New Tower Defense, looking for spell designer

[opbacklash]

Alright guys, im new to this site and stumbled across it on my quest to acquire some amazing spells for my new tower defense map. Ive got the basic design and triggering finished, and at this point am working on waves and some more advanced stuff. Ultimately, my goal is for this TD to be EXTREMELY difficult as many of the players i play with all tell me that the average TD is too easy and can be won on the first attempt.

Im looking to make it unique in the fact that in addition to buildings, you can spend resources on spells to turn the battle as a 1-time-use. Certain races will utilize spells much more actively than others, with each race having a set type of spells. Each race will have 1 global spell that will also help all allies in addition to themselves.

Right now, im looking at about 35 spells between 5 different races (to be expanded to 7, later to be expanded to 27 (adding 25 more waves) but that is far in the future)

I am OK with using spells from others and offering full credit, and have browsed the spells here for ideas. Ultimately, i want the cheap spells to be the easily coded simple stuff, such as a basic firebolt with an aoe explosion, and the advanced spells to have really awesome graphics. The global spells need to be extremely noticable as they are meant to be very expensive (some even costing permenent lives of the player), and long cooldown, but VERY powerful, and they need a graphic to reflect that.

Im looking for somebody to help me out in this regard, as im fairly new to the editor, and view this both as a chance to make an amazing TD, as well as a chance to learn a bit more in this regard so that I can help others.

I can gladly offer a bit more information on the spells needed (up to and including names, desired effects, and the like, to interested parties.

Thanks in advance for the help, and hopefully we can be working on this soon!

Hello,
I am also knew to the site. I have made spells using the object editor and can imlement them with trigger effects. but i cannot creat custom models for the spells. You would have to give me the .mdx file containing the model files. I would like to see your map even if you dont want me working on it just to give some suggestions, I atempted to make my own td a way back but failed due to the difficulty of balancing it out. Please post a link to the dl of your beta

at the current time, this map is still considered Closed for public testing, but as soon as it becomes available, ill be glad to let you know!

As for the spell design, most of the spells I wish to use are going to be very graphic and quite flashy. I would be willing to discuss with you my needs via ventrilo or aim, but as per your description, I do not feel you are up to this task. I may be incorrect, but feel free to AIM or Vent me and we can see if there is anything you can do!
