New Build - 1.26 - Tuning/Bombardment Retired

Game design often involves a lot of experimentation, and some experiments don’t always pan out. And on that note we’ve removed bombardment. It was intended to allow weaker players a small chance of beating more experienced players and feel like they at least made a dent before being beaten. However, more often it felt arbitrary and didn’t achieve its design goals for either player. The cost of keeping it in outweighs its benefits so we’ve removed it. We’ve also slightly tweaked the bomb bots in order to make them harder to spam with early game, but more viable later in the game.

Update Notes:


  • Removed bombardment
  • Changed bomb bot cooldown to 18/18/18 from 17/18/19
  • Changed bomb bot building cost to 65/70/75 from 60/70/80
As always, let us know what you think!

New Build 1.25 - Bombardment Tuning

First, welcome to all the new players who have been trying the demo! Based on recent feedback I did some tuning on the comeback bombardment. The goal of the bombardment is to give you a chance if you made a mistake in the first minute or so of a match, but not be so powerful as to feel cheap later on. These changes hope to better achieve that.

Tuning:


  • Bombardment gets weaker later in the game
  • Bombardment takes longer after each time it is used to charge up
  • Changed bombardment UI to hopefully better indicate that you can aim it
  • Bombardment targeting tries to avoid friendly fire situations, also starts higher up
Let us know what you think!

Free Demo Released - Includes Multiplayer!


Want to play Cannon Brawl with your friends? We’ve released a free demo so your friends can try it out! We want to get our multiplayer lobbies bursting with new people so you can always find opponents, whether you’re using our matchmaking system or inviting a friend. That’s why we’ve decided to open up the game for players to try it free. To celebrate, we’re also putting on a sale this week. If you like what you see, you can get the full game for 40% off! The free demo allows you to play skirmish games against the AI, unranked multiplayer, and you can accept invites to friend matches from owners of the full game. You’ll get one airship pilot and 5 war machines to try out. The full game includes much more. It’s got a twenty mission campaign with boss battles, nightmare mode, tons more airship pilots and units to unlock, puzzle levels, and competitive ranked multiplayer. A demo you say, so why is it called Free-To-Play? A big part of Cannon Brawl is its intense multiplayer matches. We want demo players and owners of the full game to be able to fight each other in unranked multiplayer matches. With steam matchmaking, this ends up being called Free-To-Play. But for Cannon Brawl, you can think of it as a demo. There are no microtransactions or in game purchases.

New Build 1.2 - Comeback Bombardment

Big update today featuring a whole new mechanic for the game! We've added a new ultimate power that charges up as your buildings take damage and will allow you to comeback from small mistakes early on.

Features


  • Added a new mechanic: Comeback Bombardment. As you take damage and your buildings are destroyed you can bombardment power, displayed on the top of the screen. When your meter is full you can call in a bombardment on your enemy by pressing space. The enemy buildings nearest your airship will be targeted. This is to prevent small mistakes in the beginning costing you the game and to provide for more dynamic and surprising matches. We will likely be tuning this going forward.
  • Tweaked random building select to not pick bank and mountain maker so often
  • Tweaked random map select to force more variety

Tuning:


  • Shields now completely absorb Frost Tower shots
  • Increased frost tower level 2 cost to 60 from 55
  • Increased frost tower cooldowns by 1 second per level
  • Lowered warhead life to 10/15/20 from 15/20/25

Fixes:


  • Fixed crash on OSX Yosemite when spacebar was pressed
  • On mac, non-xbox 360 Gamepads should behave better
  • Fix for rare case where an orphaned lobby would impede matchmaking As always let us know what you think!

Cannon Brawl blasts into Final Release!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9qKU-pt11Q Today is the big day, Cannon Brawl is now 1.0! We’re really proud of what we’ve accomplished. Cannon Brawl is fun, looks fantastic, and explores new areas of design for strategy games. It’s everything we imagined it would be: full campaign, puzzle levels, and deep and competitive online multiplayer. We've come a long way from the little prototype I made back in college. It won the Activision Independent Games Competition, which launched me and Theresa’s journey into full time indie game development as Turtle Sandbox. It was selected in the 2012 PAX 10, which helped get our name out there and was the first time we demoed it publicly. We launched our alpha in July of 2013 on Early Access, and today we’re now ready to call it done! Of course, we’ll still be supporting it with future patches and updates. Huge thanks to everyone who played the Early Access builds, we got a ton of great feedback and it’s made the game better than we ever thought possible. It’s been great to have players who play the game at a higher level than we do and can help balance and tune in ways we couldn't have done on our own. We’ll be streaming on Twitch from 12pm-8pm PST here: http://www.twitch.tv/cannonbrawlgame. Stop on by to join our celebration of launch day and see some exciting match ups in online multiplayer!

New Build - Beta - 0.9.921

Welcome to the next update in our beta phase. Thanks everyone for all the feedback, we’ve got a new batch of fixes and tweaks, as well as a first step toward a global multiplayer lobby. We also did some tweaking to the banks, with the objective of making them more useful during the mid game, and encouraging bribing attack buildings mid-game. They may end up being way too powerful, or way too weak. Be sure to weigh in with a comment and we’ll be hotpatching in new balance changes there.

Features:


  • First pass on the activity lobby. Press J to join it from the main menu, from here you can see who is online, chat to them, and start the quickmatch search. While the quickmatch search is running you can hide the lobby and do other stuff like play the campaign until a match is found! This is still using placeholder art a lot about it could be changed in future updates. There are probably some lingering bugs with this feature, so let me know if you find any.

Tuning:


  • Level 1 drill costs 65 instead of 60
  • Flamethrower no longers destroys extra ground when it dies
  • Shields block mountain maker shots
  • Level 1 sheilds now cost 50 from of 45
  • Reduced demolisher cooldown to 16/17/18 from 17/18/19
  • Reduced demolisher level 1 cost to 55 from 60
  • Banks now generate gold even when on cooldown
  • Increased bank buyout progress to 20/30/40 per shot from 10/15/20
  • Banks now have a range that is upgradeable per level
  • Reduced hitbox sizes for lightning rod and accelerator and changed their life to 7 to help reduce ‘clock-blocking’

Fixes:


  • Attempt fix drill bug where drills could stay on the screen sometimes with a high latency connection
  • Fixed bug where you could build inside a diamond mine on Southern Coast without having dug it out first
  • Fixed some rare crashes
  • Fix a bug where the HQ could be damaged on the final boss without killing the hands first
  • Fixed some network bugs

Cannon Brawl blast into Beta - New Build 0.9.9!


We’re excited to announce with this update, Cannon Brawl is now in Beta! Beta marks one of the last remaining steps until final release. The game has come a long way since our launch last year and we’ve added a ton: nightmare mode, puzzle levels, new buildings and pilots, and new multiplayer maps. Thanks everyone for all the feedback. Cannon Brawl is the best game we’ve ever worked on, and it wouldn’t have been possible with your help! And now for the notes for this particular build:

Features/Improvements:


  • Added the Knight pilot. Every 45s the knight can heal a building for 5 life and increase it’s maximum life by 5. His buildings will be hard to beat if you stack them with floating platforms and repair centers! He’s waiting in the armory to be unlocked.
  • Added the Lightning Rod building. This is a territory balloon replacement that bestows flames, shots, and lasers a damage bonus if they pass through the lighting rod’s area of effect. The bonus also stacks, so you can set up a path of lightning rods for lots of extra damage. These combo with the missile towers for devastating effect. We’ll likely need a lot of tuning feedback on this one! The Lightning rod is also in the armory.
  • Added Monthly Ranking leaderboard. This leaderboard tracks players ranking activity for the current month. This uses a monthly elo, which separate from your all time ranking. Each month this will reset and the monthly leaderboard will be cleared so you can start anew at staking your claim as the top brawler.
  • Lots of visual tweaks
  • Added a few new sound effects
  • A new quest is now generated immediately after a current quest is completed
  • Added a new quest: Flank the Shields - Destroy shield towers while their shields are active
  • Added a new quest: Three by Three - Win a multiplayer game or Battle vs. AI (insane) with at least three fully upgraded towers remaining. (Thanks to QQTastic for this one).

Fixes:


  • Changed the way sounds settings are saved. This will cause everyone’s volume levels to reset once when they get the new build, but they should save normally afterwards.
Finally, because we've added so much to the game since launch, we're pricing the game at $14.99 for the 1pk and $19.99 for the 2pk. But, we're running a 40% off week long sale at the same time in case you want to get in close to the original price.

New Build (0.9.87) - Super Title Menu Edition Turbo Ex

Quick update today, but a major change to the beginning of the game:

Features/Improvements:


  • Big overhaul on the mainmenu, awesome all new art and animated intro sequence to the title screen. This give some added atmosphere before you even get into the game.
  • New terrain art half of the puzzle levels

Fixes:


  • Gamepads should now work on mac (attempt #2)
  • Fixed bug where you could build in the ground on the forest map

New Build - Alpha 0.9.86 - Battening Down the Hatches

This build update is focused on fixing bugs and improving performance. It is a significant update because of two reasons: 1) I changed a good chunk of network code to help fix the shield vs grenade launcher bug and fix some rare and outlying de-sync issues. In my testing worked well...but it's a large code change so it's possible (though hopefully unlikely) there are new bugs. Let me know if anything gets fishy during networked games. 2) Lots of mac bugs are fixed (thanks all for reporting them) including the hang on mission complete and the gamepads should now work. If you tried it on mac, give it another go! Anyway, here's the full notes:

Features/Improvements


  • You can now scroll individually through the leaderboard and press A or Spacebar to open up to that users steam profile page.
  • Various performance improvements

Fixes:


  • Fixed bug on mac where game could hang after campaign missions
  • Fixed bug on mac where game could hang after first quest screen
  • Upgraded to MonoGame version 3.2 for the mac build, which fixes other various issues.
  • Gamepads should now work on mac
  • Reworked shot network multiplayer code to help fix divengent behavior when shots impact shields right as it goes up. This ended up changing a lot of code, there could be more issues still, let me know if you find any.
  • Fix bug where players online was always 0, even if more people were online. This is actually due to a steam sdk call failing (it’s very rare there are ever 0 people online). Valve fixed their issue so it should now work again.
  • Fixed possible crash on warship level
  • Fixed bug where options buttons were showing on top of leaderboard UI
  • Fixed bug where gamepad would control the game when the steam overlay was up
In our next update we'll be back to adding new stuff!


[ 2014-05-31 00:30:25 CET ] [ Original post ]


New Build - 0.9.85 - Puzzle Levels

Features/Improvements


  • Added 10 optional puzzle levels into the campaign. Removed the ‘challenge levels’ menu option, since they are now integrated on the campaign map to help improve pacing. Instead of 20 intense battles in a row you’ll get some puzzle levels sprinkled in between (you’ll notice the puzzle levels as new purple dots on the map). Beat them to unlock XP to spend in the armory. Let us know what you think!
  • New UI pass on player status and ready states during army selection

Tuning:


  • Increased driller cooldown to 75 seconds
  • Decreased driller blast radius
  • Decreased grenade launcher range
  • Increased grenade launcher cooldown to 16 from 14
  • Increased building platform health to 7 from 5
  • Decreased frost dmg down by one per level
  • Lowered frost tower range slightly
  • Decrease king shield regen time to 30s from 35
  • Increased cooldown bonus reach range on accelerator
  • Reduce’s uncle damage back to 7, lower cooldown to 35s

Fixes:


  • Fixed shift not working on mac
  • Error messages on crashes will now show up on mac
  • Fixed a crash in nightmare mode
Thanks for all the tuning feedback and bug reports!

New Build - 0.9.8 - Driller, Banker, and Fortified Mine

Features/Improvements


  • Added a new pilot, the Driller, who can destroy a chunk of ground around their airship every 60s as an active ability. Use this pilot to drop enemy buildings that are sitting on precarious edges, or use them to make edges more precarious! This pilot is unlocked in the campaign, if you’ve already beat the campaign you’ll automatically have access.
  • Added a new pilot, the Banker, who gains 1g per 5 seconds per economy building out on the map. Stack them with gold mines and banks for maximum gold output. The Banker can be unlocked from the Armory.
  • Added a new building, the Fortified Mine, it costs more than a regular mine, but has additional health and heals buildings around it over time. The fortified mine can be unlocked from the armory. This one could be tough to balance, so let me know what you guys think after you’ve tried it in battle.
  • AI will now try to use Prince, King, Task Master, and Minionette powers actively
