New web stats, new UI, new notifications + more

Web service We have been really hard at work behind the scenes to build the foundation for our new aegis-m.com statistics website. When you finish a game, you now have the option to "Open stats" which will open aegis-m.com and display all fancy statistics about your game. This is very early days and we have loads of cool features and statistics planned (with pretty graphs of course) but we now have the foundation of something amazing that we can build upon! We've even added a feature that will post a live feed of games into our Discord. But what if I don't want people seeing my strategies? Don't worry, we have you covered! When you create a lobby, simply tick the option that states "Mark aegis-m.com stats as private". When we add game browsing onto the site, all hidden games will be excluded from showing. Please note that only the lobby creator will see this option. Example game: https://aegis-m.com/lobby/109775240977948255/ User interface Cleaner, sharper text? Check. Improved end game statistics? Check. Updated notifications? This update has it all. We've gone through and updated loads of user interface elements, reworked the shop window, added sounds, new and improved notification message prompts, everything!
Airstrikes We knew airstrikes were hard to use, unintuitive and expensive. We wanted to fix all that, so in this update we have reduced the damage, cost and range of airstrikes and made them as simple as pressing the Airstrike key (default Q), aim with the mouse and click - the way it should have been!
Network improvements Some people don't realise that the networking in this game is what's called peer-to-peer. It means we don't have fancy servers that host your game, you connect to each other directly (if you get disconnects or lag, try not to play with someone who is the other side of the world). To that effect, any network improvements we can make will help the reliability of such connections/games. In this update, we have massively reduced the amount of network messages that are sent which should make games more stable. Sorry! As a side note, due to the amount of bug fixes and major changes in this release, unfortunately you will have to do you config files again so make sure you go into the new options window and set your crosshairs, video and audio preferences. This should hopefully never need to be done again. Luckily it only takes 30 seconds.

AegisM is a competitive tower defence game with a twist. It combines tower defence with a wave survival/top down action shooter and then adds more new and exciting elements to the mix. Work alone or team up with others to work out the best strategy to achieve the highest scores on the never ending survival leaderboards. Once you're ready to prove yourself even more, you can take to the Player vs Player mode with competitive matchmaking and ELO ratings. AegisM is unlike other tower defence games; there are no waves of enemies, it's never ending, gradually getting harder and harder until you can't survive anymore and your strategy fails you.

Unique Bosses

As the game progresses and you last longer, you get introduced to new bosses. Each boss has a unique ability such as speed boosting, protecting, skull distracting and much more. Did we mention you don't just have to worry about land? There's also various types of air units to beat!

Skill Points

At the start of every game you get to spend 5 skill points on making your character unique. Put points into movement speed, reduced reload speed, build cost reduction, movement speed and more! Build a character around your style of play.

Achievements and Unlockables

Earn experience, gain levels, unlock new characters, magical powers and abilities that help you defeat the never ending horde of enemies! Achievement progress is displayed in game so you can see how far off you are from unlocking the character you want.

Multiple Towers, each with 3 levels

There's currently 11 different types of tower, each with 3 levels. See the stats for every tower, which player owns it, what the range of the tower is and what will happen if you upgrade it, simply by clicking it. You can also configure shortcut keys to speed build and upgrade.

Character Abilities

Once unlocked through experience, you can select from various abilities that help aid your fight. These include slow dome, teleporters, dash, barriers and radars.

Magical Powers

Once unlocked through experience, you can select from various magical powers that compliment abilities and your character customisation. These include golem smash, ice block, heal base, character rage and a coin collector.

Multiple Environments with Dynamic Weather

Fight it out in the Forest, Desert or even indoors in the crypts! There's a full day and night cycle (this only affects the game visually), along with rain and snow - the world you're fighting in feels alive! There's also interactive elements such as lifts, dynamically changing levels and flame walls to add yet more variety.

Vendor with a huge selection of weapons

Don't like tower defence, want a hybrid strategy, or just simply enjoy shooting? Use your coins to buy weapons instead of towers and do the shooting yourself! There's a pistol, rifle, shotgun, laser, railgun and flame thrower to use. Lets not forget to mention the grenades, mines and air strikes that you can purchase!

Incredible replayability and a huge range of strategies

We have players who have put 100's (yes, 100's) of hours into working out the best strategies so don't be put off if you don't score top 10 on your first go. AegisM is incredibly competitive with worldwide leaderboards. As you play more and more, you start working out what you need to do to survive longer. Will you build towers only or go hybrid with guns? Will you shoot guns only? When will you upgrade that tower?

Mini Games

There is an ever growing list of competitive mini games that range from shooters to maze and timed type of games. Each mini game has a competitive leaderboard, so you can even show the world you're the fastest builder or runner out there.

Streamer vs Twitch mode

Are you a streamer? Well start interacting with your viewers with the Streamer vs Twitch mode! Every 3 minutes your chat gets to vote on what enemy they would like to send you. If you defeat it you score a point but if the enemy they have sent you reaches your base, the chat scores a point! Who will win? Please note this mode is not competitive but more of a fun mode for some streamers.

Completely Balanced

The game has been in development for just short of 5 years with around 150 beta testers. We have spent years perfecting the balance, how things scale over time and changing costs to ensure that there are no silly strategies such as only placing one tower or only buying one gun. You can only last so long with that arrow tower or rifle!
