- Lock and load - 18 April 2023
Hey again! We've finally managed to release a new version of the Steam Demo! There's been quite a few changes since the previous version: Weapons now have ammunition and reloading, meaning players must conserve their bullets to be prepared for the boss fights. Ammunition drops from enemies. Weapon feel has been improved, especially the shotgun should feel a whole lot better now! We've added a separate aim sensitivity slider for weapon aiming, which should make aiming with the sniper a bit more forgivable. Enemies drop a lot more resources, reducing the "grind" of running around mining them. Towers are split into two damage categories, physical and magical: - Physical damage towers, which are weak vs shielded enemies, but strong vs unshielded. - Magical damage towers, which are weak vs unshielded enemies, but strong vs shielded. In addition there is a third tower category of type "Totems…
- New worlds - 10 March 2023
Hey folks! We're still hard at work on the game and making some good progress. Our focus lately has been the level design of the remaining worlds and tweaking the towers and enemies to enhance the game's tactical elements. We now have the basic level design in place for Alvheim, Asgard and Nifelheim. We're also well on the way with Muspelheim and Helheim. Tower Updates We're doing a bit of reconfiguring of the Towers, mainly making sure that each tower has a proper place in the tactical gameplay. We've now split the main towers into two categories: physical damage and arcane damage. We're doing intensive testing and will provide more information on this soon! We've added "support" Totems that can apply effects to enemies and players within range (for instance apply slow debuff, reduce damage resistance etc...). Enemies will then have various abilities and attacks that can be countered u…
- Under Construction - 14 February 2023
Hey again! Last week we did two streams on Steam Next Fest and we had a lot of fun showing off the game! We got a lot of useful feedback from people testing the Demo :D This week our primary focus is finishing the basic technical elements of each world (paths, tower positions, spawn points, hazards etc...). We're also considering the feedback and planning future updates. These are some of the main mechanics we'll deal with: Improving enemy behaviour Improving tower structure to enchance the tactical gameplay Adding more positions to place towers Making resource gathering more interesting Improving player weapon handling Adding special attacks/ultimate abilities Eliminating unnecessary complexity More updates will follow!
