[Programmer][Music][Share] want to make Hero TD game

Player controls a hero and can hire units, build towers to protect his castle from incoming huge waves of enemies

in general i'm looking to make a small demo  that we can upload on itch

if that demo gets enough attention, we could upscale the game, otherwise - we could go for a different idea

◆Level system◆

Each unit, including player and enemy units, levels up whenever they land a hit on their opponent or use their abilities

  • Stats increase automatically
  • Stat gain depends on unit type (warriors get more HP and some attack, healers - increase mana pool and a lil bit of everything else)

◆Units◆

Units try to stay in a certain area around player’s hero

Whenever units leave that area, even if they are engaged in combat they run back inside the area

◆Abilities

At unit’s max level

Player’s hero abilities

  • Strong Attack ability
  • A lot of hp
  • Heal ability - heals only other units
  • area mana regen - creates an area where all units regenerate an amount of mana thats double of its use cost over time

Healers 

  • Weak attack ability
  • mana regenerates very slowly
  • Single target heal - can heal all units

Warriors

  • Decent attack ability
  • A lot of HP

All units hp regenerates very slowly, making it important heal using abilities

◆Building◆

Units can be hired in structures that player needs to build manually

  • Limited number of units per structure

Can also build defensive towers - they’re stronger than low level units, but can barely stand against even a single decently leveled up unit.

◆Currency◆

earned by killing enemies

proportional to killed enemy’s level

◆Upgrades◆

Each structure provides upgrades for units it spawns

Warriors barracks

  • Taunt ability
  • Minor health pack (consumable)

Healers shrine

  • Minor mana pack (consumable)
  • Defense buff ability (increase defense of its target for a short time)

Blacksmith

  • Upgrade warriors armor, weapon damage
  • Upgrade healers mana pool and mana regen

Castle

  • Upgrade hero armor, weapon damage, mana regen, hp regen
  • Additional abilities


---------◆Current state◆---------

i haven't done any art for the game yet, but i'm about to start doing so

since i'm not a programmer or a sound guy - none of that has been done either yet


--------- About me ---------

Yo, I'm Cookie and i'm a weeb an artist

- timezone - UTC +3

--------- What i can do ---------

  • i can take care of everything thats related to art 
  • and since art is mostly based on Story, i'd like to take care of that stuff as much as possible too
  • my strongest point is characters, since i have most experience with them, everything else (like environments, ui and such) will take some time to get to the same level
  • no experience with animation, but i think i can learn that too

--------- Games i'm interested in most ---------

  • Sci-fi / fantasy (preferably both)
  • RTS like / management games
  • - anime, knights aesthetic 
  • - growth (skills, stats, building stuff, upgrades etc.)

some examples of games i like

  •  - kenshi, ftl, warcraft, starcraft, majesty, the guild, mount n blade, empire at war, xcom, exanima, etc.

--------- Art examples ---------

ArtStation - Cookie

A smol cooking game i worked on (2d art), though it got abandoned, so not much to share



--------- Contact info  ---------

- Not looking to join an already existing project -

\/ \/ \/

Discord - cokieh

Discord server - this is gonna be the game's server 


see ya

sent you a discord request

so i would like to make a game with you..... and also a few more questions: do you also make 3d art or does it only stay to 2d, and do you just paint or would you mind if you must also "paint" levels?

in general i'd prefer to keep to 2d art as much as possible, but yeah if really necessary i might learn other skills. 3d models are definitely gonna be on the simpler side if i have to do those

if you're asking whether i can do level design - i haven't done it before but see no problem in trying it.

i meant more maybe i can make you like a template of a platformer (or something like that) in 2d (or 3d because that would be funnier) and you could like just design the levels.... then you have like your own game where you can't fall out anymore

Hey Cookie, I'm right after a Game Jam ready to take on new challenges, let's catch up in discord!
