Hey, we’re el3v8or and teensiestcoco14. We’re brother’s and we’ve both been making things for a while but this is our first project together.

It's funny how you start working on something and realize you totally glossed over another feature or function that's needed to make it even work 😬

I think I have the architecture worked out for abilities, implementation is gonna be a doozy! Will get a clip up of the most recently implemented UI bit soon!

Implemented some UI for my hero/builder units. Finally making some use of the blackboard in my office to plan out some of the architecture for how I'll implement abilities!

Had some time to work on the upgrade system a bit more and expanded it to multiple options, with checks in place to ensure the same thing isn't picked twice. Plus with how I created the upgrades they should be pretty easy to iterate!

Been working on a implementing my baseline for tower upgrades! Here's the first pass with a single randomized option. In the background there are defined upgrades set for each tower!

Looking back at 2025 I've made lots of great progress, a grid base movement system, new towers, tons of baseline objects,3d modeling practice, many spreadsheets behind the scenes, and continued daily effort! Here's to more great work in 2026!

Desperately needed to do some cable management, my desk was getting out of control

Been quiet the last few days but have been working hard on an upgrade system for my towers! I have the mechanics down right now just gotta tie it to a UI!

No game dev got done today, gotta wrap presents!

Trying to balance frequent but small dev posts and posting larger updates but less frequently, what do people find works best?

Always more to do and never enough time!

Do people still gift their mail person cash around the holidays? Is that just an American thing or does it happen elsewhere?

There's always so much more to learn in gamedev! Cool to see so many different disciplines intersecting. What new skills have folks learned that you would have never expected to enjoy?

Have recently made a townhall model as the tower that if it falls you would lose. Finally starting to implement some models, animations and such to get it to be able to defend itself to some extent!.

What tools do you use for progression planning l? Working on a chart of power progression and finding Sheets fall short!

Love seeing The Game Awards stacked with indie titles!

Finding fun challenges in designing towers that are similar in real world structure but have different vibes.

Like townhouses vs row home or motels vs hotels vs resorts!

Fresh off the shutdown I'm thinking of adding them as a game mechanic 🤔

So if you can use defense and defence interchangeably, where are all the TowerDefence games at?

Good to end the week finalizing my spawner changes! Time to work on a balance pass of my towers and enemies and play around a bit.
