What happens when you fuse a modular brick-building sandbox with a tactical Tower Defense game? We dig into the core design philosophy of how towers should actually look and behave in a world made of blocks, solve a massive pathfinding challenge using some clever math, and throw a bunch of chaotic ideas at the wall to see what sticks. This episode covers: The Pivot: Why I walked away from the cozy genre to build a game I actually want to play. The Stacking System: Solving the tower menu vs. multi-block dilemma with a modular modifier system. Flow Fields vs A:* Implementing a high-performance pathfinding algorithm for enemy swarms. Patreon members across all tiers will be getting access to a playable demo of this prototype in the near future—hop in if you want to test the build and help shape the game!
