Demo Changelog: 0.33 (Next Fest Edition)

Patch 0.33

The official Next Fest Demo version adds a dozen new enemies, extending the final boss out from round 55 to round 75; revamps the existing maps and adds two more; and changes the way the economy functions over the course of the game.

Bugfixes

• Optimize audio source priorities to ensure sound is more consistent during frenetic sequences
• Change stats dictionaries to use larger datatypes for players with long session histories
• Rework Enemy regen system to address lag issues past round 25

Gameplay & Balance Changes

• Add 12 new enemies
• Add true flyer enemy ability (flies over player towers)
• Add stealth enemy ability (cannot be targeted directly)
• Change bosses to spawn at the end of the first enemy pack of the round (instead of the end of all enemies in the round)
• Rework towers with fixed firing length to be more consistent at all game speeds
• Add cost inflation to spells and towers; will now cost more the later the round
• Ensure older towers are moved/sold for the amount they cost at time of placement

• Optimize tower stats system to create 90% less garbage (especially important in mid-to-late game)
• Soften lightning tower sound effect volume to reduce clipping

Known Issues
