Hallo liebe Spieleprogrammierer!

Ich wollte hier mal mein jüngstes Project Core Defense mit Euch teilen, ein Singleplayer-Spinoffs von Coregrounds, das ihr vielleicht von hier aus dem Forum kennt. Wir haben Coregrounds Anfang 2019 eingestellt, aber da ich die ganzen Assets noch rumliegen hatte, hab ich die einfach in ein neues Spiel verwurstet und das Ergebnis seht Ihr hier:



Core Defense ist ein Roguelike Tower Defense Spiel mit einem Hauch von Deckbuilding. Für Win, Mac und Linux ist es auf itch.io bereits verfügbar, zu Steam kommt es als nächtes und dann gegen Ende des Jahres auch noch auf Android und iOS.

Hier gibt's noch einen Trailer:



So und jetzt bin ich offen für Fragen und Feedback! :-)

Das Spiel ist aktiv in Entwicklung, ich hab erst gestern einen neuen Patch released:



Good news everyone – you have had to wait a bit longer for this patch, which I had sitting around half done for weeks now before I found enough time to finetune and finish it due to the Coronavirus madness. But at long last it's done and I'm very happy to give you the next version of Core Defense!

The "Procedural Patch" contains many balancing changes, mostly around streamlining the difficulties and closing the vast gap between early and late difficulty levels. I've also nerfed shields because they were massively overpowered.



There are three big changes I want to highlight: One is a new tower: the DISRUPTOR hits mobs with a status effect which inhibits all actions and attacks. And perfectly in line with that new tower is the EXECUTIONER rework: this tower now multiplies its damage by the amount of status effects on the target, so creating builds around this tower and many different status effects is now not only viable, but heaps of fun.



And last but not least: all normal waves are now procedurally generated. Ideas for preset waves kept piling up and I found balancing them increasingly hard, so I've opted for the randomization approach and during playtesting, it felt very good. I'm very curious for your feedback on this one though: it's a major change that influences many parts of the game, but from all the intended and accidental side effects I've found so far, I'm happy about all of them.



As always, I hope you have fun with this new version and I'll gladly accept all your feedback on the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/URcmzXm). And here are the full patch notes for version 1.5.0-beta:
