Mainframe Defenders Devlog: Progression System Part 1
[ 2019-12-03 22:24:15 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hi and welcome to small Mainframe Defenders development diary =D
If you've played the demo, you may find that after a while the game becomes a bit stale. You've played all missions, tried all items and upgrades, and there is not much to discover now.
To reignite this sense of discovery, I've added a progression system to Mainframe Defenders. The system is pretty straightforward but serves its purpose well enough. The items are unlocked by spending a certain amount of "research points". After each run, you earn research points, depending on your performance. The amount earned also scales with difficulty, so more challenge gives you faster progression.
While some items that were present in the demo are unlockable in full version, there are also a lot of new unlockable items with completely new mechanics. This hopefully will enable some interesting combinations. For example, a new unlockable Skadi item makes a unit completely immune to overheat damage. You can combine it with Brazier which gains bonus damage depending on your heat for the insane damage boost. You have to be careful though, as you are still technically overheated, and will receive damage from Plasma Residue stacks.

MAINFRAME DEFENDERS - tactical retrofuturistic strategy game.
A computer virus have infiltrated Microlinc Dynamics AI controlled research complex. While AI itself is intact, most of its subservient units are controlled by virus. Lead squad of 4 prototype units on mission to defend complex mainframe. You'll have to repel assaults, destroy unit fabricators, download valuable data, clear infected nodes and do more on your way to deepest parts of the complex. Work around item limitations and drawbacks to build powerful combinations. Destroy your enemies with diverse tactics: overheat them, melt with corrosion, absorb damage and return fire. But don't rely on a single strategy too much - enemies might have a way to counter it. But above everything else: defend the Mainframe!
* RETRO STYLE: Graphics, inspired by 80s terminal PC with hybrid synthwave soundtrack.
* DIVERSE TACTICS: Cook enemy robots to death, bury them under your bullets, eliminate with single powerful shot, or render your opponents useless with debuffs - this game is designed with a lot of viable strategies in mind.
* BUILD YOUR SQUAD: Similar to how in card games you have to build your deck, in MAINFRAME DEFENDERS you have to combine different items with unique abilities, to create unstopable squad. Work around item drawbacks or double down on them, creating flawed, yet powerful build! Over 100 obtainable items in demo version alone!
* UNIQUE ENEMIES: Enemy squad woun't sit idle, though. Each unit have its own role in squad, and designed to couter certain strategies. Pick your targets wisely, or you will lose.
* PROCEDURAL LEVELS: Hand-made rooms are combined with procedural generation to create random levels. Missions have differing objectives, combined with unique mission conditions. Will you accept the challenge or avoid the unknown and risk to fall behind?
