New Changes!

Devlog 39

Things I added:

• I added a Machine gunner. It has a fast firerate and is very tanky. The thing about it is that you can’t buy it. You have to wait for it to spawn.

• I did a lot of balance changes on the turrets. I can’t list them all because there are too much.

• I also added a credits page in the menu.

Fixed the Project!

Devlog 38

I finished everything that I said I would do from the last devlog. Everything should be working better now!

Fixing the Project!!!!🔨🔨🔨

Devlog 37

After reading all of my feedback, I started on the improvements.

Things I added and Changed:

• The game is easier. Some people said the rounds are too hard, so I’ve decreased the amount of enemies. 🤖🤖🤖

• The sound effects for defenses, troops, and enemies are quiet. If it’s still not enough for you, you can go to the settings of the game. 🔉🔉🔉

• People said that I didn’t make a lot of devlogs. So starting from the next event, I will start tracking my progress better.🧾🧾🧾

Thank you for your support!😀😀😀

Balance Changes⬇️⬆️

New Defense Weapon!🛡️🤖

Devlog 26

Things I added:

Changelog

Minor changes:

• More balancing for the turrets and enemies.

New Enemy & Balance Changes🤖🤖

Devlog 22

Things Added in this update:

• Since the regular enemies don’t have any protection, they die really easily and drop like flies. Because of this, I decided to add an enemy that tanks the shots for the enemies.🛡️🛡️🛡️

• I made some balance changes to the turrets, enemies and troops. This took a lot of time because I had to test the game a lot.😢😢

• Made a bit of change in the tutorial.

Changelog

• New enemy, Balance changes

Big Update🥵🥵🥵💎🤔

Devlog 21

Things I added:

• I also added a tutorial, where it goes over the controls and game mechanisms.

This was a pretty time-consuming update.

Changelog

• Added Menu and Tutorial. Also fixed some bugs.

Mini Update🤏🤏

Devlog 19

Things I added:

• New Enemy: Robot Spawner! This enemy spawns a group of enemies every few seconds! (3 troops / 8 seconds) Only appears after 4 levels for balance.

• Instead of having all types of enemies in round 1, I made it so that you had to unlock them. For example, the cyber truck can be spawned after the first level. This system is good because it makes the game easier to understand(At least for me).

Changelog

• New round-enemy-spawn-system, spawner robot.

Gold Diggers 💰🤑💵🤯🤔

Devlog 18

Things I added in this update:

• Gold Diggers are here! (Not the gross kind) They are a good way to have passive income. They will give you money at the end of each match.💰💰💰

Big Juicy Update🔥🔥

Devlog 15

I might have forgot to add devlogs, but its okay I will just put everything here

Things I added:

• Added in Troop Control. When you need the troops to go to the desired spot, just press R to activate following mode and click on the spot you want them to go to.

A Thing I tried to add:

• I tried to add pathfinding into my enemies with my homemade A* model but it didn’t work. This took a really long time. But, I might reattempt it later because I got some clues on how to make it work.

Bug fixes:

• Made it so that the turrets won’t damage the enemies again.

Changelog

• Troop control, bug fixes.

Mini Update

Devlog 14

Things I added:

• When starting a match, a notification will pop up. It tells you the round number and where the enemies will come from.

Things for the next update:

Changelog

• Nofification and boundaries

Fresh Updates

Devlog 13

Feedback is very helpful in improving this game!💖

Troop and Enemy Update!

Devlog 11

Thing update is mainly for bug fixes and research.

Things I added:

• I implemented Troops with guns. They are kind of weak, but if there are multiple of them they are very powerful.

• Made some changes in the turret’s damage.

Things I will add in the future:

• Maybe add more types of troops.

• I will add a cybertruck tank for the enemy because why not.

More and More Art!

Devlog 10

New Stuff:

• Made new art for the Machine Turret. The tiles and weed came from my previous game, Farming Simluator.

• Weed now spawn at the start of the match. They don’t do anything, just for some decoration.
  That’s all for today.

Changelog

• Added weed, machine turret, and tile art.

More Art Updates!

Devlog 9

Things I added:

• I made more art for the gameobjects. HeavyTurret, the Robot Enemies, and the Troops all have their sprites.

• To indicate the turrets are reloading, they will now produce some smoke.

• Troops rotates the right way when facing an object.

• There is now a barrier that keeps everything in.

Mini Update:

Devlog 8

• Started on the art of the game. Right now, only the basic turret and army camp have their sprites. The soldier is probably going to be the next one getting artwork.
• I made the movement only left and right, because the up and down isn’t necessary and will just mess things up.

Minor fixes:

• Fixed a bug where the soldiers are co-existing in the same space.

Added a Gameloop!

Devlog 7

Things added in this update:

• Added in a gameloop! In each round, enemies will spawn. Between each rounds, there will be a time where you can prepare more defenses and press the button that will start another round.

• Made the troops and turrets circles so the troops can move around the turrets a lot easier.

Things fixed in this update:

• Turrets are actually dealt damage(Past updates basically made them invincible).

• Turrets don’t have unlimited range.

Changelog

• Gameloop and bug fixes

Ram Implementation!

Devlog 6

• There is now the ram! The enemies will get to the ram and make an attempt to steal it. Use your turrets and soldiers to stop them. I might make it so that there isn’t just one, but multiple. If you lose them all, you lose.

Minor changes:

• Buildings now have hitpoints so enemies can kill them.
• Enemies now can also target the rams.
• You can now press shift to move the camera faster.

Devlog 5

Army camps & Troops

• Added army camps! They will spawn troops every 4 seconds on your command. Later, these will be expensive because it will be too overpowered.
• Troops are here. Right now, there is only one class, which is the melee troops. They can only do close-ranged combat. If you have a lot of them, they will easily overpower hoards of enemies.
• Added a feature where if you right-click, you can have the option to “Destroy” the building.

Changelog

• Troops, and deletion button.

Improvements and more updates

Devlog 4

Things I added in this update:

• There is now a third kind of turret! Its the machineTurret. It fires low damage bullets with a really fast firing rate. This gun isn’t really accurate though.
• Test Enemies are here. All they will do is go after the turrets.

Things I want to do in the future:

• I want to want WebGL so people can test out this game and give feedback on how i should improve this.
• I also want to add soldiers and buildings that will help fight off the enemies.

Changelog

• Turrets, bullets and Enemies.

Another Mini update

Starting on the turrets and tile editing

What I did in this update:

• After making the object(Using the gamedata) that has the characteristic of a turret, I made a physical structure of it. You can now place down turrets on the tiles.
• Currently, I only made two kinds of turrets, which are basic and heavy. The heavy turret hits a lot harder but with a slower reload time(They will fire at enemies on the next update).
• When you press x, you can delete the thing on the tile you are hovering.

For the next update:

• I will be adding test enemies and bullets. Thats all of now.

Mini Update

Game Datas

• I added turret and Building data classes! Now it would be easier to create new buildings and defenses. All I have to do is just to create a new object with an image, very easy to change and add.
• You can now view the information and statistics of your deck. For example, I want to use a building or turret but I don’t know what it does. All I do is just to hover over the thing and it will give me the information.

Feel Free to give feedback!

First devlog!

The start of this game development!

Things I added: (Some may not be added yet)

• Added a bit of test tiles. I will see if they can store a child gameobject(which is gonna be the buildings). They are also for seeing if they can respond to the cursor.
• After the information box. If you right click on a tile, an UI box appears. They will tell you what the tile is currently holding and some other stats.

Feel free to give feedback! They help the project grow and improve
