  It's Not Dead?

  I've been playing this a lot lately and got annoyed at all the ancient bugs and balance issues. Since I've got a few weeks off work for the holidays I jumped back into the code and made some massive changes.This game started my professional career as a game dev so coming back five years later to apply what I've learned has been really fun.ChangelogGeneralAdded more robot flavor text.Autocastable Active Items now activate when an enemy enters their Tower's Attack Range.Fast-forward speed in Singleplayer increased from 3 -> 3.5x.Kills by towers on Hard and Serious difficulty now provide experience to nearby towers like they do on Easy and Normal difficulties.Easy -> 35% of the kill XP goes to all nearby towers.Normal -> 25% of the kill XP goes to all nearby towers.Hard -> 25% of the kill XP is divided among nearby towers.Serious -> 20% of the kill XP is divided among nearby towers.Experience from kills reduced by 15%.Improved Tower Targeting Algorithm:No longer makes sub-optimal choices sometimes in maps like Strikethrough due to odd path shapes.Now takes into account Abilities for certain Towers and not just Auto-Attack range.Star's Active deals more damage than its Auto Attack and is treated as its true "damage range" when Towers are deciding what to attack.Also applied to the Volcano.It's possible to enable this for any Tower but not very many can "carry" so I didn't find the experience pleasant when this was applied to Towers that deal a bit of long-range damage but don't murder everything in sight.Towers that cannot deal Auto-Attack damage (Life Guardian, Alchemical Lab, Support Structure) are treated as having no "damage range."Fixed these algorithms for Mazing levels as well.Fixed bug with Mana Motor that could lead to its buff no longer applying.Fixed Items teleporting back to their slots if a HUD update is triggered while dragging it.Fixed enemy gibs often not simulating their physics correctly.Fixed being able to break the game by selling a Tower with a Soul...

  Balance & Bugs

  I came back from the dead to make the least used specialties viable and do a bit of extra balancing. Early Bird starting gold bonus from 500 -> 550. Enraged attack speed bonus from 65 -> 85. Hunter bonus damage to bosses from 100% -> 125% Hunter damage to mobs penalty from 25% -> 15%. Demolisher now provides a bonus 3% crit chance across all towers. Thinner damage to bosses penalty from -20% -> -12% Timewinder attack range penalty from -100 -> -40. Timewinder buff duration penalty from -50% -> -40%. Shifter Earth Hammer damage from 325+100/lvl ->325+120/lvl. Whirlwind Bombardment damage from 205+45/lvl -> 205+60/lvl. Cactus Uproot mana cost from 125 -> 105. Life Guardian's Impotent Mercy no longer set to autocast by default. Fixed issue where dragging an item from one tower to another using the popup item context menu wouldn't work correctly for HUD Scales other than 1. Fixed every single normal map in the game having an inverted green channel.

  Mutators Have Arrived!

  As a bit of a holiday update I've put together some gameplay modifiers to change how the game plays. These can be used in either single or multiplayer modes but not the main campaign. I hope everyone enjoys this new update! Patch Notes:Added Gameplay Mutators! You can mix and match different mutators to modify the game's core rules for fun or an added challenge. No Wave Delay:Removes all the time between waves so that players have to deal with a constant stream of enemies. Cannot Buy Items:Ever wonder if you could win a match with just towers? Adds one extra starting faction point. One Health Mode:If a single robot escapes, players immediately lose the match. Enemies Drop Items:Not only will robots drop potions, but normal items too! Gold gain reduced by 90% with this mutator active. Combine costs removed from all items in this mode, allowing players to build Combination items out of Components they receive. Endless Mode is now a mutator. Added new Achievements for completing challenges with the new Mutators! Holding the "Show Paths & Build Locations" hotkey (Default: Left Shift) now shows a quick readout of a tower's items as you mouse over them. Moving an item from one tower to another now shows the items currently on the tower you're trying to move the item to. When dragging an item from one tower to another, dropping the item on top of a specific item on the other tower will swap them. Optimized Shop Menu first open to have less of a stutter. Fixed Time Machine O Kosmos effect not having screen shake for multiplayer clients.
