    Love this idea. Kingdom Rush devs always had this strange design philosophy of making extremely in-depth systems and then making like only 15 total levels where replay ability comes from self imposed challenges.

    @jojoviviator9258 Před 14 dny +1

    Also, as a game designer with limited coding ability, please know that there are people out there (like myself) with an overabundance of creativity looking to work together with people with the know how, in order to channel that creativity into finished products. Hint, hint, I'm open to collaboration (A)

    Hi TJ, very nice video. I'm also someone nostalgic of a game that didn't have new release since ages... I was just wondering about IP challenges you might face? is that common in the industry to openly copy other games? If that's the case it's a good news to me!

    If you haven't already, another tower defense game you should probably have a look at is Arknights.
    Yes, it is also an anime gacha game and has RPG elements, but it's still one of the best tower defense out there. With some good, yoinkable gamedesign choices. 😉
    And it also has two different roguelike modes: The major one being Integrated Strategies. And Stationary Securitiy Service, which has some minor roguelike elements.

    Great fun so far! I have especially fallen in love with the UI presentation. Looks so smooth...🤌
    Regarding constructive feedback, I have spotted a few small spelling mistakes so far:
    The end screen text reads "Our defenders has [should be: have] fallen..."
    The card "Idol of the Sun Maiden" reads: "Its [should be: It's] only paganism..."
    Also, the developer console menu opens up when the merchant arrives. Don't know why, it's also not particularly bothersome but I thought I'd point it out.
    All in all: Good job with the game, it's great fun!
