The first stable enough version after the Godot rewrite is here! It’s not very stable, but good enough to play again. Plus, there’s music.

Check out the Bestagon Website: https://bestagon.alchemix.dev/updates/alpha/v2.0-godot.0

I never like writing these as I have to look back and see just how long ago I wrote the last update/release, and it’s always far longer than I’d like. If you hadn’t heard, the reason the update was quite so long this time around was because I decided to rewrite the game for Godot. I don’t regret it, but I can’t recommend it. I have now reached a state where I believe the game is playable, but there’s still a lot of work to go. Please let me know if you encounter something that’s broken (and not listed here). I will aim to be a little faster on updates and work on restoring full functionality as soon as I can while also enhancing as I go.

Stuff that should work

Yes, this will look a lot like basic tower defence stuff, but I’ve had to make sure it all works again with Godot, so please let me know if it doesn’t.

• You should be able to open the shop
• You should be able to place turrets
• Turrets should hit their targets
• You can move & zoom the camera on Desktop
• Most UI
• Spawning mobs
• Death (and lives lost)
• Upgrading turrets (with modules)
• Restarting the level on game over

Stuff that won’t be included

• Balance. I don’t plan on holding up new features to do a massive balance overhaul each update, however I would like to pop a few changes in if I get a chance. So please do send your balance thoughts, what works, what doesn’t.
• Lancer. I didn’t get a chance to implement rotation so it can only shoot up. Otherwise it should work, so I’ve excluded it.
• Selling. The button won’t do anything
• Mobile. I haven’t done any work for this as I wanted the core built on one platform first. Sadly it’s just not something I can prioritise just yet.
• Wave & Countdown text (wave count appears on game over)
• UI Enhancements.
• Any other scene than the Upgrade level
• Leaderboards (likely coming next)
• Discord Integration

New Stuff

• Bullet trails
• Hover animation for tiles
  • Because of how this works, this does move the turret (and therefore it’s range)
• MUSIC! It’s just one track atm, and without music controls (sorry).

Known Bugs

I’ll put anything here that I expected to work that doesn’t.
