What happens when you combine Tower Defense, Defense of the Ancients, Capture the Flag, Nexus wars, Shadowrun and Blade Runner? Relic Rampage! This project is still in early development, I hope to make an early release in October. I am currently looking for a super awesome Data Editor and Galaxy Programmer to help with this project as well as 10-20 testers.
16 unique towers, 8 Towers per corp, each with 2 upgrade paths
12 unique mercenaries, 6 per corp
17 offensive structures per corp, in 3 tiers - 34 total
The Story
The Okami Corporation and SinTec have been acquiring ancient relics for decades. Now, the only relics left belong to these two megacorps. Anticipating the coming showdown, each has hired several mercenaries to defend these last relics. And each megacorp has devoted all their resources to this struggle.
This is the story of that showdown. Choose a megacorp and a mercenary, then crush your opposition. Each megacorp has 10 Relics when the game starts. Your team must possess all 20 to win. To acquire relics, build attacking structures to train troops for your cause. The mercenaries job is to defend your megacorp’s relics from these combatants. Build, fight, survive.
Three play "modes"
The game play will be in three distinct modes, each represented by a "screen button" which will not reside in the normal command card. Pushing any of the buttons will take the players camera to that view and give control over that associated units.
Strategic mode : standard over top camera, allowing the player to interact with (upgrade, sell, research) their towers and units as in standard TD games
Defense mode : will switch the camera to an over the shoulder 3rd person camera of your merc. Gives control of merc specific abilities and build abilities.
Offense mode : will switch the camera to the dedicated build area. You will be given control of a phantom builder unit (the unit will not be visible but is only needed for game building purposes) and the build menus for offense structures will be visible.

What types of attacking troops to build (armor bonuses will be similar to Retribution TD)
Where to defend & build defense structures - the first 4 relics are VERY hard to defend, etc.

Strategic Decisions:
Lovely map, I have to admit!
I like the custom UI, too!
Looks pretty polished! Look forward to seeing it on Bnet.
Thanks, Im considering doing a whole UI reskin, but i think for the first release I'll hold off.
Im still looking for a super data editor gut. Im serviceable in the Data editor, but would like another person so we can get this thing out in october
Just a quick update, updated the pictures with the new dynamic weather effects, interface, hero revive system and more.
Project is currently moving into high gear with unit /ability creation. Should be able to launch test this month.
