So, as of this update, I can safely say I have achieved what I set out to do with Bestagon Defence. Make a tower defence game that I want to replay. A rather personal goal, but as I was balancing the Upgrade level, and testing it’s balance, I really enjoyed trying to get as far as possible. After the break in development, I also really enjoyed coming back and playing the game. So on a personal level, I’ve made a game I enjoy just playing and that I can play quite a few times before getting bored.

In terms of making a tower defence, with selling, we’ve got the basics! We’ve got enemies, waves, bosses in different levels, as well as a decent-sized turret pool & upgrade selection. We’ve got a few levels with different balance & waves, as well as leaderboards! Obviously there’s still work to be done, but I feel like Bestagon Defence has certainly reached a decent level in terms of the basics, we’ve smashed it.

But what do other people think? Some would say this is the most important thing when making a game, but for me, in this project, it didn’t matter if people hated the project, just that I enjoyed it. However, people do like the project, there’s been two donations, 750 page views and almost 300 downloads! On top of that, it’s a 5 star game after 4 reviews. This may not seem like much, but as a game that simply started a project to solve a personal dislike without how repetitive I was starting to find tower defence games, it’s amazing to see other people enjoy it.

And this, I think is cause for celebration! And what better than to ignite the community’s competitive spirit?

What is the competition?

The competition is simply to top the leaderboard! Reach the highest wave on Upgrade! This level is brand new in this update, and will require you to use everything you’ve learnt in previous levels to reach the top!

How does it work?

Once you lose or while playing, you’ll need to screenshot your wave count, and upload it to the competition channel on Discord. That’s it! You’ve now entered. There is a pinned message in the channel detailing what the current scores are.

Are there rules?

Of course there are! To win, you must be in Discord when the competition ends. I will then Direct Message you when I’m next avaliable to do so to confirm prize(s) and give them out. All submissions must be in the latest version, which may be v1.1-alpha.10, but there may be hotfixes. Details on how the hotfix will affect the competition will be announced on Discord. Don’t cheat!
