Need TD Ideaz

Make the pathing something special, and don't overdo it like the Underworld TD or the Otherworld TD.. they just suck. Stick to something out in the open and not too complicated. Make unique upgrades or unique tower effects. Towers that just attack can get lame. If you can, use something other than towers. Most TDs use Units that have been classified as buildings. Some even use ability animations for their tower models.

I have a seige tower that's in progress right now. I may release it but its got way too many polys right now. It was started by a friend of mine that gave up because he had no use for it.

Something I would personally like to see are towers that have abilities. Make a tower cast blizzard on the targets that are passing by, or chain lightning. Thats a great addition to a TD. Try and put stuff in there that isn't used in most TDs.

hey man thats a good idea like i can have a lightning tower with a lightning bolt model and it has chain lightning but wat do u mean by pathing can u have custom paths or do u mean like normal just nicely put together?

Well, Line Tower Wars just has units spawn and walk downwards in a straight line, Cube TD makes them walk down into a square, around, and out. Make them follow a decent path, not just a straight line. Maybe they start on the outside and spiral towards the center, if they make it to the center, you lose a life. Make the path that they follow something unique, not something overused or plain.

so your thinking more of a Spiral TD well i was thinking about a Cross Over type like + that at several different points in the terrain or maze or watever think bout it.

No no no.. I'm not suggesting a certain type, I'm just saying try and make it something cool.. a plain straight line is boring for a TD.

Cube TD has a unique path for it.. Dixel's or Line Tower Wars are both straight lines.. and they suck.

So just make something cool, not something that sucks.

i gotcha got any more ideas.............P.S lets keep in touch in this thread for the TD

I dont have any ideas on how the pathing should go but how bout a TD that is based in space. That might be cool. Be sure to use Killst4r's incredible Starcraft Models.

hmmm. Chain lightining is essentially a lighting grasphic attack with damage reduction and bouncing attack! To make a TD uniqe, you have to think of something that no other TD's have and exploit that to its full potential. look at other TD maps out there and think of something that would make it better while u play each 1. Write em down. Then make your map, use all tose things and add anythin kool u can think of! Skinned towers are a good start!

Hey i see you need a chainlightning tower well in my spare time i made one and here it is

thx, i havent gotta chance to look at it yet though hope its tight.
