Fortress Heroes
About this game
Fortress Heroes is a tower defense game for smartphones where players must summon and merge various heroes to defend their fortress from invading waves of goblins. The title features six unique heroes, each behaving differently: an archer that shoots arrows, a builder that assembles barriers to block enemy advances, an alchemist that creates poisonous puddles, a hero that holds the power of lighting, etc…
Players can setup their defenses using a combination of these heroes, taking advantage of the synergies they create. Each hero also features special attack that can be trigger on command. After completing a level, playes can also upgrade the defenses of the fortress itself, ensuring upcoming enemies are attacked even if all the heroes are overwhelmed.
Level Design
For this title I was in charge of the programming, the design of the different hero mechanics, and the enemy behaviours. To ease the process of creating levels, I built a level-editor tool for the designers of the team. This allowed my team to design wave patterns very intuitively, as it was developed to behave as if it were a painting software.
