More about the game.
I plan to make this game rogue - like.
First of all I plan to create random maps. The design of level will remain the same (like 1st map lion forest, second prison...) but the waypoints of enemies and the waves themselves will be different (more or less) every time you play. But let's get to the start of round)
You pick on a character, and u start with several attributes like: dmg, hp, movement speed, projectiles speed, projectiles range, magic resist, physical resist. Also some of them will have piercing projectiles (like deep), some will shoot them really fast, other will shoot few at once...
There will be a chance for dropping an item, when enemy dies. Some of them will be stackable, some of them will be usable, and some of them will be replecable.
The stackable ones will usually give you minor buffs for your attributes (speed, dmg, hp), while the other will give huge boost, which can be used once per wave for example.
Some of items and characters will be initially locked and you will need to unlock them, by doing ingame achivements.

I still need a graphic for characters and backgrounds! We can change the style entirely and work on with something brand new (for example pixel art!).

great ! I always loved tower defense games (that spongebob one) will keep an eye on it.. good luck !

[AmadisLFE]

Waiting for release.
I can Try to make Graphics if u say, any type? I am kinda good at pixel art not good at Flash Like or LF2 Like. I will do the Char Graphics it might take time, Because I am always Busy with some other stuff.

[Alapottra]

WOW excited post the link when it done [*I like this kind of flash games*]

[Hero destroyer]

cooperation? I thought you can do well solo. :S BTW, my sprites differs so much from yours, so I might not be a help.

[Gad]

Making both sides of game takes too much time. Also If I can focus on one thing I can make it better and faster.

[Bupkis]

sounds interesting and looks interesting

[Gad]

Ok. So much progress for now:
• Created a code that allows me to generate levels pretty fast. All I need to is to set the waves and their waypoints.
• Made simple graphics for Bandit and Mark. Not sure if I'll stick with them, but as far as anybody is willing to help I'm going to use these.
You can preview testlevel waves here ;d.

interesting.
especially because i never finished my lf2 tower defense beyond planning phase

how and what kind of "towers" will you make? will there be playable hero characters who can actively attack the troops and stuff?

[Silverthorn]

Haah, this is pretty cool. I really like this character-style. If you plan on letting others help you with them, you might want to offer them a template, though; to match styles a little easier.

Something which could be improved (programmatically) is the z-position of the characters. It becomes really obvious when the Bandits overtake Marks and trample on their chest, head, etc. Essentially, the lower the y-coord, the further behind the z-layer. Could be some 1:1-mapping
