When you get a stable version let me know and I'll get the word out. It would be very good if you could compile a list of all changes since you started.
Glad to see you are back to working on this. A few quick hits to improve the WC3 version;
-Remove the interest upgrade...just not balanced and can't be
-Make arrow/cannon towers support attribute so they don't get buffed
-Make tier 3 support duals (waterfall etc.) to 90% support from 120%...
Thank you for the reference to NES/SNES quality. That helps me visualize it. Now I am thinking of 5 frames for movement and 3 frames for death. Towers could have 3 frames for attack/cast and 1 frame for idle.
How would a generic death animation work? I suppose if it was like an explosion or...
Three animation states for creep movement and three for death. One animation state for tower attack. So 18 images (3*3*2) per creep and 1 image per tower.
Probably the most useful metric would be time required per creep and per tower given a level of quality slightly higher than the picture...
Hey guys I'm hoping to get a cost/time estimate from someone who has experience with sprites. We will be having two types of sprites. Creeps that move up, down, and left/right with walk and death animations. Towers that don't move and have attack animation. Level of quality would be slightly...

You guys should know that I just implemented MAZING and REMATCHES into the game. Prepare for a whole new feel. Version 1.22b live on NA and soon to be on EU/SEA.
Thank you for the idea. But, it doesn't need to be spiced up. It has proven a popular tower in SC2 and my own use indicates it is more than spicy enough.
FW - The general idea may or may not be the same. The important thing though is that in practice it feels different/used different than say Electricity (Chain Lightning).
DNW - I meant modes on the tower. 0.31 = no splash, 0.66 = small splash, 1 = medium splash, 1.5 = large splash.
ENW - Part...
No offense taken. I appreciate your feedback.
FW - I don't think bouncing is a good way to describe this. It certainly doesn't feel anything like chain lightning in practice. This is much more an AoE than individual target tower.
DNW - Actually there are four modes to choose from, not two. SC2...
Copied from my email to the coder. Here are some new towers.
Quantum Beam (EL) - Each attack this tower makes spawns a blade of energy that
makes one full rotation. There should be two modes, fast and slow. Fast has a 1 second rotation
while slow takes 3 seconds (but does slightly more than 3x...
It seems there is still a good base of players for the WC3 version of ETD. I certainly get more questions on it than the SC2 one. To this end, I have decided to provide an update for you guys.
Here I would really appreciate it if you guys could post changes you want to see. The last official...
Originally I released the open source when I quit WC3 so that people could make their own versions. Now that I am back, mine should be the official version. However, a totally different spinoff like Teams would be quite fine by me.
