REVAMPED DESCRIPTION POST!!!!!!

MY INFO: forums: http://www.pvptowerdefense.proboards85.com/ my e-mail: web.tdesigns@gmail.com

GAME DESCRIPTION:

In a traditional tower defense game, you build towers and shoot at repetitive lines of enemies… well, what if you took out the enemies, and added another AI/Human player in its place. this new player would build towers too. then the towers would fire at each other. now add a few planes and vehicles, and you have an RTS. My idea was to make this “RTS” but with more emphasis on the towers instead of the troops.

eh, its alot of art, if you think about it. 180 directions for each tower, plus 1 for a “scanning for target” rotation. i will put up some examples, but i only have the first civilizations graphics done.

That’s nice, insult him, and then go completely off topic and link to some random website. Very mature.

hi, i´m a musician and im interested in your project. could you send me more info about music style and music general idea?

 
avatar for jackknrsh7 jackknrsh7 104 posts

sure, i need 2 different styles for the main page and the game itself.

for the startup, i need something kind of suspenseful, the kind of music you hear in the background of a “war room” scene in a movie.

for the in game i need 4 tracks that work well in a background, they need to be essesially the same song, but with a slight twist depending on the civ you are playing as. the music needs to be the kind of thing to make you not think, This game needs music.

i really need someone who can write music to the game, and not the game to the music. ya know, someone who can say “HMMMM, i think that this kind of song would go well with this part,” but not “what do YOU think you want” if you catch my drift.

oh and @ darkdismal: those look great, but try to make those into a tower defense game and your computer will BLOW UP! no processor can handle those kind of drawings in a large quantity. and you drew that with a pencil, i would like to see you draw that with a computer. If you have nothing good to say, say nothing.STOP POSTING EVERYWHERE TO BOOST YOUR POST COUNT!

@marh, thanks, at least some people have dignity.

i suppose it kinda depends on the timescale for this, this sounds like a great idea, one ive actually thought about myself(although with a few differences) but im fairly new to flash, i have an idea of how the code would look, i just wouldnt be able to promise speed…

 
avatar for jackknrsh7 jackknrsh7 104 posts

if you can write a multiplayer engine, your on.

if you cant, thats ok, if you want to help out, you can.

Well, I know its probably annoying for someone to post a myspace link, but this is literally what I would call “My Band.” Yes the songs on there are ours and a member made them.

We don’t have many songs as you can see, but I assure, we made them.

hey jack i like where your game is going and how its looking, I know this is not what you want.. But could you consider me in artist?

I like the idea of your game but those examples dont look fantastic but they look creative and imaginative.

I especially like the Alien turret. and i read how it shouldnt be to intense or else itll not process / lag but i pixeled a Simple, yet advanced turret somewhat like your alien thing (And some kind of base that a turret sits on)

Hope you consider :)

 
avatar for jackknrsh7 jackknrsh7 104 posts

yes, i like it, your on the team. i will start sending you my drawing sketches of turrets i need you to animate.

for the reccord, i need the following for EACH TURRET, just so you know what you are getting into,

a “Scanning” animation that looks like the turret is rotating smoothly 360 degree rendering for the turret, so when it fires it will stay in the direction it fired for a few secconds. a “Firing” animation in each direction a “reloading” animation showing the system reloading and its progress on a little bar on the bottom. good grass/metal/dirt ground for the maps, plus cliffs and metal walls for the obsticles and the same for moving vehicles and airplanes.

if you are still intersted, your on.
