Devlog 1: More Waves Coming Soon (0.3.0)

Like I said before, I actually made this game before I had much experience making games, so needless to say there are a bunch of problems in my way if I want to make this into something fun. One of these problems is the way I made the waves work. There was a reason I only had three waves: I made the waves super hard to create. Basically I had predefined paths for the enemies to take, and I had predefined timelines of when to spawn each indavidual enemy and its strength. Within the GameMaker: Studio IDE, this was really hard to do. Long story short, I rewrote the whole system, so now I can make waves really easily. I can also displace enemy paths like this:

Anyways, in the future I will make a bunch more balanced waves. Right now I have just arbitrary waves that aren’t balanced at all. I was able to beat my new levels with 13 lives left:

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
