Plasma Tower
 Permanently slows a single target, also dealing some damage.

 Huge splash range, hitting everyone around it.

Sniper Tower
 Huge range, dealing percentage of max health as damage.

Flamethrower Tower
 Deals damage and sets it's targets on fire, dealing damage over time.

Why, every time I post something, there's someone that posts before me and my posts doesn't register. God..

Andy-ways, how does this support multiplayer.
Everyone has the same perks, money, upgrades, benefits.
Is anyone able to upgrade the other' towers.
Does anyone have their own spot, how does this work?

There will be atleast a few where I would need the server atleast half full server for testing, but I will most likely pick people who are online when I decide/have the time to do testing.

This will be Co-op. Supporting probably 16-20 players per server, but not yet decided how much.
Everyone will get money for a kill.
You can only upgrade your own towers.
Depends on the map for spots, but everyone can build any place they want as long as it lets them build there.

I do love a good TD. Only time i hate them is when it's infinite waves and you spend so long building your defences, then you get 100% fucked up.

HOLY F*CK THIS IS GENIOUS.

This looks amazing, I'll probably be playing this when theres not much to do on Hl2RP while I wait for a higher rank or something to get on Hl2RP. But wow, whoever made this deserves a huge effing pat on the back.

^agreed.
Really though, I can't wait to see this up and running, wish I was a tester but sadly I'm not. Really can't wait to see this up so I can get onto something else (hope this doesn't end up like DR where people that do enjoy it never get on since there's never anybody on it (and the coding of the map change so it crashes the server when there's 20 people on)).

I have an idea. Instead of automatic waves. Everyone gets their own bit of area to spawn towers and then you can send out your own enemies and invade other peoples places... kinda like frozen throne.  But yeah your idea is good though.

I remember testing it. It has come a long way! Nice work!

Everything looks good like i said.

Only thing that could need some work is the HUD. Just doesn't fit the style of the gamemode. Gamemodes to awesome to not have a fancy HUD.

Can't wait for this, I thought it already came out :(

This is awesome news!! But it is kinda bad...(Not the game mode). With more servers, other servers will be less populated. But on the plus side gmod players will see this new game mode, and test it thus making the community larger. My hat is off to you.

You have got to be shitting me... This is the surprise? I was expecting like some money on OCRP or something not a whole new fucking gamemode! TOMASAS I don't even know you but I love you. How will it work with other people?

Tomas no offense but that gradient is about as pretty as a 60 year old dead hooker.

Jordan, I'm not sure if this was exactly the surprise in mind from Karma (which I am sure did not work on TTD) but it is shocking to see a new gamemode (and a Tower Defense one at that (FINALLY!!!)) because I knew that there was a admin only TTD section which I can't seem to find (like the donations page) now, guess they must've removed it, but back to the topic. There was some in-game content that Karma was going to give away but he only got through it half way and then he posted his temp leave, so it will probably be when he has been back on for a few days.

Do you know how long his leave is?

Fuck, sorry to get off topic.

Post a suggestion in the TTD board on how to improve it. I didn't have much time to think of a design.

http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=6142.0 - Vote for a new look, or you can suggest different ones.

This was part of the actual surprise, just an fyi.  It was planned to be a three part.  One part OCRP, one part HL2RP, and one part TTD
