A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44742905/f6f0c8de56f778d066b31601484838c11a612fe0.png Warning, this update will wipe your progress I learned that this update will wipe your progress. I apologize to anyone who loses a significant amount of progress from this update. It appears that adding the extra level is likely making the old game save not compatible with the new save system. Final Update This is the final major update of the game! The two main new features are Survival Mode, which is an endless map with procedurally generated waves. Survival Mode This adds some story to The Ironbourne character and two
Level Unlock I wanted to get this fix out immediately after I found the cause of the level unlock bug. Many players were having trouble unlocking the levels on the level select screen, due to the save system not registering what level they were on. This should be fixed! Skip Story Aside from that, I added a "Skip Story" button for the story segments, Press the ESK key to bring up the pause menu during the story segments and you can now skip to the next level. Performance I did some performance optimization to help improve performance for lower performance builds. Balance I've made balance chan
Small patch to fix achievements unlocking even if player loses. Slight adjustment to Level 5 money, air unit spacing and tank hp for early game Code fix to assure achievements only unlock when level is won
Audio I'm happy to announce that we've added new features to the game. First off, many have noticed that the audio sliders were not present in the main menu, and the audio settings didn't always carry over from one scene to another. The sliders were intentionally not included in the main menu due to technical issues pre-launch. Not only have we fixed the issue of the settings carrying over, but the audio sliders have been added to the main menu. Achievements We've also added Steam Integration with Achievements. This has been a learning experience, and my first time using Steam Achievements in
Fixed Level 3 loading to the wrong cutscene Reduced number of Chargers Units (blue enemy units) spawning at the end of Level 3 Fixed description of MG tower Level 5 reduced number of tiles and models in environment Level 5 baked lighting Fixed Level 7 loading to the ending cutscene correctly
Day 1 hot fix. Many minor fixes and balance changes but the primary change is fixing the level unlock system which was not unlocking any levels after level 2. I apologize to anyone who lost their save or never got their progress saved, but the issue should be resolved now. Fixed issue with Dual MG not turning it's model towards target Fixed Dual MG pivot point Fixed typos in dialog Adjusted stats of Level 3 wave 7, 8 and 15 Fixed issue with a portrait of Astraea not turning off properly in Story Scene 1 Reconfigured level manager to address level unlock bug Fixed Level Manager to not force sce
