I’m not sure. Neither of the games have been updated for over a week. I checked my save and it’s still there. You might try creating another save game, completely closing your browser, reopen the browser, and see if your new save is still there.

It’s also possible you have a program like CCleaner that automatically deletes your cookies when you close a web browser.

Hmm…very interesting, I should have looked at that closer. The optimizer multiplier should probably be reduced by 5%. Not sure if I want to go back retesting that though.

I can’t really make it additive since towers fire at drastically different speeds.

Nice catch.

I’ve changed these to percents in the new version to make it clearer what’s happening. It was working correct before, but it was confusing because the global cooldown upgrade reduces the 20 second reduction to 15 seconds. At level 1 (200 seconds) the global cooldown reduction is 50 seconds (for a total of 150 seconds), but at level 2 (180 seconds) the global cooldown reduction is 45 seconds (for a total of 135 seconds).

the monster modes aren’t so hard. I beat all of them and got all the data cores that you would get for challenge mode. You just need to think and it even hints to use weaker first and such. Draw out their attacks with weak monsters then send some stronger ones but not to strong in to wipe out the towers

Progress has been good. We’ve found a few small level balance issues while testing but hope to get them resolved soon.

Currently, we’re planning for a release either next weekend (13th) or the weekend after (20th). Almost there. :)

I did update the game a few days ago to fix some bugs I found while working on the sequel. The game was saving when it shouldn’t and memory leak sometimes didn’t stack (only happened 1 out of 60 times, but still).

I added a few of the visual updates from the sequel as well. I’m not sure I’ll ever get around to adding all the updates that are present in the sequel but I figure I might as well add some of the easier ones. I do worry that might make it seem like less has changed in the sequel, but overall I think it’s still worth it.

Not quite just yet. :(

I’m currently guessing it’ll be 2-3 weeks before I’ll be ready to start sending out the beta.

I just keep finding things to tweak. Adding a new enemy last week probably didn’t help either. But it was too cool to not add.

The sequel is still coming along, although always slower than I’d like. I’m at the stage now where there’s not much more to add. I just need to play through it over and over again until I no longer find things to fix. Of course right now that doesn’t take more than a few minutes before I find something to tweak. That’s probably going to go on for at least a few more weeks and then I’ll start bringing in beta testers.

Yeah, that’s what I meant; different settings for which sort of target an individual tower prefers. Maybe even make them upgrades, though you’d probably need a spare slot set aside for it. I don’t want to influence you that much since you really know what makes a game worthwhile. Just some ideas.

Oh, thought of something… for the slower per upgrade mechanic, make sure recycled ones don’t add to the count, just the ones in play. Not that selling happens very often in my experience, but it would be annoying to have a long recharge because you had a lot of something at one point.

one idea i had about the colors proplem was that all the slot changed colors all the time, but only showed the upgrade colors you can still place on the tower (ex: if you had a tower that can hold two upgrades and already had a red one, the other upgrade slot would flash green and blue)
