...maybe make some creeps that can kill turrets? Might make for interesting gameplay...

There are some surprises planned but as always I will not give them away.

just a reminder to those who may ask. There is no public beta, this is done for two reasons:

1) it is not the finished product and while many of you would shit brix if you saw it. I consider it bad show to release anything partially finished(I AM LOOKING AT YOU GAME INDUSTRY!) Consider that an unfinished version may make you feel uninterested in the project.

2) I am a huge fan of surprises and I can promise you what we already have looks and plays stunning but I will be more stunning when it is completed. I want you to have two scoops joygasm and not one scoop of joygasm.



My computer is stable now(thank deci for his help) and I have a major paper to write. There are some gundam models to be completed

Then it is on to texturing this:

This is the level 5 laser turret, the level 4 will only have one barrel.

Looks very promising, including the models!

Also, operating the BIG gun myself was a thing I always sorely missed in other TDs, as refined and well-designed they sometimes were... :D

So this is pretty much the same as Desktop TD. There is a variant called Vector TD, the guy who made it modified the concept just a little. There are 4 weapons and 5 creeps, each creep is 50% stronger against a weapon and 50% weaker against another, and there is one creep that has no weakness. HE also added two power ups, a tower that increases the range of other towers and a tower that increases damage.

I can't play this because as the DTD author states, you easily get obsessed at it.

No.


Differences:

levels 1-3 are the basic turret. 4/5 change things in how they function then there is a final form

you will have a different model for each level.

you can downgrade a turret.

creeps do more then just move faster and get stronger. So have boosts of speed others come as quick swarms some take reduced damage.

The game is a much larger sized battle

fire actually causes things to burn.

This is 3d, so turret placement matters. The turrets also cannot shoot through one another.

there are other things but I am not listing them yet.

Presumably theres "All turrets can fire at flying creeps, but most are inaccurate" ?

Cannon turrets cannot shoot at air

flamer turrets cannot shoot at air

Rocket turrets cannot shoot at air

Machine guns are fairly inaccurate but their level 4/5 forms do better.

Lightening hits all just fine.

Lasers hit all just fine

Rockets and cannons, sure, but no anti-air flamers? Madness!

If the plane is in range of the gigantic plume of fire, heck yeah. And then it slowly crashes with fire spewing forth...

and? Hey if you want to mess up the project on release I don't care. However, you will have to rebalance things. Not my concern WHAT you do with it after it is released.
