Description
This tutorial will teach you how to create a 2D tower defense games in Unity. When you have completed the tutorial, you will have a finished game with a "Beginning and an End". Below are some of the things, that we will be implementing in the game.
Towers
We will be implementing 4 kinds of towers in our game.
Fire tower: This tower shoots fire projectiles, these projectiles has a chance to apply a fire debuff. The fire debuff is a damage over time effect. When applied to a monster it deals damage every x amount of seconds, as long as the debuff is applied to a target.
Frost tower: This tower fires frost projectiles. These projectiles has a chance to apply a frost debuff, that slows down the targets movement speed
.
Poison tower: This tower fires poison projectiles. These projectiles has a chance to apply a poison debuff, this debuff drops poison on the ground behind the target. If another mob steps in the poison it will take damage.
Storm tower: This tower fires thunderbolt projectiles, these projectiles has a chance to apply a storm debuff to the target. This debuff will stun the target for an amount of seconds.
Monsters
We will also be adding 4 kinds of monsters to the game
Red: This monster takes less damage from fire towers, and is immune to fire debuffs.
Blue: This monster takes less damage from frost towers, and is immune to frost debuffs.
Purple: This monster takes less damage from storm towers, and is immune to storm debuffs.
Green: This monster takes less damage from poison towers, and is immune to poison debuffs.
