Step 2: realise you may have to iterate
Step 3: get it done quicker in 3D

Us entrepreneurs are inherently gamblers. We bet on ourselves and our ideas, and make decisions which often seem illogical to others.

A much more elaborate iteration of the tower defence simulator for Node Defenders.
I’ve added a fancy algorithm to run several different configs in the bg and give me an optimal one.

Working on the difficulty scaling for Node Defenders after taking a break and messing with shaders.
Pacing the game is quite challenging so let’s see how that goes.
