I would say the first alpha is about 80% done at this point and will be released as a teaser with some minor issues and missing features (since I don't have some needed code i left at home, mainly the ability to save) But here is a feature list for the new version over the last version.
- First of all everything in the old version will be in the new version except the alpha will only have one map as all the other map files I left at home.
- I added the much requested feature to be able to hold down a directional button and have the cursor scroll further automatically. I'm not sure how fast to have this scroll so any comments on the feature would be MUCH appreciated.
- Tower selection will only be available through a menu, the purpose being to vastly clean up the bottom of the screen.
- Much cleaner menus
- All the general speed ups mentioned before.
Additional features for the final version include a menu to play your music in game, saving, a second game mode and more maps, and a few more graphical updates.
The alpha should HOPEFULLY be released by Wednesday (earlier if possible, later if I can't get internet when we cross into Canada)
Code will be released with the official release of 2.0.0, NOT with alphas/betas.
