Ey everybody, welcome to Iconia Defenders 1st announcement, I hope you all are having a great week!
Before going further, we want to thank you all for reaching this post, and even more if you wishlisted the game. That means a lot for us. And it is a great source of motivation!
We have a couple things to share, one is to showcase our development roadmap for the upcoming months, which you can see in the following picture:

As you can see, it is not a complete end-to-end roadmap, but rather a near-future roadmap. We are right at the beginning, finishing up the details for the core gameplay. Like enemies, drawing cards for gold, the 6 primary tower types, the endless wave system, and ensuring everything works as smooth as possible.
We've got portals! At the beginning of each wave, a new set of portals is opened in the world, creeps will begin to appear once the preparation time finishes. You don't know the order nor how many enemies will come from those places, but you do know where they are going! So take advantage of that! There are 2 types of paths, which will let you know if there are flying or ground enemies coming out from them.

And talking about enemies, we have just finished the flying creeps system. Starting with bats, flying creeps will go through your defenses directly to the your base, and it is your duty to prepare your defenses to kill these creatures, and be sure they won't get distracted with the ground ones! Take a look at the next gif to see the bats in action. They may look cute and small, but as you advance through the waves, new and ferocious creatures will start to appear in the battlefield.

Before the flying creeps attack, you will see a path of feathers coming from the portal to the base to indicate where they are coming from. if you don't see the feathers, then you can rest assured you won't see any flying creature, at least on the current wave.

And that's it for this announcement, there is still a lot of work to do, and as mentioned before, the roadmap doesn't display all of the things we are working on. For example, we are also working in many designs for the upcoming features, and setting up the translation system. Anyways it does show what is coming and where we are.
If you have any question or feedback, leave a comment! I would love to read it!
