Hi guys, please do understand that the difficulty of this game may be abit high. My beta-testers required many retries to proceed to the final stage. It is very important for players to familiarize themselves with the various behavior of each creeps, the special mechanics/shortcuts in each world as well as individual's dexterity (You need to move your towers around). I hope this game will provide everyone an enjoyable arcade style tower defense experience. : )
Tower Defense looks like its about to be changed in a great new direction. I appreciate your innovative efforts developers!
As a junior indie developer, I really appreciate any support from the community and I would like to show my appreciation for your support!!! I'm giving away Steven's Musical Album/ Monochromania Soundtrack to everyone who purchase the game and review it in iTunes Appstore!. Ofcourse, winners of Event 1 can also get this album for FREE! More details of this giveaway will be revealed by next week. Preview of the soundtrack: http://stevenmusical.bandcamp.com
I love Gem Keeper, its a fantastic TD but Monochromania offers gameplay which is completely different from Gem Keeper and any other tower defense. XD Artwork for creeps in "Music Concert" map: This is what happens when two Sixteenth Notes meet Minim! Treble Cleft Knight!
Monochromania seems set to stir up a helluva of musical I really like the whole "hand-drawn" graphical direction. That itself, has already set the game apart from the other TD games. I am looking forward to what this game, with all its lovely potential! Suggestions on the 6th World: (1) Causeway between Singapore and Malaysia - don't think many will get this but as your "neighbor" so near to you, it would be nice to see my Merlion and your Petronas in the background, don't you think (2) Opera House - Basically, a performance hall with the stage lights and all. The boss shall be none other than a terribly off-key Opera Singer (that smiles at you when he or she sends her notes to attack you) (3) Parliament House - Basically, players will be caught between two "columns/rows" of enemies. The different members in the Parliament, as they speak against one another, will be "firing notes" at you. (4) Backalley - I have an impression that Rappers usually hang out in the backalleys. Perhaps, you can have a backalley background and have punkish-looking/bboys going about Ideas to think about: (1) Events - Do you think you can launch a "Submit your Creeps!" event? The design must be music-related and follow the game's graphical direction. I think you can definitely get a community going around here with this contest and the contest will sure get its word around (the prize and be credit (a) iTunes or (b) the creep is named after the submitter) (b) Please tell me this game has some form of local co-op and GameCenter co-op Should you need more beta testers for the game or its future updates, I'll be glad to help (and well done on this solo-project, you're an inspiration to many in your shoes )
Wow Artwork are simply AWSOME! The game play look so good and creative! I like monster's screenshot you've post too! They are really nice and cute!
@Wiiflare Thank you very much for your time and effort. These suggestions are great and I really like the Causeway link idea! Love Merlion and I'm thinking of adding a classical rearrangement of Rasa Sayang as BGM! (By the way, may I know how you found out that I'm residing in the city of Petronas? Lol) As for the "Submit Your Creeps Contest", a similar design/creativity event will be hold in the near future. Stay tuned for Event 3 details. : ) Unfortunately, I'm very sorry to said that there will be no Gamecenter support in V1.0... I need $600 to upgrade my Gamesalad Basic Account to Pro Account in order to implement these features. But don't worry, as soon as I got back some money I'll make neccesary changes to this game. @askacy Glad you like my creeps design. : )
@stevenc89 hey, are you 22 too? haha if so, high5! i just added you on twitter a while ago and that's where I saw "Malaysia!" great to see a Malaysian/Singaporean around here Rasa Sayang will be awesome Maybe "Di Tanjong Katong" too? or "Chan Mali Chan" haha maybe the Heritage Board will sponsor some funds hehe hehe awesome! will love to see what creative stuff fellow TA-ers come out up. i'm not too good at art but I will try I guess haha On a more serious note, if you really need funding and is considering making this game, try looking at http://www.kickstarter.com/ And based on the limited stuff I can see, you can consider adding Joypad support too! http://www.getjoypad.com/ Basically it allows the game to be played on the iPad using the iPhone/iPod Touch as a remote
More ideas on stages 1) Zoos/Carnivals The sheer amount of activities in these places will really make some very cool sound effects You can have different "enemies" that represent the monsters as well. 2) Farm My personal favorite. Perhaps you can remix "Old MacDonalds had a farm, e-ya e-ya o!"
Yup, I'm 22. : ) I just went to kickstarter.com, upon registration only I realized that I'm not a US citizen and do not own a US banking account/credit card lol. Joypad is a wonderful tool for game sharing but too bad Monochromania is a buttonless game and basically you have to touch/drag your towers all over the map with your finger. By the way, does League Evil support Joypad? Just got this game yesterday, its a great platformer.
yes! League of Evil supports Joypad! do try it out ahh.. sucks that kickstarter is US-only :/ another way is to get a publisher.. maybe Crescent Moon might be interested ^^
I somehow imagine the creeps coming from an alien ship and you're on a field Psst. That's 6th world suggestion.
Redesigned my band camp page and you guys may preview the soundtrack of Monochromania here: http://stevenmusical.bandcamp.com/ Off to bed and hopefully I will get a green light for Monochromania's approval status when I wake up tomorrow. : )
