High Tide v.9 Release!

High Tide 2024

We have worked on this game sporadically over the last 2 years since initially completing it for a game jam. This update aims to fix core problems with the original project and overhaul the UI along with the audio!

UI Updates

• Custom cursor and shovel cursor for sand collecting
• Complete overhaul of tower UI, selected towers from shop now appear on cursor with associated range for better placing
• Selecting already placed towers now show tower's range and pop up includes more options and reformatted information
• New audio adjustment option on pause menu
• Credits on the main page
• Repositioned resource UI and boldened text where appropriate

Sound Updates

• Modified firing sound effects for multiple towers
• Changed sound effect for collecting items left by the tide
• Added sound effects for fixing towers and selling them

Towers

• Selected towers show their current range
• Ability to sell towers 
• Sand shooter, clam catapult, and stick shooter firing sounds modified
• Multiple small bug fixes, including a big one with selecting targets for the oil tower

Sand Collection

• Sand mounds now appear randomly on the beach, hover over and click on them to collect sand for purchasing towers

Next Steps

There are some small bugs that need to be fixed and a lot more UI components we want to update. Furthermore, we want to add a score tracker with a high score feature. Lastly,  the game needs economy and combat balancing. Overall we will continue to work on this sporadically.  Thank you!
