Hey everyone!
As you might have noticed, we have changed the name from "Wretched Lead" to "Cannon Keep". As much as we've grown fond of the old name, we believe "Cannon Keep" is much more clear about what the game offers, as you literally build a keep with lots of cannons!
Alongside the name change we also took the time to update the screenshots and description, since the old ones were outdated at this point. The game looks quite a bit different in the new screenshots, and not without a reason:
What we've been working on
Ever since the steam page went live, we put a lot of work into fleshing out the gameplay. Here's a brief summary of what we've done so far:
Lots of new buildings
We are steadily adding new buildings to the game to give you a wide range of possible builds. The most recent addition comes in the form of science buildings, which light up the battlefield with electric zaps.
Better UI & quality of life
We redesigned most of the UI to make it more readable and fun to use. We are also refined the game's artstyle and updated many textures to give the whole experience a more coherent look.
New Underground & Relics
The underground has been reworked and now offers powerful relics that can be found beneath piles of scrap. Relics are run-altering items that increase the power of certain buildings and create new synergies altogether!
Playtests
I've you'd like to see the newest changes yourself, you can sign up for the closed playtest on the steam page! We are opening a playtest session every couple of weeks, and the feedback has been super helpful so far! If you'd like to talk to us directly, join our discord!
Until next time,
Studio Brainflick
