Tower Upgrade: Redefining the Battlefield

Towers First: Building the Heart of Outpost 19

‍
We don’t have a full base yet, but we just wrapped up the first concept for upgradeable towers. These won’t just be obstacles — they’ll evolve during the match, becoming key to both defense and momentum.

‍

Why Towers?

‍
From the beginning, we knew we didn’t want a game about rushing in and spamming bullets. Towers force players to slow down, think, and work together. You’ll need to upgrade your gear, time your pushes, and rely on your teammate to make real progress.

They’re also where you regroup when things get rough. They give shape to the battlefield and define the pace of every match.

‍

Forcefields & Risk

‍
We’re also designing a forcefield system that protects towers from being picked off at range. You’ll need to get in close to deal damage — which makes every push feel earned. On defense, those same forcefields give you breathing room when the enemy is pressing in.

‍

What’s Next

‍
Right now, we’re focusing on getting this core loop feeling tight and satisfying before layering on more features. Towers are our anchor point — once they feel right, we’ll build everything else around them.
