Infinitode 2 - Major Update 1.9.0 and Season 3 with lots of balance changes

-
Image
The update which took a year of development is finally here! It focuses on a much better balance and some new gameplay features. Modding support has also been improved and we are steadily moving to something big . Season 2 ends Jul 29 and the server will stop accepting new replays. Next season starts in a couple of days after and will require the game to be updated if you want to participate in the leaderboards. It will take some time for the iOS and Android builds to be verified by the app markets, but Steam version of the game will be available immediately. This should not give any advantage in the next season, but Steam players will receive a joy of competition in an almost empty leaderboards. Season 2 rewards and badges will be issued shortly after Season 3 starts - I need to make sure everything will work correctly and you won't miss a well deserved reward. Another announcement will be made later with the list of Season 2 winners. Update 1.9.0 changelist TL;DR; New map editor ...

The state of things As we have mentioned before through the in-game news of Infinitode 2, we are currently busy supporting Infinitode 2 and preparing it to be released in China. In the meantime, Infinitode 3 is being in development, and this blog is meant to shed some light on this process.  It is been a long time since the last update for Infinitode 2 has came out but things will change soon.

As soon as it gets released, I'll begin to work on the next update for Infinitode 2. But, enough talking about that, something tells me you are here to know more about the next game. Infinitode 3 (name is not final) Another (tower defense) game where I'll do my best to use all of the prior experience and your feedback to create something even better.  Currently this game is in its early stage of the ...

ITD3 Dev news #2 - Performance survey results

-
Infinitode 2 has been running a device survey since Aug '22 with the consent of the players. Thanks to everyone who have participated in our survey! Survey results are available at  dev.prineside.com/performance_report   The purpose of this survey The collected data will help us better understand which devices we should aim for and which features we should / should not use in our upcoming game. I've also made it publicly available, just in case anyone would need it too. Conclusions Note: all of the statistics are collected from the devices supported by Infinitode 2. Although its requirements are quite low, some of the older / low end devices were not taken into account which makes these statistics slightly off the real-world values.   Applying the filters according to the Infinitode 3 requirements shows that 98.96% of Desktop and 96.22% of Android Infinitode 2 players will still be able to play the sequel Android Documentation states that OpenGL ES 3.0 should be sup...
