Bid1: Tower Defense Game
Preface:
We wish to build a 2D top down "Tower Defense" game. A simple strategy game. The game will allow for single player play, or competitive multiplayer over a network. It will be developed in C#/C++ (decision pending) for Windows machines. The game essentially consists of enemies invading a play area in which the player is responsible to defend through the means of various units that the player can upgrade over time. In the two player competitive mode, the player may have control over some offensive aspects as well. The players goal is to let as few enemies get past as possible.
