Portal Sentinels is a 2D pixel-art tower defense game where maze creation is key!
Choose your class, place towers & walls, and conquer waves in Solo, Co-op, or Versus mode.

Creating complex mazes is a core element of Portal Sentinels. As a cheap alternative to placing towers, you can place walls!
You can also replace them with a tower later on.

Thanks #animasia and #indiegamefactory it was a blast. Never watched so many people play my game live at once before.
Now it's time to get back to work on Portal Sentinels, and share the progress with everyone!

Quick look at the Trap Launcher Tower in Portal Sentinels!
Fills free nodes in a 3x3 radius around the tower with traps, damaging the enemies walking on it.
Upgrade paths will unlock more utility by adding stuns, bleeding damage, explosion radius and more.

Quick look at the Pyromancer Tower in Portal Sentinels!
Stacks up to 5 projectiles for an initial burst of damage, and a chance to inflict burn stacks on the target.

To my fellow french people in Bordeaux:
Du monde interessé par Animasia le 11-12 octobre ?
J'ai la possibilité de faire un concours pour 2 places offertes si il y a suffisamment d'intéressés !

Started experimenting with Steam Lobbies and Steam Peer-to-peer Networking for a multiplayer prototype. Pretty straightforward for the moment but if you have some general advice or cool insight on the subject, I'd love to hear it!

Still having a lot of fun implementing all the basic features of an RPG while experimenting with what could be some core mechanics of the game. (Assets are temporary)

Got a lot of papers to fill this month and a big trip coming in April so updates will be a bit slower.

Went a bit overboard and implemented a first version of the Loot System, with random rarity, affixes, tiers. Managed to do something quite modular to add, remove, modify values, weight etc.

wow, I'm sorry, I never had the support team not helping me. Worst I had was them just linking the documentation without explanation (but I was the problem as the answer really was in the doc).
What did they say when you managed to talk to them ? They are maybe waiting for an answer from you ?

If it's only the public display, they should help fix it right away

Hey! The documentation specifies that you cannot change the release date up to two weeks before the specified date.
Have you tried contacting support ? They are usually fast to answer and quite helpful.

Hey there! If you are interested, I released a game in October with a demo.
It's called The Nightwatch and you can find it here : store.steampowered.com/app/2817910/...

I got contacted by a few people struggling to reach the 3rd boss in The Nightwatch, so I did a full run with a fresh save. I hope it can help guide a few players!
I might reduce the difficulty again.

Thank you! I'll keep the vibe but change most of the assets used for the prototype. I hope you'll still like it in the future

Started working on a prototype (assets are temporary).
Spell bar, cooldown management, tab/click targeting, player orientation, cast bars...
Next step: ~20 spells available, proceduraly generated rooms filled with enemies and i'll start playtesting the combat system

New logo for AstrowGames, a nice red joystick with a gear behind

Got a sweet new logo for Astrow Games!
And I can say that I finally started working on a new game. I'll be working on a prototype of the combat system in the next few weeks and I'll go from there. I'll be back with something to show very soon!
