Performance Optimization

v0.68 Big Update
New Features
1. Battle Rules
Endless mode now supports custom add battle rules! These rules can affect the defense tower or enemy generation rules, or even the presence of additional elements on the field, and the player is free to combine these rules to create new challenges.
2. Weekly Challenge
Add weekly challenge to Endless mode! The weekly challenge has a different set of battle rules, where you can hit the weekly leaderboard. Of course, you can also customize endless mode, but the score will not count on the leaderboard.
3. Custom Recipe
All modes now support selecting the recipe you wish to participate in the battle, properly selecting the recipe will streamline your recipe pool, but at least 1 recipe per level will be required.
4. Technology Reconfigured
We have reconfigured the technology system, first combining the effects of most technologies into one, and now the effects of abnormal technologies will be different from those of normal technologies. Second, a technology specific to each refactor turret was added, which would only enhance that particular refactor turret.
New Technology
1) Legendary Cannon: This technology from the future brings the latest research from Dr. Backhand. This gives you a special refactor turret that can gain tokens and even teleport enemies.
2) Quantum Barrel: now increases the attack speed of all reconstructed towers
3) Exclusive technology for 12 refactor turrets
Element Chip
In the last version, "Element Overload" was almost a mandatory technology, and additional skill slots were also important for gameplay, with the addition of element chips. Every 20 waves will now automatically gain an elemental chip, which can be used to unlock elemental skill slots in any refactor turret.
Content Change
1. "Unreal Structure" will now randomly create a new elemental skill as well as its element combinations, but will no longer gain perfect element.
2. Element bonuses have been reduced from 100/200/300% to 100/175% /250%
3. "24K base" 's trigger time now based on the current wave number
4. "Scatter" has removed the firerate increase effect (added proprietary technology instead), firerate increased: 0.35/0.38/0.42- > 0.5/0.45/0.475
5. "Sniper" has removed the range increase effect (added proprietary technology instead), range increased: 4- > 6
6. "Ultra" will now trigger a jumping bullet every 5 attacks or once frozen
7. "Coordinator";s effect will be based on the number of elemental skills, firerate decreased: 1/1.2/1/4- > 0.9/0.65/0.75
8. The "wheel gun" has been reworked so that it no longer randomly fires bullets but instead deals splash damage with itself as the center
9. "Ice Breaker" attack increased: 2200/3300/4800- > 4500/6500/9600, and optimized the algorithm to make it return faster for long-range attacks
10. "Behemoth" removed splash damage improved effect (added proprietary technology instead), storm trigger interval increased by 0.5- > 1 second, attack increased: 600/900/1350- > 1300/2000/3000
Bug Fixed
1. Some of the technology effects can be reversed by undoing refactor issues
Game Improvement
1. Optimized the problem that the guiding arrow of the route sometimes deviates
2. Optimized some sound playback errors
About future Plans
1. Performance optimization
Endless mode tends to stall when there are too many elements on the same screen at the end of the game, we will try to optimize the game performance in the near future.
2. New recipes and enemies
Gradually added new refactor recipes and enemies
3. Skill Design
The existing element skills have a fairly similar mix of effects in terms of experience, and we want to rework about 50% of the skills so that they have a relatively different experience.
4. New Mode
Endless mode is often too long a challenge for experienced players, and a shorter, strategy-focused mode is planned for the future.
v0.62 Small Update
1. Fixed an issue where Perfect Rhythm would retain a perfect element even after save and load
2. Fix an exception that may occur when pressing the next wave and build module buttons at the same time
3. Fixed an issue where undoing refactor would still trigger Perfect Loop and Recycle Plan's effects
Other Optimization
1. Adjusted the selection interaction of the handbook system
V0.61 Medium Update
Refactor has been loved by a lot of players since its launch, which gives me a lot of inspiration. Tower Defense is one of my favorite genres, and I'm glad to be able to share the joy I feel with you. At the same time, I received a lot of valuable feedback, and it made me realize that the game still has a lot of room for improvement. Here are some of my thoughts:
Game Balance
Most of the content is in a balanced position at the moment, but there are definitely some towers/element skills/technologies that are significantly stronger or weaker than others. In version 0.61, I will try to bring these deviations back to a reasonable range.
Endless Mode
The difficulty curve of the Endless mode is still tight in the first and middle stages, but once the turrets are formed, the difficulty curve becomes less challenging in the later stages, making the overall playtime very long. In version 0.61, the difficulty curve of the Endless mode will be much tighter, the difficulty will be significantly higher in the later stages, and the leaderboard will be reset weekly.
Future Plans
This update is still focused on improving the existing experience and fixing bugs, so it probably won't come as much of a surprise to veteran players. The adjustment is a slow process that will continue in the future. As for the new content, thank you very much for giving us a lot of ideas. We are also doing design planning and development based on our own considerations, so we will gradually add new content in the subsequent version.
