Developer posts and news about this game.
Developer Comments: I've decided that I do want to balance the game around being able to flawlessly beat each map, but it will require some strategy and planning on the players part. Right now, it's kind of easy to beat maps flawlessly, so I will need to test and improve that mor
Developer Comments: I wasn't happy with how confusing the game can be to new players and more casual players. So I tried to make the informational popups give a more general description of what the new thing does, with the hopes of giving the player a fundamental understanding ra
Developer Comments: Sorry for the small update. It took me a lot longer than I wanted to fix the "not being able to unlock things" bug. The bug was a simple fix by itself, but adding the system that retroactively awards unlockables when updating versions was tough. Changelog: New
Hotfix: * unlocking new maps and other things now works properly * updating the game awards unlocks that should have been given
Developer Comments: This new gamemode allows players to see how far they can make it with their current power level. Based on how many waves are survived you are rewarded with permanent exp gain. I'm hoping this will encourage players to really try to optimize their strategies so
Developer Comments: I'm getting ready to make the changes to the gamemodes. So in the meantime, I hope you enjoy more early game balance/polish. I like the water tower much more now, it felt a bit underwhelming, but now with the extra slow it feels so much better. Changelog: Gene
Developer Comments: I really like the new skills system, it adds a ton more strategic depth. There are still very obvious skills to use for certain scenarios, I'm hoping to fix that after more playtesting. As it stands now the first 30 scenarios are very close to what I want them
Developer Comments: I think this new skills system will be much more interesting. There are now more skills to choose from and with the skills being linked, it means you will have to choose what skill you want. This will be a hard choice because many skills are extremely strong w
Developer Comments: This update comes with some changes to how the gamemodes work, they are now more distinct and separate. Vision quest is more focused on completing challenging scenarios, while Lucid Dream is focused on letting the player openly choose what kind of scenario the
Developer Comments: In the last update I made a few changes to the skills and how they work. After testing I realized that those changes didn't fix the problem. I didn't even realize what the problem was, I just knew in my gut that something was wrong. I realize now that the skil
Developer Comments: Skills felt too 1 dimensional. Sometimes you wouldn't have enough useful skills to put all your willpower into, so you would put the rest into extra starting lives which didn't actively help you win the scenario. Now that the damage skill is unlocked from the
Developer Comments: I'm trying to find a good balance between challenge and progress. I think that rewarding bonus experience gain from intensity is a good start. It should encourage players to try harder scenarios, without punishing them if they play easier scenarios. I wasn't q
Developer Comments: I was going to balance scenarios this week, but as I was testing the intensity calculation I found multiple towers that didn't feel like they were living up to their full potential, so I decided to add/rework a bunch of functionality there. I want towers to sy
Developer Comment Now players will actually be able to challenge themselves as soon as Lucid Dream is unlocked. There is still a lot more testing and tweaking that needs to be done to the intensity calculation. I want players to be able to push their limits, the intensity calcula
Developer Comment I am preparing for some major changes with how the Lucid Dream gamemode works. I want it to be a sort of "create your own challenges" mode. Currently it is very basic. These are a few of the changes I had in mind: Changes to how the scenario "intensity" is calcu
New features: * added a new wind tower skill (increases base attack speed) * added a "can be frozen" target priority to the frost tower Polish: * dropdown menus will now consume mouse scroll wheel input * reworded some tooltips * reworded the wind hit count skill * changed "most
New features: * added the ability to set the default target priority (unlocked after vision 3) * added a "refocus" button for when you lose, it restarts the scenario but with slightly reduced stats (this replaces auto difficulty) * refocusing will reduce the enemy stats by 5% eac
-Overview- The biggest change with this update is the tower target priority system. This system allows the player to customize how each target chooses what enemies to attack. The system is very robust, you can add as many priorities as you like, the tower will filter each enemy t
The first update brings many changes. Here is a rundown of the key differences. New features: * added a tutorial to the first map * added a visual effect to indicate how soon the next wave will be * added visual effects to indicate how many enemies have already spawned in a wave
