Yes, yes, we all know that TDs are getting old. But!, before I move on to bigger and better things (well, after I finish my first map, which is this... xD), I wanted to create something that was different... So, I need your opinions on what would be good. There is a "Reply" button somewhere below and to the right of this text to give feedback. There is also this glob of text where you can actually READ (zomg :ugly:) what my ideas are about. Kapesh? Aight, lets get started.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

-An Evolution type TD, where certain basic towers can be upgraded into bigger and better versions, by increasing certain stats like Strength, Accuracy, and the like. Each basic tower has multiple upgrades, which in turn have multiple upgrades, which in turn have multiple upgrades, all of which are different from each other. A basic tower that upgraded to Choice a1 and then to choice b3 (A and B are the tiers), would have different stats than basic tower that upgraded to Choice a6 and then to choice b3.

6 upgrades for a single tower? No, its not that complex. Each tower will have 3 upgrade possibilties, from a pool of 6 [Or more, most likely more, branching out significantly as a player reaches the upper echelons).

This would be a hellishly massive project to undertake. I would DEFENITELY need a crew for this one... *wink wink*. This is also one of my favorites.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

-A TD where physical upgrades (From Tower 1 to Tower 2) are less major and the main focus would be utilizing items to the player's advantange? Say adding a weapon to a tower and equipping it with a special object, say ammo or a trinket, to give it special effects or bonuses? Players would rely less on building the best tower and focus on making a strategic balance of each effect. Sure, there would still be towers that are better than the rest, but the changes would not be as major as say, Wintermaul or Gem TD.

This is definintly (I cant spell for the life of me tonight) an interesting concept, one I would be glad to work with.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Sure, not too many ideas, but throughough and well thought out ideas as well. My spelling leaves alot to be desired, but oh well, these are merely ideas, and I didn't talk like, "oh nd dis is a Twr Def were u use itms!". Kapesh? xD
