The first stable enough version after the Godot rewrite is here! It’s not very stable, but good enough to play again. Plus, there’s music.

Check out the Bestagon Website:https://bestagon.alchemix.dev/updates/alpha/v2.0-godot.0

I never like writing these as I have to look back and see just how long ago I wrote the last update/release, and it’s always far longer than I’d like.If you hadn’t heard, the reason the update was quite so long this time around was because I decided to rewrite the game for Godot.I don’t regret it, but I can’t recommend it. I have now reached a state where I believe the game is playable, but there’s still a lot of work to go.Please let me know if you encounter something that’s broken (and not listed here).I will aim to be a little faster on updates and work on restoring full functionality as soon as I can while also enhancing as I go.

Stuff that should work

Yes, this will look a lot like basic tower defence stuff, but I’ve had to make sure it all works again with Godot, so please let me know if it doesn’t.

You should be able to open the shop
You should be able to place turrets
Turrets should hit their targets
You can move & zoom the camera on Desktop
Most UI
Spawning mobs
Death (and lives lost)
Upgrading turrets (with modules)
Restarting the level on game over

Stuff that won’t be included

Balance. I don’t plan on holding up new features to do a massive balance overhaul each update, however I would like to pop a few changes in if I get a chance. So please do send your balance thoughts, what works, what doesn’t.
Lancer. I didn’t get a chance to implement rotation so it can only shoot up. Otherwise it should work, so I’ve excluded it.
Selling. The button won’t do anything
Mobile. I haven’t done any work for this as I wanted the core built on one platform first. Sadly it’s just not something I can prioritise just yet.
Wave & Countdown text (wave count appears on game over)
UI Enhancements.
Any other scene than the Upgrade level
Leaderboards (likely coming next)
Discord Integration

New Stuff

Bullet trails
Hover animation for tiles
- Because of how this works, this does move the turret (and therefore it’s range)
MUSIC! It’s just one track atm, and without music controls (sorry).

Known Bugs

I’ll put anything here that I expected to work that doesn’t.
