Polycraft - A WebGL 3D tower defence game

Is there any blog or article by the authors with a behind the scenes description of the game? (team or solo, artist, technologies, infrastructure, ...)

The game is nice but I prefer reading about those as I see a lot going on the tech side.

The technology is impressive - it felt responsive and looked decently detailed. I stopped playing almost immediately though once every action had a slot-machine audio/video feedback to it. Its straight out of any Zynga game and it reduces gameplay to 'push button A' 'go to location B' 'repeat'.

I was hoping for "Torchlight on the web" but got "Farmville in WebGL".

well, it could've looked like this, I don't see why not. I was speking more about poly count, rather than textures and their quality. I think they just didn't cared/had time (or artists) to do pretty textures.

This game (like everyone else is saying) is technically and visually impressive.

My advice for this game: drop the up-front PAY US LOL bullshit. Don't make people click through 18 menus to play the game. Drop the stupid achievements: "You clicked exactly where we told you to! Here's a diamond!" just isn't doing it for me. Let people start right away by building a town. No weapons, no build restrictions.

THEN once people have something to protect, start laying on the "That's a nice little town you've got there. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it." Town under attack? Need a new tower fast? One dollar won't kill you.

Not that I ever play any F2P games (ever), so take this with a grain of salt, but suck people in and give them a reason to pay you. Everyone likes games where they build stuff. Now make them pay to fight entropy... but you've got to get them building right away, because I lost interest pretty fast.
