As we worked again on Elemental War anyway due to some other ports we decided to also update the other versions and so we added Steam Deck support!
In general don’t expect huge jumps from this update. We slightly improved the graphics by adjusting post processing and raised texture quality.
Besides that are just a bunch of minor tweaks and some adjustments required for Steam Deck.

Today we release Elemental War 1.10.1 with a few bugs we noticed while working on Elemental War 2 and a critical issue with two achievements on Xbox and UWP.

Today we announce our next game: Elemental War 2!
Elemental War 2 takes you into a threatened world: hordes of monsters suddenly pour out of the abysses of hell from a faulty summoned portal. Will you manage to build a defense line of defense towers against the forces of evil in time?
Elemental War 2 offers you the popular tower defense feeling combined with innovative game mechanics: as soon as you defeat an elemental – a particularly strong enemy that will demand everything from you – you’ll receive its element stone, which you can use to build new defense towers. As you keep collecting elements, you’ll always have new levels and tower combinations at your disposal.
Only if you skillfully combine the different towers and make use of their advantages will you be able to stand up to the monster hordes. Through in-game side quests, you’ll also unlock items that further enhance the abilities of your towers or decisively weaken your opponents at just the right time!
Elemental War 2 offers you dozens of hours of gameplay to develop strategies, complete all the quests and discover all the secrets of the game world. The lovingly hand-built maps offer you varied games and always new challenges!
Features

The popular tower defense game principle with new gameplay elements
Face the powerful elementals and their special abilities
Solve quests to unlock upgrades for your towers
Play 15 varied maps in three unique environments: forest, ice and desert
Play alone or in co-op mode
Compare yourself with other players in the global leaderboards
Are you ready to face the elementals?

Elemental War 1.10.0 is now available on all platforms and brings the game to the same state as the upcoming PlayStation release next week.
Since the Elemental War 1.9.0 release in February we fixed a few small issues we now that we passed PlayStation certification want to release to all platforms.
The changelog contains a few things that only affect individual platforms and some that are relevant for all.
On all platforms we fixed the behavior of Windrunner, fixed two typos and improved the Shockwave effect. On consoles or using controller we improved saving maps in the editor and navigation in there. Only on Xbox (and that won’t work on PlayStation!) we also enabled the minimap now as it finally doesn’t crash anymore there (but sadly still does on PlayStation).
And for PC only we added the option to change the UI scaling. So if you think the UI is too big you can now reduce the size via the settings file. Here are the steps how to do that:

navigate to C:\\Users\\\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Clockwork Origins\\Elemental War
open settings.ini
in UI category enter Scale=, scale factor = 1 is like the default, < 1 makes UI smaller, > 1 makes UI bigger
Full changelog
Enhancements:

added support for tower shortcuts on consoles using keyboard
added UI scaling for PC version only via settings
Fixes:

improved shockwave effect
fixed Windrunner attacking wrong area after moving it
fixed minimap crash on Xbox and so reenabled minimap functionality there
fixed controller navigation in editor from right most column of map to name
fixed saving on maps that failed sometimes (especially on Xbox)
fixed tooltip scaling on resolutions greater than 16:9
fixed typos in two monster names
