It´s so interesting to hear your playstyle and experimentation with NXF, very cool!
The tower price increase, benefits having all towers types (first 1 or 2 are much cheaper), and it also benefits upgrading towers, over building like 100 towers. The selling tower strat was smart, I will have to balance it to not need to sell towers. I remember doing it a lot in kingdom rush, but it is a bit cheesy haha, the game should be balanced enough to not require that.
You map size concern is so right! I was busy creating the rest of the systems I neglect the map.
It will take time and experimentation to make better maps, probably with new elements and systems. And definitely smaller.
And will also have to help the player realize more intuitively the inventory system, maybe with the help of Anima´s voice. (pro tip, right click to swap or equip items)
Will be working on new levels, level 4 is easy with max gear.
I really appreciate the feedback, when I create collectibles or cosmetics, I will definetly dedicate one with your name =]
Wow! you are awesome! are you a dota or league player? because I want the game to have a decent micro skill.
The progress is saved with localstorage. I currently don´t have any way to collect data. That´s a great idea, I will look up how to implement a button so you can export all valuable game information, and also see it ingame. It will also help for rewards when finnishing levels, the better you do you gain some xp or something. Like a level summary (a future idea).
Last permanent skills made heros OP, but I got too excited about the system and share it immediately haha!
I will be working in new levels, that will be more challenging to balance heros, and make the progression smoother. With new enemies, attacks, properties, abilities. I will not make the typical multiplier to make enemies artificially harder. It will be fun but it will take more time to make it right. Towers will get some love aswell, so they can get stronger (since hero is OP right now) Sorry, I wrote too much LOL
I have a small subtle (not explicit) lore idea for the future, but it will take a while to get there.
My goal is to make the game super fun to play with basic graphics, once it´s done, make a complete overhaul of graphics, and then flesh out that subtle lore.
During gameplay, you are watching the ball bounce, didn´t notice for a while you could pick up items from dead enemies. Maybe make them have a pulsating aura or some aditional indicator to click them :)
This project is a fusion of three games I love:
Tower Defense + Dota-style abilities + Diablo-like progression.
The game is currently in early development, and I wanted to share the journey with you.
My main focus so far has been gameplay — making it fun, challenging, and replayable.
