.1, leaderboard refreshes will happen for each update that introduce substantial content or balance changes, such as this one, or the upcoming version 0.8.0. We hope you'll have lots of fun fighting for the top spots!

While on the topic, we'd like to reassure some players, that score verification using a gameplay recording upload was never meant to be taken as a requirement. Verification allows you to both legitimize your score, and to share your gameplay with other players in a fun way. When a top score is verified with gameplay video, this proves to everyone (both you and us) that the spot was well fought and earned.

A quick reminder, that the newest Steam Client allows all players to save the last 2 hours of their gameplay (as default, it can be changed freely), which can be exported as a video and uploaded at your own pace. When your run is longer than the recording time, even the final hour is more than enough to serve as a verification, so don't worry! Simply enable this function in Steam client's settings and have fun!


P.S. Are there any other video hosting services you'd like to use for your gameplay uploads?
Let us know, and we'll see what we can do to implement them as well!

• Armor calculations tweaked slightly to fall off more at very high values:

We’re thrilled to announce that the demo for Wave Defense: Trappist is now available on Steam! This is your chance to dive into the action, explore alien worlds, build your base, and defend it against waves of relentless enemies.

The demo includes several new features and updates, giving you an even better look at what’s in store for the full game. Here’s what’s new:

• The Lazer Shotgun: A brand-new weapon for your mech that delivers devastating power at close range. This is a must-have if you like to get up close and personal with alien swarms!
  
• The Ionstrike Turret: A long-range turret designed to take down powerful enemies from a distance. It packs a serious punch but comes with a slower rate of fire, making it perfect for high-impact, targeted damage.

This is the most polished and feature-packed version of the game to date, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback! Your insights and suggestions will play a huge role in shaping the final experience.
We’d also love for you to join our growing community in Discord, where you can share your experiences, meet other players, and stay up to date with all things Wave Defense: Trappist.
