I suspect the rest of us will be using the unit editor primarily to alter the hue of mech interior lights, and paint our angry houses a fetching shade of pink or puce. Tailoring units to increase their range, survivability or destructive punch is what all the sensible COs will be doing. I want my Tower Defence game to feel more like an RTS” It's not just a case of learning the puzzle. the tens of thousands of combinations should give incredible longevity. As Cliff explained “I like not knowing what's coming next. The artistry will come in how you buff the basic designs with special augmentations. For instance, when we scan the beam weapon selection, instead of screen full of enigmatically titled models, we're likely to find ourselves confronted with just two or three blueprints. Aware that some Gratuitious Space Battlers found the myriad build choices befuddling, Cliff is aiming for a simpler, more logical construction system this time.
