Update notes via Steam Community
It's a new week and that means a new update for the game. My goal for balance was to make it so that the game can be won at least most of the time on each class. In general, classes now start with more towers and upgrades, since the first few combats are the hardest. Ideally the first few combats of the game, or each act, would be weaker than the rest, but that's something for down the line. Weaker items got buffed, a few strong items got slight nerfs, and some waves got nerfed. There's also a handful of minor changes and bug fixes in this update.

Minor Changes:

  • Enemy death animation now plays when the game is paused
  • Displayed ability costs now round to the nearest integer
  • Enemy path preview now shows when the game is paused
  • If a combat is cleared while paused, new combats start at 1x speed
  • Spread shot tower with the beam converter upgrade now shoots 3 beams at the target
  • Slight tooltip and description changes


Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a crash when previewing the final wave mid combat
  • Fixed mine being invisible
  • Fixed mine dealing damage to all enemies that touched it at any point in time
  • Fixed anergy tower not shooting
  • Fixed anergy tower showing it's range by default
  • Fixed problems with projectile AoE scaling size
  • Fixed energy conversion not being usable
  • Fixed DoT on hit upgrade crashing the game
  • Fixed projectile wall not being usable
  • Fixed crash when gaining overshield relic
  • Fixed overshield not blocking damage at full health

These changes by no means solved the issues with the game, but hopefully it's a nice step in the right direction. Balancing and bug fixing are going to be an ongoing fight that I'll chip away at with each update. Speaking of future updates, next week's update will likely be less focused on a certain topic like the first two updates were. Next update may also introduce some new items but no guarantees.
