(4) "Just-Another TD" - W.I.P

Preface: The title "Just-Another TD" can be somewhat misleading, since this TD (that's what it is) is far better than any other crappy TD (such as Wintermaul, Hell TD, Green TD etcetera, etcetera whatever and so forth. So just to help clear up any misconceptions: if you liked playing TD's just as Blizzard Entertainment's "Skibi's Castle TD" or SD_Ryoko's "Ryoko TD". You will probably like this one aswell ^^

Well-met fellow community members!

I just stumbled over this map which I made a loonng time ago.
Regardless, it's a TD. Don't really have a real name for it yet, so I just called it "Just-Another TD".
The mod (currently) enables up to 4 players to defend a specific location from being overrunned by savage creeps (how original, eh?).

I just played it to relive old memories. And then figured it reminded me a lot of Ryoko's TD :S
Don't know if I should give credit to the guy as I can't remember wether this was an attempt to recreate he's version of Skibi's Castle TD by Blizzard Entertainment.
Or just an attempt to actually create my first Tower Defense Map :P

Anyway, considering I made this a long time ago I must say it's actually quite good ^^.
So I'm thinking of continue working on this i.e. add Mini-Games to it :D (like in Skibi's Castle TD)

I have already many ideas for Mini-Games, but I would like to hear which kind of games you would like to see within this :D
So, by all means. Feel free to post your ideas, suggestions etc. as I'm preparing to release the old BETA version ;)

Like my other project thread, Lands of Conflict. I'll be updating this soon enough with more information.

Summary:

Like the abbreviation "TD" or "Skibi's Castle TD" wasn't already enough info to describe this TD for mr. Capitano :P
Regardless, here's some more detailed information to be more specific of what this TD includes. Be advised that some of the following informaiton isn't included within the BETA version.

You start by selecting the race you wish to play as, each player has 5 races to choose from and 50 seconds to do so before the first wave of creeps is unleashed. 30 creeps spawn each level (except for Boss and Horde levels). 15 from each spawn point (2 spawn points per player) in a one-by-one speed. This to prevent lag, and two spawn points is to increase difficulty (otherwise it would be too easy).

There are diffrent types of creep levels:

• Flying - "Mazing" is no use here.
• Fortified - These creeps are extra hard to kill. Siege attacks are required here.
• Death Rage - Upon death, the creep will heal other creeps and increase their movement speed.
• Shedder - Upon death, creeps turn into something else.
• Phase Shift - These creeps shift in and out of reality.
• Mechanical - These creeps are immune to all types of poison.
• Horde - Twice as many creeps spawn this level.
• Boombringer - Upon death, these creeps deal damage to nearby towers.
• Bonus Wave - Creeps are very powerfull but worth more gold. These intruders doesn't count as leaks.
• Boss - A powerful creep coming your way - DESTROY it before it reach the center!

NOTICE - Creeps also have diffent kinds of armor. Thus, you should build diffrent kinds of towers.

Your team has 50 lives total. Your objective (like in any other TD) is to prevent waves of creeps from reaching a specific location. In this case, the center of the playable map :P

Between every 2nd creep level, once completed, each player finds himself along with his or her team mates in a random type of quick paced Mini-Game. Here, each player has the opportunity to earn a little extra income while they tussle with eachother in order to get the highest score and the highest award.

Features:

From external modding, this TD features Werewulf's Boom Bringer Horse:



And model creations by Dan van Ohllus featuring:




Team:

• Archian - Project Leader, JASS'er, GUI Triggerer, Terrainer, Object Editor etc. i.e. The whole damn thing.

Progress:
Refer to preface content.

Misc.:

Basically I can sum up the info you have in two lines:
- 4 player team TD
- Mini-games

People won't be interested without any info.

Thread Update!

Now, about those Mini-Game suggestions

Looks very similar to Skibi-TD. Especially the level types. (Horde, Death Rage, etc. are pulled exactly from Skibi-TD).

Yes, some ideas for the creep levels are taken from Skibi's Castle TD :)

Thread Update!

If its the same as any other Td then why should anyone be that interested? It's good to see another map getting made but what's the point?

Oh no, no one's interested. I'm so sad... Not.

Listen guys, I'm just asking for ideas for Mini-Games ^^
I guess you could consider this as a more personal project of mine. I want to finnish what I started a long time ago. Not to create some "newsbreaking" wc3 map. Besides I'm a member of many other wc3 projects, this is a side project :P

Anyway, this TD is not the same like the other TD's mentioned above. Now where would the fun be in that? :P
It's just the same concept. My version of a TD/Mini-Game Warcraft 3 Mod will feature new stuff (mainly Mini-Games). And should be most fun to play

Why wouldn't someone want to be interested in that?

Try out some of the many excellent party maps that allready exists and take some ideas from them and twist them a bit to fit to your concept.

Good luck with the project Archian, looking forward to it.

Indeed, if you've never played pyramid escape it is probably the best example. I'm not sure most people, including myself, understand exactly the point of mini-games in a tower defense. Maybe you can describe their interaction to the Td. Does winning them give gold? etc.
