You've waited long enough. The Defender's Quest DX update is out RIGHT NOW!
Your game should automatically update. You will have the choice of playing the new version ("Deluxe" or "DX" edition), or the old version ("Legacy" edition).
- Your old saves will be detected so you can import them to the DX version
- You can manually export legacy saves and import into DX (Do not try the reverse, it'll probably break)

Final notes:
Translations
All of the original translations from the legacy version have been ported over. Since we added a lot more text, these are now "incomplete" -- but they have as much content as they did in the original. There will undoubtedly be some missing text, which will simply appear in English. The vast majority of this new text is in the journal content, however, so the regular game should be quite complete, especially in terms of interface text.
We will seek to patch/improve these in the next month or so. There are also likely lots of text overflows and other visual glitches, which we seek to correct whenever we find them, but the game should be basically playable start to finish.
Bugs
There will be bugs. If you find them, please report them here:
