Homebrew: Tower Defense mod from Warcraft 3 to the DS

by David Hinkle on Jan 12th 2007 11:35AM

Sometime during this weekend, homebrewster Noda is going to release a new game based on the Tower Defense mod from Warcraft 3. By looking over the available screens for the game and going down the laundry list of promised features, we find ourselves excited at the possibility of some fresh RTS gameplay on our DS (we're RTS fiends).

Of course, there are some graphical limits that prevent more than a set number of towers and units from being on screen at once. The translation is a little vague; we do not know if it's 40 towers and 40 units on screen at once, or if it is 40 total. Towers themselves The ten available powers for each tower include:

slow fox trot
poison
critic ramming
pierce
fire magic
toilets magic (?!)
lightning magic
wind magic
splash ramming
reveal invisible monsters

So, anyone plan on downloading this over the weekend?

In a word....yup!

I also need to get downloading some public domain books from The Moonbook Project so I can read them on Moonshell!

Looks interesting. I might try it out if I remember over the weekend.

For the non-lame, what is Tower of Defense?

There are already some stand alone Tower defense mods out there for the PC/Mac you just have to search for them. Tower defense is simple. you build towers, upgrade them strategically all the while there are enemies, usually on a set path, that come in waves and its your job to not let a set number through.
