Cave Defender Devlog – Week of November 12, 2018

Since January 1st of this year, I’ve been keeping a log of my daily work on Cave Defender. I’m sharing this log on a weekly basis so you can find out how development is going with the game. In the last week I:

• Posted screenshot saturday. More iteration on the tractor beam defense mesh and behaviour.
• First pass at basic tractor beam logic (implemented simple modifier system)
• Transcribed some of the recent feedback into Trello tasks.
• Got a tractor beam defense spawning in game.
• Feedback from a play session: have a countdown timer - basically indicate how long are you expected to be defending a mine? Maybe too many defense teleporters? Need to start a feedback doc, or maybe just a column in Trello. Worked on the tractor beam logic.
• Applied the health UI changes to the miners.
