Description

BETA v1.7 was the eighth update to be released on Tower Defense Simulator, on the 2nd of August 2019. It added the (now removed) Sentry tower, multiple new enemies and various balance changes.

As with most updates before the Solar Eclipse Event, there was no official name for updates. As a result, the name BETA v1.7 has been retroactively applied to this update.

This version encompassed three updates, the main BETA v1.7.0 update (released 2 August 2019) and two minor updates, the BETA v1.7.0a update (released the same day as the BETA v1.7.0, 2 August 2019) and the BETA v1.7.1 (released 3 August 2019).

This version was also the first time that updates appeared on the devforum instead of solely the game description.
