I’m Making The Most FLOPPY Tower Defense Game!

Today I added tons of new upgrades, towers and maps as well as steam matchmaking to my tower defense game where one huge player controls the map by placing towers and using abilities, whilst the little players must all get to the end of the map in order to defeat the huge player!

This game is literally going to be so fun when its out bro

[@nahnope-bc2qj]

seriously bro

[@EpicGamingMikkel]

Agreed bro😁

[@BlueDinoGuy_]

wait till it’s payed 💵

[@xxskbidimaster69xx]

​I'd still pay for it, also thank you for hearting me!

[@ZIMOU2014]

​@@BlueDinoGuy_ braian would never do that to us right?

[@ThomasL12.]

why does this game look better than half of the new releases coming out

[@Breadbug90561]

31 likes and no replies? Let me fix that!

[@ThatBattleCatsUnit]

​@@Breadbug90561 no

[@Kobe-Saikai-Incident]

Because it has passion

[@snoozymac2377]

Because a game made TO be bad is better than a game made decent yet also funni

[@hungary226]

True

[@cheezum]

A cel/toon shader would really improve the game's visuals! Keep up the great work!

[@jappyproductions4429]

Good idea!

[@SIK_Mephisto]

The slapping mechanic seems really fun with a lot of potential. Make walls you can slap through with your grubby arms that can be repaired by chucking money at it or perhaps even give them weapons to attack the big player with or the ability to temporarily disable turrets by slapping them

[@Thecooldudenoob]

That's a pretty good idea

[@Meme-made]

gloves. Like those foam fingers or something. It would shoot and it would disable/de-evolve towers. A fun balance change. But the gloves come from the head thing, and cost a lot.

[@mr.notaku9748]

a suggestion: make so that a shadow is casted where the Big Player mouse is pointing. that way the mini players can know where hes going to place his towers (maybe adapt that feature to an item?)

[@LumiDerp]

this game seems amazing, and I know you probably get so many people commenting ideas but maybe you could make the stealthy cactus be seen like Cypher's tripwire in Valorant? Either way, good luck with the game and take your time I'm looking forward to playing it, and also is there anywhere I can donate to you from? :))

[@BraianStrak]

Good idea :) nope not at the moment, thanks for the support though!

[@willversion7914]

I think you should add a new tower (Ballista) 1. Ballista - deals no damage when up close and deals a lot of damage when far away . It shoots 1 arrow that will go through any shield but it would take a long time to reload. Pls don't make the arrow too slow cuz i could just dodge them and you can just work on the upgrades I'm sure you can make 2 upgrades based on the tower. Hope u release the game soon! :)

[@goblinninja3367]

make a possessed topple spanner tower that try's to push the player of. pleasssssssssssssssssssssssssss I don't think this would get loved but it would be cool.

[@jetiscool608]

Poor little guy, he just wants to overthrow the monarchy itself.

[@baumerrr]

Great job! The game looks really promising!

[@bitratebenny2856]

This is unironically such a good mix of an entertaining video and a kickass game concept that is being executed brilliantly.

[@humarairfan765]

This video was amazingly entertaining. this game is gonna be so epic I can’t wait for the gameplay

[@nowayitsgrob]

I really like the game concept, but look into changing the character models from boring old colours. A lot of games fall into the trap of having colored "bean" characters, like fall guys or gang beasts, etc. And I think the player models for those games are cute, don't get me wrong, but the enough games have it to the point it's boring and not unique anymore. If you want this game to really stand-out, I recommend coming up with a more creative character design that isn't so generic.

[@slashen00]

Hammering the fists might be easy (or hard-- I suck at code as well) Potential solution: as long as he doesn't do the weird pose after doing this, anchor the feet, legs, and hips. Everything should come from the back, arms, and upper body movements hopefully. By anchoring him, you should be able to freely move the upper body to move him. As for reaching without stretching, and making him dynamic on the track, there should be a way to make set "paths" that he slides along. The players can't see the legs, so making him walk won't be needed.... but you basically slide him slowly along when the "slam" choice is selected, slipping along a set path to position to hit. Basically have the game show a range bubble around him, and those are the areas he can reach built into the slam animation. Slide him along the track while selected, animate him sliding, and when he is in range you confirm the location to slam. Hopefully my tired brain got through those thoughts... I need coffee. Keep up the good fight of working on this!

[@Tres072Ultra]

you should add a day and night cycle. and will it be free?

[@ItsVasl]

love this, can't wait man, really believe in this and you!

[@Basemxnt]

Excited for this one. I hope you can have friends in game and invite to games together and just public matchmaking.

[@QUBIQUBED]

6:30 duude! This is so relatable, thing works completely fine yesterday, I don't even open the code, and it breaks tomorrow

[@Mrmann-Y]

You should add a feature to where when you’re a little guy you can buy items and damage the traps set by the big guy, thus making them less useful, also the upgraded traps would have a higher resistance to the items

[@commentturtle9892]

Thank you for making the fan i suggested!

[@littnuke]

Thank god you finally turned this channel into a cooking show

[@godcraft1489]

Bro this game looks so good and your videos are amazing please keep uploading

[@jurrasictoast6655]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OART 2 LETS GOOO LOVE YOU AND TEWTIY

[@sirclownhead]

I have been waiting for this for sooooo long!

[@atomictraveller]

i'm a old dev using just win32 no sdk and skinning for the first time, no models just procedural mesh. there's a lot of obvious good things about self sourcing, but i wanted to let you know, i just spent three days trying to fix a two statement rotation that just started working all of a sudden as well, so i still go through that too ;)

[@Darknessed1]

Really excited for this game to be released!

[@CappywuzhereYT]

This game will be goated when its out

[@SeiaiGaming]

Main Menu suggestion: the typical perspective of a small player lookin up at the giant player. when you open something like options, the giant pulls the options up from the ocean or something. when you press play or quit: the head and eyes fromt he giant jerk from lookin down at the general direction of the island, to looking directly at the player/camera, and then he either picks the player up and flings him away(quit game) or bends over and swallows him(play/matchstart). and when the game starts, the giant vomits all the players onto the small island, so you even have an immersive start :D

[@Whalemanthewhale]

you should add a flamethrower it does progressive kb it dose very little but every 5 sec (you can change that if you want) it will kb a little bit that could make really good strategy or a rocket launcher its like the cannon but its one use and it is very inaccurate but instantly kb in the water/lava/acid/whatever else there my memory is ass also one more thing i would like it if you make a Easter egg for your balloons game these idea are pretty bad i know but its what i thought could make it more fun for the mega player.

[@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8]

1:47 as a gardevoir fan I knew exactly what that joke was…. And that freaked me out

[@bignosh]

never cripple your game by comparing it to fall guys 💀

[@skelobones]

never cripple fall guys by comparing it to topple tactics.

[@AceticGaming]

@@skelobones its a joke because new fall guys maps suck

[@joeperk24]

Still can't wait for this! Very excited!

[@rykagehrkogehrke9036]

Nice! The cucumber reminds me of the poles in fall guys!

[@Shapeshifter_bot]

tower idea: taser makes the player move randomly and/or gives them more colliders (so basically just use electricity as a weapon)

[@Ghosterror-98]

This game is gonna be so popular as soon as it gets released.

[@kcajj]

this probably wont be added or seen by you but i think it would be pretty cool if the big guy could spawn in npcs that go across the track but spawn at the end and slap the players

[@butterstutter7303]

You should make some new maps which have a bit of elevation so that the mini players can go up hills and stuff like that

[@exi_m7074]

Small idea after you fix your stuff: Players should be able to get weapons in the match! Ideas for weapons: A staff that allows you to make fake players that run to the end A sword/hammer that lets you destroy 1 or 2 path obstacles

[@jaredalexander3130]

Idea: maybe an upgrade path for the minion players that can try to build short cuts place somesort of bridge or etc. Can nerf it by making there be limited number of placemnts or that ots desteuctable if the minions accidentally bait the towers into shooting it

[@nikolasapostolidis1842]

do a slap upgrade path like explosive slap and things like that! great video btw

[@chaoticsilver8442]

Excited for this

[@Gabriel.570]

You are like dani dev and i love that

[@Ratking47682]

I know this might be hard to make, but I think in the beginning fight the last player standing should have a cut scene where their body starts to grow, and they fall off of the island. you see all the other wobbly guys looking at what’s going on when suddenly the giant mega player emerges from the ocean, Godzilla style. And maybe the mega player could deflate like a balloon, if he loses. you don’t have to add these, but I think it would be cool.

[@Ratking47682]

The growing would be something like the nutty professer

[@chickenNuggetWithaGun]

1:46 don’t worry kids he’s going to play poki

[@Adrian-op8tj]

Ngl for sure gonna play this

[@zenovax8759]

Oh wow. Bro went from having 3k subs to getting a silver play button. Man, times have changed. Great video as usual

[@sungurovstudios57]

Can you make a multiplayer game where you draw paintings. In this game you can paint, change color, fill or erase. You can change brush size in this 64×64 paper. There are 4 gamemodes, such as: Sandbox, Guess the Drawing, Red Monster and Paint Wars. Sandbox is where you draw stuff. Guess the Drawing is a guessing game where a random player is given 2 categories and when the player picks one, the player needs to draw it for the other players to guess. The MAX amount of players is 9. Paint Wars is a game where 4 players paint in different colors. The player who paints the most wins. Red Monster is a very interesting game where 8 players draw a category when the 9th player is sleeping. When the 9th player wakes up and is looking through the small hole to rank the players' drawings.

[@96Wezi96]

About the waiting for the next round: You can consider an extra challenge for every dead player. Based on how well they performed, they will get better boosters at the beginning of the new round. This challenges between rounds could be little races or parkour challenges, for example

[@96Wezi96]

That way, the frustration of dying gets compensated, and you bring a chance for a new player to compete with the pros

[@pifruto9964]

What if : for every little guy that goes to the end of the game, the big guy get money for upgrades, and the little guy get a point. The little guys have a shared total of lives and when it's over the game is over the player with the most points wins, the number of death is added to the screen to the how well the big guy performed, and a new big guy is chosen. Game becomes progressively more difficult, duration of a game can be adjusted by the players by choosing how many lives they get in the common lives pool, and it's important for players to go fast : If they are slow and the other ones are fast, they'll give money to the big guy and the game will become harder so they'll get less points. It introduces a race between the players, and the better they are the faster the big guy can upgrade.

[@imasocialbutterflful]

Idea: add night vision goggles that let you see the stealthy cucumber temporarily.

[@LoadingBugX]

I can't wait when this game comes out!

[@thomasfeest72]

Idea: add an upgrade that lets you hijack towers and use them to help you (like launching yourself towards the goal)

[@dezmas9332]

The angry cucumber can be a little much on a map with tiny platforms, so having alternate paths or a slightly wider map could do well

[@sandrinecestmoi892]

Yes it Can make the game literally impossible for small guys

[@lucasjones5805]

Ohhh!!! When you look at his channel and press videos it shows the full big guy!

[@thomasmoore4207]

Can’t wait for this icl

[@Thechocolateking]

I already know this is gonna be fun with it comes out keep up the great work

[@IDKwhattoupload]

I just watched your first video on this then you uploaded

[@Mariofan-lz5gf]

This is copy pasted from the last video with slight changes. 1: Add a fourth branch, weaponry. Weaponry serves as a way to counter the mega player, and to use them, you have to enter some sort of first person mode, allowing you to shoot a tower of choice. The first item is a slingshot which stuns towers for 0.5 seconds. The second is the water gun, which reloads slightly faster and stuns for 1 second. The first of the two final options is the musket. It reloads incredibly slow but completely destroys towers. The mega player can spend points to fix it, and upgrades to the tower will be kept. (For example, if a golden cannon gets shot by the musket, instead of reverting back to a normal cannon upon being rebuilt, it stays golden. The other option is the drone, which flies close to the mini player, and fires extremely quick, but towers will recover in 0.3 seconds, and you also lose the ability to aim with the drone, instead the drone shoots the tower closest to the player. 2. (This part is outdated with the new maps but the map ideas are nice.) New maps. I like the first map, but you didn't show much of the second, with annoys me. Pet peeves aside, I think that you should add at least 2 more maps. I also think each map should have assigned difficulty. The grasslands one looks like it could be easy, The volcano one could be medium or hard, and the new ones, there will be a medium/hard one, and an impossible one. The medium/hard level takes place on a mountain where the mini players start up top and the end is near the base. The height difference gives the minis an advantage, as they can snipe towers from afar. Because of this, weaponry items are at a slightly higher price, maybe a 20% increase. The impossible map takes place in a maze-like space station with several branching paths. Gravity is lowered here, so knock back is reduced, and black holes are stronger, because of the environment. But as not to give mega an advantage, he has a new problem in this level. The mega player is stationed outside the station. He is in a very leaky space ship. But this means he has limited oxygen. The mega player can press a button in order to refill, but you can't place or upgrade towers while refilling. I'll let you figure out the layouts of these maps.

[@jaydenprankuploads]

while waiting for Dani to come back, watching this guy is pretty fun aswell.

[@liammccartney6754]

You know how when in mario 64 when he touches lava he flys into the air? Maybe that could be a hot coal tower you can place on the track or something to launch mini players into the air.

[@MezW10]

i cant wait for this

[@thedudepizza22]

CANT WAIT

[@poisonarrow1667]

This looks amazing! When will it be released?

[@theshadowthie1]

If there's one thing I'd have to add to your backlog, is to add controller support, since I use a laptop on a bed it's more convenient for me to connect a controller to play PC games, even for simple ones, hopefully the controls are comparable with a controller

[@MoonSpider1]

Each day i look and wait to see it come on steam

[@normal.knight]

Quick question is ganna be free because if it cost money I can't buy it.

[@skystormgaming]

Wishlisted, and playing as soon as I can! Also, will the mini or mega players be customizable? like, colors or skin patterns?

[@diredm3889]

I would love it If you could see from the first person view of the Big player, When playing as the Big player I'd love to be able to look down on every one and really feel how big I am

[@marshalllindeman7914]

man i always want to make a game myself but just don't have the right pc for it right now. i hope it goes great tho! also this might seem like a stupid idea, but what if there were towers that are like only able to be places for that specific map and every kind of map has something different. or how about different variations of the maps for example: the same theme but there is 2 islands that the player can spawn on (if that is difficult maybe like having 2 paths that lead to the same goal) maybe also add some stupid sounds for the characters like totally accurate battle simulator has could also have some towers that are like blurring the vision or like making the floor slippery? i do understand that you don't want to do that since most of the towers you said were more based on knockback. it would be funny if you could just throw something at the giant just to piss the player off for no reason. i am going a bit far with these ideas i will stop now but i hope everything goes well, cannot wait to try it!

[@susgus837]

i think you should make the lobby bigger and add multiple modes,so u should be able to add minigames in the lobby like pong.(OR U CANT DO DAT)

[@rafa_5020]

Being the bug guy in vr would be reaaaaly fun

[@noobiegaming3820]

This game seems amazing but has very few towers that’s why I think you could add a tower that looks like the player and it spawns from the base and runs towards players to try and slap them off the map and the upgrades are your choice

[@filosgamer]

cool maybe you do a little demo so players can already fell how its going to be?

[@Havana-er4xq]

i wishlisted this game and im inpatient to wait for the game to come out

[@destroyerag7800]

Make gear or like special stuff that the giant player can have maybe like modifiers example towers move slower but you gain more gold, you gain less gold but your lasers deal more knockback, or your towers deal more knockback but have a terrible aim but you could just do weird useless cosmetics cus that works too.

[@amirmouslih5]

[@nollamadrama3408]

this looks so good i need it now it looks like so much fun

[@Grayestspore]

tower idea: the tower spawns slapable minions to slap off the tiny players attacking you the upgrades make the slap harder and one of the paths give the minions guns the other makes the slap harder

[@ChiupelAnimations]

player ability idea, and some towers PLEASE NOTICE ME, REPOST Name: Awaken, My servant or Mighty Warrior This ability will let you spawn as a mini player that has a sword/gun, being able to kill/push the enemy mini survivors(the players that survive the cannons and stuff), you will control this for 30 seconds, but mini survivors will have an upgrade in the utility node that lets them kill the mega player's minion For towers: A crossbow, slow and medium knockback but has a HUGE range, for final upgrades it can be either a double crossbow or a crossbow with fire arrows A flamethrower, constant speed and will be AOE (can hit multiple players) but extremely low knockback, can be either a bigger blue flamethrower or a red flamethrower, blue will have increased range and aoe, red will turn into single target and will have a better knockback A flying book that shoots thunder strikes, for speed it will be constant, like a flamethrower but single target and decent knockback, can be upgraded to a big, slow fireball or a fast, small energy ball that will deal nice knockbacktowers

[@addpotatohatpleasewattdesigns]

i think that you should make one of the hats a potato hat. maybe when wearing it you could press a button to eat the potato and turn invincible and super fast for a few seconds.
