Using some lovely @itch.io assets (made by Gowl) while I prototype the rewards UI. Check out their cool stuff here: gowldev.itch.io

The coloured nodes represent which resources were used to capture the base and therefore how powerful it is.

ATDG is going to have these little bases that can be captured. The bases give you different bonuses when capture them, for instance the Laboratory will let you unlock powerful attacks for your defensive turrets. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #towerdefense

It doesnโ€™t have a proper name yet - Iโ€™ve been referring to it as โ€œarbitrary tower Defense gameโ€. Iโ€™m excited about it.

As a neurodivergent person, there isn't much more irritating a thing than neurotypical people giving me advice as though it is universally relevant and helpful.

Yes I'm sure there is a different / faster way of doing what I'm doing - please fuck off and let me do what I need to do. #adhd

I forgot that I made a level editor for the previous web-based iteration of this game, and I have now wrangled it to spit out compatible levels for my new Love2d version. I am hyped as hell and smoking 5 cigarettes at the same time (I am not doing that). #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
