Okay, I tried it out for a while(although I lost in like wave 5 or something because I thought my runner would go another way so I stopped watching it for a while.

I have a couple suggestions. You should start out the game by pinging where they enemy is going to appear. I had a hard time understanding where the creeps would come from and if I would lose a life or something if they reached the middle. Those things are easily understandable when you're done with the first wave, but I'd prefer to get that information immediately.
I'll work on that :) Maybe make a toggle able tutorial.
I also think you should increase the time before the first wave spawns. There's a lot of information in f12 as well as tower descriptions to read through. I got so stressed out so I made 3 detector towers in the first wave which made me panic when I realized that they weren't doing any damage.
Hmm, you might be right. I might increase the time, and make it skipable if all players click skip.

Finally, I'd like to mention a small detail. I would prefer if you don't remove the runner between rounds. It should be okay if you just hide it. The reason for this is so that it stays in a control group. Having to re-bind the runner each wave was slightly irritating.
Oh, okay - I guess I'll work on that :) I set the Runner to F3 (I think) for that reason, but I'll look into this :)

Other than that, I felt like it was a nice game and it seemed pretty polished for a beta version. I only tried it out in single player but it felt like it could certainly be a fun game to play with other people.
Thanks for the feedback :)
I played it yesterday with a bunch of people, actually pretty fun, but a little easy, thus the update today :)

NOTE: WOW my map got on 4th place (17th in all games:eek: ) of most played TD... It's in betao_O Dafuq..

I've been asked by quite a few people to take up this project again. While I wont do that just now (As I got a another project running and I find it very borring to work on :rolleyes:) I will most likely upload a version with some of the highly suggested features;
Shared Income
Tutorials

And there might be a new race in the future, but not in the next patch.

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
