• Haaidan’s Stream Defense Controller

    Many Stream Defense players have made controllers in the past, to allow players to play the game with a more traditional interface rather than typing in every command. However, this new controller by Haaidan is definitely one of the best I’ve seen. You can either download the controller via GitHub or Google Drive by clicking…

  • Arid Junction Rework

    I’ve made some changes to Arid Junction (Map 8) But Why? The attackable spawner towers on Arid Junction have proven to be more annoying than they’re worth. It’s confusing for new players, and can be frustrating when players have difficulty controlling whether they attack the tower or the enemies. So What Now? I’ve replaced the…

  • Difficulty Balance Update

    Games have been lasting longer than I intended. To address this, I’ve increased the rate at which the difficulty (and rewards) increases per round. I know this will be an unpopular change with some players, but it’s part of an ongoing effort to keep games to a reasonable length. tl;dr: Players should now earn rewards…

  • Regarding Harassment

    I recently posted a video regarding harassment which has since been the source of unnecessary controversy. I’d like to clarify my thoughts on harassment, trolling, afk’ing, intentional bad play, and unintentional bad play. These are all separate issues and should be handled as such. Bad Play When a player is making decisions in the game…

  • The Future of Stream Defense

    Recently, updates to Stream Defense have been few and far between. As I explained in this post, I’ve been too busy with work and family to dedicate any significant amount of time to the game. However, later this year I will have MUCH more free time, and one of my top priorities is to devote…

  • Small Patch (November 14)

    I’ve made some small changes that are a bit overdue: Shrooms and cloaking bounties now burrow 0.25 seconds after being hit (down from 1 second) Orcale now ticks continuously instead of only when the barracks is open Scout exploit has been fixed (hopefully) The Highpriest summon, XP Ooze, now gives 16 seconds worth of training…

  • New Target Priority System

    I’ve redesigned the targeting system to be more customizable. I’m fairly certain there are still bugs, please let me know if you find any. In the new system, you can choose 1 SORTING OPTION, and as many PRIORITIES as you’d like. The game will first filter out the enemies that don’t fit your PRIORITIES ,…

  • Small Post-Update Update

    I’ve added and tweaked a few things. As per usual, there are bugs and balance issues which still need to be worked out. Gem Changes Citrine no longer gives a movement speed buff Citrine now doubles the maximum power of your power bar Citrine’s flat power bonus is now 30% (up from 20%) Ruby no…
