@ABNNRML1 Thanks🙏 Scaling down breaks the whole feel,he's supposed to be imposing😁

Built a bone dragon boss for my demo.
Map is way too small for this big guy.
Should I redesign the map around it or scrap it for a humanoid boss?

@_dareDev Agree, what kind of variation works best for you, enemy types or spawn patterns?

[To Def or Not To Def @ToDeforNotToDef]

I need your opinion.
What makes a tower defense feel good, building variety or power fantasy?
I have towers, but also bullet hell and Survivors style powerups.
For the demo; more tower types, or more spells?

[To Def or Not To Def @ToDeforNotToDef]

@ColorTheBooks I want to. But I'd rather not delay the game another month😅

[To Def or Not To Def @ToDeforNotToDef]

My game now has a time stop ability.
No, I'm not adding a blonde charming vampire skin. (1k likes and we'll talk)

[To Def or Not To Def @ToDeforNotToDef]

Added wall buildings to the game.
Yes they stop enemies No you may not build the Great Wall of China in wave 3

@ThePolishApple absolutely not, would love that! 🙏

Solo dev problem: you add one "small" feature and suddenly question your entire game design.
Just gave players interactive environments in my tower defense. Torches, barrels, all usable as weapons.
Send help.

[To Def or Not To Def @ToDeforNotToDef]

@ThePolishApple Means a lot! Steam page and demo dropping very soon🙏

@Hacktivate16708 stealing this rule immediately. 2 new things max. I can do this. I can totally do this. (adds 3 things)

[To Def or Not To Def @ToDeforNotToDef]

@Hacktivate16708 where is my product manager when I need it. oh wait. I'm solo dev. I AM the product manager. and I just approved all of it.😁

[To Def or Not To Def @ToDeforNotToDef]

@IceTimeStudios haha thanks! at this rate I'm one feature away from turning a tower defense into a find waldo game 😂

[To Def or Not To Def @ToDeforNotToDef]

@RealIamLufa this is the most accurate thing I've read all week🫡

[To Def or Not To Def @ToDeforNotToDef]

@AgentNightRaven Thank you🤗

Developing your own game. Living the perfect work-life balance.
No.
It's a trap.

[To Def or Not To Def @ToDeforNotToDef]

@Unseen_Domains Unfortunately the barrels are limited per level, so spend them wisely! 😄

[To Def or Not To Def @ToDeforNotToDef]

@ColorTheBooks Work-life balance except work is exponential and life is a constant approaching zero 🥲
