Repeated intro

Hey everyone! As you might have noticed, we have changed the name from "Wretched Lead" to "Cannon Keep". As much as we've grown fond of the old name, we believe "Cannon Keep" is much more clear about what the game offers, as you literally build a keep with lots of cannons!

Better UI & quality of life

We redesigned most of the UI to make it more readable and fun to use. We are also refined the game's artstyle and updated many textures to give the whole experience a more coherent look.

New Underground & Relics

The underground has been reworked and now offers powerful relics that can be found beneath piles of scrap. Relics are run-altering items that increase the power of certain buildings and create new synergies altogether!
