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.

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!

Making an American Flag tower the powers up summoned units! Let's go healthy patriotism!

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.

Continuing on with updates to my spawners. Re-did a bunch of stuff to how enemies get stronger over time, how many spawn at once and how often! Much more flexibility than previously!

Today I finally got around to making my enemy spawners more dynamic. For the longest time it was just a lone spawned, sitting in the same static spot... but now multiple spawn in different locations on game load!

Nothing like implementing new only to find something old was bugged 🙃, fortunately for me it wasn't that bugged.

A subset of my grid cells didn't know their neighbors!

More UI mockups! This time for enemies, wanted to make sure they were swapping seamlessly between tower and unit stats!

Would totally different UI styles between towers and units be to confusing? Starting to conceptualize what I want these to look like

What are some things that are uniquely American? Big American Flags? Trailer Parks?

Put together a rough draft tower select UI, it includes the tower stats and also highlights the area that the tower can hit enemies in!

Asking my wife what to post and the best she can come up with is "What's up gamerzzz?"

Extended the collision highlighting to also incorporate other towers! #gamedev #indiedev #TowerDefense

Continuing on with some #UI improvements, created some simple highlighting effects and actually disable placing objects down that overlap each other!
