Ok so, I have this tower defence game right. The problem is that it is not unique enough so it will feel extremely generic. Could somebody help me come up with some fun and interesting mechanics that would make my game stand out and maybe attract more people to play it?
Edit: Before you say “add more upgrade paths!” Then I will say that I already have that. I have a system that makes it so that I only have to make a model… for… each… single… upgrade and upgrade combination…
Add like special stuff for gamemodes or even maps.
Maybe there’s a narrator in your game that gives you tips, maybe they could give your towers something like a firerate boost when it’s the final wave? Or maybe some enemies can kill, slow down, even misplace towers somewhere else. You can try making the path move, or make portals on the path so the enemies basically skip your defenses. Add unique enemy modifiers/abilities like flying, buffing other enemies, ect..
You can also take inspiration from tower battles’ plasma gunner tower, where he will accelerate in damage and deal more and more until he reaches a limit, but has to charge up for every kill. Also, maybe make it so you can have “evolved” or “general” towers so you can upgrade one tower for example to level 6 but the max is usually 5. These can have special abilities like being able to hit multiple enemies, shooting in bursts or applying debuffs to enemies.
I hope I gave you some good ideas lol… good luck 
Well, I already have Iron and hidden enemies and I have kind of a dialogue system where it tells you stuff, but I don’t think I am done with the wave spawns yet so I’ll wait with writing all the dialogues. Maybe I could make an enemy that spawn a temporary spawn that could alter the position of where they spawn and the towers have to destroy it to change it back. The other ideas do sound pretty good, but I don’t know why but something feels like I shouldn’t make them or that they are too hard too make.
turn it into a multiplayer game, player verses player who can last longer, or have that as like a game mode or something. Possibly have like multiple parts to the map, so the map starts small, small path to the base. Then you do a wave, it gets bigger, more paths for the enemies to go down, more spawns and stuff. and it keeps getting bigger and bigger, more spawns more paths multiple paths too. This makes it more interesting as you have to change your strategy as you progress. And it gets harder. And the game modes makes it more interesting, you could have different types of game modes and stuff. Not sure what but yeah.
Hmmmmm, a map that gets harder as you progress feels pretty interesting… and it is already a multiplayer game but I can PVP!
This is probably a stretch but there is this one concept that ive seen someone do for a td game and that is, your towers make up the walkable path for the ai (basically you can build the path that the enemies take by placing down towers strategically) . definitely not feasible in the current game but may be a new game.
Yeah, that would be pretty cool, but as you said it probably doesn’t really fit in my game. I will take your inspiration for another game, thanks!
You can make whatever you want lol, it’s your game. I just gave you some suggestions that sound cool, not sure if they’re hard or not
