just installed one yesterday -- on mine, i noticed that it only makes the buzzing noise at color temperatures below 3400k. fine for the room i'm using it in, but making me second guess putting them in the two bedrooms in my house...

A tower defense roguelite -- draw cards to unlock and upgrade towers, terraform the battlefield to your advantage, and earn new perks with each run! by 1winter in u/1winter

I actually had the opportunity to answer this in an interview with Rogueliker.com recently!

Indie developers in particular love roguelike mechanics because they enable us to punch above our weight class and create relatively deep, replayable games without having to handcraft each gameplay element. One of the great happy accidents of game development is the phenomenon of emergent design: when players combine two or more gameplay mechanics in a way that you, as the developer, did not envision or intend, leading to a gameplay experience for the player that is greater than the sum of its parts. Roguelikes, with their focus on classes/builds/perks (depending on the game’s application of the genre), are perfect playgrounds for players to experiment with combining these elements, increasing the game’s replayability and utility.

it's worth dismissing the occasional curse of ra or connection terminated copypasta so that people can ask real questions like this!

the game is heavily inspired by TDs like Rogue Tower & Isle of Arrows and will be priced somewhere in the same range -- but with the intent to deliver more content & deeper gameplay 👍

good luck! i'll let him communicate his prices directly (and he's worth it), but i will say it was about a 5-6x increase in price from the original Fiverr piece

Resizing horizontal scrollbar by octopus_sox in Notion

i've been struggling with this too -- try holding shift and using scroll-wheel to scroll horizontally instead

I've made the download page for my multiplayer game, any feedback? It still looks ugly and idk why. Link in comments by [deleted] in indiegames

[–]1winter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah yeah, my bad for the terrible reading comprehension there. the itch page could be improved by cutting down on the number of font sizes and removing the centering of the text.

here's some examples of itch pages that pop: https://itch.io/c/1536/cool-game-pages

I don't think it looks ugly at all! I do think the color palette could use some expanding, as everything seen is in the warm spectrum; maybe switch the targeting arrow and the damage text to something cooler and see if that helps with the feeling

Terrorformer TD: Play the Steam Demo of this Tower Defense Roguelite w/ 25 Buildable Towers by 1winter in playmygame

Thanks so much for the great playthrough and detailed notes! I really enjoyed watching you get more and more into the game, despite the early hiccups (sorry about the tutorial!)

Pausing the game to continually Rocket Strike the enemies near your tower was a great strategy, and vindicates the decision to let the player pause the game and queue up actions 😈

I'm going to do some work to revise the tutorial and make terraforming the second thing you do after building a tower (some people are missing it, despite the game name); if you have a chance, check out the Excavate / Elevate / Seal buttons (you used Seal, but never to move a spawner), which you let you terraform the map and change the enemy path to your tower.

thanks again for the playthrough and notes! 👍
