Freezing or poison sniper, explosive sniper or machine gun
yeah I mean, I thought about making those. But it seems kinda gay that I would have all of the poison-fire-freezing and shotgun-sniper-machine gun combinations. By that I mean have poison shotgun, freezing shotgun, fire shotgun, etc.
that's true, but I think the upgrades should be general (more barrels, faster fire rate, etc.) but you should be able to chose or imbue either one or multiple attributes, that way the game is dynamic
automatic shotgun
an upgrade for the shotgun, with faster reload time? I already made an upgrade for the shotgun, so...
yea but why not have another that's only a single shot, but automatic?
landmines (explosive, poison, freezing, shockwave, magnetic, etc.)
Again, I already have landmines, and I don't want to wear out the idea.
you should be able to choose more than one upgrade
cluster bomb
Ima probly add taht in somewhere l8r. As a upgrade of the grenade launcher probably.
bitchen
napalm
Like... what does it do? anything special about naplam?
splash and fire which spreads and causes continual damage
void
Isn't that like a black hole or something? :P
Cuz that's been suggested.
ah too much to read
sludge (instead of freezing, it just slows them down)
Well, if I have freezing, then what's teh point? All freezing does is 'slows them down'.
freezing should stop them, where as sludge would slow them down, but do more damage
water
meh. pure physical damage - nothing special. It's not that it's not cool, but I have enough pure, physical damage turrets, with no other special ability (ex. sniper, shotgun, etc.)
do they all have to be fancy?
laser
Have laser turret, and the gamma ray and adv. gamma ray are pretty much just cool looking laser turrets.
railgun
isn't that like my vulcan turret (minigun)
no, a railgun is a purely electrical gun that accelerates a conductive projectile along a pair of metal rails. the navy got one to shoot a 7lb bullet seven times the speed of sound
Light gas gun, Scram cannon, kinetic energy penetrator
those ur gonna have to explain.
light gas gun is "highly specialized gun designed to generate very high velocities"
scram cannon is a fast cannon "The scram cannon uses a projectile that uses supersonic combustion ramjet technology to increase the muzzle velocity to levels that are impossible with normal gunpowder based guns"
A kinetic energy penetrator is pretty much armor piercing
rifle
sniper rifle?
no, it would be in between the basic gun and the sniper
the regular gun would be the equivalent of a piston, then upgrades to the rifle, which upgrades to the sniper
fission nuke, fusion nuke
Do they do nething special from the existing nuke launcher? My mini-nukes have a small radius of explosion, but a very large radius of radiation (poison).
fission is small (atomic), fusion is huge (hydrogen)
thermonuclear, Dirty bomb, Cobalt bomb, cruise missile, ICBM, Neutron bomb, Electromagnetic, Uranium hydride bomb, BFG 9000, Heat-Ray
holy shit. That's like gibberish to me xD. explain?
lol:
dirty bomb is "The term dirty bomb is primarily used to refer to a radiological dispersal device (RDD), a speculative radiological weapon which combines radioactive material with conventional explosives"
Cobalt bomb would wipe out all enemies on the screen, but has a huge reload time
ICBM would have the largest range
Neutron bomb is more energy and no radiation
Electromagnetic would be a combo turret of electricity and magnetic
BFG 9000 is the big fucking gun from doom
heat ray is "The Heat-Ray is essentially a directed-energy weapon that incinerates anything it comes into contact with. It instantly sets ablaze flesh, vegetation and anything else flammable. When the Heat-Ray hits water, it almost instantly turns it into steam. It is also capable of melting metal."
Hydra-Cannon
didn't you already say water gun?
lol, way different. it's from transformers
Shrink ray
lol.
come on, lol, if they were smaller, they would have less armor and speed
smart gun
makes them smarter? XD. i dont get it. explain?
oh nevermind, I confused it for sentry gun. it's a gun that shoots just by thinking about shooting.
Needlegun
shoots needles? going for the high-tech theme here, and besides it's just physical damage w/ nothing special.
shoots extremely fast but with little damage
Tractor beam
wuts that.
haha, it's what ufo's use to pull people or cows into their ship. it would be able to pull them anywhere
stunner
4 slowing turrets is enough.
a stunner would not be as slow, but it would push them back
saber
high-tech theme...
the difference between this and a laser would be the laser shoots out several streams, where as the saber would shoot one continual stream, hitting everyone in it's path, then having a slow reload
Antimatter
wut exactly does it do? I know what antimatter does, but that would blow up the whole field, including ur computer :P
haha true, it would turn the opponents inside out
arrow
same as saber.
not a saber as a sword, but an arrow like a bow and arrow.
biological (infects and spreads)
Spreads how? If an enemy unit comes within a predefined radius of another, infected, unit, it gets infected as well? idk, ill think about it. Sounds cool.
yea just like that, every unit in its radius gets infected and spreads
suicide weapon that causes the target to explode after a few seconds with splash to fuck up the other dudes,
I don't like the turret-exploding concept.
no, the turret wouldn't explode. instead, it would shoot off idk tnt that sticks to the enemy then after a couple of seconds, it blows up. this would be good if you don't have any turrets in a certain area
radiation
already have like 5 toxic turrets?
lol, so? a pure radiation gun wouldn't do that much initial damage like the nukes, but it would have a very fast and rapid radiation rate
and what about a close combat weapon like a flail, something that smashes, or pushes back.
u already know the answer B)
Do your towers have health? Then you could make different health towers.
No. not in this release.
is there gonna be splash?
Like over half of my current turrets do.
epic!
i can explain every single one of these, so just ask.
B)
Thank you very much, man. You must have thought a lot about these turrets. I appreciate the effort. Some, and quite a large sum as well, needs explaining, and I think some have potential. Perhaps you can provide the concept, and I'll work out the details.
I'll try my best. The only strong suggestion I have to say is that you should have regular upgrades, then from there you can customize them with either fire, radiation, disease, freezing, sludge, poison, etc.
