Helix Defense 2 January?
Progress on Helix Defense 2 goes reasonably well, given the extremely limited amount of time I have to work on it (I typically have no more than 2-4 hours to myself each day and I do deserve some time to rest, you know! ).
I’m hoping to get some sort of preview up soon, but i’ll need some prettier graphics for that and at the moment i’m stuck with red and green triangles and squares, which are quite garish to look at. Nevertheless, most of the core gameplay mechanics are in place; it’s just a matter of fleshing the whole thing out with content now and then, of course, testing testing testing!
I finish work for the year this week and if all goes well I’ll have some more time to devote to it after that. All things considered, a January release date seems reasonable to me right now. Whether this will actually happen or not remains to be seen…



Hey, this is great. I wonder if you remember me at all…I used to be your forum-whore…lol. It’s really been awhile..
I feel kinda guilty I forgot your name…something short though. Four letters, I think. I remember a lot of things about helixfox…
Did you ever get your 3d engine game going? I think you said you needed it for college or something…
you are an awesome, northern, cool guy
Hey, just wanted to say that Helix Defense is one of my favorite games and I’m looking forward to the sequel!
How bout a little more intelligence this time?
maybe a fucking LIVES display?
maybe more fucking room to build on?
Protip: There are no lives in Helix Defense. You lose when you run out of energy and lose energy when enemies get through.
There may or may not be more room but HD2 is currently on hold!
