Proposal

Our game will be a Tower defense styled game. Where enemies spawn on one side of the map and you have to prevent them from getting to their destination as they wind though the paths. The camera will be in a fixed position over the field. Looking down at the world at around a 30-45 degree angle. The player will be able to rotate this camera 90' around the field but that is it. The player will start with an undetermined amount of money that will allow him to buy towers to defend off the incoming waves. The towers will be modeled in 3DS max and imported into the game. The game will have a max of 2-3 towers upon finish. There are multiple types of waves that the player will encounter: fast waves, slow but strong waves and boss waves; There could be more depending on the time we have.

Outline

  • Fixed 3D camera looking down at the world on an angle from the four compass directions. (player controlled)
  • Multiple waves of enemies
  • Grid based tower placement.
  • Node based waypoint enemy movement.
