Hi Everyone,
Work on the Survival Mode update is progressing smoothly and we wanted to take this occasion to update you on the situation. We've got all of the basic gameplay mechanics ready and are just finishing work on two final pieces that are required to kick off the public beta.
The first one is save data integrity. We are working on making sure that playing the beta won't erase your Story Campaign progress and that you will be able to carry over your progress. Survival mode is going to play out as a sort of separate campaign in which you unlock new missions as a reward for gaining medals on previous maps. The map that is going to be available in the public beta is probably going to be situated somewhere in the middle of the Survival Campaign. We want to make sure that you will be able to transition from the beta to the final release without any problems.
The second important task is coop support. We're testing it right now and we can already say that it plays really well. Because you have limited time for tower placement it becomes super useful for one person to work on maze design and the second one to fend off the attackers. Good cooperation really shines in this mode. We recorded some footage from a coop gameplay session which you can view under the link below:
