Hi All!

We've been working hard on a fun and challenging single-player experience, and we ended up settling on a survival-game-meets-tower-defense sort of experience, where towers can cast spells. A big question we've gotten is if towers can be made to cast any spell. Currently, the answer is "no", but we are planning on making that happen at some point.

Here are the build's changes:

Gameplay:
-Survival mode (currently it's "roguelike", but the plan is to make the experience more like survival sim where you can save your world)
-Limited-shot spells (for placing towers, and studying spells on scannable things)
-NPC chat system (your staff talks to you and gives you advice)
-Made more environment things destructible

Audio:
-Footstep/attacking sounds for Croakers and Rock Beasts.
-Ambience sounds
-NPC chat sounds

Performance:
-We got rid of dynamic water. It was slowing things down at certain times quite a bit.
-Fixed a performance bug having to do with the death "nether"

Survival 1) The ways that spawns would show up at night was annoying. They would show up behind you sometimes, and seemed too random and unexpected. Now meteors come from mysterious location, and crash near you. These create portals from which a limited number of croakers spawn. This should also take care of the frame…Community14 Apr 2017CodeSpells Version 0.904 -- Nightly/Default BranchThis version rebases both the nightly, or default branches of CodeSpells. At this version they are on in the same. In this version we are taking a step back with multiplayer. One of the things we did was changing out the ui engine to make development easier in the long run. In doing so, we chose to regress multiplayer since the veins of multiplayer were intertwined with the old ui system. We wa…
