For the last two and a bit months our second playtest has been running and we got a lot of really valuable feedback again. So to everyone that participated, left feedback and filed bug reports we’d like to say a big thank you!
Once again there we have some great takeaways and things to work on. Here is a summary of things we are currently working on based on your feedback:
Rework of how enemy waves are put together and scale in difficulty in later rounds
General UX improvements such as being able to destroy unfinished settlements and flooded buildings
Reworking how rifts are closed so that the defences you built for multiple rounds don’t become useless once you close a rift
Refactoring of all of the UI logic for more stability and ease of use. This is more in the backend but your feedback also is also flowing into the look and usability
Every tower can now shoot flying enemies and we are implementing warnings that tell you when flyers approach next round
Rebalancing the fusion upgrades and some towers so that just upgrading the ballista tower no longer is a golden ticket to victory. We are also playing around with limiting one damage type per tower so that a diverse arsenal becomes more viable
There are also a few more new things we are cooking up that will be in the next playtest but more about those at a later date! Also, a good friend and 2D illustrator has joined the team so here is just a small sketch sneak peek of what is to come:
We have also started doing some youtube shorts so if you want some more insights into the game feel free to check it out: View game page
Until then we’ll take down the current playtest. You will stay in the list of people that have access to the playtest and will get a notification when the new playtest has gone live. If you are reading this and didn’t get a chance to participate in the first and second playtest but would like to be part of the next one you can join on the main steam page right below the screenshots.
And that is already all. Thank you again and we look forward to the next one!
