Hello everyone! Hope you enjoying the holidays

Managed to get the Research tree up and running! Permanent upgrades can now be unlocked for each turret which persist throughout the game.  Currently implemented upgrades include Attack Damage, Fire Rate and Turret Range.  I am looking to make the final research node for each turret an "Ultimate" upgrade which changes the turret completely for a more powerful one.  Let me know what u guys think :)

Hello everyone! It's been a while

Quick update on the game.  

I have been hard at work finalizing the foundation for the game so design will be a lot more streamlined.

Updated enemy pathing and multiple spawn points to add more variety to level designs.

Added next Wave button to allow players to send the next waves early for an added challenge.

Added shooting animations to all turrets.

Changed the visuals of enemy spawn portals and added a visual of the players defend target (spaceship)

Added screen shake when you lose a life or trigger an elemental reaction!

Ground where turrets are built changes materials to match the turrets element

Updated UI images so the resolution of buttons ans UI elements

These changes allow for much quicker level design and will greatly reduce the time it takes to build more levels into the game.

I Will be posting screenshots with all these updates shortly.  

Hope you are still looking forward to trying this game out.  I will probably release a demo version to get some initial feedback. Let me know if you are interested!

Cheers
