The latest update is live which includes the next Assignment and other improvements. See details below.
Next on the agenda is Global Leader boards, which should be live in the next update, along with other improvements.
Features
- 8th Assignment added. Protect dropships while they rescue civilians from a city that's about to be overrun by enemy bots. Beware the Cloaker which shrouds other bots from your tower's targeting protocols.
Updates
- Scores system has been updated. Points use to only be added to the score for destroying enemies. Now points are being added for completing relevant things in an assignment too. They're assignment specific and may not be relevant for all. For example the 1st assignment has none as its a straight introduction to the way Tower Defence works in Starlight: Defence Command. Some scores are also deducted for things going wrong in an assignment - again not relevant to every mission. There's one global deduction added though, which is that you lose 20 points each time an enemy bot hits your QRS.
- Edited some of the briefings to convey their information better.
- Simple shading has been added to the tile set layers in all levels to give the map a bit more of a 3D feel. It's subtle but makes the maps look less flat.
Fixes
- Issue fixed with adjusting the Starting Credits that would then crash the simulator.
- Fixed an issue with the display of Starting Health and Max Health not updating correctly when adjusting their values in the Simulator.
- Enemy abilities were not triggering properly. You may find assignments that involved the Booster, Shielder and Cloaker more difficult now that they are working correctly.
