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 […]
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 […]
You asked for it so we made it, Tower Storm now has a survival mode! This mode is like traditional tower defense where you work with friends to defeat waves and waves of incoming minions and see how long you can last. The map design is based off an old favourite Warcraft 3 map: Burbenog! […]
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 […]
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 […]
Over the last week (and a bit) I’ve been working heavily on improving the servers performance and stability. Previously after games had ended many variables and code would still be running in the background causing the servers to get slower and slower over time until eventually they ran out of memory and died. This issue […]
Bots are live! Sure they don’t do much yet, they only build 3 towers then spam you with a basic minion whenever they can until either you or they die. But since when has that ever stopped me releasing something (scrappy is good right? ;)) It should be fairly obvious how to add them to […]
