May have accidentally paraphrased Toy Story - Literally.

Last night I decided for my stream I would 'redo' the tower defense and in the process I would 'clean up' and simply not include ALL the extra bits I added whilst developing it and only use what I'm actually using and organize things better so I would have 1 controller since I have 1 game mode.. Instead of having 3 controllers for example! But just to point out that previously I'd wrote 1.0.0 and beyond!! .... At the start of the stream I started up the game and let it run in the background, Everynow and then I'd add a tower or two until Wave 41 where my map was full (I'm working on selling back your towers to prevent this issue) and for the entire stream (4 hour Streams on Sunday, Monday & Tuesday) the same game was running.. After finishing at around 1am I went to do some stuff and came back still not quite losing...

So I'm back to my 'balancing issue' I have most certainly broken it!! But I did 'reset' the Enemies health and have it = the wave.. So at this point the enemies are roaming around with 168 HP... Once I roll out the upgrade system I am going to make the enemies be 2x 3x or even 4x their current value of HP.. (Also got potentially upto 15 enemies... 5 different colours, 3 different sizes...) and a nice range of Speed across all the units... This should cause some Mayhem.. 

As much as I want to create an 'endless' experience... So far, after wave 41 with seemingly 'random' tower placement.. This just becomes an Idle game. And as much as I like Idle Games... At least the ones I play.. They have upgrades!! So there's more progress to be made for sure. I feel like tonight will yield the upgrade system if I work hard enough that is. (Tonight being Destiny 2's reset day... I developed an Addiction to Destiny 2 in August just before the new expansion came out but I feel like I'm done for about 2 weeks now until the new new expansion drops... I would normally care more about it being Reset Day but game devving has saved me for now!) 

Should also have a decent UI Update tonight too.. I attempted an idea using a reshaped 'HQ' but it didn't really work out. But there are some cooler ideas to be implemented for that (this is just a visual thing right now, functions are fine)

 

I'm going to link drop again though. If you want to Play This Current Version it is live on Gamejolt ... 

I am attempting to keep a Changelog too with information regarding future plans too.. I dunno the best way to outline these bits of information as of yet but will get there!
