The intention was that you'd coordinate with other players, so I put in the chatter so you could do that. There's some fun stuff with a multiplayer server hosted on Amazon Web Services that I should write a blog entry about at some point...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Airwaffle: Nah the defense towers are trying to defend *you* from the floating enemies :) the more they're firing, then in theory, the safer you are."},{"author_name":"mpc174","author_uid":"2493","time":"May 3, 2011 @ 5:40am","epoch":1304400900,"text":"I used unity as well. Creating original 3D assets and skyboxes can be a bit of a hassle. Good job making an animated human. So I understand that the Item was a chat window... Isn't this single player, or was I connected to a server? My first thought was text parser from an adventure game, so I typed &quot;Kill Tower&quot; :)."},{"author_name":"Superpig","author_uid":"4309","time":"May 3, 2011 @ 9:51am","epoch":1304415960,"text":"You were connected to a server.
