Title: [FINISHED] Godface: DELUXAZORD Championship Edition
Post by: goldbuick on January 17, 2011, 02:30:18 PM
Two Player Tower Defense, a competitive Tower Defense game. The goal is to die last, the game will be brutal.

Towns need protection, as a guardian you can offer that protection. The only problem is that you're not alone. Prove yourself as the best guardian and win the town trophy and respect.

  • You will have a player avatar that moves about the field to drop/upgrade towers
  • Monsters will drop powerups
  • Powerups can buff your avatar
  • Powerups can mess with the other player's avatar

My goal is that the game plays through in about 5 to 10 minutes. Just local to one machine for now.

I'm going to make a versus tower defense in the vein of party tetris.
each player is solo, but you can pick up specials to mess with the other players.

I always love games like that! Puyo Puyo has a great VS. system as well. Best of luck with this!

That sounds great!

Will the monsters attack the player, the towers or something entirely else?


Title: Re: Two Player Tower Defense Game
Post by: goldbuick on January 18, 2011, 11:51:31 AM
Monsters will attack the player if they get in the way and will not attack towers

Oh so lonely!

One of my goals for this game is to make sure it's Winnitron ready!

http://winnitron.ca/developers/ (http://winnitron.ca/developers/)

I keep hearing more and more buzz about people building Winnitrons. This would be a great chance to build the library of games for the Winnitron

It's a custom lua driven game framework I've been working on for a while.

Is that some sexy pixelated A-star?  Smells delish either way.  If only I had a Winnitron to play this when you're done; I guess I'll have to settle for my PC.

Updated first post with game premise

Towns need protection, as a guardian you can offer that protection. The only problem is that you're not alone. Prove yourself as the best guardian and win the town trophy and respect.

more updates coming soon!

Been trying to come up with a good name for this game. The basic premise is that you're trying to prove you're the better god/guardian. And that you're the one worthy of protecting the city.

Things started to get animated, adding in sounds. You can play through a complete game now.
I guess I should work on doing a standalone build so you peeps can play?

In order to finish on time I'm having to cut resolution

Well what the hell, I think I'll post the current state of the game anyways! AVG thinks it's malware, but it's really not guise

Hello this is Pencerkoff

You didn't post the right thing in the finished games thread.  You type very loud by the way.

And when I played it, my guy collided with the enemies and never moved again.  Neither did the other guy.

Increpare, Terry Cavanagh, Sophie H and I tried this game for a while.

- portraits are nice
- pixel art inconsistent (strokes and no strokes?)
- little slow
- players lost interest.

It looks like this could be a cool tower defense game. We tried it out the other day. We figured things out pretty quickly (for us). But some of the players were a little concerned about the amount of player interaction. One person said, "we could just open the a single player tower defense game on two computers to get the same experience." So we didn't end up playing very long. Sorry! Just thought I'd share our experience.


Title: Re: [FINISHED] Godface: DELUXAZORD Championship Edition
Post by: ANtY on March 26, 2011, 02:50:16 AM
There should be multiplayer but more interaction and via internet.


Title: Re: [FINISHED] Godface: DELUXAZORD Championship Edition
Post by: Ryavis on March 29, 2011, 02:37:33 PM
It was pretty fun.
However, I think the powerups were way too good. The bird especially... or whatever the hell that thing was that ran around the other player's screen stealing money. If you got a couple of those off at the right time it really screwed the other player over and there was nothing we could figure out to do about it.
