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

Based on these findings, I feel it might be best if I work on a new “survival” mode. It’ll help me introduce upgrade mechanics and work on a better ux without affecting the current gameplay

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.

• Guild wars
• Limited-time events
• Seasonal leaderboards
