Maybe have different classes of geometry (such as in Zombie Master where you have different zombies).

1. A general purpose, weak, cheap, good in large numbers type class could include an assortment of oblong shapes. Basically the equivalent of a shambler.
2. A very large, slow, but devastating mid-range priced opponent somewhat reminiscent of a hulk in ZM could be a large rectangular prism.
3. A sphere could be represented as a fast and hard-hitting yet vulnerable roller-mine type guy. Expensive. The spherical version might also be an evolved form of a less expensive yet less effective egg-shaped dude.

A pyramid could simply be used as some defensive obstacle or something of the like that are mobile and inexpensive.


Another gameplay option could be to have two teams in which each player takes on a general-type role over a large expanse fighting for control of certain stuff. But I think that would be waaaaaaaay more complex than your two ideas which already suit perfectly.

I'm going to start constructing a roadmap for this project.

wait, what? we're making a zm rip, but with... shapes? im just like, If i were driving a car i would run in to an invisible wall

Er, not quite, guy.

He only stated one similarity between ZM and this.

As for my post, I was just providing some comparison for the classes. I don't think there are defensive triangles and rolling hurty balls in ZM.


Plus this thread (and subsequently the ideas within) is only a few hours old. Give it time bro.

Objective 1. Come up with a codename for the project. This doesn't have to be the final name just something that sort of matches what the project is about.

Namely Geometry Invasion, first person shooter, maybe rts depending on the direction we go.
