Fortower Defense Devlog #2

Fortower Defense’s Future

Being a solo developer, I’ll have to be careful about making Fortower too big, so I made a plan.

Features Added

• Sound Effects
• Upgrades
• Inspection Box
• Gold
• Enemy Improvements
• More Effects

Upgrades

Upgrades in Fortower will change the color of buildings and add some functional features like stun, more damage, more range, etc.

End Screen

A very tempory end screen that will allow you to leave and see you rewards.

Game Loop

Fortower’s game loop is similar to Tower Defense Simulator. You start in a lobby, join games, earn rewards, and use those rewards for more buildings and cosmetics. However, I also want to avoid players grinding the same map for the most profit, so I’m designing a system that’ll support players who play on multiple levels.

Maps and Currency

The maps in Fortower won’t have a difficulty choice, because it’s often difficult to get everyone to agree on one and to know which is the best. Maps are instead separated into normal and challenging. There will also be two forms of currency each earned from both types of maps. The challenging currency will be required for expensive and advanced buildings.

Collaborating with @NoGreaterGamer! [untitled] NoGreaterGamer will help me with the development of Island Defenders, and we work amazingly well together! With a fresh,…

Fortower Defense Devlog #1

Season 2 What happened? To keep it short, Fortower went from a impressive confusing 3D to a simpler 2D base defense. I had to start the game from scratch and rebuilt systems as classes. Narrowing my focus to the main goal of this journey to… “A building defense game on a 2D grid” After narrowing my idea, I found inspirations from: Clash of Clans Zombs io The Tower Defense Genre Changes Placing Buildings In the old Fortower, you had bottom, top, and side blocks or wall, crossbow, and l…

I’d gotta say this devlog is looking good! I like the end screen! It’s very well made! And I also like the new features added! I think sound effects would make the game even far better! Good job!
