I've been saying I was going to make a thread for this project forever now, so here it is! Tower Wars is an Indie game that myself and 8 others have been working on for the past couple years off and on. Its a game we all believe in and think will be really fun. We finally decided to get really serious about it and finish this thing. I'm taking a little over a year off to work on this full time. The rest of the team has full time jobs and works hard on it in their spare time.

So enough of that and on to the arts. This is a quick look at some of the work the team has been doing. After this post, our artists will post in this thread the pieces they are working on.







For an overview of the game towers and units, check out our website. I dont want to bombard you with walls of text here.

I want this thread to just be a journal of our progress in making an indie game. Posting work in progresses, and getting feedback from all of you. All comments, questions and critiques are all really appreciated. We want this community to really help shape this whole thing.

Thanks all!

Bonus in game shot!

This is so purdy! I'm a sucker for a good tower defense game and I've loved the style ever since I saw some of the towers a while back. Looks like everything is coming together nicely. Can't wait to see more updates.

Interest peaked! Beautiful style. Wish I could paint by hand like that!

fack yuh Nate, this is looking fantastic!

Splendid ! it would be super awesome if you manage to make a tilt shifting post process

<<Also a total Tower defense nut. This looks fantastic! Hope you guys draw some inspiration from plants vs. zombies. Lots of expandable tower types that work together in really cool ways with lots of personality. Oh, and make income something the user has to tangibly be involved with throughout the round to make the most of it.

Anyway, looks really cool, some of the best production values I've seen in the tower defense genera!

The art direction in this is just awesome! Great work!

I love this! Very rad art style and I've enjoyed seeing the towers posted in the 'what are you working on' thread.

Very Nice!

I love the style !

great art direction!

yar this is damn nice !

Tower Defense games are like crack cocaine to me. A PvP Tower Defense game? That's just insanity, can't wait.

Fucking awesome! good luck man, looks like it could be a lot of fun.

love the hexes hanging off the world.

great looking game

W00t !!

I read this on the website : "Send multitudes of specialized units in massive attack waves."

Will this be like a shango TD ? If it's the case, you can't make me happier Having to choose between use the money to upgrade the maze or use it to send units to ennemy to have more money each X seconds etc.

Awesome art style, can't wait to try this out.

This looks great, and hexagon grids turn me on. Looking forward to seeing more!

Gorgeous art direction! Can't wait to see some gameplay of this!
Great job!

I like the style, can´t wait to see some gameplay....

Awesome!

Beautiful art style! The shots look promising, wish you guys best luck with it.

Only thought is that the grass could be some more toon looking, its a bit like thin green hair atm. But thats probably just nitpicking.

Love the style, love tower defense, where do I put my money?

Ooh I can't wait to play this, sorry If I am being blind but what platform will this be on?

i has money. you has game. let's trade?

Looks beautiful and fun!

Back in the day I used to play so many TDs on Warcraft 3, and it is really nice to see a stand alone PvP TD, especially one so pretty!

For your FAQs: "When the heck can I play this?" and "How will this game work exactly? Do I spawn units and they go to the enemy's maze and vice versa?"

On the site in 'overview' it says "Steam", so I guess that means PC!


(By the way, pet peeve, the link says 'overview' but the URL says 'about'... )
