I was looking at the front page news, and there was something about a map called towerassault for some mod. Anyway it got me thinking; how much I would enjoy a "tower defence" style mod for Source. You know, like the tower defence maps for Warcraft 3.
There's a few reasons I think this would make a good mod:
1. Easy to start with. You could make a simple version of this mod relatively easy, just build it off half life 2, bascially, have X amount of player spawns, then some places where the enemies spawn, and just get points per enemy, and make the waves come larger and larger. A score system for this would be easy for you coders I preume (I'm not a coder though, so it may be impossible for all I know eh?
2. It would be relatively easy to make maps for too. They wouldn't have to be big.
3.Would be fun. How popular is tower defence for warcraft 3? Also, look at sven co-op, it seems people like playing together in teams.
4.Could be greatly expanded upon. Eventually, if you got around to it you could even make them spawn defencing structures or soemthing. But at first I was thinking just shooting hte emimies, then you could make it so you got more powerfull (IE more damage and stuff) the more enemies you killed. You could maybe have a money system to buy etems too.
I have no will to make this mod, I can't code etc. But I would really love to play a mod like this.
I would also like to apologise if someone is allreaddy making this mod or has suggested this idea.
What do you guys think? OBviosuly I haven't thought it though, I saw the news item, then registered here and posted about it
