- A Heart-to-Heart from the producer of Sanctree - 2 August 2025
Hi everyone, It’s been a few months since we last connected, and the free updates for Sanctree have been on pause for a while. But since some of you have been asking about the team’s status, I thought I’d drop in and chat—just like old friends catching up. 'Guardians of the Sanctree' is my first true indie game, and now, it’s also the source of the $70,000 debt weighing on my shoulders (wry smile). During development, I gathered a team of nine trusted friends (some of them are from my college club). Someone said a 10-person team was too risky for an indie project, but I believed that if I was going to fully realize my vision, I needed the right people—to polish every system, tweak every asset until it felt just right, no matter the time or cost. Back then, we crammed into a tiny rented office (sharing the space with another company), takeout boxes piled in the corners, working under the…
- From a Team of 10 to 1: What We've Experienced - 25 March 2025
Hello, Guardians! I'm Orange, the producer of Guardians of the Sanctree. It’s been over half a year since the release of the game, and some of you might have noticed that the pace of our free updates has gradually slowed down. Today, I want to have an honest conversation with all of you about the current situation of our team. Sanctree is a game that embodies the passion and dreams of our team from the very beginning. We started out as a group of students who shared a love for gaming, coming together with excitement and high hopes for game development. Initially, our team consisted of 10 people, each with their own responsibilities. We worked tirelessly, day and night, to create this multiplayer game that blends base-building, automation, and tower defense. Every new idea, every line of code, every piece of artwork, and every technical challenge filled us with both excitement and nervou…

Hello guardians! The game has had several updates in the past few days, and the current version is 1.0.15. Please check your version number before playing! We sincerely apologize for an issue caused by an update around 3:40 a.m. (PDT) on October 9th, which resulted in the disappearance of raw materials and outputs in factories.

We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this has caused to your gaming experience! In version 1.0.15, we have made significant optimizations to frame rate performance.

- Sanctree v1.0.8 Update Notes & Temporary Suspension of Cloud Save Feature - 6 October 2024
Thank you all for your feedback! Below are the detailed contents of this update, with more updates to come soon! 1.0.8 Fixed the issue where the wood mine could not be upgraded. Fixed the issue where dismantling the advanced cutting factory still yielded a basic cutting factory. Fixed the issue where the store displayed prices that did not match the actual prices. Fixed the issue where killing the giant crab boss caused an error. Now, when reloading a save, the bugs that were stuck in the bug nest due to the endless bug nest bug will be deleted.

Therefore, we have temporarily decided to disable the cloud save feature. Once we resolve the cloud save issues, w…

- New goals! What Behind The Dev Team - 6 September 2024
Hello Guardians! Summer has ended, and autumn has arrived. Have you also changed your identity? Thank you to all the players who are still supporting us. Our Kickstarter campaign was a success, it feels like a dream. Not long ago, we wrapped up our graduation ceremony. After the busy period of game development, it was a rare pleasure to sit on the lawn and breathe in the fresh air. During this brief moment of leisure, I felt inspired to write down some stories and reflections from the past few years. One of the team members Some of you might be surprised. Yes, we’re not seasoned professional developers, but rather students struggling to juggle bug fixing and academic responsibilities. Looking back on my college years, it’s hard to say if they were fulfilling or a waste of time. In the eyes of my “social butterfly” and “athletic” classmates, I was always the odd one out, spending days in…
