Energy Nodes
Hey, I want you to update with the recent progress! In the last two days, I tried different methods to implement an energy system for the turrets, which is currently shaping well, So the design is that you have an Energy Node which will provide X amount of turrets with energy. If

Hey I'm currently working heavily on the next big update, some points on my to-do list are already marked done, so progress looks good currently. Today I want to show you some progress, last time you saw already the tooltip and building range. Today I want to show you progress on the shield tower that will replace the repair tower.
Here you can see the shield tower protecting the utility turret,
All projectiles hitting the shield will get destroyed, the shield energy will shrink with each bullet cought.
When no energy left, the shield collapses then the tower needs to charge for X seconds (you can decrease the time with an upgrade) when charged fully the shield will be online again
Here is the upgrade menu for the Shield Tower
You can upgrade

Health
Shield health
Recharge time
Since players can build everywhere, It's sometimes hard to design a map that supports that play style
if a player will build on map borders it can be that the base will be on an enemy spawn spot which makes it impossible to grow since the enemies will instantly respawn again, in order to combat that, the respawn points are outside the playable area now, Changes to AI must be heavily tested since this is a very sensitive area, (They break a lot).
If the shield Tower is finished, I will move to creating a design for energy resource in the game, this will very likely to introduce a new tower.
Thank you everyone for playing the game and following the development,
See you in the community hub!

Hey everyone, I want to tell you that hopefully tonight there will be an update that implements teleportation. This is very important for people that get motion sickness, especially if the frame rate is not perfectly stable,
I also want to talk about future plans!
But first some notes to the teleportation
Like all settings, the teleportation can be set in the main menu or in game in the settings menu
The teleport option can be found under Additional settings
If the checkbox is set go back in the menu so it's saved and now if you move the left joystick to any corner you get a preview where your character will be teleported.
If you now let go (Center the joystick) you will be teleported!
Very important note!
If you press the left joystick down and hold it for two seconds, you will be teleported to a save spot
I implemented this because there will be moments where a player can teleport to a place where he can be stuck, so this will rescue the player.
Now to the future plans!
What was and is still important for me is that all players can enjoy the game, there was some feedback (Thank you for the awesome feedback btw) and I wanted to implement the fixes based on the feedback first, I think the game plays way better now.
What is still missing is the tutorial but that's something that will be added very late because the gameplay and some core elements are changing, so I would need to redo the tutorial every time I change something.
So what will be next?

The two maps Area51 and Near The Reactor needs to be finished
There will be weather
The repair tower will be replaced with a shield tower
There will be a new resource to manage
One new Map (You can drop some themes in the feature suggestion thread if you want)
The enemies will get an Apache Helicopter
That's it for the next update, what comes after that will be evaluated when the update is done.
Big thanks to all that try the game out and gives feedback.
