I Completely Transformed My Game...

My steam game is releasing soon, so in this video I give it a complete makeover! This game is a 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!

You sound surprisingly relaxed considering you've committed to a release date and are documenting all the fuck ups in a hilarious way. I love watching this series, it is inspiring.

[@kingofblu2067]

It just makes it look better tbh, and shows an answer to “why isn’t it released yet??” I like this way of advertising the game :)

[@drsands2417]

Can’t wait for it to come out!!! I will definitely be playing. (Maps are looking fire btw).

Good game!

Wow He Truly Completely Transformed His Game!!

[@Stonesplashed]

me when i comment on a video right when it releases and tries to make it related

[@zeze3618]

A new tower you called make could be the ‘WALL’ which is a wall that can only be placed in water to prevent players from jumping across the map

[@canceled-fq1sy]

genius

[@taraktaras7327]

pure brain

[@canceled-fq1sy]

i also think there should be a upgrade to black hole called "white hole" which is exactly the same as the black hole but it pushes you instead of pulls ( i havent seen the upgrades of black hollee soooo if its already there just tell me )

[@antired8940]

tower concept catapult shootes at you and hits you with the shield and it will make less useful upgrades a use I think 🤔

[@SupcioX]

I have an idea for you. You could add VR Support. Like, for a giant it's nothing hard, but for the minis, you could make it first peson, so it's easier moving around.

[@Bananana676]

Hey Braian! Im currently loving these vids so i wanna suggest a new tower. This new tower is called the “Flamethrower” which fires small little fire balls and when hit, you will take damage slowly, bumping the players around and lasts for 12 seconds❤

[@nicolejones3686]

It's so fun to watch the process 😄 And the "baking lights" was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@unidentified4737]

Tewtie nailed the voice acting 🤣

FR DUDE i thought i was the only one who thought his sounds were good

[@readwithalice]

Amazing!!! Super excited for the 20th October! Proud of you 💚

[@Wolfiant]

quick suggestion: on items such as the cannons; and the bucket hat at the end (8:00), shade autosmoothing them in blender will make them look much more polished! cant wait to play! :> awesome job on the game!

[@m.b.4165]

This is awesome. It really looks like a fun game. What I noticed are 2 things tho. First the upgrade GUI buttons don't fit in with the other buttons anymore, since the other buttons look more professional now and second. I'd rather have one more tower in the game than a cape. Gameplay improvements and bug fixing are way more important than player customization imo

[@ashtonisvibin561]

the biggest thing im thinking off is just waiting in a lobby, I think a good inspiration would be minecraft mini game servers, having parkour or something along those lines would make waiting around really fun or alternatively you could have some sort of just little push like the smack has to a player, having 3 or 4 homies in a call and just laughing your asses off while pushing each other around in a lobby would make so many great memories. absolutely awesome work, already wishlisted

[@Benw8888]

Awesome! For better matchmaking you could have an option where players waiting can vote to force start a game with less people. Then you need to scale up some numbers though (like the boss health damage upon each completed lap)

[@maiggooo]

Love This series, i would be especially hyped for some sort of VR Port that can crossplay with pc people, would be amazing to set up towers while your frieds can see you waving at them from the bottom. Maybe just after a couple of patches, but it would be great

[@Mariofan-lz5gf]

ideas: 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 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.

[@rml1310]

Make a tesla coil tower, it would be placed on water, and would shoot electricity at nearby players temporarily slowing them down.

[@ZacCatchm]

You should add boxing glove gun for the track How it would work: you place it on the track and every few seconds it shoots out the glove what knocks the players back Upgrade gold and silver thing just add to the size and knock back of the glove Upgrade 1 name: Quad boxer Upgrade 1: shoots 4 large gloves (best used for multiple paths) Upgrade 2 name: BONK Upgrade2: larger glove with a lot of knock back (best used for tight corners) I hope you add this, I think it would be super funny! :D

[@jc.froggy5970]

I WILL buy this game, and I will absolutely enjoy it.

wow keep up the good stuff guy i just want you to know this game was the first video of you i ever watched and i just love your videos keep up the good work💗💗

[@MichaelWelt1980]

Really exited for you to realise this game on steam! keep it up

[@ToGgAlt]

Bro the spazzing out if you waited long enough on the title screen was the best part of the game add in a button in the settings or something to turn that on

[@bodakin]

I would love to see this with VR support. Maybe the sometimes big guy can be in VR and that would be supreme! Also, if you made the big guy climb up to the map/track in the beginning cutscene, that could add lots of emersion to the final product. And finally. Make the cannons configurable, so maybe the double cannon could either shoot both at once, or alternate between shots. And stuff like that. I’ve been a HUGE fan of this series ever since the first video dropped and I have been talking to my friends about this and they’re all on board with playing this game. IT LOOKS AMAZING! I love it. ❤❤❤

[@minercraftmaster622]

Idea for tower: A normal grey wall upgrades: Silver wall Gold wall Two upgrads: A Brick wall A Big wall Weakness: Shields And for the brick wall its weakness is op shields Hope it getz added Great game ❤

Hey Brian. Can you add a tank tower that shoots every 3 seconds but is super powerful. For the upgrades make one of them shoot faster like every 2 seconds and for the next one make a huuuge tank

[@Justcommentinhere]

It will be so much fun to play this game with friends.

[@green124]

i love how calm you sound when you say "giant *fucking* cannon"

[@Stalkehelp]

Waiting for this game!! Keep it up!!

[@BraianStrak]

thanks dood

[@jerryunderdog5912]

Here’s a suggestion, maybe all the small players share a limited amount of lives like Mario, and that’s how the big player can win

[@Kejmur]

Planting static 'human turrets' like humanoid archers that simply shoot arrows for example may add some dynamic. For example, they move in a straight lane, and once in a while shoot arrow(s) at the closest player. Maybe upgraded to primitive guns, to even machine guns? May be instead some simple animal designs, like elephants that may trample and push players away or something similar. Porcupine that can pincushion players, etc.

[@Shotgun_Hamster]

You should add a section with gadgets that are single use! Maybe like a plunger that can stop a tower from working for a limited time. Maybe you can make it for both sides.

[@seraphendipity]

The cannon idea is nice. Can play with it further: side paths to grab a bomb and increase dmg by 1 but makes you slower, or upgrade tree with spiky hat that gives 20% to deal double damage but prevents jumpy hat. Interactivity could be added (such as aiming the cannon) for fun (static big guy) or more interaction (big guy can dodge). Cannons like Cob Cannon in PvZ would be especially good here (expensive, but interactive with cooldown, adding another element of interactivity between the two sides). Reminds me of that Tree vs Squirrel VR game -- that is, an asymmetric VR game where one player is in VR and others on mobile, which is a niche party-game market given the emphasis on "party-game VR" with recent Rifts and such. May be a bit too far from original premise, but allowing things like him reaching down, or blowing, at the risk of the smalls being able to attack hand or head for extra damage would be a unique element.

[@sx0rm]

IMO your shield should have some drawbacks in a more interesting way, for example, fans, i would think that it would be doubly affective since you have a bigger surface area. just a thought!

[@saiftube5833]

Suggestions: can you add mini games while playing the game like every minute the big guy will take the players to an area and make them do a challenge if they win they will get money or something else but if they lose the big guy will make money or like get special tower and the big guy can like try and make them lose like freezeing them or pushing them Also try and make youtubers play it like socksfor1 or another one Oh and also don't make it every minute try like random timer from a minute to 3 minutes a mini game will start And also try and make a secret mode where it will make it like a tower defense for the the players the big guy can send rushes of enemies or like freeze a tower In the tower defense mode Edit:by the special tower i mean he will get 1 super powerful tower out of 3 towers

[@joeperk24]

Genuinely excited for this game! Are you planning on letting anyone in early for further testing before release?

[@user-TheChaoticShadowsOfEvil]

I have a idea for a update look below to see. (Btw im also giving a update name with it as well.) Update Name: Storyline Minigame mayhem. What is in the update: In this update there will be a story mode and bosses in the story mode as well as some extra features and bug fixes. Storyline For Story Mode: You are a normal little floppy guy just chilling around taking a walk when suddenly huge floppy guys come from the depths of the underworld to destroy the planet of floppy guys and when they rise from the underworld they also start to break and flood the lands and you and your floppy friends have to stop them and destroy them and the bosses will have more hp basically a big floppy guy with armor and the final boss is the big devil floppy guy and when you defeat him all the big floppy guys turn to small floppy guys and you and your friends help them become normal floppy guys. I wont explain the extra features because you can decide those i just wanted to get the storyline part done.

[@Jimdeboi]

Tower idea; plane What it does; this plane tower could make it so when selected, it will let you make a certain length path to cover a certain area of the map. This would shoot missiles from a launcher beneath This would have pretty good range and knockback but it's rate would be very slow. This could be useful, letting you use it to cover a big platform Design; this could be a simple plane with a launcher beneath( launcher would probably look like a small hole.) Upgrades; the first upgrade could be a twin launcher, which would add another launcher which shoots the floppy guy with two rockets. Although, if two floppy guys are in range, it would shoot each floppy guy with one rocket. The second upgrade would make the launcher beneath bigger and would deal more knockback Path; the path could be made by two dots you place down and the plane would go up and down the path and you would be able to bend and turn the path. But, you would only be able to stretch the path a certain amount Cost; since I am not sure how much currency you get per kill and stuff like that, all I can say is (in my opinon) since this tower is pretty good compared to the others, you could make it pretty expensive Final note; I know this would be a pain to code but I think it's a really cool idea and I would love to see my idea in this game. Also your game is great, good job Ability idea; decoy (this is separate from the plane idea and is like laser eyes and those abilities) Idea; this decoy would be placed down and would look like a normal AFK player. This decoy would be the same colour as the big player, which is a clue that it is a decoy. If near an actual player it would run towards the player and explode. It would probably run in a straight line, so you could dupe it and bring it in the ocean/lava etc. Knockback; probably middle amounts of knockback since it could catch you unexpectedly but it can also walk into the death zone . Cost; probably a middle amount of currency. Final note; like the plane, I would really like to see this in your game. Both of these ideas are my opinion and I do not expect to see them in the final release

[@charliesgamingplace2371]

Super excited for the release! Game should be super fun!

[@penguin395]

The game looks great!

[@monkeeeeyt]

idea make a tower that is just a boot that kicks super hard but has a super long cool down

sick reallly cool cant wait for this game to come out

I’m very excited for this game it looks so goofy and enjoyable

[@thebe_stone]

i like that it is planned to come out October 20th, since no other games are coming out that day. it will really give your game a chance to shine.

[@IwanRoberts-m8j]

Tower idea: punch in the box. Point it in a direction when placing and every so often it punches.

[@causticsimon1283]

I'm really liking the direction this is taking, minus the neon green, that is rather painful to look at.

[@BradleyChick]

Waiting on this release to buy for all my friends for our annual LAN. Looks like it will be perfect and hilariously awesome.

[@Thomas_Playz_Real]

IDEA: when the big guy dies instead of him exploding like how it is right now make it so he falls onto the map and then explodes

[@IwanRoberts-m8j]

Hat idea: party hat it releases a group of balloons that take damage. Red ones taking one damage, blue two, green three, yellow four, pink five (yes a bloons reference) and the higher the level the more baloons are released different towers would deal different amounts of damage. The balloons disappear after a couple seconds. Edit: it could also work as a shield.

[@The_Kiwi_1]

Can't wait to play it!

[@sueseanruiz3036]

[@calebtaylor4153]

You should do from the big players perspective, when the little guys hit the big player, they splat into the screen ( kinda like smash bros)

[@FNcreative719]

you should make kill animations for coins in game for the big boss so when you kill some eg. they get dug into a grave

[@kellaneds5746]

I love the game so far! Really am looking forward to playing but I think the upgrade tower UI should look a bit better since it’s now very simple compared to the rest of the UI. I also think the big player should have more ways to get money other than killing little guys.

You should add a continue option after you defeat the large player, which would allow you to restore the big players health to 25%, 50%, 75% or full health
