What about The Perfect Tower 2?
The Perfect Tower II will still be our highest priority and we're on a good way to releasing version 1 later this year!
The TPT1 remake will be a side project, and we want to be completely transparent with you. This is yet an additional reason for the streams. You'll be able to see how much time we spent on the game and how far we got. Please note that we have not set a release date for TPT1 on purpose.
It may be finished in two months or it could take more than a year to complete. The thrilling aspect is that we will embark on this adventure together and see where it takes us!
Additional Notes
As previously announced we're currently on a break during the month of July and therefor our responses might be a bit delayed. However, with the current spike in activity we didn't want to wait to tell you about these news!
FAQ?
In this next section we want to answer a few questions that you might have.
Please ask any additional questions you have either in the comments or on our Discord server and we'll be posting another update with a true FAQ in the next weeks.
What is The Perfect Tower 1?
The Perfect Tower is an idle strategy game that puts your tower defense and resource management skills to the test. As waves of enemies relentlessly approach, your task is to defend your tower by upgrading a variety of enhancements. Destroyed enemies yield resources that can be used to enhance town buildings, discover new technologies, and improve your tower. Although your progress within the tower testing segment resets upon the destruction of your tower, the town acts as a persistent hub where you can permanently enhance and upgrade your tower. These improvements empower you to tackle higher waves during subsequent tower testing sessions.
This prequel of TPT2 was originally published on Kongregate in 2016 and further developed together with our newly formed community.
You can still play it at kongregate.com/games/XmmmX99/the-perfect-tower.
What is the difference between TPT 1 and 2?
The Perfect Tower 2 plays after the events of the first game and even though both games share the same core ideas the sequel is much more complex and puts more focus on the town buildings. Therefore TPT1 is a very different experience. TPT2 features a better mix between idle and non-idle gameplay, a defined "end", a collection of mini-games and much more.
It was never our intention to replace one game with the other.
What is going to be part of the remake?
We have some ideas for adjustments, but the entire scope of changes and additions will be determined by the community. Our first live streams will be about revisiting The Perfect Tower and making a list of things you'd like us to fix. Then we might put some things up for vote and include you in our decision-making process.
The things that we already know we're going to change are:
- UI
- UX
- performance improvements
- bug fixes
Will The Perfect Tower be free?
Even though the majority of the people on the survey were willing to pay for the remake, we thought it would look weird if it actually comes with a price tag on Steam. So we decided that the game will be free to play with in-app purchases. We have no idea what you will actually be able to buy in the game at this time, but don't worry! We will not add any pay2win mechanics and the rest we're going to be figuring out on Stream.
Will I still be able to play the original?
Yes! It will definitely be up somewhere to play.
It is likely that we won't update the Kongregate version and keep it as it was.
Thank you for being a part of our community and for making the development of The Perfect Tower 1 & 2 possible!
