The Steam Summer Sale has begun!FEED THE QUEEN is 20% off for the next 14 days, until the 9th of July 2026.It's been exactly one month since release, and I am delighted to announce that FEED THE QUEEN has just reached 50,000 players!I want to express my gratitude to everyone who's purchased, played, streamed, reviewed, and shared the game. I never thought during the development of this project that it would end up reaching such a milestone. Watching you play and discuss FEED THE QUEEN has been an amazing experience and I am so so happy that the game has resonated with so many of you.So far since release, I have made different changes to address your feedback:multiple patches to address performance issues,improvements to the overall user experience and the addition of extra quality of life settings,tweaked certain mechanics to make the game more forgiving, in particular by making restarting a lot faster, and adjusting mid-way easier, in order to encourage experimentation,additional milestones in the late-game to give extra tools to players who want to try pushing for the highest possible food/min.I am still looking into changes to address the feedback of players getting "stuck" and feeling frustrated. I want to better communicate to the player that experimenting and learning the different mechanics, interactions, and synergies is a big part of the intended experience, and that there are always multiple viable paths to progress at every tier.Finally, I plan on supporting more languages in the future, as well as adding community items!Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your support!With love,Quiétude

🛠️ Patch Notes — Performance Stabilization & Additional Fixes Hello, this is the developer. This update is centered on performance stabilization. The spawn lag at the start of battle, and the stutter that built up the longer you played, are both greatly improved. If you have Re:Blade installed, the update downloads automatically — please restart the game. ⚡ Performance & Stability ▶ Battle-start spawn lag greatly improved Removed the hitch at the start of every battle where monsters all appeared at once. Now up to 300 monsters appear almost simultaneously and smoothly. ▶ Low-framerate movement stabilized Fixed the movement breaking up at low frame rates and the stutter that got worse the more monsters were on screen. ▶ Shader pre-compilation during loading Removed the brief freeze the moment monsters first appeared on the first entry into battle. ▶ Long-session memory leak removed Changed it to clear the internal cache at the end of battle. The stutter that built up the longer you played is gone. ▶ First-wave duplicate spawn bug fixed Fixed an issue where the first wave spawned double the monsters when its creation was slow. ⚔️ Additional Awakening Effect Fixes The main Awakening effect fixes and adjustments were covered in the previous announcement. Here we've only gathered the additional fixes that weren't included then. ▶ Death's Edge / Steady Will — duplicate trigger fixed Fixed an issue where the bonus damage against low-HP enemies was triggering twice per hit. It now triggers only once per hit. ▶ Effect residue on weapon swap fixed Fixed a bug where, after swapping weapons or resetting a run, the bonus damage and heavy-strike bonuses from some of the previous weapon's Awakenings (Blood Chase / Heavy Strike Prep, etc.) abnormally lingered on the new weapon and inflated damage. ▶ Crush damage-taken increase leak fixed Fixed a bug where a fresh, healthy monster spawning in the spot of a monster that died under Crush was incorrectly given Crush's increased damage-...

It's the best thing you can do to support the game if you're enjoying it!Thanks again for playing Desktop Defender, and I hope you enjoy playing the new upcoming content!- Conrad, Lead Developer

Hello friends! It's been a while, so surely it must be time for some gnorp news. This post will be about Epilogue, an upcoming (free) expansion to the game that will bring new mechanics, an (almost) entirely new set of talents, new buildings, and lots more! Where Are We At??There's been some ups and downs. A few months ago I decided to implement a new system for the expansion. That system was implemented in full, but in testing it was found lacking, which meant I had to re-engineer it. It was supposed to be the final piece of the puzzle but ended up as the final (fingers crossed) headache. The HeadacheI set out to solve the following problem: Decision making in Gnorp can sometimes feel a little bit front-loaded. You pick your talents, and set sail towards a certain future. At least certain in the sense that you know what you're about to do. A slammer-focused build means buying lots of slammers. I could provide another example, but I am trying to be less wordy in my writing, and in the age of LLMs the last thing I want is to subject you to wordy writing.So, in order to solve this problem of front-loaded-ness, I came with an unoriginal system I unoriginally call Augments: Randomly chosen modifiers that you could activate or re-roll, and I strapped it to another new system in Epilogue: Space Travel. Space TravelGnorps are exploring the possibility of space travel. Boosters are installed on stacks of housing, and off they go towards (not to) the stars. Why do they do this? \ and recycling. Treasures from the heavenThe cost of housing just keeps going up. In Epilogue, you'll be able to apply recycling as a solution to this problem. Here's how it works: Step 1: Send some unemployed gnorps on vacation It's a long vacation, sort of like when Frodo went to visit the elves in the Undying Lands. Step 2: Treasures from the heaven Through a process that is not well-understood by down-to-earth gnorps, objects that are particularly useful for constructing housing falls from the sk...

Founders Club payout now updates live Small fix from the forums (thanks, LostEnigma_): when you had the Founders Club menu open, the "Refound now for +N FP" payout sat frozen at whatever it was when you opened it, even as your earnings kept climbing in the background. Refounding always used the correct up-to-date value, so it was just a display quirk — but now the payout, the "next FP in $X" line, and the Refound button all tick up live while the menu is open, matching the banner. Keep the feedback coming — automation features are up next.
