Time of Defiance has been playable in one form or another since the first ever little test-game back in the Summer of 2001. With just medium warships, a coloniser and three buildings and a manually edited map with just four islands, the founding original three members of staff fought for an entire afternoon and forgot to get any work done. At this point, ToD was born.

We wish to thank each and every player of ToD over the years. Without your enthusiasm, we'd never have kept it up and running for so long. Likewise, without your feedback and comments, the game would never have developed to the refined state that it did. It has been an absolute pleasure battling with you all!

Hopefully you'll all move over to our new Picaroon game. Picaroon uses the latest Nice Technology engine and has all sorts of wonderful features for game-players of all types. If you sign up for the beta programme and mention your ToD history in the sign-up form then we'll do our level best to get you up and running as soon as we possibly can.

The Shadoo, Cog and Eighth House wish you a happy games-playing future!
