Dear Lindwyrm Adventurers,

We identified an issue which was introduced with the last update (see details below) & we took the chance to correct a smaller problem with the steam achievements.

Thank you,

Achievements (Steam)

• Bug Fix: The achievement for dying 100x stopped counting after 10 death.
  
• New: Newly unlocked Steam Achievements will notify you immediately instead of after leaving the current map.

Christmas is just around the corner and what better way to pass the time until presents arrive than with a round of Lindwyrm? Or two or three rounds? We also have something new: the brand-new “Insidious Nature” setting. New environment, new monsters, new features!

[h3]New Feature Town Defence[/h3]

The first attack has been averted, but there are still several monsters lurking underground. The villagers have built a protective barrier, but it is only a matter of time before the wood gives way and the monsters storm back into the village.

If this happens, you must defend the place, otherwise it will be razed to the ground again and any previous upgrades will be lost.

Repair the barrier as best you can so that it holds out for a long time.
Return from the Underground as soon as the barrier drops to 0 and defend the mine! If you fail, the monsters will storm into the village.

[h3]New Dungeon Setting: Insidious Nature[/h3]

• New monsters
  
• New boss
  
• New quests
  
• New arsenal
  

New adventures await you in the insidious nature. A colorful world covered in plants awaits you. But beware! Appearances can be deceptive and not everything is as lovely as it seems.
