After doing exciting things like level design for a few weeks, it's time to go back to game design. Towers and foes can have modifiers applied to their stats! Later on I'll talk more about math and balancing the game around this.
I record these a bit in advance, but if you want to suggest things go for it! If you want to follow along (or do something similar), this is using GMS 2.3 because the new language features are really nice.
Repository (as of the last time I worked on it, which is a few episodes ahead of this video):

Each week is going to be listed as a "release."

This was not my best moment in video games.
Mishaps aside, here are the Sea Slide and Dusty Dune Purple Coin missions!

I've been kinda busy with game dev lately, so for the sake of the let's plays not being on accidental indefinite hiatus here's one that I recorded and edited a while ago just in case of a rainy day. This is the prequel DLC to a game that I played several years ago, Celestian Tales: Old North!

In a really weird way, I'm glad Mumkhar was killing me quickly in most of these fights. It doesn't feel like as much of a sunk cost this way. Also, it's still incredible how long I've been playing this game without knowing how it works.

We collect enough mask face things to unlock Poseidon's Gate, and start exploring the snowy area! Which is in the south, interestingly. I made the joke about being in the southern hemisphere but I'm pretty sure being geographically correct was not high on the priority list for this game's map design.
Feel free to talk about what you think about the game in the comments, but please avoid spoilers for at least a month or so after this video is published, I know some of you played most/all of the demo and have a pretty good idea how it goes. I'd like to find out for myself.
The game can be found on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/432350/
And the free version on Matt's web site:

I do live streams sometimes! I haven't in a really long time though so I should probably remove this link.
