Game design and larger waves

Helleeeuuu. We're making some exciting progress in game design! It's Adriaan's department, so I can't speak to the details of what went on in his brain :P But I can show you some of the screen shots I made during testing and explain what's new. First off, I turned more of our tower designs into pixel assets, and added them to our test level. Here are most of them:
We designed a couple of placeholder enemies, and created larger waves:
And We've put assets on spawn points, so it's clear the enemies spawn out of the Rifts:

We've also added indicators to spawn points, to make building decisions more strategic.
And we made a decision to have resource generators remain inactive when built during a wave, to nudge more towards saving resources for 'engine building' rather than stressing optimizing the exact moment the generator is built. (That's the best I can do at explaining it in 1 sentence :P You'll see what I mean in the demo :D). Here's a gif of the new generator!
More in the next update!

  • A minimalistic tower defense game with concise gameplay, a light story, and vibrant pixel art.



    As with most tower defense games, enemies in Rift Riff come in waves and you summon various towers to stop them from reaching and destroying your basecamp.



    So what's the deal with the rifts? Rifts in spacetime fling you from one atmospheric world to another. While you summon towers and extract energy from each world to create a rift to bring you home (hopefully, probably, maybe) its inhabitants spawn to sabotage your escape.

    Features

    • The whole game with updates and everything (?)
    • Some amount of levels (??)
    • Multiple hours of gameplay (?!?)
    • Many many towers and enemies (?!???!)
    • Upgrades, Skill Trees, Challenges, Modifiers, Replayability... we have no idea either!
    • If it wasn't clear enough: we don't know precisely (yet) what'll be in the game. We'll announce things as we go right here on Steam, so uhhh... wishlist and find out?!
