- Nightly Build - Version .912a - 1 August 2017
Hi All, This nightly build opens up some really fun possibilities for you. We've created a spawnPrefab function, which can be called on orbs at any time. It takes a name, finds the prefab with that name, and spawns it at the location of the orb. For example: orb.spawnPrefab("TDSimpleCroaker"); ...will create an aggressive croaker at the orb. We've exposed all these things you can summon, so try them out!

- Nightly build out -- version 0.912 - 26 July 2017
Hi all, We've put together another nightly build with some cool improvements. Survival 1) The ways that spawns would show up at night was annoying. They would show up behind you sometimes, and seemed too random and unexpected. Now meteors come from mysterious location, and crash near you. These create portals from which a limited number of croakers spawn. This should also take care of the frame rate issues you get when you have too many monster spawns on scene. (Also added a really cool screenshake effect here for the impact) 2) Increased the amount of life mana you start with. It seemed too difficult prior to this. 3) Removed night-time monster spawning from Sandbox. 4) Monsters now may target your towers with spells, or attacks. This currently doesn't mean much, since the spells cast aren't physically disruptive, and towers have to be "toppled" to be destroyed. Misc UX 1) Made some of…

- CodeSpells Version 0.911 -- Nightly Branch - 18 July 2017
Hi All! We've been working hard on a fun and challenging single-player experience, and we ended up settling on a survival-game-meets-tower-defense sort of experience, where towers can cast spells. A big question we've gotten is if towers can be made to cast any spell. Currently, the answer is "no", but we are planning on making that happen at some point. Here are the build's changes: Gameplay: -Survival mode (currently it's "roguelike", but the plan is to make the experience more like survival sim where you can save your world) -Limited-shot spells (for placing towers, and studying spells on scannable things) -NPC chat system (your staff talks to you and gives you advice) -Made more environment things destructible Audio: -Footstep/attacking sounds for Croakers and Rock Beasts. -Ambience sounds -NPC chat sounds Performance: -We got rid of dynamic water. It was slowing things down at cert…

- CodeSpells Version 0.904 -- Nightly/Default Branch - 14 April 2017
This version rebases both the nightly, or default branches of CodeSpells. At this version they are on in the same. In this version we are taking a step back with multiplayer. One of the things we did was changing out the ui engine to make development easier in the long run. In doing so, we chose to regress multiplayer since the veins of multiplayer were intertwined with the old ui system. We want to rebuild multiplayer to be peer-to-peer rather than peer-to-server anyhow. Therefore, we opted to remove multiplayer features at this point rather than rebuilding them within the new ui framework. In addition to that change, we made the following: More interesting creature interaction: -Creatures can be slammed into the ground, and will be dealt damage based on collisions (Before, certain like the ground would not cause damage to creatures) -New rocky giant creature, which has a ragdoll Bugs:…

- 1st CodeSpells Tournament Results - 25 July 2016
We were so excited to hold our first ever 1v1 Wizard Tournament earlier this month! In case you missed it, here are the results: 1st Place: @HalfBloodPrince 2nd Place: @egpimp 3rd Place: @fdervb As winner of the tournament, HalfBloodPrince has chosen a spell to be included in the official release of CodeSpells. Keep an eye out for "Elemental Globe by HalfBloodPrince" in the release! HalfBloodPrince was also awesome enough to share some words with us about his CodeSpells experience so far: For a while now I could not find any game that would instantly interest me. I am a big fan of games that allow wide range of customisation, either to the character, abilities, play style, etc. Besides I love games where the character has wacky abilities and always wished I could customise them and/or make my own. And that is where CodeSpells comes in - a game that combined my (basic) knowledge of codin…
