[VX] Line of Defense (Demo)

This is a game I decided to start to see what I could achieve with events.  The idea was that I would make it similar to a Tower Defense game, but it would have the turn-based battle system instead of the traditional firing system.  The result was better than I had expected.

Aspects of TD that are included:
-Construction points
-Upgrades
-Waves of monsters

Demo: http://www.mediafire.com/?ezmvm2z0xum

Spoiler: Progress

May 4, 2008
Demo released.  It contains all the basic aspects that the game will have but only contains one wave at the moment.  However, the player can repeat this wave so they can experience the game more fully without the rest of the waves.

Spoiler: Characters

Creator
You take control of The Creator.  Your responsibility is to protect the village from harm while your helper fixes the Portal.

Helper
She will direct you when you first arrive and activate the Portal to fix it.

Portal
The Portal was originally designed to protect the land, but it has recently begun malfunctioning.  Each time your helper activates the Portal, the monsters that would usually have been protecting the land emerge in an attempt to destroy the village.  Your mission as The Creator is to protect the village until the Portal is fixed.

Spoiler: Game Notes

These notes will help you understand the game and how it works.
-At the start, only the Fighter and Mage are available, but after a certain number of upgrades you can add a member to the party.
-Upgrades can be purchased when the primary member reaches an odd level number (3, 5, 7) but don't go above level 7 (yet).
-To get across the road, press the Action Button when standing next to the footsteps.
-If you press the Action Button when standing next to the village, you can see the remaining Health.

If you experience any problems with the game, please let me know.  I'm looking for comments on the game and also suggestions to make it better.  I am aware that the imp changes to the tower's graphic when he passes it, but I haven't been able to fix this yet.  If anyone knows how I can fix this without scripts, please let me know.

wheres the demo?

Seems you forgot the link :wink:

I'm curious, this sounds like a fun game. How does the turn-based battle work, though? Do you get to move your characters around to battle enemies, or are they stationary and have to wait for the enemy to come to them?

These questions will probably be answered when you provide a demo.

Whoops.  I was so worried about how the topic would look that I forgot the most important part - the demo.  It's in the first post now.  The characters are stationary, but you'll see how it works when you play the demo. :thumb:
