Description

v1.6.3 is the forty-ninth update to be released on Tower Defense Simulator, on the 17th of February 2023. The initial release only contained a few bug fixes and skin changes, but weeks later multiple balance changes and upgrade description corrections were introduced.

Weirdly, there was no update log in the game at the update's initial release, though there was one posted in the official Tower Defense Simulator Discord server. An update log was made later when v1.6.4 update released, however, it was a changelog for the v1.6.3e version specifically.

This version encompassed eight updates, the main v1.6.3 update (released 17 February 2023) and seven minor updates, the v1.6.3a (released 18 February 2023), v1.6.3b (released 1 March 2023), v1.6.3c (released 9 March 2023), v1.6.3d (released 14 March 2023), v1.6.3e (released 21 March 2023), v1.6.3f (released 22 March 2023) and v1.6.3g (released 25 March 2023).
