Light+ TD

• Well, that's it :)
  December 07, 2022 by eragnarok

  Just wanted to write a post to say that Light+ TD will be no more. Shifting focus to the new project, Galactic TD . Over the past year I've been working on and off to recreate the original Starland TD... Continue reading
• Update
  July 07, 2020 by eragnarok

  Just a short update. The master server for playing online games has moved to a different location, and with that a new update. Please use this version to play online. Thanks! -eragnarok... Continue reading
• Final version
  January 04, 2019 by eragnarok

  Hi everyone, This is it, the final version. It has some small balancing updates (air and frost towers got a decent buff) and some other minor things. I think I've pretty much said everything I've need... Continue reading
• Checking in
  December 18, 2018 by eragnarok

  Hi everyone, I know it's been a little while since my last update, just wanted to write something to tell everyone where the project is at. I've been working on this game for longer than I hoped. All... Continue reading
• Minor Update (v1.1.3)
  November 25, 2018 by eragnarok

  Just a minor update, again to do with the build areas. They should be the same as they were in the original starland, allowing a total height of 10 towers on each side. Apologies, and thanks again to... Continue reading
• Minor Update (v1.1.2) + Tournament
  November 24, 2018 by eragnarok

  Hello again, I wasn't expecting to push another update out so soon but this was kinda important. Mitch from the discord noticed that the top player would actually get a whole extra row, allowing them... Continue reading

  Here it is, it's finally done. Light+ TD Version 1.1 I can't begin to describe how good it feels to have finally finished this game. Trello is completely empty, everything (seems) to work, video is ma... Continue reading

  
• 0.8.5.1 Release (this one works)
  November 06, 2018 by eragnarok

  Hey again, Not much to say, just fixed the traversal server issues with the last release. Also, after each game you need to close and restart the game, otherwise you won't be able to host games or con... Continue reading
• 0.8.5 release (early) (DOESN'T WORK)
  November 05, 2018 by eragnarok

  UPDATE: Traversal doesn't work atm, will fix it soon. For now connect with direct IP and forward your ports. It's very strange, it works fine with my dev environment but the build doesn't seem to conn... Continue reading

  
• Beta Update 0.8.3
  October 10, 2018 by eragnarok

  Haha, I promised myself no more updates and that I'd take a break, but this one was justified. I fixed a bug where the pathfinding wouldn't take into account towers that had been deleted, thus causing... Continue reading
• Beta update 0.8.2
  October 08, 2018 by eragnarok

  Hahahaha, these bugs just keep appearing. This one was a dumb one, the air towers would literally shoot any air enemy, whether it was yours or not. So that's fixed now. I'm still getting desync issues... Continue reading

• Project Update + Future of the Project
  September 16, 2018 by eragnarok

  I'm sure you're tired of me saying this now, but the game isn't coming out on Tuesday. I spent parts of the weekend working through the game, and I thought I'd be done with most of the bugs and be fin... Continue reading

  September 11, 2018 by eragnarok

  Release Date Goal: On or before Tuesday 18th of September (+10GMT) Another update, this one good and bad . I'll start with the bad. It's taken a lot longer than I would have liked (173 days as of w... Continue reading

  September 04, 2018 by eragnarok

  Just an image showing some real networking taking place. Sorry for the terrible quality :P -eragnarok... Continue reading

  
• August update and progress
  September 03, 2018 by eragnarok

  I'm back. Looks like it didn't get finished in August :P I've started working on it again, and I'm getting back into the swing of things. I was putting off working on the game because I only wanted to... Continue reading
• Moving Forward and beta release date (EDITED)
  July 17, 2018 by eragnarok

  EDIT: It's not coming out on 01/08/2018, but the beta will be released sometime in August. It's not that there's a massive mountain of work to do (more like a hill), it's actually finding the time to... Continue reading
• Progress Report
  July 09, 2018 by eragnarok

  Just dropping a note to let everyone know this is still being worked on. Single player isn't finished yet but everything game-mechanic-wise is done. It's literally just a matter of balancing the diffi... Continue reading

  June 21, 2018 by eragnarok

  Just checking in for the week and letting everyone know I'm still working on the game. I'm gonna be dropping some actual gameplay footage this weekend so everyone can see where the game is currently a... Continue reading
• Minor Update (Non-game related)
  June 11, 2018 by eragnarok

  I bought a new laptop! It was very cheap (< $200) but it works very well and means I can program on the train to work :D This also means more updates :D Since before the only times I could work on the... Continue reading
• Back at it
  June 02, 2018 by eragnarok#tower defense, #love2d, #update

  I'm back :D Actually I've been back for about 2ish weeks. I took a much longer break from working on the game that I thought I would. To be honest I nearly gave up on the project entirely as it starte... Continue reading

  
• First look at networking!
  April 22, 2018 by eragnarok#networking, #tower-defense, #vector-td

  Networking! I'm glad I've reached this point now. In the above screenshot the left game window is the server, and the right window is the client. Basically all it does now is talk to each other, and t... Continue reading

  
• What's green and has wheels?
  April 14, 2018 by eragnarok#tower defense

  Grass, I lied about the wheels. I also lied about implementing networking in this update (sorry). I realised there was something crucial missing from the game that was in the original starland td, whi... Continue reading

  
• First piece of gameplay
  April 08, 2018 by eragnarok#Tower Defense, #Creeps

  Finally, some actual gameplay! Not a whole lot to show, but now we actually have towers shooting at creeps (woah!). Next up: Networking :) -eragnarok... Continue reading

  
• Creep Movement
  March 31, 2018 by eragnarok#enemy, #path-finding, #tower-defense

  I'm back! Decided to take a week long break to refresh myself. Didn't want to turn this project into a daily routine (otherwise I'd get sick of working on it). Not a huge update but I've added in enem... Continue reading

  
• Deletion + Optimization
  March 25, 2018 by eragnarok#path-finding, #dijkstra, #tower-defense

  Deletion now works! Plus I optimized the code a bit more. It does still slow down when the whole map is filled with towers ( < 1 second lag for connecting newly created nodes together and working thr... Continue reading

  
• AI Path Finding
  March 22, 2018 by eragnarok#path finding, #ai, #dijkstra, #nodes

  First post! Finally, after a few days of tinkering around with the algorithm, looking up pseudo-code online, fighting with C++ and getting some help from friends, I've managed to properly implement pa... Continue reading
