Our Idle Tower Builder has received a significant update v.1.7
To make the interaction with the game messages more immersive set of hand-drawn game characters were added into the game. Like all the rest of the game content, characters were drawn manually, without any use of generative AI.
To keep the player busy while the new tower floor is being completed the TODO system was introduced. You'll receive tasks, for example, to gather a required amount of resource or to upgrade a facility, and the n you'll receive a reward for the task completion. The reward can be a bulk sum of coins, science or rubies, or a timed bonus which increases a certain game parameter by 4 times.
And, finally, the game has full HTML5 support!
Regarding this, our Idle Tower Builder has interesting story. First it was made as Babel Tower for web using Javascript/Phaser, then for mobile and PC release the code was rewritten into cross-platform Action Script 3 with AIR/Starling support. In terms of game features those versions went well ahead from the HTML5 one: the mobile tower had 30 floors of content whereas the web tower only 16.
As the players were still able to find the outdated HTML5 version and asked for updates, I wrote a Python script to convert my AS3 code back to JS and make the HTML5 version consistent to the Mobile and PC.
So, Idle Tower Builder goes fully cross-platform! And all the game versions are now compatible: you can play on one platform, export your game save and load it on another one. Also the bonus codes which I post on Discord can be activated anywhere. And when the mobile version receives new features, HTML5 will gain them, too.
Now the HTML5 version can be found on https://www.crazygames.com/game/babel-tower and eventually I will update the game versions on other website.
