  • I made a Tower Defense game where one huge player controls the map by placing towers and using abilities, whilst the little players must all get to the end of the map in order to defeat the huge player!

    Definitely add more maps. I think that the maps can be longer or divided into diffrent difficulties. You could also take inspiration from the game rock of ages. It's a similiar game to yours. You could add towers like fans, hot air balloons that shoot from the sky, some enemies that attack the mini player and you must run from them. You could also add a mode where the gian player is played by a bot. Your game is very interesting and has a potential. Take all the time you need. This game will be amazing!

      Smoke Screen (should come under utility ig) sounds good for longer maps, but disabling surrounding cannons sounds broken as other players can take advantage too. Imagine 5 people skipping more than half of the map by precisely using the ability one by one, or using the ability at tough spots, thats when the giant guy's strategy can get ruined.

    I know you spent hours on how the legs are animated now, but I really do think the physics based walking is a lot more appealing, and adds more challenge. If physics legs are re-added, I think a tower that’s basically a fence would be cool, as it would make it mandatory for the player to jump and clear the fence without tripping, also making them more vulnerable to knock back. A grabbing mechanic could be cool as mini players could save others by pulling them back onto land, also adding strategy to having a heavier player hold on to the lighter player.

    Here's a few ideas off the top of my head:
    -more active abilities for the miniplayers
    Currently they seem to only have passive upgrades, active upgrades whilst something that tower defense rarely have for their enemies will be very good for replayability since you can try out different strategies, some ideas would be: being able to stun the big player for a few seconds, not allowing them to do anything. Or maybe just a grapple hook ability that will allow you to skip certain parts of the track
    These ability upgrades could be a seperate tree and dependant on which map you're playing or just accessible everywhere depending how you do it
    As for more passive abilities you should add a cyborg abil9ity to the tank tree, It would make you super resistant to knockback and enhance that weak shield that protects all angles
    And my last idea is simple: synergies between upgrades: For example speed shoes + cyborg = rocket shoes
    just stuff like that that makes certain combinations more powerful, would be a useful balancing tool for stuff that might be a bit weaker whilst giving that extra bit of depth to the game

    • @rewpertcone8243
      @rewpertcone8243 Před rokem +3

      I like your first idea, but stuns are never the way to go.
      One of the biggest principles of game design is player agency, and taking that away is one of the worst things you can do.
      A prime example of this is brig when she released for OW1 a while ago. She took away players agency with tons of stuns and ruined the game for a while

    A few ideas
    1. Allowing the big player to make the track longer
    2. Another tree for offense, which allow you to mess with the big guy, like a bow and arrow that let you temporarily take out one eye, which makes half the screen black, or go AoT and get ODM Gear to pester the big guy while your friends run for the exit.
    3. A tower that sprays soap, which deals no Knockback, but reduces players Knockback resistance. You could alternatively just make it into a Spray Tower that can have pepper spray to temp blind, expanding foam that makes it difficult to move, etc.
    4. A night map with fireworks, where the deal-damage-to-big-player-orbs will instead fly at the big player to deal the damage, rather than just making a number go down

    Stealth tree: Hide from auto targetting sights of guns for a limited time. Smokescreen an area to block sight for a group.
    Ice gun: slows area shot.(glue gun in bloons td)
    Wild endgames: Getting a point where the upgrades are insane to watch for both teams is always a dream to see. Upgrades like stats might be cool.

    Seems like a pretty cool idea. There should be a few differn't game modes. One mode that would be cool is if players also take turns at being the big player in rounds. Also, a mode with everyone on the track and multiple big players (although networking might be tricky there) on a larger map where it's last to survive).

    All i ask for is a wider variety of playable characters (good luck with modelling those lol) and if possible to allow steam link remote play support so several people can play within the same screen/pc
    If you do decide to implement remote play into it then i think having a top down view with a dynamic camera that subtly follows the general direction of all mini players might be the best way to go
    In any case, good luck with development, really excited to see how far this project goes

    Tower idea:
    The great white:
    you would place him in the water and he would have a small radius where he can jump out and take the player into the great beyond. this attack would be quite slow and inconsistent though, which is were the second part of the idea comes in. If someone jumps directly over the shark, then he would pop out almost immediately and kill the player jumping over him, making this a tower that is mediocre as a base tower, but a counter to jumping over gaps which i predict will be extremely busted.

    Cannon:
    The double cannon could evolve to be a burst cannon which fires 4 Shots in quick succession
    The Mega cannon could evolve into the spiked balls cannon which sticks to a player and weighs them down alot

  • @countspyder4769
    @countspyder4769 Před rokem +1

    My only idea that doesn’t seem to have already been said is a Tesla tower for the mega player that tazes the mini players. Instead of knock back it stuns them for a short period of time, potentially making them more vulnerable to other towers since they can’t reorient to face the attacking towers (or they can collapse, making them harder to hit, but still unable to dodge)
    Another thing is tower affects that are extra effective against mini player upgrades. Like the Tesla could be extra affective versus the colossus metal shield, but useless versus the force field. This would provide an extra layer of strategy for both the mega player and the mini player as they attempt to predict and counter each other with upgrade trees.

  • @stephalloplayz

    it would be neat if the map design incorporated the gameplay more, like certain maps could have exclusive upgrades. also, imo it’s more fun if the maps are designed around a few strategies, like creating chokeholds but also including areas where the player can take a risky jump to skip the placehold. super creative definitely wishlisting

    Being severely addicted to btd6 and tower defense CZcamsrs, I think the main “lose condition” in tower defense games is either 1. Lots of health or 2. Lots of numbers
    At the moment you’re leaning very hard on lots of health- which means if you can manage the 2-3 runners then they’re essentially trapped at spawn.
    It would be cool to be able to spawn minions, clones, holograms to distract turrets etc to give the runners more options than just upgrading themselves, and it gives the defender something to think about even when the players are stuck at the start
    Also a good way to encourage collaboration! One player dumps their money into tank stats and rocket boots, the other spawns a buttload of really fast units, then that could be a winning strategy
    I would absolutely love to play this game with my friends and I hope it succeeds! You got this

    Is it playable

    Towers you could add:
    Leaf blower tower
    Tower that spawns mini players to attack normal players
    Rocket tower that the mega player fires manually and can also control the rocket
    Mini player power ups:
    A glider
    A gun that temporarily freezes towers
    A suit of armor that if you shoot it breaks off a part of the armor

    Random idea: spiders
    Mega player:the spider will shoot webs that knock back the mini player and slow them the upgrades will make it slow the mini more and give a bigger radius for hitting
    Branching upgrade1: mega spider will halt the player’s movement but has a low fire rate and won’t do any knockback but all knockback delt by other towers will apply but weaker
    Branching upgrade2:volley weaver will shoot webs at a quick pace many times but will need to charge after a volley of webs but will have a smaller then starting web size
    Mini player:the spider will stick the player to the ground for less knockback but you have to go back to the spider to move without being basically on a leash and upgrades will let you get less knockback
    Branching upgrade1:more spiders will let you put down more spiders (max:5) but you will move slower but get well less knockback
    Branching upgrade2: grapple it will let you grapple a radius to go farther in a short time and get back to the land and the upgrades will let you go for a bigger radius

    This looks really cool but right now there is a couple concerns I have.
    It looks like towers aim at where you are meaning speed and jump upgrades make you untouchable.
    Shields physically block shots so you can have people up front tanking requiring turrets on each side canceling both turrets.
    You designed the map before the upgrades so people can jump 2-3 important gaps causing potential issues. Using the time stamp of 2:30 as a visual reference. From start to the right bend. From the left bend to the end. The S at the end of the level.
    You must cover all 3 major gaps or speed players can ignore anything you build yet if you cover those gaps shield players have to block less. You actively have to cover 6 gaps for speed players specifically and those gaps have to be able to handle a shield player drawing aggro away so 3 speed players can't just jump but also not neutralize other towers with an equal force.
    To cover these gaps have significant risk as towers may be used as potential platforms or knock back meaning non-speed players gain an option to make it. This is why if you want an area which requires a specific power you want 2 uses of said thing.
    For example that gap between start and the right bend imagine it was bigger with an island in the middle. The island requires a speed or jump upgrade to jump onto and requires it to jump back onto the main path as well. This little bit of distance makes exploiting towers harder as it has to be done twice and also lets the builder make a trade off.
    A tower at the first jump effects everyone, a tower at the second jump only effects jumpers and pushes others down the path but because the jumper is on a small island it is much more likely to knock them off into the water.

  • @Libertysable
    @Libertysable Před rokem

    The Game Idea reminds me of a now dead Game called Dungeon Land, the difference is just that is wasnt a Tower Defence Game but a Diablo like with Dungeons.
    Maybe you can add some Minions that walk towards the Small Players, like Minions that block their Way or make it just harder to get across the Path.
    Good Work tho!

  • @GylenSenpai
    @GylenSenpai Před rokem

    I dunno how hard this would be to implement, but it would be awesome to have the big player be playable in VR (even better to have it on the quest store or other mobile VR stores), and to make it even better, to have atleast the little players playable on mobile (big player too obviously, just less important), just imagine how awesome it would be to whip this game out at a games night or something! Really like the idea and game you made ❤️❤

  • @DepixGaming2

    U will probably not react but just in case.
    Idea for the game: A flamethrower that if u get hit u turn black.
    Another idea: Party mode. U can create a private server with 20 people and they will all have a party hat on with 20 random colors. Oh and also make random six digit codes.
    Another idea: For party mode make the host the giant.
    Another idea: Add customisation.
    Another idea: Add a special map for party mode thats fucking large.
    And please a that u can choose maps like u can choose between 3 [ Including voting ]

  • @florianrotter-lebeau9798

    I seem to truly enjoy games where any benefit always comes with a downside (eg.: Brotato). On the Big player side, possibly an ability, not unlike earthquake (Meteor strike possibly), that comes with the downside of creating an additional landmass. Just the general idea of a tradeoff in any meaningful kind of progression seems interesting. cool approach btw.

  • @goatpepperherbaltea7895

    This reminds me of this Lego style building game called blockland and people would build “deathruns” where one group is in an operating room triggering traps while the other group tries to navigate those traps

  • @DevonParsons697
    @DevonParsons697 Před 5 měsíci

    Since players can jump across gaps to shortcut the map, make sure you give the builder some tools to counteract that. It would be so funny to have like a "flyswatter" tower that I can manually activate to swat players mid-air

  • @DripBaconGuy
    @DripBaconGuy Před rokem

    Add something that could make the small players have abilities like:
    1-summoning a clone of yourself that lasts for 7 seconds
    2-becoming invisible for 3 seconds(invisibility makes towers not target you)
    3-uno reverse card that stun towers

  • @jonahzurn527
    @jonahzurn527 Před rokem

    Also maybe add a support specialisation which would help other players avoid being knocked off but would otherwise have very little that helps them specifically. Perhaps something like a dome shield but they can’t move while using it, or a way for the little guys to mess with the big guy, prevent him from placing down towers and such. Maybe something like an ice bomb ability where the big guy freezes the track and makes it super slippery, which could be balanced by making it also slow down or stop all the towers nearby

  • @Aaron-lx3yf

  • @seventeenraccoonsinatrenchcoat

    A map with an ending and also a branching path that leads to some huge thing like a trebuchet or ballista, that can be used once per game for an extra hit on the big player, but it requires several mini players to operate and you have to hit an eye

    Ice hazards. Make the ground slippery or otherwise force small players to slowly drift in a certain direction.
    Spring traps that knock them up in the air and make them more vulnerable to knockback.
    A smoke trap that messes with player controls for a short period, with cooldown between puffs.
    Pendulums, basically just the spinning bar with a rock or something at the end, but spinning perpendicular to the ground.
    Ground thorns that may cause players to trip or ragdoll.
    A smoke bomb for small players that will momentarily block the giant players view of a part of the map.
    An upgrade for the giant player, allowing them to directly control a specific tower.
    A mortar tower with a wide range that does aoe when it hits, but low accuracy.
    An ability for the giant player that allows them to create a gust of wind in a chosen direction. This could be powerful in a narrow line or weak but spread over the entire map.
    Upgrade trees for the giants like storm, ice, and fire giants. With each one having different special abilities and buffs to certain towers. Possibly make super towers available to specific ones.
    A fire effect that makes players move faster but sporadically, i.e. they will randomly swerve by some ammount.
    May also be worth adding wider maps with multiple possible paths that overlap in places. Would require balancing.
    Lightning towers that stun tiny players for a moment. Wouldn't want to be too long, but enough to give other towera a chance to do some damage.
    A player ability to temporarily shut down a trap or tower. Probably higher level utility.
    A giant player ability to slam down their fist and cause small players to bounce up in the air.
    ...i can't think of any more for now. Sorry for the super long comment and i hope this is useful in some way.

  • @abiduestafelu
    @abiduestafelu Před rokem

    I think your idea has some problems:
    Mini players should have separate lives, like playing Fall Guys on a team, or a good mini player is going to be pulled down by the noobs on a pub.
    It sounds like placing the towers requires some strategy, strategy a new player might not have and it's kinda weird that a noob giant player loses 3x the ammount of lives as a mini player, when he's supoused to be more powerful.
    If you're going to continue with the 10-10 lives, don't fork the improvements so much, think about the limit of rounds that those lives will allow.
    Pre-round 1 upgrades for the mini players would be cool, this would bring diversity of gameplay from the start and allow mini players to strategize and play a bit more cooperatively

  • @JooseNerd
    @JooseNerd Před rokem

    A good idea for the Big Player would be a choice of Upgrade where they either get:
    The Option to put towers on a fixed path, where the total Tower slides back & forth shooting at intervals; which can branch into either: Shooting at players, with a range that it detects before it starts shooting, or choosing a fixed point that it is constantly shooting at, even if no players are in range, but the projectiles dissapear at a certain distance. The other option could be related to rotation or homing, projectiles spinning more accurately. I noticed the towers do home in, but if they had predicitve targetting before firing, so the cannon shooting just in front of players, or the machine gun adjusting its spread based on how close the target is (Maybe called 'Smart Targetting') could allow for different tower placement options.

    you should make an map creator for the game, as well as play test the game a lot. because some things feel weirdly worse than others like the double cannon feels weirdly worse than the giant cannon. but everything else looks nice, can't wait for the release
