Guys, I had a pretty cool idea related to the Tower Defense genre. It is simple yet innovative. Instead of towers, we use rooms!

Here's my little design document that I wrote in 30 minutes.

I would appreacite a lot if you are able to expose your opinion about it.

Thanks!

Conceptually speaking, there are some other games out there that use a similar idea where it's essentially a dungeon crawler where you generate the dungeon and the AI crawls it.

Realistically speaking, it'll be exactly as good as you make it, so get prototyping! You should be able to knock up a prototype for this in a day, easily.

Thank you! I`m gonna give it a try.

I actually don't remember playing a game with such design. If you happen to know one, can you show me? I`m interested in playing =)

Edit: After some hours, the enemies have enough AI to walk through every room in the base.

Here's a simple example (it works for a larger base too): https://gyazo.com/05bd5eb7e59743f587abb2501b02b6d7

There are not nearly enough games that position you as the dungeon master, for sure.

Silbereisen, PaulWv2.017:
I agree with you, Paul.
Dungeon Keeper is old... This means that this room-genre is not very much explored?

Btw, I already implemented the foundation of my idea.
In this Gif, you can see that the enemy wave explores every room and when they find the final room I destroy them xD.

What was that Ubisoft game that you build your own castle, placing rooms and enemies, and other players have to try to get o your gold?
