I’ve made the maze generator, that I originally created for Node Defenders, open source. You can generate mazes and get the JSON for the same.

Us entrepreneurs are inherently gamblers. We bet on ourselves and our ideas, and make decisions which often seem illogical to others.
And right now, I’m fully convinced that I can change the way people play games on blockchain 🎮⛓️

Based on these findings, I feel it might be best if I work on a new “survival” mode. It’ll help me introduce upgrade mechanics and work on a better ux without affecting the current gameplay

A much more elaborate iteration of the tower defence simulator for Node Defenders.
I’ve added a fancy algorithm to run several different configs in the bg and give me an optimal one.

Working on the difficulty scaling for Node Defenders after taking a break and messing with shaders.
Pacing the game is quite challenging so let’s see how that goes.
