Hello hello! It is been a while since our last update about the game!, so i'm going to share a bit of what's coming for Iconia Defenders! New Tier 1 enemies! Now enemies are divided by tier. All the current enemies belong to tier 1. This includes minions and mini bosses. Basically, they are all the enemies that you will face before reaching the first boss. Courtesy of game-icons.net From left to right, prepare to face Giant spiders! These creatures have a strong exoskeleton, so they are resistant to physical damage. And they will spawn baby spiders when defeated! The baby spiders are weak, but they can quickly become a real threat! Then, you may be attacked by Eagles! These flying creatures have high health and are resistant to physical attacks. But they don't go straight to your Extractor like the bats, instead they will fly in circles for some time before attacking. Last but not least…
- Development update #8 - Player's hand: Before & After - 2 September 2024
Hello everybody! Welcome to the 8th development update of Iconia Defenders! In today's post, I'm going to talk about one of the features we were working on in the past, they are already available in the game, but is good to talk in retrospective and how it changed over time. Player's hand Let's start with the "Player's hand". The player's hand is where the cards that you can play appears. At the left of the "Deck button". Originally, the player's hand was very stale. All the cards were blue, walls' shapes were hard to distinguish. And we didn't have a "Discard Pile". As you can see in the following picture: Before Animations were also very basic... We made many improvements on this feature, not only because it is one of the main components of the game, but also thanks to the feedbacks we received from the community. We added new artwork for the wall cards, so now you can distinguish the…

You can now see the superior gems chosen in the run! So you will not forget what you picked anymore! Previously, the extractor implosion effect was great, but it didn't feel right, because nothing happened after exploding, it…

Changelog Hello everybody! We've been hearing to your feedback and started to apply many things on the game, improving the overall experience while also adding new cool stuff!!

Now paths will update in real time while placing walls or towers. No more guessing where the enemies may go, yay!
