Element TD Update

[Karawasa]

It's been over a month since I announced this project. An update is in order! Without further ado, check out these terrain pictures.

The screenshots looks gorgeous!
How is the progress going? What have been done so far? Will you post updates about it here? If you care to enlighten me with more details.

I read at your homepage the following:
"There should be something playable by mid to late September. Be forewarned though, I am not the best when it comes to deadlines ."
And that sounds fantastic, I thought i might had to wait about half a year until this would be done. (Well, playable)

Big pictures hurt my eyes.

Thank you.



Looks good, any progress on the actual gameplay and stuff yet?

Is this gunna be a clone? or a redo?

Yes, I will post updates here as things progress. We have gotten a lot done regarding the data editor. The code is lagging behind, but a brand new development (a great coder joined) will change that.

I'd say we are still on track to have a private beta start around mid September. Now I can't anticipate the problems that may arise within the beta. However, a public release after a few weeks of the beta starting is reasonable.

While I may not be the best with deadlines, I can assure you that you won't have to wait half a year to play this! The game will never be done; there will always be improvements possible.

Not sure what you mean exactly. If you're talking about the game design, then yes we have done quite a lot. You can look forward to a bunch of new towers, a plethora of new modes (in future releases), and improved mechanics and core gameplay.

You should think of this version as Element TD 5.0. I hope that conveys it for you.

GET GLASSES YOU NOOB

This is not dead...

There are about 10 abilities left to make, a handful of mechanics to implement, and a few things that need tweaking. All of the tower/creep models have been selected, 98% of the tower/ability icons have been selected, and all of the tower/creep have been given names. The special effects for most abilities still need to be selected (or tweaked). Tooltips haven't been started but that is something I can wrap up quickly.

That's where we stand. As you can see we are close to starting the alpha phase. I hope this is more helpful than a misleading deadline!

Please keep in mind that the models and icons are placeholders. This video is meant to preview the functionality of some towers.

We are a week or two away from alpha.

The first playable version (alpha) will be completed sometime this week. Look forward to a lot more screenshots and videos soon.
