Nov 1, 2024November 2024 (2024-11) Monthly Summary for Blue-Square-Legion/Tower focused on delivering core gameplay improvements, stability, and UI enhancements that drive player value and streamline development cycles. The month consolidated performance-oriented optimizations, deeper combat interactions, and a cohesive upgrade flow across towers, while advancing pacing and feedback mechanisms for players. Key features delivered and technical wins: - Fire Tower Targeting Reliability and Efficiency: refined range checks and ensured effects apply only to active enemies; updated update loop to run only when enemies are present, enhancing reliability and performance of the targeting system. (Commits: 1b8de304cd1eb0712a85ce9f9186452330b75ccd) - Collision Detection Enablement for Towers and Enemies: enabled and strengthened collision detection for towers and projectiles to improve enemy interactions; added contact detection on enemy prefabs and collider configuration adjustments. (Commits: 56eda941a7a5366c7d957525b52d032d236e37b5, d976c54b7f73f277ab94262f74042a7f655c370d) - Flame Tower Balancing and Range Handling: balanced spawn spacing, enemy speed, and collider behavior post-placement; introduced a reliable 1-second range handling delay to ensure effects apply correctly. (Commit: 39871cdfae1787cea64b9d234cd3cc507fe84e68) - Spike Tower Introduction and Radius Damage Balancing: added Spike Tower prefab and damage logic; balanced base stats, radius damage, and upgrade path to support joint-area damage and progressive improvements. (Commits: 33be35f1a9e36de3bec3b7f1ac0c8a1cbfdee2ec, 94414ff5df9ed85b2a3b46f527872c83f9b7f3a9) - Upgrade Panel UI Overhaul and Targeting Options: revamped upgrade panel with data-driven descriptions and costs, and UI for selecting tower targeting types to improve usability and consistency across upgrades. (Commits: 4b60f0061bf25ae823e4064e55e3eda9e60550f6, 312d2a9ece77ce929d77f0dd649d77185252c3f0, 2675dcf9cac3f387b8feac1c92a67275b3e141f1, fe83980e14be2eb66dff2c75cb9d17261908dd62, 77dfac737ab6cb9bb34512ce1dbcebb04ddf613e, 41c2e6758d77a6486a276852a18c24fa46a76e40, 797d245fd0171bc242386fee8229699361219149) Impact and business value: - Improved reliability and performance of the core targeting systems, reducing missed opportunities and ensuring effects apply to actual threats, which translates to better defensive efficiency and reduced per-enemy processing overhead. - Enhanced player experience and pacing via improved wave display, spawn pacing, and clearer upgrade paths, leading to better replayability and faster balance iteration. - Streamlined user experience for upgrades and targeting configuration, reducing cognitive load and increasing conversion of planned upgrades into in-game actions. - Clear traceability of changes through commit history, enabling faster audits and onboarding for new team members. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Unity C# optimization (update loop efficiency, collider configuration) - Collision detection design and tuning for interactive gameplay - UI/UX overhaul for upgrade interfaces and targeting options with data-driven costs - Gameplay balancing and feature integration for new tower types - Wave management and feedback systems
