__TOC__
==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.
