Kingdom Defense / Torque Projects

Kingdom Defense is a fantasy based tower defense game with a twist. While you can build towers like a traditional defense game, in Kingdom Defense you can also recruit soldiers that you can control. From militiamen and swordsman to archers and crossbowmen, your infantry units will help turn the tide of battle when your towers fail.

My Part

I was the only programmer working on Kingdom Defense.

Building Placement

To determine where the player was allowed to build, I wrote a system that would allow us to paint the terrain with a custom brush to signify that the player could build in that area.
This same system was used to paint down the roads that the AI would follow, so we could have roads of any thickness
