Version History

Version log of Gem TD after Brownin took over the map.

v1.4 (11/20/2017)

 * This saw the introduction of xp gain being fixed. It works much the same as in the old v4.6, the main difference is that gave units within 6 tiles xp. The new xp gain only grants to units directly next to, above or below the max level gem. This will mean you want at least a 3x3 maze in the center to utilise this effectively.(edited)

v1.5 (11/20/2017)

 * This sees the introduction of stop and start attacking buttons being added to all gems. This will greatly help people to level the correct gems each game. I have tested this and so far haven't found any bugs. I will do some further testing then implement it for all gems. This should be out by end of play 21st Nov 17.

v1.6 (11/23/2017)

 * I fixed the discord link showing below the description when you click the map in arcade.

v1.7 (11/23/2017)

 * Builder XP gain was fixed to allow me to make changes to triggers. (Patch 4.0 had broken this)

v1.8 (11/23/2017)

 * The previous update actually broke the game for people when they levelled, this has been rectified and people are able to level their builder again.

v1.9 (11/23/2017)

 * This fix allowed me to amend air unit movespeed and HP. They have all been set to the same movespeed which is slower(1.75) but then given more HP to counteract this. Will help with air unit pathing.

v1.10 (11/23/2017)

 * The latest fix is the Combo Dialog box which was displaying all text top left in white. This now displays as intended.

v1.12 (11/26/2017)

 * The exp gain area of effect has been increased, with this change I have then halved the amount per kill to 0.5. This helps to stop players getting 16+ level 12 towers and also to lower the rate at which towers level in Swarm mode.

v1.13 (11/28/2017)

 * You are no longer able to build along the diagonal wall, this was causing too many bugs.
 * implemented the Reset Button. Does what it says on the tin
