#Godot #td #Tower Defense
Hello,
This month we worked on adding new sprites for creeps, finishing up items, and improving the website of the game - youtd2.com. We've also enlisted the support from the original You TD community in discord! It's a big deal for us and we'd encourage you to join it if you're a fan of this tower defense game - https://discordapp.com/invite/KMAAvJg.
For this version, we thought we'd try something a bit different with our new commentator (warning: he might sound a tad robotic). What do you think? Feel free to drop your thoughts on the youtube comment section or right here in the comments.
Added animated sprites for all types of Orc creeps. We are trying to reduce the build size and not to use very heavy assets, that's why we reduced sprite quality based on the action. Currently, we only have 2 actions implemented - run and slow run. They have different compression configuration and frame rate. In the future we may allow players to tweak graphical quality of assets via in-game settings.
All item scripts, including those for oil items, have been completed! This represents a substantial amount of work, and from now on, we will focus solely on bug-fixing. We also need to brainstorm new names and descriptions for these items, as most of the icons were designed without considering their original background.
Implemented real logic for item drops which takes into consideration item rarity, type and current wave level. At the start of the game, creeps will drop simple items. As the game progresses, creeps will start dropping more powerful items.
Our website at https://youtd2.com showcases the latest changes in the game, and anyone can contribute to it as well! Here's the repository link: https://github.com/Praytic/youtd2-website. Here are the recent changes that our supporters have contributed:
