Patchnotes v1.0 --- Out of EA --- New GameFeb 16, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsOut of EA Hey people, Defend Them is now out of EA and has achievements. One year of EA and 89 sold games (most for less than a dollar), it´s not really much, but it was my first game, so it would be okay and maybe the most didn´t bought it yet, because of EA. The patchnotes are not very long, I have only changed the level-loadscreen from "press tab" to "hold tab" (it´s more clear) and added steam achievements. There are also points now available, to show in screenshots and compare with friends, maybe I want add later the official steam-ladders support, but currently I have no idea, how and it was not my most important steam feature which was needed ^^ Say me what you think about this. New Game There is now also a new game available to wishlist, called Biomes: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1550150/Biomes_Survival_Era/ I have started it when I was disappointed with the sales of my first game. It is a survival with more realistic graphics, I were working on at the last 8 months. It want be a mix of 2 successful survivals, ARK (the dinosaur game) and 7 Days to Die (the zombie game). But the first version would only bring basic survival mechanics, maybe a little bit more, let´s see how much I can do in my spare time. There are more genres planned to mix, but currently I don´t want to announce them. It was always my dream to develop a survival game, I have started some years ago, another survival, but then I realized, that I had not enough experience with programming, so I canceled it and started later, Defend Them, after learning more stuff... I would love to see as many of you to wishlist it here and also join my discord server and subscribe my youtube channel. Have a nice day Thomas from Butter Fly GamesUpdate v0.85 - Winter SaleDec 27, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsWinter Sale The game was not selling so good as I hoped (15 copies in 10 months), so I have decided to bring it more to people by starting a 90% discount sale.
