Ahoy, Captains
Defish Ticket holders - it’s your time to shine! In a few days we are going to contact you to give you the access to the closed alpha testing!
Today, to prepare all Captains to what is coming, we decided to explain one of the core game mechanics for you!
#TDdevblog 5
How do Towers in TD work:
Placing:
The tower can be placed anywhere on the map, but different types of towers have different placement rules. Some towers must be close to the river, while others are more effective when placed further away.
Obstacles like shores, rocks, and the river can block tower placement, but some of them can be removed using in-game currency.
To assist you in placing the tower correctly, you will see a grid showing available places for building.
Economics:
You can place as much towers as you like on the map, but there is an interesting detail — every next tower of the same type you already have will cost several percent more, which will protect the economics from spam and encourage you to use a more creative and diverse approach to towers, allowing you to use all 10 types in different setups.
Upgrade:
Each tower has three distinct statistics that can be upgraded individually. Upgrades not only enhance a tower's performance but also alter its appearance. As a result, may see towers that look very similar but have minor differences, indicating they are at various upgrade stages.
To be able to upgrade a tower, you need to have the required amount of EXP. Once the EXP cap is reached, a new level of upgrades becomes available for all three tower statistics. However, only two of the three stats can be upgraded at this point. This means that once two of the three available stats are upgraded, the third one becomes locked and cannot be upgraded further.
Upgrades are not permanent and they reset at the start of each new game level, which makes you decide how to move forward with the upgrades for every game level.
Tower Features:
Every tower type is unique and is made for a certain task. We will tell you more about every tower type in the future, but today we will reveal some major features:
Target Priority. You can set a priority target for each tower for it to attack a certain type of fish before all others. As an example, you can assign Inferno Tower to attack Tank fish first, and all other types of fish only if there is no Tank fish in the river.
Towers can be destroyed. There is one unique type of fish that can attack towers and destroy them, so be attentive when placing towers.
Apart from upgrading towers inside a game level, you can upgrade them permanently with Crystals. Every Crystal will give its unique bonus, e.g. boosting the tower’s attack range or damage. You can only use 2 Crystals for one tower, but the Crystals can also be upgraded.
Now you are ready for landing, Captains! Who knows, maybe the chance to test your knowledge is right around the corner! Stay extremely sharp for the news and don’t miss anything!
