Merry Christmas and Happy new year!! We bring a wonderful gift for you - a new build, one long long overdue! We’re in the middle of revamping the entire tutorial, because unlike all the other little changes we’ve made in the past year, this one is big. Huge. Amazing. You know what it is?
NEW TOWERS
You heard it right. We have FLAMETHROWERS NOW.
Four new towers have been added to the game, along with a plethora of changes to enemy firing, FPS mode in general, commander specials, shielding… just about everything is getting an upgrade, and my god I cannot wait to show you.
We have Pyro, this psycho little tower that will likes to say ‘#*&# this area in particular.’
Fire not your style? That’s cool. We got lasers too. And sniper’s nests.
“We want something new” I hear you say. Well, my dear imagined audience, have I got the tower for you!
Meet the Magno Bombs.
They chuck out magnetized balls of death. Which is fun on its own, but in FPS mode… your gun platform is magetized. You know what that means? Yup. You get to make like Zenyatta and throw your balls in people’s faces. Go forth and make things explodey, my friend!
All of this aside, we’ve made a multidude of changes. Shield got a visual overhaul, and it also has this cool pulsing thing that happens whenever you catch bullets in it, or if you get a powerup. Speaking of powerups… we added lots!!!
The adrenaline bombs are a thing of the past – now, we’ve got reload crates, tower boosting crates (think steroids for your turrets) and this awesome charge crate that turns the next enemy you boop into a bomb.
I do apologize for the lack of updates – we’re only a two person team here at MindWalker games, and I’m the only one on PR. Life was very much on the difficult side lately – unexpected expenses, work stress, and other troubles coalesced into an unholy trifecta of difficulty that knocked me out of the indiedev saddle for awhile. But I am happy to report that we are back and better than ever, and I cannot WAIT to show you all we’ve got in store.
The tutorial has been updated a bit, but we're still iterating on the shield and firing introduction. The beta will be updated in a day or two with added help, but for now here's what you need to know:
Activate shield with right click. Any shots you successfully block can be deflected back against the enemy. Use left click to discharge any built up shots back at the creeps.
WASD can be used to navigate at all times in FPS mode.
Yellow pickups = haste boost for the next tower you land on
Purple pickups = Quantum charge - next time you boop a creep with your shield up, he'll charge up and explode.
Green pickups = Targeting power. Click on an enemy in tactical view and your towers will all target him. Eliminates ground/air restrictions on that enemy.
Loot Crates = Full ammunition recharge
They can all be shot instead of picked up, and they'll just explode like a regular old bomb.
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday, and have fun playing!
