Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Currently, it's just me working on the coding side, dedicating my time and passion solely to C++. I'm using my savings from my previous job to fund this dream. Tom, a friend and collaborator, contributes to the game's models. We share a deep appreciation for tower defense games and are particularly fond of ones that offer simple yet profound replayability through scaling. We're convinced that there's untapped potential in this genre for incorporating rogue-like elements and innovation. My commitment is reflected in the approximately 1,500 hours I've already invested in pure coding time over the past five months.
But, in order to ensure we head in the right direction, we need to get feedback from the community and build more around those ideas.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Predicting an end date for Early Access is quite challenging. The creative process is fluid, filled with great ideas that will take time to implement. Depending on feedback, it could be 12-18 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The game aims to be a large scaled tower defence game, with a progressive tech tree, lots of upgrades, and many enemy/boss types.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In its current state, the game lays a solid foundation with basic yet expansive systems. Towers can be upgraded and scaled for increasing challenge. A diverse array of enemies, each with unique traits, scale in difficulty with the player's progression. The groundwork for our resource systems and procedural generation is set, promising varied gameplay with each new session.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game is envisioned to remain affordable post-Early Access, with only a modest price adjustment to reflect the additional content and enhancements made. Ultimately, our pricing will be informed by player feedback and the value we deliver. Keeping the game accessible is a top priority, and any decision on pricing will be carefully considered with the community's perspective in mind.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Our approach to Early Access is wholly inclusive of community involvement. I am personally committed to engaging with our players, considering all suggestions, and adapting the game accordingly. Every piece of feedback is a step toward realizing the shared vision for our game, balanced with the project's scope and my time.”

About This Game



Bastion of Beginnings is a tower defense game that seamlessly blends roguelite elements and rich replayability.

Key Features:


Foundational Upgrade System: Start with a simplified upgrade system designed as a precursor to our comprehensive tech tree. This initial system allows us to build out the necessary elements, and will evolve into a more complex and branching tech tree system in the future, adding depth and richness to your progression.



Procedurally Generated Maps


Every game presents a new map, featuring unique terrain generated by our procedural algorithms. Our path generation system, which is tweakable, allows for both crazy and simple paths, perfectly tuned for tower defense.

Scaling/Varied Enemy Types: Face off against enemies that scale and grow tougher with each wave. Anticipate a boss wave every 10th wave, offering not just a challenge but also rewards that enhance your gameplay.

Adaptable Tower Upgrades: Embrace a versatile "attribute" system for tower customization, allowing you to fine-tune stats such as RPM for cannons or firing rate for snipers. Your strategy shapes their evolution. As bosses fall, you're offered a roll on the upgrade system, granting the choice to select enhancements for your towers. This system fosters numerous synergies, stacking effects, and unique special abilities.

Early Access Roadmap:

  • Driven by the Community: Your insights and input are crucial. Engage with us, share your thoughts on features, pinpoint bugs, and help direct the game’s progress.

  • Refinement and Enhancement: Expect ongoing enhancements that polish gameplay, graphics, and performance, delivering a seamless experience across a range of devices.

  • Fresh Threats and Defenses: Stay on the lookout for inventive tower options and new enemy variants that will join the fray.

  • Expanding Tech Tree: Delve into an intricate tech tree with diverse pathways, ensuring each choice has a significant impact on your play style.

  • Dynamic Landscapes: Look forward to more sophisticated world generation, including multiple enemy paths, alongside general improvements and optimizations.

Performance Improvements on the Horizon:
  • Behind-the-scenes work is set to majorly advance performance, paving the way for larger-than-life battles and a smoother gaming experience. Our future plans include transitioning to Unreal Engine’s Mass framework for unparalleled performance enhancements.

    We are currently maximizing what we can achieve with UE’s standard actor system. The shift to Mass is planned as our next big leap forward after we lay the foundation with our community’s support.

Join us in the world of Bastion of Beginnings and help us craft a game that’s as engaging to strategize as it is exhilarating to play.
