Today it’s time for a new content update for CyberTD!
The new update adds some quality of life features like a preview of the damage bonus (e.g. when getting a buff depending on the cards in the deck) as well as a monster tooltip to see their actual stats.
We also added a re-roll and ban functionality so you get a little more control over your deck. We hope it will help you reach higher waves more easily.
Also the automatic deck got a lot of improvements and rules, when some cards can drop. That’s probably mostly helpful for challenges as advanced players most certainly will anyway use custom decks. But for those who don’t or play challenges, these improvements will give you way better fitting cards now.
Together with the update we also launched the Cartridge DLC package you can now download for free!
Besides that there are plenty of other improvements and bugfixes to make CyberTD even better!
Full changelog
Enhancements:

improved dependant card preview in ingame deck
slightly improved cannon paralysis
reduced grind to level up
improved balancing of straight path layout
added dynamic info screen to show some additional info for some upgrades
added re-roll functionality
added ban functionality
slightly increased default range of Gatling
added monster tooltip showing health and speed
improved stats overlay on upgrade screen
allowed to zoom out further
Fixes:

fixed display issue in ingame deck menu on resolutions < 16:9
fixed some usernames not working with scoreboards
fixed Mac showing Windows button prompts for Ctrl and Alt
fixed shuffle card preview sometimes being displayed even though card not hovered anymore
fixed challenge score submitted after the deadline of the previous challenge counting for the next challenge already even though achieved with a different configuration
fixed maybe level unlocking not working properly in coop when other player quits too early
fixed Alpha Modulator resistance not being adjusted properly for new waves
fixed pressing continue with endless mode via controller opening info screen/deck
fixed some upgrades dropping with automatic deck even though the necessary ability isn’t equipped
fixed visible LOD on ultra settings
fixed mutators running async in multiplayer
fixed wrong deck count being displayed for player 2 in multiplayer clicking on deck panel in multiplayer as player 2 opens deck of player 1

After the big content update for CyberTD in December we have a new update for you. This time it’s just a patch to solve some bugs that got reported or we stumbled upon ourselves.
This includes one achievement (Endless jumps) not unlocking properly as the upgrade was a little broken and the Modulator achievement unlocking too early. There are also a few other things here and there. Most annoying for me was that one of the three new viruses sometimes didn’t get hit by projectile weapons (so laser and arc emitter worked, all others often didn’t).
Next step for us to experiment a little with some ideas we have for the next content update. It’s too early to announce it as we don’t know yet if it will work out and be fun. And we also don’t have a date for it yet as we’re currently also very busy with other stuff.
If you have any ideas or wishes you want to see in CyberTD, feel free to share them with us. We’re always looking forward to your feedback in order to improve our games. 🙂
Full changelog
Fixes:

fixed cannon jump damage reduction not working properly
fixed special cases when picking certain upgrades
fixed Modulator achievement also unlocking when defeating Alpha Modulator
fixed deck screen jumping to first page when picking last card on last page
fixed some button sometimes overlapping some text
fixed fast switching of scoreboard view while it’s loading still showing some of the prompts for it
fixed one virus almost never getting hit by projectile weapons
fixed rounding issues on info screen
fixed some units causing issues on spawn on Mac
fixed defense drone gatling not working at all
fixed rare issue with achievements

The second CyberTD content update is now live introducing five new level-ups with 20 new upgrades. These upgrades allow new strategies you can figure out and introduce the new quest and shuffle mechanics.

Shuffle cards add additional cards to your deck for the run. Some of them are extremely powerful, while others have no effect at all. But even the latter ones can be used to your advantage when combined with other upgrades.
Quest cards usually are a set of upgrades that on completion (after picking all related ones) will trigger some bonus effect.
On top of these new upgrades we also have a bunch of bugfixes and other improvements here and there. For example it’s possible now to open the deck screen showing the current deck, you can copy your deck now to a new slot if you want to have a base for a new one and we improved the wording on a few of the upgrades. We also added three new enemy variations created by our new intern Florian and a little christmas easter egg as well. 🎅
Full changelog
Enhancements:

score progress now is also displayed in coop mode
added new upgrades
added dpad horizontal navigation in weapon menu
added deck screen ingame to check remaining cards in deck
added tooltips for icons filter screen to find out which weapon, ability or status effect is referred to
improved wording on some upgrades
added three more enemy variations
added deck copy and clear option
Fixes:

fixed missile on tower not being visible in hub when missile launcher is preselected as weapon
fixed crosshair for controller not being visible when entering hub
fixed some frame rate dependent stuff
fixed Nanite Optimization and Nanite Repair not being stackable
fixed score preview sometimes being wrong when starting endless mode the first time for the biome/map/mode combination
fixed rare case where challenge result notification and cutscene could overlap
fixed EMP Bubble not being selectable in deck

The first CyberTD content update is live now featuring two new game modes and plenty other adjustments.
The big new feature of CyberTD 1.1.0 are the two new game modes:

After beating wave 100 you can now continue the game in endless mode and see how long your build will last.
And in strategy mode (which you can select in the hub right after the tutorial sequence) you have pre-defined waves and paths now, so the only random factor there are the cards. That will make planning a strategy how to beat the waves a lot easier as you know exactly when what spawns.
Besides that we added some quality of life features, improved some wording and enabled mutators also in multiplayer.
Full changelog
Enhancements:

added endless mode
added strategy mode
added support for mutators also in multiplayer
made pausing behavior when game is in background configurable
ViKing ability takes can be disabled now
improved wording on level-up screen
added option to disable card animations
added hint on level-up screen how the upgrades work and when to unlock the deckbuilding
added possibility for Alpha Modulators with resistance against burn and corrosion effects
added loading spinner to scoreboard indicating scores get loaded in background
Fixes:

fixed game not saving playing singleplayer with chat
fixed challenge win ratio always being displayed as 0
What’s going to happen next?
We will continue working on bug reports as they occur.
And of course we’ll work on the second content update which is scheduled for December and will introduce five new level-ups with 20 new upgrades allowing new strategies.
The new main mechanic for the upgrades will be a shuffle mechanic. That means some of the new upgrades will shuffle other cards in your deck during the run. These can be good cards and even permanent upgrades (for this run) and also some trash cards that just fill up your deck and reduce your drop chances for the upgrades you want. But even in that case they have a purpose because there are upgrades that make use of the trash cards.

CyberTD 1.0.2 fixes more bugs to make it an even smoother experience. Most of these issues were more of a cosmetic nature, so some stuff not getting displayed properly. We also slightly improved the speed you level up with, adjusted balancing of three cards and made the infection level visible also on the upgrade screen, so playing the virus zone biome is easier now.
Full changelog
Enhancements:

slightly sped up levelling
increased rarity of a few upgrades
added infection level also to upgrade screen
Fixes:

fixed wrong rank and score being displayed for current challenge in data center
fixed wrong rank and score being displayed in biome switcher
fixed wrong percentage being mentioned for virus buffs in challenges
fixed overload optimization with different buff level for both players breaking in multiplayer
fixed ViKing abilities not being usable in challenges via UI when abilities are disabled
fixed jump damage reduction of Cannon having inverted effect
fixed some rare bugs
First update with new game modes
Then we'll start work on the first content update, which is due in mid of November and will introduce two new game modes for you to play:

Endless mode: Proceed after wave 100 and find out how long your build can survive. You won't be able to choose new upgrades and the viruses will continue getting stronger and bring a few new abilities with them.
Strategy mode: Instead of all normal waves being random, you get predefined waves like in classic tower defense games, so you always know when which virus with which ability will spawn and can plan ahead.

The launch week of CyberTD is almost over and we would like to thank you for your kind words, your feedback and your kindness in the few cases where major issues have arisen. Our small team of three is doing its best to answer your questions while starting the bug-fixing process and to extend the content of the game.
So that's what's planned for the next few days and weeks:
First patch incoming
We're currently working on the first patch for CyberTD to fix a few reported issues and tweak the balance a bit. It will be released as soon as possible.

Dear community,
It was such a blast with you at Gamescom! Many of you visited our small booth in the Indie area and it was overwhelming to see you all having a great time with CyberTD. Such a great experience that we want to repeat as soon as possible!
But after Gamescom is before launch. There are only three weeks left before you can start protecting cyberspace from mutated viruses once and for all. The release date for CyberTD is September 28th, so be sure to check out the extensive demo now and add the game to your wishlist.
Since our ViKing 2000 drone is getting more and more popular, we asked her to promote CyberTD herself. But it seems that we had really bad luck... Why? Check out in the new trailer for yourself:
Watch on YouTube
On September 28th you will get the answers to these highly important questions:

What's the story behind the drone's split personality? There's more to it than you might think...
Will the game contain viruses? (Spoiler: yes!)
How addictive can tower defense games be? 😉
Anything else you want to know about CyberTD? Let us know in the comments or join our Discord to have a chat with us!
As a small indie developer, we rely heavily on word of mouth. So if you like the game, please spread the word and add CyberTD to your wishlist. Thank you for your support. 🙏
Best regards,
Sebastian & the Clockwork Origins team
