Welcome to Hero Tower Defense Thursday!


Go here to read Day 33 of Hero Tower Defense Thursday.

Ok, so clearly its Friday lol. I was away all Thursday so didnt have a chance to write the post and Sam was busy as well so we just put the update off till today. So, well just pretend its still Thursday :P

Ok then, weve added the Light Skills. Probably the first thing youll notice is the graphics for the effects and icons are a tad different than the rest.. as in they either arent there or are very basic. Dont worry though, theyre just placeholders while the final versions are being developed. The Native Light Skill increases the Physical and Magical Damage of the target.

Weve also picked up another artist who will be helping us out with HTD graphics (we need a lot of them :D). So without further ado, welcome Evan! Hes actually a friend of Bills and is excited to be working with us on our games. Creating art for a game is very time consuming and tends to require more people than other areas so were happy to have artists such as Bill and Evan helping Kevin out.

Nature Skills will be coming up next and with those well finally have all the Native and Tier 1 skills available for each element. Weve got several other things in the works so dont worry too much if you dont see the %s in the progress lists below changing much. Thats just a list of some of the more major things that are currently in the works. Sometimes we have to do a bunch of smaller things that we dont bother listing there.

Thanks everyone!
