Creating complex mazes is a core element of Portal Sentinels. As a cheap alternative to placing towers, you can place walls!
You can also replace them with a tower later on.

Thanks #animasia and #indiegamefactory it was a blast. Never watched so many people play my game live at once before.
Now it's time to get back to work on Portal Sentinels, and share the progress with everyone!

Quick look at the Trap Launcher Tower in Portal Sentinels!
Fills free nodes in a 3x3 radius around the tower with traps, damaging the enemies walking on it.
Upgrade paths will unlock more utility by adding stuns, bleeding damage, explosion radius and more.

Started experimenting with Steam Lobbies and Steam Peer-to-peer Networking for a multiplayer prototype. Pretty straightforward for the moment but if you have some general advice or cool insight on the subject, I'd love to hear it!

While I'm waiting on some administrative things for the new "Untitled RPG" game I'm working on, I'm diving back into "The Nightwatch" for the v1.2!
I'll be working full time on it in the next few weeks. (New characters!)

Still having a lot of fun implementing all the basic features of an RPG while experimenting with what could be some core mechanics of the game. (Assets are temporary)

Got a lot of papers to fill this month and a big trip coming in April so updates will be a bit slower.

Went a bit overboard and implemented a first version of the Loot System, with random rarity, affixes, tiers. Managed to do something quite modular to add, remove, modify values, weight etc.

I got contacted by a few people struggling to reach the 3rd boss in The Nightwatch, so I did a full run with a fresh save. I hope it can help guide a few players!
I might reduce the difficulty again.

Got a sweet new logo for Astrow Games!
And I can say that I finally started working on a new game. I'll be working on a prototype of the combat system in the next few weeks and I'll go from there. I'll be back with something to show very soon!
