Some members of the team wanted to give a little write up about the changes!
Our last playtest we got a lot of awesome feedback. One key thing was that the game became way too easy once you knew how it worked. We realized that this was a difficult problem to solve with such static enemies. We decided to completely overhaul how our enemies are designed. This allowed us to create more dynamic gameplay where the player must respond to the enemies.
After doing this, we needed to completely overhaul the wave spawning and pretty much all of the balance in the game. Hopefully it's quite a lot better now than our last playtest!
Since the last playtest there have been some major strides in UI and laying foundation for new features. Account leveling, settings menu, memories menu, and saving progress all great examples of this. We want to keep pushing to explore the various corners of the game so we can continue to iterate all aspects of the game, steadily improving the player experience over time.
You may not be able to see it visibly, but there has also been big leaps in refactoring the codebase and improving debugging/testing tools. This refactoring means we can easily support new features without massive overhauls or bugs popping up everywhere. Hopefully you will soon be able to see the power of this in upcoming playtests!
