TD anyone?

[Paper-Burn]

HI there, i've been away a while, and thought I needed a comeback
So, I was playing Gmod the other day and messing around with target practice with headcraps.
so, I thougth maybe turn it into a gamemode? with upgrades for weapons and such? or manuels for posistion, like, a better hitting stance, so it'll go harder. Dunno... Just an idea...
I can't code though, and can't map that well either. I've had a discussion going with donkie, and we turned out with some cool ideas we will need modelers though, so I'm going to put a team together. First it turned out that it would be better with more gamemodes, so I came up with Tower Defence, but donkie said only do TD. AND I AGREED, and yes I know there is already a TD gamemode out there, but.. who cares, if this turns out good, we'll make it better.

Team:
- Pushpin (Founder & ideas)
- Donkie (Co-Founder, coding & Ideas)
- Soul-KFC (Mapper, decent moddeller)


Tower Defence:
- First time playing = 500 credits free, untill you are able to buy towers. (lvl 1, can build 3 towers. Each 3 levels earned will let you build 1 more tower. and each lvl you gain, you get a dmg bonus
- Somewhere in the map is a stand, where you can buy towers. they will cost loads of credits.
- The enemies will drop materials, which with you are able to upgrade towers.
- Next there is overview of the map, where you are able to begin to build your tower. it will take time before it is done, you can buy (perma)  upgrades for this too.
- This is done together yes, and you get Exp based on the dmg done by towers directly, and at the end of the match

I rock at paint.

EDIT: each person on the court(Max. 5 ppl here?) will get 5 tries or so, the next round begins with the other players. also, the winner of a round (most points) Will get bonus points



Also,
 

EDIT:
Ok I made something VERY quick in hammer, to get the general idea:

But we can make it better!

I started Modeling, and i know how to map.
I'd be glad to help.

Edit: I think the way the other TD had the system was perfect.
Upgrade your towers Permanantly.
Buy them in game for creds.

Also dont do 3 free tower just start with like 100 credits or something.

I thought something like just an open field with some obstacles, and that you build towers so that they have to go around,
____________    |
  _____________|
____________   |
   ____________|         <-- like that, starting above (That you must build them like this) it needs way more strategy this way

[Soul-Chicken]

Good god no
Keep it to a set path with maybe some leak areas to keep it varied.

I hate that kind of TD game where you gotta build the walls aswell.

[Paper-Burn]

Alrigthy then..
started on map, just the basic concept..

Spawn point:


The path they will follow:


Goes op a level here:



Added some stuff... The grey area's are the building areas, here you can build your stuff. I think im going to make this just seperate squares, where 1 tower can be build on.

[Paper-Burn]

Okay... I thought about something, what about doors for the NPC's? That they have like a progress bar above their life bar, how far they are hacking the door?
And manhacks too, special anti-air turrets, which deal much more dmg than normal ones, but can only shoot in the air, and of course, as the best turret, the IMMA FIRIN'MAH LAZOOOR! one. both land & air!

EDIT: Oh and yes, maybe we could make something that they have to pick up packs and then proceed to their final destination, this can be back to the start, or to another tunnel, based on the map.

EDIT2: OOI, Maybe some water monsters!! That you have to place U-boats!
