May 2024 Update: Save Progress, Wisdom Upgrades, Better Icons


Gameplay

Wisdom upgrades

You can now earn player levels and wisdom upgrades.

You will receive player experience after the last wave, both when winning and losing. Current experience and upgrades can be checked in the "Profile" menu.


Note that wisdom upgrades work a little differently from the original YouTD:

  • Upgrades are selected before the game starts, instead of during.
  • Selected upgrades are saved - you don't need to constantly reselect them at the start of each game.
  • Upgrades do not have levels, they are either enabled or disabled. The total effects are the same. For example, "Advanced Sorcery" in original game granted 1.25% spell damage with 8 levels. In YouTD2 it grants 1.25 * 8 = 10% instead.
  • Builders which affect wisdom upgrades(Maverick, Feeble Fender) have been adjusted to modify the effect of all upgrades by a percentage instead of changing the amount of upgrade levels. Final effect is the same as in original YouTD.

Icons

Item icons have been improved so that icons better match with item names.

Misc

Increased amount of visible items in item stash (4->5 columns):


Lots of improvements to projectiles:

  • Implemented correct speeds for all tower attack projectiles. It used to be that all towers used same speed of 1500, now speeds are more varied.
  • Implemented z arcs for tower projectiles.
  • Implemented side arcing projectiles for some tower abilities (Drake Whisperer)
  • Fixed issues with projectile collision, especially collision between projectiles and air creeps.
  • Changed some projectiles to display a lightning visual effect instead of a moving sprite.

Other:

  • Implemented growing VFX for towers like Bonk.
  • Added display for DPS from "Dark Shroud" ability of "Shadow" tower.
  • Implemented random delay between creep spawns.
  • Added icons for tower active abilities.
  • Made tower info more compact - you can check full info by hovering over tower icon.
  • Added new visual indicator for tower ability buttons and items, which is displayed when ability is in automatic casting mode.
  • Changed position of items added to item stash. They will now get added to the end of the list.
  • Increased amount of visible announcements (text on left side of the screen).

Bugfixes

Items

  • Fixed Sign of Energy Infusion item decreasing tower damage if mana regen is less than 100%. This item will now have no effect if mana regen is below 100%.

Towers

  • Fixed Magic Mushroom being able to grow more than 40 times.
  • Fixed duration of Shattering Barrage buff, applied by Ebonfrost Crystal tower. Duration was 2 seconds less than correct value.
  • Fixed Gryphon Rider dealing physical damage to Ethereal creeps. It will now deal spell damage to Ethereal creeps.

Creeps

  • Fixed creeps sometimes continuing to spawn after game over.
  • Fixed Mass waves always having 10 creeps. The count will now increase.
  • Fixed extreme difficulty timer sometimes resetting to 15s.

Other
