Hi defenders!Today’s the day! After months of quiet development, today I’m thrilled to finally reveal my next game: DeckWrecking Pirates, a tactical roguelike deckbuilder inspired by Slice & Dice, Monster Train, and Lonestar — reimagined with chaotic pirate crews, clan mechanics, and dice-driven grid combat.Thanks everybody for the support and feedback provided while working on Rogue Kingdoms.

- Rogue Kingdoms Towers Will Change How You Play TD Games - 5 September 2025
Hi all,Long time no see!I’ve been secretly working on something I’m really excited about—and soon I’ll be able to share it with you.In the meantime, let’s talk about Towers.In Rogue Kingdoms, towers work differently from typical TD games. Instead of having dozens of shallow options, you only start with 4 base towers. Each of these towers has its own upgrade tree with 4 levels, and at every level you choose a different aspect to evolve. This system leads to multiple possible “end towers,” giving you a ton of flexibility depending on your build.Soo, how does the upgrade system work?Base level - 4 towers: Archer Tower: Great for single-target damage and strong enemies.Mortar: Area-of-effect damage focused on specific zones.Barbarian Spawner: Distracts enemies, keeps them in place, and deals ranged damage.Valkyrie Spawner: Distracts and tanks enemies while holding the line.Level 2 — Branchi…
