Defense Castle Under Attack

[Uberplayer]

WIP

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

Your job is obviously to defend that Castle from upcoming waves of creeps. The Castle is located at in front of your camera view when you start the game and is selected automatically.. so you're not going to have very hard time searching for it hopefully.

You get troops and upgrades from the Castle, by pressing the buttons on the bottom left area of your UI. It's a good idea to keep them near (or between) the towers, because they give you good protection.

Quest Menu for more info about the game..

No really.. this is still unfinished project.. and I am only asking for your opinions about the current progress.
This is because it's easier for me to change things now, and not after I've made all 30 waves.


Of course.. scrienchchot:

Spoiler

Earilier in the game:

Later in the game:

Known issues:
-Catapults are stupid
-Ancient Protectors are too slow at rooting
-Wolves were coded to focus on single unit. That has to be changed somehow.
-Getting +-1 gold from enemies isn't fixed yet.
-Riflemen are quite poor, I heard..

Please feed my back, or what ever you are willing to do.

PS: There might be some "test only" things left here and there. I couldn't see any, though.

This is more of like a game "Defend Your Castle" when you pick ppl then throw em and they die

but this is different, oh well. I would play it, but havent' got much time. I'll try tomorrow

EDIT: you spelt scrienchchot wrong. It's Screenshot. heh, everyone have problems with these.

Gave it a go.

Maybe its jst me, but it seemed damn near impossible.

I would send out what little units I could afford and they would just me mutilated.

In the end, it was the towers dealnig damage, all the units did was destract the enemy for a bit.

I played it and I survived. In some point enemy units stopped coming, (9minutes or smthing) It was challenging and I ended up massing riflemans. But Im not sure if it is a good strategy, since they die so fast.
Nice little game

It's there on purpose.

>Maybe its jst me, but it seemed damn near impossible.
I have to make the start a bit easier then.

>I would send out what little units I could afford and they would just me mutilated.
After few more tries this wouldn't happen . I am going to do what I just said, though.

>In the end, it was the towers dealnig damage
That's not good at all. I have to do something, quick.

>In some point enemy units stopped coming, (9minutes or smthing)

You were supposed to be kicked out of the game after all the waves. I guess few enemies were left patrolling in the spawn place.

>It was challenging and I ended up massing riflemans.
I tried to make Riflies a bit more weak and increased their cooldown before posting this ;D


...


I noticed that Defend ability for Footmen and Swordsmen is not needed at all. There is simply no time to use it properly, so I am going to replace that with something niftier.

I have to do alot balancing, because as Pineapple said, the smaller units stand no chance against a group of enemies (except Riflemen, which is soon fixed).

It's not really the Towers' job to kill all the enemies, and you just lure them with 2 or 3 Riflemen/Footmen up to the hill, where all the 4 Towers attack them. I lower the Towers' damage at earlier game, and increase it perodically.

(Unprotected version will be the last one then, if someone wants to look at it)

> It's not really the Towers' job to kill all the enemies

Additionally, the Cannon Tower downhill can't really reach anything...


Also, I was basically just sitting there and... well, click Footman, click Rifleman, click Footman, click Rifleman, click Footman, click Footman...
At around 9:30 it was finally over.

Can't say I noticed any difference on the units with and without upgrades.
One level is not enough anyway.
One set of units is not enough.
The towers are just there to die. Nothing I can do with them.

The much announced Quest menu doesn't really tell much

Gold income: 4/3? Hm...
Income should also stop increasing once the Castle is gone.
Actually, the game should end once everything's gone...

>Additionally, the Cannon Tower downhill can't really reach anything...
I switch the places of the Cannon Tower and Guard Tower and make it so that the enemies attack both.

>At around 9:30 it was finally over.
It won't be in the end. I haven't done all the levels yet.

>Can't say I noticed any difference on the units with and without upgrades.
>One level is not enough anyway.
Okay, so I am going to add more levels for them, and decrease the wood cost.

>The towers are just there to die. Nothing I can do with them.
They are there to defend.

>The much announced Quest menu doesn't really tell much
Soon it will.. tell something.

>Gold income: 4/3? Hm...
4 gold every 3 seconds. I thought I explained it in the Quest Menu.

>Actually, the game should end once everything's gone...
It's under construction .


So it was too easy for you? For Pineapple it was too hard. Don't know what to do then.
You, by the way, gave me the idea of a defend game .. I really enjoyed your it.

 

[AceHart]

> So it was too easy for you?

Too easy?
There's not much other than just waiting for it to end...

Winning would be... "work in progress" I guess.
Currently, that's not even an option.
(Note to self: winning? what the heck is he talking about?)


> 4 gold every 3 seconds.

AH! See? Much clearer now...

 

[Uberplayer]

>There's not much other than just waiting for it to end...
So.. I probably have to change that.

>Winning would be... "work in progress" I guess.
The code is there. It was just disabled somewhy ..

>AH! See? Much clearer now...
I shall write that to the board.. so people understand what it means.

But did you notice that the creeps weren't that stupid ;O!?

 

[AceHart]

> I probably have to change that.

You know what this map needs? Something for the player to do!
Action! Blood! Preferably on their end, not mine.

 

[Uberplayer]

I could make more enemies to come, and give the player more gold for troops. But if I spawn too many enemies at the same time, they end up between the trees at their spawn place.

Let's see what I can do.
