Definitely add more maps. I think that the maps can be longer or divided into diffrent difficulties. You could also take inspiration from the game rock of ages. It's a similiar game to yours. You could add towers like fans, hot air balloons that shoot from the sky, some enemies that attack the mini player and you must run from them. You could also add a mode where the gian player is played by a bot. Your game is very interesting and has a potential. Take all the time you need. This game will be amazing!

A cool ability for the runners could be a smoke screen making them invisible to towers as long as they're in the smoke screen. Or like a small EMP to temporarily disable surrounding cannons and or machine guns.

[@dhrumildave4221]

Smoke Screen (should come under utility ig) sounds good for longer maps, but disabling surrounding cannons sounds broken as other players can take advantage too. Imagine 5 people skipping more than half of the map by precisely using the ability one by one, or using the ability at tough spots, thats when the giant guy's strategy can get ruined.

I know you spent hours on how the legs are animated now, but I really do think the physics based walking is a lot more appealing, and adds more challenge. If physics legs are re-added, I think a tower that’s basically a fence would be cool, as it would make it mandatory for the player to jump and clear the fence without tripping, also making them more vulnerable to knock back. A grabbing mechanic could be cool as mini players could save others by pulling them back onto land, also adding strategy to having a heavier player hold on to the lighter player.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

This looks really cool but right now there is a couple concerns I have. It looks like towers aim at where you are meaning speed and jump upgrades make you untouchable. Shields physically block shots so you can have people up front tanking requiring turrets on each side canceling both turrets. You designed the map before the upgrades so people can jump 2-3 important gaps causing potential issues. Using the time stamp of 2:30 as a visual reference. From start to the right bend. From the left bend to the end. The S at the end of the level. You must cover all 3 major gaps or speed players can ignore anything you build yet if you cover those gaps shield players have to block less. You actively have to cover 6 gaps for speed players specifically and those gaps have to be able to handle a shield player drawing aggro away so 3 speed players can't just jump but also not neutralize other towers with an equal force. To cover these gaps have significant risk as towers may be used as potential platforms or knock back meaning non-speed players gain an option to make it. This is why if you want an area which requires a specific power you want 2 uses of said thing. For example that gap between start and the right bend imagine it was bigger with an island in the middle. The island requires a speed or jump upgrade to jump onto and requires it to jump back onto the main path as well. This little bit of distance makes exploiting towers harder as it has to be done twice and also lets the builder make a trade off. A tower at the first jump effects everyone, a tower at the second jump only effects jumpers and pushes others down the path but because the jumper is on a small island it is much more likely to knock them off into the water.

[@malwarehost807]

[@coolsans5097]

Here's a few ideas off the top of my head: -more active abilities for the miniplayers Currently they seem to only have passive upgrades, active upgrades whilst something that tower defense rarely have for their enemies will be very good for replayability since you can try out different strategies, some ideas would be: being able to stun the big player for a few seconds, not allowing them to do anything. Or maybe just a grapple hook ability that will allow you to skip certain parts of the track These ability upgrades could be a seperate tree and dependant on which map you're playing or just accessible everywhere depending how you do it As for more passive abilities you should add a cyborg abil9ity to the tank tree, It would make you super resistant to knockback and enhance that weak shield that protects all angles And my last idea is simple: synergies between upgrades: For example speed shoes + cyborg = rocket shoes just stuff like that that makes certain combinations more powerful, would be a useful balancing tool for stuff that might be a bit weaker whilst giving that extra bit of depth to the game

[@rewpertcone8243]

I like your first idea, but stuns are never the way to go. One of the biggest principles of game design is player agency, and taking that away is one of the worst things you can do. A prime example of this is brig when she released for OW1 a while ago. She took away players agency with tons of stuns and ruined the game for a while

Would be cool if you had Grass, Lava AND rocky map (u have grass and lava but i think a third map would be cool, water + rock doesnt seen like a bad idea to me) You asked for ideas, so i have some here: Towers Push tower (blasts a wave of air at player and gives them a good amount of knockback) Sniper tower (maybe the only tower that actually does damage? Shoots once every 5 seconds but evaporates the player in one landed shot) Abilities Quake (literally just an earthquake which gives screen shake and moves the players vigorously left and right, throwing some of them off the sides if they arent careful) Skill tree Air resistance suit (player gets zero push from any towers which push players using air. However, due to the weight of the suit, the player speed is reduced.) Suction cup feet (Earthquakes dont affect the player, since he is attached to the floor. However, the player cant jump as high.) Please let me know what you think, ill try come up with more ideas if you like these 😅

[@masterpiece1817]

A few ideas 1. Allowing the big player to make the track longer 2. Another tree for offense, which allow you to mess with the big guy, like a bow and arrow that let you temporarily take out one eye, which makes half the screen black, or go AoT and get ODM Gear to pester the big guy while your friends run for the exit. 3. A tower that sprays soap, which deals no Knockback, but reduces players Knockback resistance. You could alternatively just make it into a Spray Tower that can have pepper spray to temp blind, expanding foam that makes it difficult to move, etc. 4. A night map with fireworks, where the deal-damage-to-big-player-orbs will instead fly at the big player to deal the damage, rather than just making a number go down

[@countspyder4769]

My only idea that doesn’t seem to have already been said is a Tesla tower for the mega player that tazes the mini players. Instead of knock back it stuns them for a short period of time, potentially making them more vulnerable to other towers since they can’t reorient to face the attacking towers (or they can collapse, making them harder to hit, but still unable to dodge) Another thing is tower affects that are extra effective against mini player upgrades. Like the Tesla could be extra affective versus the colossus metal shield, but useless versus the force field. This would provide an extra layer of strategy for both the mega player and the mini player as they attempt to predict and counter each other with upgrade trees.

[@overallsoupman]

Dang the character has a BIG cake. Some ideas I have for the game would be an ability where the players can temporarily freeze the big guy for like 2 seconds. But, this would be like 1000 points or smth.

[@TheBestNameEverMade]

Seems like a pretty cool idea. There should be a few differn't game modes. One mode that would be cool is if players also take turns at being the big player in rounds. Also, a mode with everyone on the track and multiple big players (although networking might be tricky there) on a larger map where it's last to survive).

[@dominikaandglebshchemenok1384]

Suggestion: An accessory which makes the player smaller/bigger. The accessory which makes you bigger gives a bigger hitbox but more tackier, the accessory which makes you smaller gives you a much smaller hitbox but much less tanky.

[@PotatoTheFish1226]

Being severely addicted to btd6 and tower defense KZbinrs, I think the main “lose condition” in tower defense games is either 1. Lots of health or 2. Lots of numbers At the moment you’re leaning very hard on lots of health- which means if you can manage the 2-3 runners then they’re essentially trapped at spawn. It would be cool to be able to spawn minions, clones, holograms to distract turrets etc to give the runners more options than just upgrading themselves, and it gives the defender something to think about even when the players are stuck at the start Also a good way to encourage collaboration! One player dumps their money into tank stats and rocket boots, the other spawns a buttload of really fast units, then that could be a winning strategy I would absolutely love to play this game with my friends and I hope it succeeds! You got this

Think it might be cool to have catapults, ballistas, and hwatchas with the catapults being able to launch rocks into the are very slowly that would squish were just launched everyone near them far away, lister's would also have a long reload time before shooting out one giant bolt that would spear someone off the edge if it hit them and the hwacha would have a very wide radius rapid fire. I also think it would be kind of cool if the big guy couldn't just tap water to send a wave at the players that they would have to dodge or jump over or something as a more active way of trying to stop them but the way would obviously have to be done at a fire their point as to not just be unfair.

[@JackButNarration]

You could Also Make Each Mode Choose between random maps that are for "Easy" difficulties or "Hard" Difficulties. Just an idea, Love your content btw.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

It shouldn't do both at once, there should be an optional to increase/lower costs for both Builders and Runners without influence on the other. Even just lowering the cost for one side massively hinders the other. They now have to dodge more towers or have more upgrades, in the runner's case they have 1 upgrade more a player.

[@briggsgametime]

Flat escalator: (>>>> on the ground) 3. Flowers on spawn room / rainbow on spawn room: increase spawn time 4. Health regen: the reason for this is because I think the main goal should be establishing momentum for your side and outpace the opponent.

A good idea for the Big Player would be a choice of Upgrade where they either get: The Option to put towers on a fixed path, where the total Tower slides back & forth shooting at intervals; which can branch into either: Shooting at players, with a range that it detects before it starts shooting, or choosing a fixed point that it is constantly shooting at, even if no players are in range, but the projectiles dissapear at a certain distance. The other option could be related to rotation or homing, projectiles spinning more accurately. I noticed the towers do home in, but if they had predicitve targetting before firing, so the cannon shooting just in front of players, or the machine gun adjusting its spread based on how close the target is (Maybe called 'Smart Targetting') could allow for different tower placement options.

[@MinhNguyen-sf5jk]

List of idea for you The triple machine gun can turn into a big block of a bunch of machines that can shoot all to one’s and do a lot of knock back in a big area or it can turn into a big and more powerful version of the machine gun. The Gatling gun can turn into a laser Gatling gun or a Gatling gun made from little Gatling gun that shoot a lot of small bullet everywhere The blackhole can turn into a powerful blackhole that suck in particles and pushes the play or a big blackhole that suck on the player more The big shield can turn into a portable bunker that is tanky but have little hole that the bullet go though or turn into a big heavy metal shield that is like the big shield but is super tanky and slow you down and make it harder to jump. The force field can turn into a shock wave force field that can explode and deactivate any nearby gun or mechine but goes away for a little or turn into a life field that gave you a extra life. New tower idea. A radar tower or it can be something else that can stop any that is mechanical that the player have from working or it can boost tower or it can effect the wind and mess up a player jump New tower idea. A wall that bounces you back if you hit but you can jump over it but later upgrade can make it higher New path idea.

Also as a Suggestion for the Game: Maybe a Puddle Players can slip on? Dunno lol.

[@Shapeshifter_bot]

Random idea: spiders Mega player:the spider will shoot webs that knock back the mini player and slow them the upgrades will make it slow the mini more and give a bigger radius for hitting Branching upgrade1: mega spider will halt the player’s movement but has a low fire rate and won’t do any knockback but all knockback delt by other towers will apply but weaker Branching upgrade2:volley weaver will shoot webs at a quick pace many times but will need to charge after a volley of webs but will have a smaller then starting web size Mini player:the spider will stick the player to the ground for less knockback but you have to go back to the spider to move without being basically on a leash and upgrades will let you get less knockback Branching upgrade1:more spiders will let you put down more spiders (max:5) but you will move slower but get well less knockback Branching upgrade2: grapple it will let you grapple a radius to go farther in a short time and get back to the land and the upgrades will let you go for a bigger radius

I think your idea has some problems: Mini players should have separate lives, like playing Fall Guys on a team, or a good mini player is going to be pulled down by the noobs on a pub. It sounds like placing the towers requires some strategy, strategy a new player might not have and it's kinda weird that a noob giant player loses 3x the ammount of lives as a mini player, when he's supoused to be more powerful. If you're going to continue with the 10-10 lives, don't fork the improvements so much, think about the limit of rounds that those lives will allow. Pre-round 1 upgrades for the mini players would be cool, this would bring diversity of gameplay from the start and allow mini players to strategize and play a bit more cooperatively

[@ashketchum7682]

the mega guy should get a slap ability wich swipes across the map and you have to jump over it and split towers and the mega guy's ability into two tabs

[@justsomeuser733]

A great idea would be a giant spawned unit that grabs small players and drops them in the water/lava but can be killed with a few slaps

[@corvaec.kalvidae8822]

Ice hazards. Make the ground slippery or otherwise force small players to slowly drift in a certain direction. Spring traps that knock them up in the air and make them more vulnerable to knockback. A smoke trap that messes with player controls for a short period, with cooldown between puffs. Pendulums, basically just the spinning bar with a rock or something at the end, but spinning perpendicular to the ground. Ground thorns that may cause players to trip or ragdoll. A smoke bomb for small players that will momentarily block the giant players view of a part of the map. An upgrade for the giant player, allowing them to directly control a specific tower. A mortar tower with a wide range that does aoe when it hits, but low accuracy. An ability for the giant player that allows them to create a gust of wind in a chosen direction. This could be powerful in a narrow line or weak but spread over the entire map. Upgrade trees for the giants like storm, ice, and fire giants. With each one having different special abilities and buffs to certain towers. Possibly make super towers available to specific ones. A fire effect that makes players move faster but sporadically, i.e. they will randomly swerve by some ammount. May also be worth adding wider maps with multiple possible paths that overlap in places. Would require balancing. Lightning towers that stun tiny players for a moment. Wouldn't want to be too long, but enough to give other towera a chance to do some damage. A player ability to temporarily shut down a trap or tower. Probably higher level utility. A giant player ability to slam down their fist and cause small players to bounce up in the air. ...i can't think of any more for now. Sorry for the super long comment and i hope this is useful in some way.

[@king124kine]

This is actually an amazing game idea!

[@mydogghost]

It’s out now

[@KyuHikari]

This is the first time i see you, and im already a huge fan of what youre doing I am absolutely thrilled to get this game it looks so funny All i ask for is a wider variety of playable characters (good luck with modelling those lol) and if possible to allow steam link remote play support so several people can play within the same screen/pc If you do decide to implement remote play into it then i think having a top down view with a dynamic camera that subtly follows the general direction of all mini players might be the best way to go In any case, good luck with development, really excited to see how far this project goes

[@tictacctical3030]

Something that could be cool is if there was an option to steal from joe, and if you do, a “hard mode” gets put into effect

[@marcusIV]

Finally, I was going to die of deprivation of amazing devlogs ever since Dani stopped uploading.

[@Polygonetwo]

This is possibly the most hilarious tower defense game ever made. 10/10

[@chrisgund88]

looks fun, a thing I'd imagine to be cool would be a skin for the big guy that influences the theme aka abilities (but think that'd be hella time intensive to implement)

[@DripBaconGuy]

Add something that could make the small players have abilities like: 1-summoning a clone of yourself that lasts for 7 seconds 2-becoming invisible for 3 seconds(invisibility makes towers not target you) 3-uno reverse card that stun towers

[@PlayingRandomGarbage]

A Achilles heel upgrade will make you super fast but fragile I feel if the mega player is almost down this would be a good upgrade

[@frostysnadwich9728]

Idea for a black hole upgrade: it pushes instead of pulling

[@Ystepped]

List of ideas: 1. probably add natural disasters for the huge player 2. Add A voting System/ choose if big player is a player or bot 3. at bot for the huge player in the voting system 4. level system/level up system for player 5. admin commands for owners (if you can do that)

[@Libertysable]

The Game Idea reminds me of a now dead Game called Dungeon Land, the difference is just that is wasnt a Tower Defence Game but a Diablo like with Dungeons. Maybe you can add some Minions that walk towards the Small Players, like Minions that block their Way or make it just harder to get across the Path. Good Work tho!

[@jonahzurn527]

Also maybe add a support specialisation which would help other players avoid being knocked off but would otherwise have very little that helps them specifically. Perhaps something like a dome shield but they can’t move while using it, or a way for the little guys to mess with the big guy, prevent him from placing down towers and such. Maybe something like an ice bomb ability where the big guy freezes the track and makes it super slippery, which could be balanced by making it also slow down or stop all the towers nearby

[@DevonParsons697]

Since players can jump across gaps to shortcut the map, make sure you give the builder some tools to counteract that. It would be so funny to have like a "flyswatter" tower that I can manually activate to swat players mid-air

[@lenny_3_tears]

This looks great. And also WOW the characters are THICC. Put Anaconda as the OST

[@GylenSenpai]

I dunno how hard this would be to implement, but it would be awesome to have the big player be playable in VR (even better to have it on the quest store or other mobile VR stores), and to make it even better, to have atleast the little players playable on mobile (big player too obviously, just less important), just imagine how awesome it would be to whip this game out at a games night or something! Really like the idea and game you made ❤️❤

[@j_wiz1375]

Suggestion: 1. A flopping fish tower. A fish that flops around and deals knock back. 2. Special effects that towers can give e.g. less knock back resistance, blindness, slow, less jump, and some crazy ones like inverted controls, inverted screen, etc.

[@inspectorsteve2287]

2 suggestions. I think it would be cool if Joe (the shop guy) had some secret story that you could find bits and pieces. Second it would be nice if you had the main path but then a second path that's longer and harder but you can collect a coin and if you get to the end the big guy loses 2 points instead of one. Or you can get upgrades faster or something. Great work keep it up.

[@notsocool__]

You have earned yourself a new subscriber! Keep up the good work 👍

[@nardinyouryard]

This is really fun! The map does seem a little small, it seems if you have some upgrades and the rocket shoes/propeller hat combo, the map can be done in like 10 seconds, maybe scale it up a little bit? or make a second mode with scaled up maps?

[@sniplord3051]

I feel like there should be motivation to win rounds, like a shop on the main menu that works like monkey knowledge in BTD6 or lets you get some upgrades right away or faster than others, or just cosmetics

[@pikagammerpluspizza7478]

The player that wins the game gets to kill the defender in a similar manner to Revengeance's first boss.

[@seventeenraccoonsinatrenchcoat]

A map with an ending and also a branching path that leads to some huge thing like a trebuchet or ballista, that can be used once per game for an extra hit on the big player, but it requires several mini players to operate and you have to hit an eye

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

This reminds me of this Lego style building game called blockland and people would build “deathruns” where one group is in an operating room triggering traps while the other group tries to navigate those traps

[@PowerAids]

a bee swarm violently attacking the mini players and stun locking them for 5 seconds as an abilty would be horribly cancerous , i want it
