Version 0.8.1096 (defense mode test)

The new game mode has been added on a test build called "Defense mode test" (see bottom of post on how to enable)

Changes

• Changed display of large numbers to make them more clear

• Fixed squad member getting confused

• Added first version of defense mode (early development stage)

• Added button bindings to control settings for defense mode menus

Defense mode

Defense mode currently starts with a reasonable amount of money and a later wave to make it a bit easier to test out different things. Default controls for menus:

• (V) Open Shop menu

• (B) Open Build/Item menu

• (P) Start Wave

Controls can be changed through the control settings menu.

Known issues

• Not balanced yet, prices are pretty far off and enemy waves need balancing.

• Menus don't completely work with controllers yet

• Co-op is currently disabled (untill the menus are fixed for controllers)

• Can't repair/upgrade turrets yet

• Can't build walls yet

• Weapons still have unlimited ammo, will be changed to fixed amount per time you buy in the shop and ammo drops from enemies.

• Mission target doesn't work properly yet (removed the target for now).

• No top scores yet

I'll be putting patches up weekly on the defense mode test build untill it's done. Any ideas to make the game mode better are more than welcome on the forums.
