Castle Constructor Alpha 1.5 Release

Another big update for Castle Constructor. The focus for this one was on improving the gameplay and changing the towers to match the low poly art style.

The card system has been changed from drawing cards from your deck every wave to instead be that you get your entire deck right away but only play your cards once. Along with this the game is now played as a series of shorter levels, called regions, where you get a reward each time you manage to defend a region. For now the only reward is a choice of a new card for your deck but we plan to extend this later to have a variety of different rewards. Additionally the game currently does not end when the last region has been saved/lost. This will be added in a future update.

We have a number of ideas for the next update that will help improve the gameplay even further so stay tuned!

The full list of changes is below:

• Players now start with a deck consisting of 5 stone walls, 3 archers, and 3 battlements
• Players now start with their full deck to play from the start
• Players now have as much time as they want to play their cards before starting the waves
• Waves have been shortened but strengthened.
• Players now earn new cards after each level/region instead of every 5 waves
• The map has been redone to have a number of regions for the player to defend.
• There is now save data that keeps track of the player's deck and the map state.
• A new button has been added to the main menu that players can use to delete existing save data so they can start a new game.
• Increased the game speed by 25% and the camera rotation speed a little.
• Battlements have been updated to make them more distinct in use from the archers. They now fire 3 arrows +1 for each adjacent battlement and fire them all in one volley but they are much less accurate. This makes them better at damaging crowds then archers while being weaker than damaging individual enemies.
• Turrets have had their damage increased from 2 -> 3 so they kill basic enemies in one shot.
• The tutorial has been changed to only be shown for the first level played of each game.
• Cleaned up the UI
• Other minor fixes.
