Hi everyone!
3 weeks ago I launched Desktop Defender's demo, and I cannot thank you all enough for how huge this has all been.
We went from 3 concurrent players to 1,548
Reached the top 3 most played demos on Steam
Got a special feature from Steam because of how much you all played the demo
Went from 200 wishlists, to almost 50,000
This community is incredible, and I can't wait to continue talking to you all and making the game the best it can be together! We have a super active Discord server too, where people are pushing waves, have set up a wiki, and even modded the game! Make sure to join it if you want to see the newest of what's up with Desktop Defender.
The game is coming out at 7PM GMT+1, which in other time zones is:
10AM PST
11AM MST
12PM CST
1PM EST
6PM GMT
8PM EET
9PM MSK
10PM GST
2AM CST
3AM JST
5AM AEDT
Furthermore, unfortunately the demo will be delisted a few hours before the game comes out, but the full game is so full that I think you will all enjoy it! Here are some key figures:
150 levels
97 loot items
21 weapons
18 loot slots
80 achievements
Infinite waves
New infinite upgrade progression
New rebirth system at level 150
I'm not entirely sure how long it will take to beat the game for the average player, but I estimate about 1,000 to 2,000 hours, with the option to play infinitely through rebirths and wave pushing so I hope you all enjoy it!
The game will cost $4.99 USD, have a 15% launch discount, as well as have generous regional pricing for countries where Steam's automatic pricing doesn't feel as fair.
Anyways, that's for this update, and thank you all so much for enjoying the game so far! This is just the beginning of a long road ahead for Desktop Defender, and I hope you all join along for the ride :)
