AbsoluteTD

AbsoluteTD is a tower defense game, inspired by GemCraft and Desktop Tower Defense. I decided to go 3D first time with this game. Assets are created in Blender and imported to Godot.

Currently this game a prototype, so please expect lack of fun and crashes. Download link it below.

DevLog

4 May 2021 — Tying Up Loose Ends

  • Added the third and final map.
  • Added music.
  • Enemies now have a health bar over their heads.
  • Added option to turn on fullscreen mode. You can find this in the main menu.
  • Added how to play page that explains controls but does not really have any information about how to play the game. You know how to play tower defense games.

  • Redesigned main menu.
  • Implemented pausing. Press SPACEBAR to pause and unpause.
  • Goblins bleed when hit.
  • Added second map. When the first map's waves are defeated game progresses to second map. Player also wins gold.

1 December 2020 — Gameplay Improvements

  • Targeting system for towers is improved. Now they hit their target unless it changes course (turns).
  • Dragging while middle mouse button is pressed pans the view.
  • Goblins take 4 hits before they die now.
  • Added new sounds.

20 October 2020 — Graphics & Sound Update

basic tower model

  • Enemy model now has a walk animation.
  • Added 3D models for entry and exit portals, basic tower & the bullets.
  • Added sounds one for earning gold and one for when a bullet is fired. I have used sounds from 512 Sound Effects (8-bitstyle) pack.

22 September 2020 — Game Mechanics

  • Added gold & health resources. Each tower costs gold, each enemy killed earns gold. Each enemy reaching the exit portal decreases health by one.
  • Enemies come in waves now.
  • New goblin model, but it just hover over the map in T-pose for now.
  • You can now place towers if you have enough gold and also if the new tower won't block the path to exit portal.
  • Implemented basic camera movement. Use mouse wheel or F & R keys to zoom, W, A, S, D or arrow keys to pan.

8 September 2020 — First release, more of a tech demo than a game

  • Created a couple of models. They look okay but probable I will have to rework them later.
  • Basic enemy pathfinding. Navigation data needs to get updated as new towers are placed, so I was not able to use navmesh feature of Godot. When Godot 4 is released I think it will have navmeshes that can be generated in runtime.
  • You can place towers, but be careful it can crash the game when the new tower prohibits navigation. Later placing towers to these incorrect locations will not be allowed.
