Hey everyone! Recently got a ton of time off work (not game dev related) and had a decent amount of time to get my game "TD Arena"* going. This game is a Tower Defense Autobattler. This idea turned out to be a really good decision for my next title. It's not impossibly complicated (outside of maybe game balance) to work on and I'll be able to get my toes wet with online games. I wouldn't expect online matchmaking and whatnot and it will likely just be a single player against the CPU and direct connect online. Probably LAN too, but I doubt anyone will play on LAN.
So far it is pretty barebones with very basic prototype animations. I'm still figuring out what I'm going to do in the end. I was originally going for a true 90° top-down angle. It would be significantly easier to design for this game in specific, but we'll see what I end up doing. The game is turning out pretty decent, definitely not great nor close to finishing. The prototype should be a bit fun.
I'm keeping this post brief. We'll see what else comes up, but just wanted to log this. Take care!
