Sir, We Have an Orc Problem news & patch notes

• Added new upgrades: "Headhunter", "Damage Statistics" and "Power Shot"

• Reworked battle result screen with more details

• Added amount of enemies to level selection and also added a few icons there

• Orc move speed is now increasing per level

• Added icons for most upgrades

• Upgrade tooltips now show total values

• Increased base fire duration and tick rate of flamethrower so that orcs get at least 1 time fire damage even from an non-upgraded flamethrower

• Decreased fire tick damage to balance the flamethrowers

• Fixed that multiple strafing runs could be called at the same time via the pause menu

• Added stat panels for abilities

• Moved explosion simulation and rendering to GPU which should improve performance

• Improved performance of big explosions

• Fixed orcs and shadows having an offset when resizing the window

• Various smaller fixes and performance improvements

We are so proud and happy to announce that we reached over 50,000 wishlists! And all of that in just a few weeks since we released the Steam page. This is truly amazing and we can't still believe what's happening here.

This gives us so much energy to continue working on the game and make it the best version possible for you!

Cheers,

Laurin & Stephan

• Nuke ready sound is only played when the "Nuke" ability is already unlocked

• Improved level visuals a bit (especially level 5)

• Changed button texts on the battle end screen

• Surrendering a level won't give you the flat bonus resources from the upgrade "Bonus Resources" anymore. You need to actually finish (lose or survive) the level to get them. The scaling bonus resources from "Bonus Resources 2" are still added even when surrendering.

The playtest was crazy!

It was just a bit over a month ago that we released the playtest and we just wanted to get some feedback on our game. We hoped for a few hundreds, maybe a thousand players to get a good view on what is working and what needs improvement. Now we're sitting here and looking at 56,254 players and a peak of 827 concurrent players. This is simply incredible and beyond our wildest dreams.

We would like to thank you all for trying the playtest and giving us so, so much feedback. We tried our best to implement as much as possible and improve the game day by day.

We will close the playtest today - and release the Demo!

The demo is a more polished version of the playtest with some updated graphics and support for 13 languages:

• English

• Deutsch

• Español

• Français

• Polski

• Italiano

• Nederlands

• Português Brasileiro

• русский

• 简体中文

• 繁體中文

• 日本語

• 한국어

We're already working hard on the full game which will have more levels, towers and upgrades! And of course we will update the Demo with bugfixes and improvements.

After 1 day of closed testing we opened the Playtest to everyone and the reception was just overwhelming. We peaked at over 200 concurrent players which is really astonishing for a Playtest.

Right now we're collecting all your feedback (join the Discord) and working on the next update which should come very soon. This update will focus on bugfixes and quality of life improvements. Afterwards we want to revisit Level 4 + 5 and some upgrades to improve the difficulty scaling at the end of the current Playtest content.

We're so happy that you love the game we're building here and we can't wait to see your reactions to the new levels, towers and other mechanics we will be adding in the future.

Cheers, Laurin & Stephan
