We are launching on Steam and everywhere else TOMORROW! W00t! Thanks for all your support!
We have a new feature in version 1.0.47 - Azra's Journal, which is an extra dose of story for New Game+ players. I will try to get this into all of the launch builds, but if it doesn't show up on day one, it will get patched in pretty quickly.
Also - I can confirm achievements work in the Steam version. They will work in the windows build on day one, and will come to the mac build about a week later, after I figure out how to bend XCode to my will.
Since you've all been so nice, I have a special treat for y'all. Here are 3 early-access STEAM keys for Defender's Quest!

The Steam version will be updated to version 1.0.47 later tonight, but it should be perfectly playable in its current state, just no achievements. I will mail out steam keys to all previous customers in a little bit as soon as I work out the technical details.
I'd have been all over it, but I already have the game, and don't really care if it's on Steam or not. It's such a fantastic game, though, that yeah, I'm surprised they are still available too.
Just want everyone to know I've started sending out Steam keys to previous customers. This will probably take at LEAST 20 hours to do as I have to send them in batches of no more than 500 keys / hour, and we have 10,000+ recipients total.

Keys are coming along pretty well, people are getting them already. However, some people on GMail are finding the keys in their Spam folder. Please check your spam folder periodically over the next 24 hours or so to see if that's where your email wound up. If you find it there, mark it as "NOT SPAM"
This is because GMail has an adaptive spam filter, and if enough people mark an email as "not spam," hopefully it will learn and fix it for everyone else.
Give it to a friend We don't mind - the way I figure, we need publicity now more than maximized sales, so introducing a new person to the game can only help.
Also, somehow I didn't get the achievement for having all the standard unique armors, despite having beaten all of the levels with 3 stars. It says I have 14/17. Are there even 17?

@gjaustin:
There should be.... can you list them for me so I can check them against my list in the data? I could very well have made a mistake somewhere.
Fixed the problem with the armor achievement. Still got a list of small bugs to fix, but I'm steadily cranking through them. Thanks for all the support!
Is there a keyboard shortcut to boost the currently selected unit? I didn't see anywhere that there was one, but it would be really handy.

Now that the big launch is over, I'm going to spend my Fridays working on side projects and stuff. Here's this week's, if anyone's interested.
Basically, I have Tourette's Syndrome and this is a game about that.
I used one of the keys from the OP way back, but just finally got around to playing it after it got added to Steam. I devoured this game. Loved the pacing of going back to old levels on harder difficulties to gear up for new levels. The only snag I ran into was when I accidentally set one of the final levels to hard, and then wondered why it repeatedly kicked my ass.
I will release full, detailed numbers eventually, but I'll say this for now - as of a few days ago, we had made more on the few weeks we'd been on Steam+Gog+et al, than we had since we first went on sale in January. So doubled our overall sales revenue.
We couldn't have done it without folks like yourselves. Steam definitely brings in a lot of sales, but getting there is the tricky part, and you lot were a big part of that.
Quick update for anyone who's on the fence about this game: we're the daily deal today on Steam! Now's your chance to get it for just $5! http://store.steampowered.com/app/218410
Sure I find out you are the daily deal two days to late Doesn't matter solid effort will be checking it out on Steam. Love the story written by actual English Major in the trailer. Great idea to combine these two core game concepts. Indie 4 life!
50% off individually, 75% off if you get everything in their "Defend and Conquer" bundle. Or you could wait for the Steam Winter sale, I assume that's probably coming soon?
What's going on? Indie Solidarity is what's going on! For those of you who might have wanted something closer to FF Tactics you should check out my friend Craig Stern's project, Telepath Tactics.
Basically, he has a cool Strategy RPG that NEEDS to happen. I don't have tons of my own money to give(though I did pledge), but I CAN summon free copies of Defender's Quest at will.
I already gave him 200 free copies to give away to backers, but I understand maybe not everyone can afford to pledge more than a few bucks.
So here's the deal. I'll give you a $15 value (I guess $8-$5 value right now during sales :P) for free, right now, and in exchange I'll ask you pretty please to give at least that much value to Craig in a kickstarter pledge. Even Stevens!
Redeem these codes at http://www.defendersquest.com/buy.html, click "add to cart" then enter the code, update coupon. You won't have to enter payment info but it might ask for your billing address, but I think you can just put in anything that looks vaguely like an address if you don't want to share that.
This gets you Mac/Win/Linux copies of the game, DRM Free, the soundtrack, and a Steam Key.
Please reply with what code you used so I can mark it off the list, and also be nice and don't take more than one
I was gifted this during the steam sale, along with a slew of other games. I haven't been able to put this one down for longer than an hour since I got it. Over XCom, BL2 DLC and a number of others.
Nice work. I love the fact that I can get going on the story then go back when I feel strong enough to go on the bigger difficulty levels. It adds so much for me.

I plan on purchasing the game and gifting it to someone, though. Thanks!

I already have the game on Steam though from the early access for testing.
I'm torn. I don't want that key to go to waste, but at the same time I want you good folks to make monies for your awesome game.

Mine made its way to my Inbox on Yahoo, for what it's worth. Thanks for the effort of getting us all Steam keys, Lars.

Rest assured there's more Defender's Quest to come, I just need one day a week to do something else so my brain doesn't melt 0_0

Your odds are...not good. But hey free games!
I love that I can go back and re-do old levels with higher level enemies for more loot and even unique items. Sort of a perfect amount of grindiness.
