- Seacurity Breach Release Date Announced - 13 September 2019
We are happy to announce September 20th as a release date for our own take on the tower defense genre, Seacurity Breach, today. This is our second game and it has been cooking in the oven (Early access) for a while now. And we think it’s almost ready! In Seacurity Breach, players will help defending the Solarimere archipelago against the vicious Aquators waves of various ocean based enemies. During the campaign, players will be able to follow the games main story trough 5 different chapters and progress through more challenging defensive scenarios. Unlock multiple towers and upgrades for them, thus giving players options to tailor their strategy in a way they like. One of the main feature in Seacurity Breach is verticality. In our game, you don’t just have one single plane on which all the action is happening. Enemies can jump, walk on walls and even react if you try to block their path…
- What sets us apart - 3 September 2019
Modern video games are extremely varied, unique and interesting, yet each genre has something that every plater expects and wants to see. Let’s take the most popular genre right now - Battle Royal. The core of the game is always the same, you drop down on a limited map, without any equipment. As a player, you have to scavenge and fight for better weapons, armour etc. while at the same time the map size is constantly shrinking. In that way, all Battle Royal games are the same, but if you said that to someone that loves that genre, you would look like a fool. Some goes to the Tower Defense genre. In a way, all you do is build defences to stop enemies from reaching their end goal. But if you look at games like Kingdom Rush and Orc’s Must Die, at first glance you might think that those games have nothing in common, which is completely false. One is more standardized with great 2D graphics a…

The game has been improved in every way we could imagine. Starting with new levels, more story, enemies and ending with a completely reworked upgrade system, boss encounters and improved UI for Level Editor.

- Nordic Games 2019 - 27 May 2019
Hey guys! We want to share something amazing. Last week Seacurity Breach was a part of Nordic Games 2019. It’s a video game conference that focuses more on the business side of the gaming industry. Nordic Games is about making new connections between studios, publishers, developers and everyone else that works in the industry. While those 3 days were tiring and in a way stressful, it was all worth it. We had a chance to meet great people, create new friendships and contacts that could help us make Seacurity Breach as great as it could be. And the general response about SB was amazing, people loved the look of the game, the added verticality to the levels and the level editor. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33543832%2F17ca8245980041da66242094d0f351505283230c.jpg This looks amazing!

- What will patch 0.6.0 bring? - 11 March 2019
Okay! Another update/blog and still no update 0.6.0? The thing is, game development is complicated :D But on a more serious note, we simply want to add a lot of changes, features to the game. And because we are awesome here is a look at all the upcoming changes. Some stuff might have been mentioned before but we think that having a decent overview is worth it. So let’s start with an image dump! More precisely, how all the different defense structures and traps will change when you upgrade them in-game. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33543832%2F4aab2c4343bb74145f6773d4ea2bfa88480b65f0.png Damage Aura (Sketch) https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33543832%2F4f25f0f745f70fbde54e445eeb384cf40b04ab72.png Slowing Aura (Sketch) https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33543832%2Facfc3f1957725ea372bc8d8c5c3aeb%25E2%2580%25A6
- Defense structure progression - 15 February 2019
Hello again! Well, what can we say besides that we are still working on that mysterious big update? Nothing really BUT we also know that keeping people/players informed is essential. Because of that, we want to show you something! As everyone who has played or is playing the game currently knows, you don't see any changes in defences when you upgrade them in-game. The stats are increasing, they are more powerful and you are destroying enemies so much more efficiently. Yet you don't see it being represented visually. Well, that will change! And you don’t have to just take our word for it! Here is a glimpse of what you will see and can expect with every defence in the game! Let's start with Balista https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33543832%2Fc4756a6d0791747d80e5d366d6c156d8698523e0.png Jumping in with Spring Trap next https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamco…

- Short update about the upcoming update! - 4 February 2019
Hey, defenders of Solarimere, So we stated that we are aiming to release the next update with the new Levels, enemies, story elements and other exciting stuff on last Friday. And as you can see, that didn't happen. It just wasn't ready. We needed to work a little bit more on balancing, bug fixing and other general improvements. But don't worry. It's still happening and we are aiming for this Friday. See you then!
- Upcoming Update - 25 January 2019
Hey! Time to give you an update on what we have been doing. In short, A LOT of exciting stuff. Currently (as in today) the plan is to release a BIG update for our game next week. The new update will include 5 new levels with a story, new enemy units, a new trap, balance changes and bugs! Wait, bugs? No no no, bugfixes. The new stuff! You have already seen the new slowing trap in the previous blog but for those who missed it here is the concept sketch that we love! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33543832%2F500f5f7da6dfc0b07e4b2539613a4999f56025b7.png Now that's a winner! Now let's talk about the new enemy units! The GIANT (name is work in the progress if you have a great idea feel free to write it in comments)! A slow behemoth of shark that can take a lot of punishment but also has the sweetest smile of them all. Just look at this glorious T-pose and his…
- Level Editor User Manual - 15 January 2019
Workshop Level We were messing around with our Level Editor, trying out different stuff (trying to break it). Created some levels that were decent but weren't a good fit for our main campaign. Not wanting to let it go to waste we put it on Steam Workshop. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1625394739 Guide And while we are talking about Level Editor a quick reminder. Currently, we don't have a tutorial implemented in the Level Editor but for those who want to create their own MASTERPIECES we hope this nifty guide can help you. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1575155747 P.S. The best user-created levels we will highlight here and on our social media ;)
- New Trap WIP - 12 January 2019
Time for a quick update! While we are working on several aspects to improve our game (balancing, new enemy unit, story etc) not everything would be an engaging read. Because of that, let’s tease you with a new tool in your arsenal! We always want to give players a chance to have meaningful choices when it comes to how they want to tackle our levels. Or to have the ability to develop their own playstyle using their favourite defence mechanisms. And thus far we were missing one of the Tower Defense game classics - slowing aura. We are happy to say, that it’s no longer the case. Well… we are working on adding it. First designs concept. Something simple to understand, a noxious mushroom that emits gasses that would slow Aquator units. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33543832%2Fe476d78453dad34f027f602b3f055b996426eb03.pngCute%21 But because we wanted for it to…
