Congratulations @thomasbrushdev! Couldn't have happened to a better guy. Your teams hard work really shows in Twisted Tower. It's inspiring to see what a small indie studio can accomplish.
I truly believed Twisted Tower was mediocre at best. For five years (ask my wife) I felt like I was completely wasting not only my money and time, but destroying my credibility on YT and hurting my small team. Constant floundering, budget cuts, letting team members go, going solo for almost a year, and seriously considering quitting game dev (I never said it out loud). And then suddenly like a firecracker going off I wake up and realize maybe it’s a pretty decent game.

Witness the mesmerizing dance of vertices: a complex procedural mesh animation weaving stunning stylized FX, masterfully compiled by VFX wizard @chiba_akihito. Pure digital alchemy! ✨ #ProceduralArt #gamedev

We’re getting so excited for GDEX x Corgcons 2025, but we need a little help from our community.
This year, sponsorships are down—we’re sitting at just 35% of our usual support. And while ticket sales are up (about 40% ahead of last year!), we’re still working to cover the core costs of running the event.
If you believe in what GDEX stands for—a community-first, independent, game-loving event—please consider donating. Even a small contribution helps keep the show strong and allows us to plan for the future.
🎮 Donate here:

If you can’t give, sharing the link helps just as much.
Thanks for being part of this awesome community. We can’t wait to see you in September!

Sometimes game dev means doing the exact same thing over and over again until your operating on muscle memory. My tower defense currently has four tower each with 7 levels, each level has an upgrade and idle animation, and way too many transitions to create this nice web.
This is so cool!
