@discontent Sort-of, but a very different one. For starters, you can play as the attacker as well as the defender, so there are two sides to it, but also the units are designed by you, both in capability terms, and visually, with sliders for colors, different layers etc.
Lastly, the game will have a built in map editor, and online-challenges like GSB, so you can submit your own maps, with your own custom designed tanks or turrets to fight against other players, GSB-style.
@chantaclear Probably jan-feb 2012 at this rate, although there may be a beta before then. The battles all work, it's the online stuff, the map editor and the tutorial etc that need doing between now and then. Plus I need to do the level design and balancing. *lots to do!*
@cliffski2 Yeah, balancing can be pretty hard, to me it's one of the most annoying things to do XD And coding online from scratch can be absolute hell... But, I wish you good luck! PS: You are possibly the most epic indie developer ever to exist and I trust this game shall not disappoint us :D
WOW! :D This looks so much cooler than I pictured in my head. Looking forward to seeing the final product.

@cliffski2 Sounds good. You might want to focus on those unique features in future trailers, the tower defense market is pretty saturated
