My solo project roguelike tower defense game is having a free prologue

store.steampowered.com Towerful Defense: Prologue on Steam

A tower defense action roguelike where you control a single tower to fight against hordes of aliens coming from all directions. Pick your tower, equip up to 4 skills, and choose from a variety of traits and items to craft powerful builds that lead you to victory.

Hello, I've been working on the game, Towerful Defense: A Rogue TD, for almost a year now. I'm about to release the game after Steam's Next Fest in June. And I'm about to release a free version of it, a prologue in May 8th. You can wishlist the prologue now to get notified on the launch day.

I'll answer any question you have about the game here :)

Games @lemmy.world It's out now! The prologue for my solo project, a roguelike tower defense, is live. Check it out.

Reminds me of Heretic's Fork.

What made you decide to release a separate free app vs a demo on the original app? Not critiquing the choice, just curious what the reasoning could be.

I looked at the trailers and I think it would be helpful if your towers and other friendly buildings / units have a different coloured orb compared to enemies. I found it very hard to distinguish between friend or foe. That could be less impactful when playing, but first impressions leave me slightly confused. Put it on my wishlist!

- Hey, thank you for adding it to your wishlist. I created a separate app to help promote the main game, it's quite a common practice in indie's marketing on Steam. Even Valve, not officially, but does recognize it while we communicate with their reviewers.

  For some reason I was thinking the prologue would stop being available at release like a demo, but that's just my sprinkled size brain being tired. I totally get it now, thanks
