Base builder wave defence prototype

This is a very early stage prototype for a wave defence base builder by Mango Moose.

Mechanics

Power supply

Your base has a limited supply of 5 energy that is sent out every tick. This can be sent to power buildings like turrets and factories, or stored in batteries to make use of later. Balancing what you spend your power on is critical for completing the mission.

Building material supply

Buildings require materials to construct. The base will produce these slowly but the rate can be increased by constructing factories and powering them.

Wave defence

The alien life forms are attracted to electromagnetic signals. This means that your base is a tasty food source for them and it won't be long before they come searching for you.

Research materials

Your mission is to harvest the research materials from the area. This material seems to have some very unusual properties and is somehow closely linked with the local lifeforms.

Core themes

I wanted to capture the feeling of diverting your limited power supply around your base to balance expanding, defending, and completing the objectives. 

I also wanted to capture the hectic feeling of player a healer in an MMO.

Feedback

Any feedback is extremely valuable. Please feel free to leave comments on this page, or make use of the form/Discord/email links available through the prototype.
