Tower Defense : Defense Grid

[ghanima]

Hey guys!

My company released our new game, Defense Grid: The Awakening, today via Steam. You can download it from Steam by going to http://store.steampowered.com/app/18500/

I don't know if anyone else is into the Tower Defense genre, but this one is really fun. /shameless plug

You can get the demo here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/18510/

Anyhow, I have a free download code to give away. I'm looking for a creative way to give it away to anyone on BG, suggestions welcome!

Every SC/WCIII's TD fans orgasm just came alive?

Looks cool. How much does it cost? I could use a distracting game for finals now that I finished Fallout3. Of course a free download code would be cool too

edit: checked out the link, $20.

I'd buy it if it was multiplayer, but with that lacking =/

Yeah I am really bummed about multiplayer, we have multiplayer supported for the Xbox 360 version which is in development right now, but it didn't make it into the PC release for time reasons. We're hoping to patch multiplayer into the PC version depending on how well it does. I was pretty sad when I was told it wasn't going to make it into the PC release this week.

I know multiplayer is a huge selling point for most people, but honestly the game is still fun as a singleplayer game. I'm still playing it and I've played it every day for the last 8 months now lol, kind of a record I generally end up never wanting to play a game I've worked on once we've finished.

I started out with 5 free download codes, but I gave most of them away to LS members. Maybe I can get more and spread the love hehe.

Lack of a demo is really offputting, as much as I love TD's I can just play WC3 and have numerous great ones all with multiplayer. I see no reason to spend the $20 on something I'm unsure of.

I want to play it because I love TD games but I dont know if 20bux is worth it without a demo

[Maguspk]

Have a competition to see who can earn the most points in a random TD game and have the winner obtain the free code.

[Vandole]

or just give the code to me.

A lot of people on the Steam forums are like that, but many of them took the plunge and bought the game anyway only to say they liked it and was worth the leap of faith. I do agree that no demo is extremely off putting for a lot of people, I did bring it up but since we are busy working on the 360 version now it isn't a priority for the team.

Since MS requires that all XBLA games have a trial mode (their fancy term for demo), the 360 will have a demo but that's several months out. 360 version is going to have some more features as well.

Hmmm anyway, free download to whoever PMs me a screenshot of the highest score on Onslaught, Bad Pipe level, medium difficulty.

edit: apparently we are also giving away 10 copies via random drawing if you post in this thread on the Steam forums. I was out yesterday so this is new to me. :3

I'm playing your game right now, and I have to say its actually quite a bit of fun so far. I'm playing story mode and I'm not very far in yet, but its definitely keeping me entertained so far. Especially the graphics... maybe I'm just not used to seeing a game made for tower defense instead of bastardized into it (excluding flash games of course), but some of the level environments are actually quite cool to look at. Pretty cool!

Just a heads up, price drop @ 14.99 on steam.

[Mayareira]

[IGN link removed]

8.0 from IGN, which is quite good I suppose.

Ive been speaking with the OP, we are going to run a contest for two game giveaways on this baby. Its running straight off of word of mouth, no ads or anything, so we will be able to see how good its going to be soon after I purchase my copy.

BTW this is goon made, for all you SA forum vets

Its good. I did his other little contest for a CD key from the flash tower game, and played the game shortly after. I really wish it had multiplayer but single player was really fun to play through, especially as it got farther in. And I love raspberries, so the game is that much better.

[Askari0]

Kick ass. Gonna have to sign up for this one. WC3 Tower Defense games are getting a little old imo >.>

[thestalkmore]

Do want, but 15 bucks argh.

[Sonomaa]

does anybody have some good ideas for contests, Im possibly thinking a bitchin MS paint your own tower defense contest

[tyven]

MS paint related contests are always win

I'm not a dude but! Glad you enjoyed the game. For the record, I really wish we had multiplayer as well. Keep your fingers crossed on it being implemented!

In any event, there's a lot going on here right now with the upcoming Xbox360 version as well as expanding the PC version. Unfortunately nothing I can talk about officially, but as soon as I can I'll spill the beans on it. :D

Here we really do read every forum we can find to see how the game is thought of, issues/problems encountered, and (shock!) all suggestions are actually taken into account.
