    In the Holiday spirit I've decided to give back to the Buildbox community and release this tower defense styled template for people who are interested :D. Included is a sample level with key notes and instructions for users. I plan on updating this template often with new features and will soon release the isometric styled version.

    Version 1.0.2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x2puofv2ic3bsb5/Tower Defense.bbdoc?dl=0

    Enjoy and leave any feedback or suggestions! ;)

    Key points not mentioned in the file :

    -Drag the mouse to move the player
    -Keep the collision shapes the same unless you know exactly what you are doing!
    -Speed of bullets and enemies can be customized
    -Projectiles are able to be bought with in game currency if you desire.
    -Scenes were left blank for you to experiment!


    [​IMG]
    -Set the opacity to "0" for these objects to not view them during gameplay.

    Updates soon to come:

    -Removing Turrets/Projectiles
    -More powerups (Slow time,Claymores, etc)
    -More Projectiles (Faster Shooting, Stronger bullets)
    -More enemies with different properties
    -More level trails

    *NOTE*

    Most methods I used in this template will become obsolete with the release of BB2

    Hello @marlonlawson, they should be in black when you open the physical bbdoc file. You don't see any at all?

    Hello @wesam_badr , You drag your mouse to move the player which is the cursor, and press the shop button to place a turret/projectile to shoot the enemies

    We do a monthly-ish update now. 2.2.8 was the November update. November and December are challenging due to the holidays... but we will have a 2.2.9 release we are starting to finalize now. Can't make any guarantee on release date.
