Another busy month is over and we have quite a few updates. As already mentioned last month I was guest at the Podcast of DieStrategen. You can find the episode with me talking about Clockwork Origins, Elemental War and of course CyberTD via their link tree<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then I was at CloudPlay<\/a> also talking about Clockwork Origins and CyberTD and other cloud gaming topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And we started prototyping a new game idea. So far we have the awesome name „Secret Project“ for it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our new game prototype is again a turn-based strategy game based on board game mechanics. You place hex tiles to expand the influence of the core of cyberspace and eventually connect to various power generators scattered around the map.<\/p>\n\n\n If you know Dorfromantik<\/strong> or the board game Carcassonne<\/strong>, you will immediately know how to play the game. But we have some special features that make gameplay extra spicy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you think?<\/strong> That’s the basic concept. We have many ideas on how to deepen the experience, but we also want to know what YOU would like to see in a game like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We only have a small prototype right now, so we’re open to your suggestions. This doesn’t mean that we can implement all of your (and our) ideas and wishes. But now is the time to dream \u2013 and maybe your dreams will come true! Join our Discord<\/a> to stay up-to-date and discuss the idea with us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In October we finalized the third case, „Der verlorene Sohn“. It’s available since November 1st and if you haven’t subscribed you still can get it through the archive case. The fourth case is also in progress now and will be available on December 1st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also prepared a demo version for the Crime Mails<\/a> in October. The demo allows you to play the first email of the first case for free to get a feeling how the whole thing works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more about Crime Mails<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the last progress report in October we launched the second patch<\/a> for CyberTD to fix a few more things and improve on others. Since then we focussed on the content updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first content update will go live next week and feature the new endless and strategy modes including new scoreboards for them. There are also several small improvements like mutators also working in multiplayer and some text improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The endless mode will be able to be played after finishing a wave 100 run. You then get your score and can decide to just continue playing until your integrity falls to 0 to see how long your build lasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The strategy mode will be for those of you that want to optimize their build. It will have pre-defined waves and paths, so you can plan your whole strategy and know exactly when what will happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now we’re working on the second content update scheduled for December, around christmas. That update will feature 5 new level-ups with a total of 20 new upgrades. We thought of some nice new mechanics to allow new ways of playing the game and we really hope you’ll like them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is one new core mechanic now that allows to shuffle new cards into the deck. These can be some trash cards for good upgrades, so the trash cards are the downside of the good upgrade, or you unlock some new cards by playing special cards before (we call them quests). Completing quests can then for example yield a way better card. And of course you can also get rid of trash cards again or even build your strategy around them by other cards that rely on having many of them in your deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no concrete plan for the new year yet as we always want to check your feedback what we should go for next. So feel free to join our Discord<\/a> and share your opinion with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more about CyberTD<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nSecret Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
