The level tiles should now correctly display their tooltips.
New users will be able to select their language at startup now, instead of the game defaulting to Italian.
Manta Level now has the freeze tiles it was supposed to have instead of the fast ones.
Achieving wave 30 achievements will now be correctly awarded.
Navigating to a sub menu while on the options menu should no longer unpause the game.

Themes! The themes feature is now live. If you preferred the older color scheme you can now select it. There is a more menacing looking boss to go with it.
Halloween Theme Now Available! All of the enemies have dressed up for halloween.
5 New Halloween Themed Levels

Conical Crown
Candy R&B
Spooky
Itchy Ear
Carving Time
2 New Level Tiles

Slime Tile Activate this tile and it will consume a single enemy (even a boss!) and dissolve it over time. It will then grab another one. The more health the enemy has, the longer it will take to dissolve.
Candy Tile Pay to remove this tile from the board but then it spawns a candy enemy with 7,000 health per candy you have spawned. Defeat the enemy and it will give you 500 gold!
Updates

UI Adjustments for PC I have started putting in some size adjustments, more to come.
Tweaked Swarm Level Swarm Level now has two less flier tiles. It was the ones farthest outside that seemed to make the level less fun.
Added tiles to Puddle Stomp This level just wasn't as fun and was too straight forward. Added tiles to increase mazing.
Enemy Balance Changes

Health Adjustment Easy still doesn't feel quite easy enough. Also it definitely felt like there were two games under 30 and post 30. I made some adjustments to try and even that feeling out. Shouldn't effect gameplay too much except maybe on hard mode.

Updates

Added achievements menu back into the game with the new achievement art.
Added in game achievement alert. (Aside from the normal steam one.)
Added tooltip information for towers and upgrades.
Added an option to turn off the tooltips as well.
Adjusted some of the upgrade art that may have been confusing.
Upgrade and tower buttons are now grayed out when you don't have enough resources.
Added a couple of tiles to the rattlesnake level. It felt too hard to be the first level of the game.
Enemy Balance Changes

Butterfly enemy health is reduced. I did some tweaking to the health algorythm I use for the enemies with the new towers. Preliminary testing indicated the flying enemies would be fine, but they are not. I am reducing their health so they feel more normal again.
Easy Health Down, Normal Health Down, Hard Health up a bit. So I'm just tweaking it to try and make it feel more like the original version for normal and easy. Easy is meant for you to get to a high wave on most levels so post wave 30 health is going to drop almost 13%. Normal health post 30 is also down just slighly. I just want it to feel closer to the older version. I have been able to get to wave 42-43 on hard on most levels. Hard is meant for someone who REALLY knows to game to struggle to get to 35-37 so Health is bumped up 1-3% post 30. Under 30 it's up about 7%. It shouldn't make it unbeatable before 30, just more hectic.
Tower Balance Changes

Missile Tower Boss Damage Shifted In watching a lot of play testing newer players build the missile tower first and they build a lot of them without upgrading. Then the first boss gets right through. I swapped some of the boss damage from the upgrade option into the tower itself. Boss bonus damage from 0/25/50/75 to 15/35/55/75 While this is primarily targetted at new players it also has the benefit of making the range upgrade more enticing since the 1st and 2nd upgrades will see increased boss damage as well.
Thorn Tower Damage Increased This tower seems most useful for it's stun. While in general I am okay with that, it does seem like there are levels where you could just not use it at all and that's what I want to change. So I am increasing the damage a bit.

High Scores have NOT been cleared. Any score achieved on the previous standard or random modes will go towards your normal difficulty wave scores. Any score achieved on the previous traditional mode will go towards you easy difficulty wave scores.
Bug Fixes

Resolved many of the text alignment issues for those not playing in english, menus should be easier to read.
Resolved a bug that would require you to play and beat another level in order to get some achievements you have already earned.
Only kind of a bug because I knew about it and chose to leave it it but now I've decided that level scores will be based on the wave you beat not the wave you get to.
Fixed a bug where towers weren't always targetting the enemy farthest down the path and the cold (now poison dart) tower wasn't switching targets aftering added it's status effect.
Fixed a bug where the resource (now goldmine) tower was showing its cooldown always full even though it was correctly generating resources.

Updates

Replaced the Current Mode and Tower Select system with the new Upgrade and Difficulty system. When I originally decided to make a tower defense game there was a list of things I wanted to make sure were absolutely part of the game. This list was something like this.

The game must have mazing, too many new tower defense games create the path for you.
The game must have a lot of options (aka "viable builds") to avoid the player only building the best damage thing plus whatever stuns/slows are available.
The game's towers' damage should be based on how effectively they are placed in an optimal position.
Number 1 - Check. Unfortunately when it comes to number 2 and 3 the game comes up short. 2 more than 3.
The Problem
I watched a playthrough of someone who played the game for the first time and the first 20 minutes was them just reading the towers. The game was meant to be played based on position of towers. While number 3 was kind of accomplished in the sense that after playing for a while there is a flow to where things need to be placed and how you should maze the game really took some trial and error to actually get playing.
The other issue was that in terms of viable options every level you use roughly the same towers. Poison/Mortor as your primary single target damage depending on the range you need. Wave as your primary damage dealer for everything else. You cap the ends of rows with either thorns, shock or reaper and then you grab the resource tower and one of the buff towers. Line towers are very situationally good and even then its either blade or storm. It's not to say the game isn't fun, it just means picking towers isn't really fun when you just pick the same ones.
The Solution: Tower Options --become--> Upgrade Options
I have reduced the 20 towers into 7 core towers. I then took the towers that were elimated and pulled the more fun aspects of them and made them upgrade options for those 7. In theory you have close to the same number of options but you no longer have to wade through a pool of towers and instead you get to make active choices based on the range and effect needs of a given level. This should both highlight the need for good position but also make different levels have different upgrade paths to find. For example a missile tower placed close to a curve/turn around point for the enemies will likely focus on boss damage where as one that is farther away could focus on upgrading range.
While you are now definitely using the same towers each level, you should be upgrading them in different ways on each level. This should create the feel of the original goal I had which was to create multiple viable builds.
Difficulty and Modes
Having only 7 towers eliminates the random mode unfortunately. From here the only different between standard and traditional was the ability to sell towers. After alot of testing different methods I decided that you can sell towers but you can only do it in between waves while no enemies are on the board.
Once I was down to one mode again I knew I was going to have an issue with play time. In early access it was very clear some players enjoyed going for wave 100+ while others prefer a quicker, shorter, harder experience. The simple solution here is to add difficulty levels to the new single mode. The wave goal for normal remains 30 and the game has been balanced around that. But those looking to hit really high waves can play on easy. Others that want a quick game can play on hard.
Enemy Balance Changes

Boss now takes 5 points off Old version or new version the bosses didn't feel scary. Getting to 30 needed to mean more than just getting their while letting 3-4 bosses through. So I increased how much they take off the end tile to 5.
Double the Skull Waves I added in a skull wave to also make the bosses more rare so they feel more unique and special. In addition being pushed back a wave means they will have more health. The new missile tower should do the job though.
Rebalance The whole game has been rebalanced so expect to have to learn the new flow of enemies and what towers to build.
Tower Balance Changes
All towers have their damage upgraded with their level and cost. So regardless of the upgrade option you chose their damage will go up. The point of this is so that you pick abilites based on position and what the ability does instead of just counting out dps.

Missile Tower The old missile tower was meant as a way to maze early and get damage late. The new missile tower just wants to kill bosses. Ideal placement is where it can get extra hits on the boss. Upgrade options are range to make it more like the old mortor tower or boss damage which really makes it feel more like the old poison tower.
Poison Dart Tower This combines the concepts of the cold tower and the damage tower. It applies a slow effect and is low cost and then in place of buffing the damage of surrounding towers it lowers the enemies defense so the towers deal more damage to it. Ideally you get at least two of these and have them specialize it slow or weaken. But you may end up needing more slows for some levels.
Blade Tower The blade tower has the old storm towers drain ability where it would deal more damage if the enemy has higher health. However it can be upgraded for range in situations where there are long paths and it can hit a lot of enemies.
Thorns Tower The thorns tower absorbs the shock tower so now it both applies a damage over time and temporarily stuns enemies.
Storm Tower This was the old wave tower. It's the only tower on the list that just upgrades damage. It's meant as the primary damage dealer tower, you will build a lot of these.
Reaper Tower The reaper tower absorbs the old strike tower in a sence. It has it's own old ability of cleave ability where it was deal increased damage based on missing health but now it also has an execute ability that will automatically kill an enemy under 1%/2%/3% health, which gives it the feel of the strike tower.
Goldmine Tower This is a clone of the resource tower with a slight nerf so that it costs a little more per goldmine you build.
As always thank you for playing my game!

Hello! I would first like to thank everyone who has purchased the game. I truly appreciate your patronage.
The main purpose of this post is to just communicate to everyone that just because I have officially launched the game doesn't mean I am done with it. My plan for the game is split into two phases.
Phase One - Patches and Features
Despite the fact that I am happy with the current state of the game that doesn't mean there isn't more that can be added. Here is a short list of things I am looking into. I know the golden rule in game development is never mention things you might not be able to deliver on but that's just not the type of person I am. I prefer to keep people informed. So here is a list of all things I am at least considering even if I don't figure out how to add them.

Tutorial Levels
Leaderboards
Graphical Updates
Adding more songs to the OST
Better and More Sound Effects
Mobile Version (This will likely cost additional money)
Cloud Saves (and cloud saves between PC and Mobile versions)
Additional Game Modes
Continued Balance Changes to Towers
Versus Co-Op???? (this is currently outside my skill set but I've been messing around with network code, you never know)
Phase Two - DLC
Along with the continued improvement of the game I plan on launching DLC for the game, development for this hasn't even started because I am still focusing on making the game better but down the road here are some things you can look for.

More Levels
More Towers
A story mode that explains what Project Myriad is.
Possibly an upgrade system that allows tower customization.
That's it for now, I just wanted to keep everyone informed.
Thank you again!
-Tom

Traditional Game Mode This mode gives you access to all 20 towers at once and allows you to sell towers. This mode will not unlock achievements, but there aren't any implemented at this time anyway.
Wave Goals You will now be rewarded with bronze/silver/gold emblems for achieving waves 10/20/30 on each level. The first time that you achieve wave 30 on a level you will be given the option to go to the next level or resume that level. Something I really enjoy in a tower defense game is having every level be endless so I can go for a best score. I know a lot of people don't so this will give them the sense of accomplishment to move on to the next level. There will be achievements for getting wave 30 on each level once I put achievements in.
Enemy Balance Changes

Swarm Enemy - Health Decreased The swarm level is actually winnable but it's crazy hard. I want more people to be able to beat it.
Fast Enemy - Speed Decreased I made them just a hair too fast. The seconds between tiles is changing from 0.65 to 0.67 and their health will go up by 1.74% to compensate.
Boss - Health Decreased Boss health is down 2.72%. This takes a little more than 1000 health off of wave 28. The goal of the game is to hit wave 30 and I feel like many levels you hit wave 30 with 8/10 life left and it feels like you didn't really win. I want you to be able to get to wave 30 with 10/10 life.
Tower Balance Changes

Line Tower Hit Boxes Increased Line towers are in a much better place but one of the ways they still struggle is hitting targets from afar. I increased the size of their hit boxes so they would more consistantly make contact with more enemies even if briefly.
Line Tower Damage Increased This will not be as substantial as last time and will not be reflected in the DPS tooltip. As stated previously DPS for non-target towers is based on hitting multiple targets. I am changing the targets required to meet that DPS number from 2 to 1.8.
Resource Tower The resource tower will now produce 1 coin every 5 seconds instead of every 3 seconds. This tower is currently too powerful. It alone seems to let me get 5-10 waves extra on every level despite the fact it does no damage. In additional each subsequent resource tower will now cost 5 extra resources to build. So the first one is still 10, the second one will cost 15, the third will cost 20 etc.
Mushroom Tower The mushrooms will no longer instantly disappear. Instead, after making contact with an enemy, 1 second later the mushrooms on that tile will be reduced by 1. The mushroom tower itself will continue to place mushrooms on the tile so we should end up with an effect where mushrooms are constantly being added and deleted. However the mushrooms should never stay at 5 so the cooldown has been increased to 1.75 to compensate for the speed tower buff.

Fixed a bug that was causing towers outside of the range of the damage boost and speed boost towers to still be boosted.
Adjusted the pathing algorythm for enemies. There were some levels where they were taking inefficient paths. It's still not 100% for example the pathing can be weird on Diamond Ring.

Updates

Restart button has been added to the right side of the menu overlay so you can restart without having to go back to the level select screen.
Game Speed button can now be used to increase speed to x3!
If you click the starting enemy tile to start the wave early, resource tiles will now generate resources for the time you skipped. This way building a resource tower doesn't force you to wait to spawn the wave on it's own.
Added error messages to explain why you can't build in certain places or if you don't have enough resources.
Hitting space during play will now pause without the menu overlay, hitting escape or clicking the menu button will still pause and bring up the menu overlay.
Selecting the resource tower will now show how many resources have been generated.
There are now icons and tooltips on the level select screen explaining what the special tiles do.
You should now be able to click off of a tower using either the left mouse button or the right mouse button, previously this was just the right mouse button.
Add a toggle to the menu overlay during a level that lets you show current enemy health as a number in addition to the bar.
Removed Clone Tower from the pool of towers for random mode. Random Mode is random enough.
When you upgrade a tower that tower will now stay selected so that you can upgrade it multiple times without having to click it again. It's range however will still disappear.
Enemy Balance Changes

Enemy Health Increased The health of all enemies is being increased accross the board. I like the feeling that you have to build almost every wave or get behind so the health of enemies in earlier waves is getting buffed by a higher percentage than later on. Reaching wave 30 is going to be the goal of the game, so I want reaching wave 40 to be difficult except on certain maps that are built to assist you. I will keep tuning enemy health until this is true. Also Boss/Star health is about where I want it so those waves, especially later on, will be getting less of an increase if any at all.
Speed Wave enemies have had their speed increased by about 7% and their health reduced to compensate. They just don't feel fast enough.
Minus Tile damage has been reduced. It's meant as a helper, but right now it does so much damage it basically plays for you.
Tower Balance Changes

Missile Tower

Range decreased to 2.45 from 3
Cooldown increased from 1 to 1.1
Cost changed from 30 / 70 / 110 / 150 to 20 / 70 / 120 / 170
DPS changed from 7.3 / 24.4 / 51.3 / 88 to 6 / 26.9 / 62.9 / 113.7
The goal here is to push each tower more towards their unique role. The missile tower is meant for early mazing, which should be easier with a lower initial cost. Then it has a high upgrade cost so that it stays relevant in the late game, unlike some other towers. Reducing the range makes it so it can't reach over maze lanes, a role meant for other towers, and allows me to increase the damage output. Mazing towers should be more useful now that enemy life is increased.
Cold Tower

Range decreased to 3.75 from 4
Cooldown increased from 1.25 to 1.3
Cost changed from 10 / 45 / 80 / 115 to 10 / 30 / 50 / 70
DPS changed from 1.3 / 7.1 / 17.3 / 32.1 to 2 / 7.8 / 17.6 / 31.3
This tower used to have it's damage cut by 70% to compensate for the cold effect. Through testing this seems like overkill. By reducing the cost of the tower the algorythm I made to calculate damage will automatically reduce the damage. Spending a lot of money late game to get a small increase in DPS was never where this tower should have been anyway. The range is being adjusted to match the poison tower's change. The cooldown is being slightly adjusted to change how frequently the tower will hit the same target before switching.
Mortor Tower

Range decreased to 4.75 from 5
Cost changed from 90 / 130 / 170 / 210 to 90 / 120 / 150 / 180
DPS changed from 16.5 / 40.3 / 71.5 / 110 to 20.3 / 47.4 / 81.2 / 121.8
This tower's range was just out of control, however this tower's role supposed to be the go to tower for long range, so some of the other single target tower's range will be decreased to compensate. The DPS shown in game wasn't accurate so the change to DPS shown here is the actual change. Upgrade cost is being reduced because in general I am reducing all upgrade costs that were above 200.
Poison Tower

Range decreased to 3.75 from 4.5
Cost changed from 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 to 60 / 90 / 120 / 150
DPS changed from 2-24.4 / 5.1-61.1 / 9.2-110 / 14.3-171.1 to 2.3-23.5 / 5.9-58.7 / 10.6-105.6 / 16.4-164.3
The range decrease is to get this tower in line with the rest of the single target tower changes. To compensate this tower will now ramp to full damage in one less hit than normal. When I add a mechanic to a tower that has a down side I have been increasing damage on the upside to compensate. This towers damage alternations were x0.25-x3. The reason was that initially I thought this tower would be under powered. I am changing the modifier to be x0.2-x2 which is what most of the other towers get. The cost has been increased to try to keep the damage close to what it was. The damage shown in the game was calculated incorrectly. The damage shown above is the actual change.
Strike Tower

Cooldown decreased to 4.25 to 5
I feel like I nerfed this tower a little hard. Going to ease up on the cooldown to start. DPS won't change it will just deal less damage per hit.
Fireball Tower

Range decreased to 4.5 from 5
Cooldown increased from 1.5 to 2
The fireball tower was meant to be the default line damage tower. I kept the cost so low that the algorythm that calculates how much damage the tower should do just made this tower useless. I'm tweaking the tower a little and adding a effect to compesate for the low cost instead of just increasing the cost. This tower will now add a burn effect that will cause additional damage to the enemy including from additional shots from this tower. The downside is that it will increase the speed of the enemy slightly. This however can be useful near a plus tile for example where you don't want them to heal as much.
Storm Tower

Cost changed from 40 / 100 / 160 / 220 to 60 / 100 / 140 / 180
DPS changed from 2-19.6 / 6.8-68.4 / 14.7-146.7 / 25.4-254.2 to 2.9-29.3 / 7.8-78.2 / 14.7-146.7 / 23.5-234.7
Adjusted the cost for all towers that have an upgrade that costs above 200. Damage is adjusted because of the lower cost.
Shadow Tower

Range decreased to 4 from 5.5
DPS changed from 1.9-28.5 / 4.3-65.6 / 7.3-111.3 / 10.8-165.5 to 3.7-36.7 / 8.4-84.3 / 14.3-143 / 21.3-212.7
This tower was meant to be placed towards the end of a maze where many of the enemies would have already been defeated. The damage was too low to be effective. Reducing the range allows me to increase the damage and allows each individual shot to deal more damage.
Shock Tower

Cost changed from 40 / 95 / 150 / 205 to 40 / 35 / 30 / 25
DPS changed from 1.3 / 4.5 / 9.5 / 16.3 to 26.7 / 50 / 70 / 86.7
Similar to the cold tower there was a variable the greatly reduced the damage of this tower to make sure the stun wasn't over powered. Since all of the area towers feel very powerful then you end up just using this for the stun and never wanting to upgrade it. So I allowing the damage to come through and then reducing the cost so that the damage doesn't get out of control. I am also reducing the duration of the stun.
Mushroom Tower

Cost changed from 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 to 30 / 80 / 130 / 180
DPS changed from 2.4-11.8 / 7.1-35.5 / 14.2-71 / 23.7-118.3 to 2.8-14.2 / 10.4-52 / 22.7-113.5 / 39.7-198.7
Similar to the poison tower this tower had a customer scaling modifier. Only for this tower it scaled to 1 because I thought the burst damage from a wave tower doing all it's damage at once would be over powered. This tower still doesn't seem to have a spot on line-ups so the modifier now scales to x2 just like the other towers. I reduced the cost to have no upgrades at 200 resource.
Block Tower
The block tower can no be removed by clicking on it after it has finished it's cooldown.
Speed Boost Tower

Range decreased to 3.1 from 3.5
Range is being adjusted so that this tower will buff exactly three tiles deep in all directions.
Damage Boost Tower

Range decreased to 2.1 from 2.5
Cost decreased to 75 from 125
Range is being adjusted so that this tower will buff exactly two tiles deep in all directions. Cost is being adjusted because it can buff exactly half of the towers that a single speed tower can.

Bug Fixes

Line tower weapons were fading out at varying speeds and distances. Line tower weapons will not begin to fade at the edge of their range and disappear completely after traveling a short set distance past their range for all towers.
Fixed a bug that was causing the poison tower to deal almost 50% extra damage.
Fixed a bug where shadow and life tower weapons were dealing based on the number of enemies active when they were created and not when they made contact.

Enemy Balance Changes

Star Enemy Health reduced by 5% I’m trying to hit that sweet spot for boss health. Right now I feel like there are times you can go 8-10 waves only building or upgrading single target towers. The goal is to constantly by thinking about the next few waves and build accordingly, not just the star wave. I’ll start by knocking star health down a bit but if it doesn’t work I’ll keep tweaking it.
Bug Enemy Health increased by 5.85% I think where the current level progression is so to compensate for star health going down I am going to increase bug enemy health. This is the wave I feel like is the easiest right now so I’m trying to get it in line with the others as well.
Tower Balance Changes

Mushroom Tower Range Increased to 3.1, Damage Reduced This tower doesn’t seem to have a role in the current lineup. I am going to try it at a higher range. The damage was reduced to compensate for the greater range.
All Line Tower’s Effective Damage Increased Line towers are underwhelming at the moment so I am increasing their effective damage per second. You’ll notice on the tooltip that none of the DPS numbers have changed. That’s because line and area towers need to hit multiple targets to reach that DPS target. Right now it is 3. I’m changing it to 2 for line towers. This means that if the line tower hits 3 targets then that tower’s DPS will be greater than what the tooltip shows. This also helps increase their value versus star waves.
All Line Tower’s Weapon Speed Increased The line tower’s weapons were just moving too slow and it was impacting accuracy, especially on towers like the blade tower which relies on targets being farther away. Increasing speed will help with efficiency and usefulness of these towers. The damage they deal is calculated based on their speed so the fact that they have less contact with any given enemy will not decease the damage dealt. They will just deal that damage over a shorter period of time.

Random mode should now correctly assign you random towers if you have already played a level in standard mode.
Clicking the upgrade button without a tower selected will no longer crash the game.
Blade tower will now only fire at enemies within range 7 instead of anywhere on the board. The blades still travel off the screen as intended.
All target towers will now have the target hole correctly displayed in the center of their hexagon.
Updates
When returning to the level select screen the selected/previewed level will revert to the most recently played level of that session. When starting the game it will still revert to level 1 "Rattlesnake"

All high scores should be wiped clean after you update. I apologize for any inconvenience. While the game is in early access I will be clearing high scores for testing purposes.
Bug Fixes

Tool Tip should now correctly appear when you scroll over a tower during a level.
Grayish-Blue tower (now light blue and known as the Cold Tower) will now shoot the projectile it was supposed to and add the slow effect it was supposed to.
Fixed a bug where all towers were gaining additional damage as if they had been upgraded an additional time.
Fixed a bug that caused towers that damage enemies in a line to deal double the damage as intended.
Area tower attack area markers should no longer appear 10 pixels above the tile they are damaging units on.
Fixed a bug where damage and speed increase auras weren’t displaying properly. The damage and speed increases were working just the indicators weren’t appearing.
Fixed a bug where area towers weren’t doing the right amount of damage when setting the game speed higher.
Fixed a bug where the blue (now wave) tower was not spawning its weapon in all tiles within its range.
Fixed a bug where the star/boss wave was granting more resources than intended.
UI Changes

Added language support for Spanish, French, German, Italian.
Pause Button removed because the new menu toggle will pause the game. Pressing space will also activate the menu toggle.
Most of the UI was updated to get ready for achievements and other game modes being added.
When selecting a tower the upgrade option will now display on the right. In addition the UI will display how the current tower is performing.
Game Mode Changes

When picking towers I originally thought that having a skill tree style for picking would provide interesting choices. This didn’t really work as intended as some towers were hard to balance based on their position. Others required weak towers to be selected that you would then never build. I’ve changed it so that you can pick any towers now and towers are organized by type. This will allow me to balance towers individually so that they will have optimal levels and level placements to be used as I had hoped originally.
Added two more levels with the new “Minus Tile” that deal damage to units for you!
The Star Enemy will now cost you 2 end tile points instead of 1. Building single target towers is supposed to be a requirement. Right now you can ignore the star wave and still make it semi-far so I decided to make it more threatening.
General Tower Changes

The game was feeling too easy. In addition to fixing the increased damage bug many towers are being changed to more accurately fill the roll they are meant to. The goal here is that towers should have specific positions where they are optimal. Towers that can be placed all over the board will have their power level reduced either by range or damage or functionality. Details below, however it is not necessary to read through this, the in game tool tip reflects all the new changes and now displays effective damage per second.
Towers can now only be upgraded 3 times. The increased enemy health should make it so that you aren’t always just maxing out every tower and thus you will not need the last upgrade.
All line towers will now check for targets in 360 degrees. I limited it to hexagonal directions because I thought the game would look weird shooting through other towers because of the 3D effect I was going for. They were bugged and shot through towers anyway and it looked fine so I’m just going to keep it that way and let them shoot in 360 degrees for now.
All towers have been given names and visual updates. In the future I will try to put specific numbers for range and cooldown changes but for this patch it’s just the descriptions of what is changing. All information is available in game.
There are now 20 total towers instead of 18!
Specific Tower Changes
----- Single Target Towers -----

Missile Tower (Previously the Redish-Pink Tier 3 Single Target Tower) In an attempt to build a beginner set of towers that share a color hue this towers functionality is being changed to just a basic hit for damage. I reduced build cost for early mazing. Larger upgrade cost increases late game damage.
Cold Tower (Previously the Grayish-Blue Tier 2 Single Target Tower) This tower wasn’t previously working but should be now. Also I lowered the cost and damage and increased the length of the slow. This tower should be able slow at least 3 targets at once depending on positioning.
Mortar Tower (Previously the Brownish-Yellow Tier 3 Single Target Tower) Originally the point of this tower was to provide a weaker tower that would spike in damage as the game went on. This is much better done with the missile towers new design. So the design of this tower will reflect that of the original redish-pick tower, which was to do more damage at a greater distance. The point of that mechanic was to incentivize different styles of mazing. To really hit this idea home I will be giving this tower a minimum distance to hit something. Damage no longer scales will range but this tower will deal more damage than another equal cost tower would at the same range.
Poison Tower (Previously the Magenta Tier 1 Single Target Tower) This tower is mostly unchanged, I just tweaked it a little bit.
Strike Tower (Previously the Purple-ish Blue Tier 3 Single Target Tower) (New Color Scheme) So the idea was to have a high power melee tower. Because the cooldown was too low this backfired and the tower became the automatic best single target tower. I have increased the cooldown significantly and reduced the damage a bit. Its role should now be more towards the end of a maze to make sure you get that last hit on an enemy, as opposed to just melting every enemy it touches.
REMOVED Green Tier 1 Single Target Tower This tower did damage based on the number of surrounding enemies. This makes it so that as a single target tower it could be placed where an area tower would be. This was useful for decision making when the towers were aligned in a tier system. Without that system you will always just want an area tower.
REMOVED Dark Purple Tier 3 Single Target Tower Similar to the green tower, though not as intuitive, this tower was meant to take the place of a line tower in a less efficient way as part of the tier system. Its functionality is no longer needed.
----- Line Damage Towers -----

Fireball Tower (Previously the Red Tier 1 Line Damage Tower) Cost and upgrade cost are changing to allow you to build just a level 2 fireball tower for wave one if that is something you wish to do. It’s something a lot of other tower defense games offer so I wanted it to be an option.
Storm Tower (Previously the Apple-Green Tier 2 Line Damage Tower) (New Color Scheme) Tower’s functionality stays the same. I decided to shorten up the range and decrease the cool down.
Blade Tower (Previously the Cyan Tier 1 Line Damage Tower) (New Color Scheme) This tower just always felt like a weaker option than the Fireball(Red) tower. I increased the cost which will increase the damage output so that it can occupy a higher cost spot in someone’s group. In addition the weapon will now shoot across the whole screen. The damage for increased distance caps off at around 7 tiles to keep the damage ramp similar to the original tower.
NEW! Shadow Tower This tower deals increased damage for having fewer active enemies. This means it’s more useful towards the end of the maze and it helps those that are having difficulty killing the star/boss wave.
Life Tower (Previously the Dark/Forest-Green Tier 3 Line Damage Tower) The functionality of this tower will stay the same. I am adjusting range, cooldowns etc.
REMOVED Teal Turquoise Tier 3 Tower This tower was terrible and didn’t really have a purpose. I’m removing it to give room for other towers.
----- Area Damage Towers -----

Thorns Tower (Previously the Bright Pink Tier 2 Area Damage Tower) The damage over time effect was too fast and thus this tower could be placed almost anywhere. The goal is to make this more of a beginning of the map tower so the initial damage was removed and the damage over time effect will take longer to deal its damage. Reduced cost to 90 to make it pair with a 10 cost tower as an opener if possible on a map.
Wave Tower (Previously the Blue Tier 1 Area Damage Tower) This tower mainly got a graphical update. Also it wasn’t always spawning all of its damage markers so I fixed that. It should go 2 hexagons deep in all 60-degree incremental directions and 1.5 deep off the corners.
Shock Tower (Previously the Yellow Tier 1 Area Damage/Stun Tower) This towers functionality will stay the same though I am reducing the damage and increasing the cooldown a bit.
NEW! Reaper Tower This tower will deal increased damage the lower the health of the enemy is.
NEW! Mushroom Tower This tower places mushrooms on the path hexes around it. When enemies run through them they take damage. When no enemies are present for each cooldown the tower will add more mushrooms to that tile.
----- Support Towers -----

Resource Tower (Previously the Orange Tier 2 Support Tower) The goal of this tower was to create a way to maze that wouldn’t cause any changes in damage and give you the bonus of generating additional resources. To try to achieve this goal more accurately this tower now costs 10 and has no upgrades. Instead of generating additional resources based on a kill in the area it will instead automatically generate 1 resource every 3 seconds.
NEW! Block Tower This is a free tower non damaging tower that you can use for mazing. Since there isn’t, and won’t be, a selling mechanic in the game I wanted to provide a way for people to complete their mazes on levels that are particularly tricky or more open. The downside is once this tower is placed that hex will never deal damage.
Speed Boost Tower (Previously the Light Green Tier 2 Support Tower) (Color Scheme Change) Damage Boost Tower (Previously the Purple Tier 2 Support Tower) The goal of the speed tower and the damage tower were to create a high cost mazing towers that would give a bump in damage/speed to other towers. Since I am removing levels from support towers it opens up my ability to just make each of these towers cost a high amount to build and then you don’t have to worry about them from then on.
NEW! Clone Tower This tower will randomly selects a tower from your pool and clones it. Damage is adjusted for the lower cost of this tower but the functionality remains the same.
