Northend Tower Defense

Update V1.1


Greetings commanders,

Thank you for supporting us and enjoying the V1.0 release. As we promised we will keep looking into bugs and optimization and any arising issues. Here's the changes and fixes in this update:


A lot of changes in the UI

We got a lot of feedback on texts clarity and size, here's the changes made:


- Changed the text color in the units descriptions in loadout
- Changed the text color in options
- Changed map names colors
- Increased the size of units blocks in loadout



Changes in tutorial:

-We changed the tutorial steps to make it more clear and less confusing by hiding some elements and showing them in appropriate times. Hopefully this will make the tutorial easier.


Gameplay:

- Player's unit health now will turn red when its less than halfway through, to indicate that it's in danger, so you can take action when it happens.

- Added an arrow to indicate the direction of the unit's before deploying.


Hopefully these changes will improve and ease the new players experience. Also we are still collecting reports and feedback from our players.


Enjoy gaming,
