Patch NotesOfficial
Patch 0.53: Tower Rotation and Health+Mana Bars
Gave the Flamethrower towers the ability to rotate after being built. Flamethrower tower now has the opportunity to be "micro-ed" as there is no cooldown on changing its rotation. Health and mana bars made more ascetic-->changed static color to an animationRead full article on Community Announcements (Samnater)Patch NotesOfficial
Small Bug Fix
Multiplayer Name text fixed (text was reversed/upside down after last patch)Read full article on Community Announcements (Samnater)Patch NotesOfficial
Patch 0.52 : Minimap Improvements, Polishing, and Bug Fixes
Enemies now appear on the minimap with their armor type for their icon. Fixed bug where using an ability or placing a tower would not allow you to choose an upgrade Map Terrain made less intense on GPU (lighting and shadows were being rendered in areas that would never been seen) Floating Gold text (from killing enemies) appears in a more fluid animation Gold reward from killing enemies decreased Sound from laser tower rebalanced (originally too loud) Right Clicking an enemy when a tower is selected will cause that tower to target that enemy first--if that enemy is within the tower's range. Does not currently work with the Light tower and Rock Tower Fixed Bug where Flamethrower Tower would not animate properly (open) for client in multiplayer Experimenting with spawning clickable chests that appear randomly on the map and reward gold when clicked--not implemented yetRead full article on Community Announcements (Samnater)Patch NotesOfficial
Patch 0.51: Multiplayer Crashes Fixed!
Multiplayer crashes are fixed! There were some references to invalid array values in the code...fixed those right up and learned how to avoid those going forward. Still some improvements to be made to the code--but everything is functioning from what I've seen playtested. Up next--going to do some sound, asthetic, and balance upgrades. Stay tuned!Read full article on Community Announcements (Samnater)Patch NotesOfficial
Patch 0.50: Multiplayer Added! Many Small Tweaks too!
Multiplayer is added! Currently can play with up to 4 players online. Took about 4 months of learning how to "replicate" actors and effects across multiple clients and then re-code parts of the game. There are numerous other small updates--some visual and some gameplay/code. Still working on fixing a bug causing the multiplayer host to crash after wave 3. I'll post more specific patch notes and changes after that is fixed. Thanks for reading! Any questions/comments/thoughts or changes you want to see in the game--please let me know!Read full article on Community Announcements (Samnater)
