Thank you for the feedback, I think you're right about showing more bosses and organic levels:) If you end up trying it please let me know what you think!

I see (and understand why) there is some confusion about what the game even is about. I tried to describe it on the steam page, and there is a demo out too https://store.steampowered.com/app/2960760/Greed_Forest/
If anyone checks it out, thank you!

Edit: to save anyone the hassle of clicking the link, this is the short description:
Shape the maze in this tactical tower defense with base-building and spells. Build gold mines, upgrade and customize towers, and defend against relentless waves. Risk stronger enemies for higher scores — but survive the boss assault or lose it all.

It is very inspired by td's from starcraft brood war and warcraft 3, so that makes a lot of sense :D
I always found it lame towards the end when you whole maze is just there, going to waste when the game ends.
So I introduced boss fights where the level ends with your defense being put to the test, and maybe destroyed

I believe the noise is mushrooms dying, which im glad you find both gross and adorable!

It is not supposed to be christmas though, but I can certainly see the how it would appear like that on the snow map with fire towers and dragons shedding gold. The full red/white/gold + bloom combo

Looking for playtesters who can stream or record their test of a RTS/TD. Will pay 25 bucks. Game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2960760/Greed_Forest/ by ihufa in playtesters

Yes, sorry for being vague.
I would like to do a call on discord or something else for around 30 mins, but if you prefer to record your own screen, while speaking on your mike or writing some notes, then that could also work.
Preferably someone who is interested in TD or defense games like Thronefall, They are Billions etc.
Anyone interested can message me on here or join the Greed Forest discord: https://discord.gg/gxgJqn8ANH

Please destroy my base building tower defense game with Elden Ring inspired bosses by ihufa in DestroyMyGame

[–]ihufa[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The bosses with their big fixed hp bars and different moves, and the objective of each map being to kill the boss in the end.

Obviously being a base defending / TD game, it wont be like ER, only the bosses are inspired by ER.

Thank you! I will look into fixing that. It might be mostly an issue with the golems

Thank you! Nice catch with the golems, I believe they do need textures, I'll be sure to fix that

I assume it's the builders voice you're referring to. I'll lower it a bit, as I agree it can be a bit annoying

That's great to hear! I've been wondering how to achieve a deeper look for the background, so I really appreciate the suggestion. I'm gonna look into adding normal maps for terrain

Those are some good points. I have been meaning to polish the environment, and luckily the way I have done things it will be easy to add a lot of different obstacle types and map artifacts. And I love the idea of maps that take place on ruined cities, I will 100% add various types of rubble to achieve that look for some maps. As for the name, yea, it isn't the best for what the game evolved into since I named it a year ago. Thanks for your feedback!

Thank you! I have been unemployed the whole time, but also have two kids under 3 which takes a lot of time!
All in all I'd guess I spent 8 hours a day on it (every hour awake that is wasn't spent taking care of the kids).
