I’ve been playing a lot of Tower Storm over the past week with many different fans to measure where the gameplay still needs improving and one thing I consistently noticed was players weren’t even dealing any damage till very late game. So the game would go on for 10 – 15 minutes with no health […]
Fog of war is now in PvP, so you can’t see your opponents defenses before you get to them. Still a bit James Bond esque but it works for now (I’ve tried making it look better unfortunately performance suffers too much for my liking) Currently it doesn’t make a big difference to the gameplay as […]
Previously in PvP you could easily win a game by sending the same minion so fast the opponents towers couldn’t keep up. This caused problems where the best strategy was to “press all the buttons!”. Now you only have a stock of 5 of each minion type to send, this stock refreshes after you’ve sent […]
June has brought an explosion of creativity for Tower Storm. It’s the first time the servers have been scaling and completely stable in a while so we could really drill into the gameplay and UI to tweak and refine over and over. New smaller more fun levels The first major change is to the level […]
Today marks the day Tower Storm hits v0.2 pre-alpha. For it’s finally at a stage where the servers are moderately stable, gameplay is good and the graphics are copyright free… “What you were using copyrighted graphics!?” Yes unfortunately I discovered a few days ago that the graphics we were using for Tower Storm were in […]
EDIT (14/02/14): Unfortunately Tower Storm no longer has this exact map as after iterating through designs and optimizing for fun we found smaller maps were just as strategic but way more fun. The current version of Tower Storm stays true to its Wintermaul wars roots in providing epic 3 vs 3 PvP battles both attacking […]
Yes we’ve been quiet for a while, unfortunately here at TowerStorm HQ we’ve had to get lots of businessy stuff sorted with milestones and long term plans and such so we aren’t simply flailing around any more 😉 Luckily in all this madness we’ve still found time to work on the next phase of Tower Storm: Making […]
I’ve been thinking getting income every 10 seconds is far too slow and makes the game feel more turn based than it should be. I love real time action and fast and furious gameplay and it seems many players do too so (the slow early game has been one of the biggest complaints). So instead […]
I’ve just uploaded our first major rework of the Tower Storm gameplay. We realized after playing many games that most games were going far too long and when they reached late game it was almost impossible to get minions through your opponents defense (when playing 3 vs 3 at least). So we’ve buffed most of […]
You may have noticed arrows have recently been added to the game. This came about as many players let me know they didn’t know where they should build their towers at the beginning of the game. Hopefully this should make it a little clearer. The green arrows show where your minions will travel and vice […]
