Hello everyone! We have some thrilling news to share today: Defend Earth: Xenos Survivors is officially partnering with Indie.io! This is a significant milestone for us, and it will allow us to put even more focus on making Defend Earth the best game it can be. As a small team of five developers, it’s been challenging to juggle all the responsibilities needed to bring our game to a wider audience. That's why we began searching for a publisher, and with Indie.io, we've found a partner that truly sees eye-to-eye with us. They have an impressive history of helping indie games grow, and you can check out their other projects on their Publisher Page. For those unfamiliar, working with a publisher like Indie.io allows indie devs like us to concentrate on development, while they handle important aspects behind the scenes. From managing store pages to designing marketing campaigns and even showcasing games at digital and live events, publishers provide critical support in areas where indie teams often need assistance. We’re incredibly excited about this new chapter in our game’s journey and everything that lies ahead. That’s all for now!

Greetings, Agents! In the last few months, we have been hard at work implementing a crucial new feature for the game the "Critical Tasks", as well as many bug fixes and optimizations.
