Hello GMC,

I am developing a Tower Defense game based on antiviruses and viruses, but I am having trouble naming the towers.

If anyone has any ideas for names I would highly appreciate it. There will be a list of the already thought tower names, virus names and credit list to the people that help me in this task. Also, the more you help, the higher you're placed in the credits.

Thanks in advance

Towers:

• Firewall;
• Virus Scanner Engine;
• Virus Tower Scanner;
• IntelliTrap (and IntelliTrap Extension);
• Email Virus Scanner;
• Virus Vault;
• <none>

Virus:

• Trojan;
• Spyware;
• Adware;
• EICAR;
• Keylogger;
• Tower Infector;
• Registry Editor;
• Batch Virus;
• Popup;
• Disrupter;
• Hacker;
• Malware;
• Jammer;
• Anti Anti Virus;
• <none>

I already saw a game that's exactly the same (at least it sounds like it) than this one.

Here are some ideas you can use:

Name the towers like existing anti-viruses, for example:

Norton.
AVG.
Microsoft Security Essentials.
NOD

and such.

I wasn't looking for antivirus names but more like components (therefore the firewall, some antviruses have one)

Then:

Virus Scanner Engine (You can use this one to reveal hidden viruses)
Virus Tower Scanner (You can use this one to check and kill viruses that infected your tower before it being destroid (the tower))
IntelliTrap (You can use this like a trap that holds viruses for certain amoun of time for example: 5 seconds)
IntelliTrap Extension (Adds more seconds to the intellitraps, but this would be line one you build over the IntelliTrap)
Email Virus Scanner (Like when you finish the map you receive an email that haves a chance to bring a virus that will appear in the next world, like a stronger virus)

Thats all i can think of atm

Those are great ideas I'll update the first post right now

Virus:
EICAR (This is only a test virus so you can make it the weakest virus in the game)
Keylogger (This can be an invisible virus that once it reaches the base or hardware were you lose lives or health in your game it starts stealing money or the currency you use to buy towers in the game)
Tower Infector (This can be a tower that infects the tower and past a certain time if it doesn't get killed it destroys the tower and multiplies like once it destroys 1 tower its 2 then 4 and such)

I will add more once i remember more xD

Viruses:

Registry Editor (Teporarily disables your towers when it reaches the end. Maybe like 5 seconds)

Batch Virus (Simple virus that lovers health when it reaches the end.)

Popup (Popsup towards the middle of the level and creates viruses. Also blocks tower shots from hitting viruses. Destroyed like any other viruses.)

Disrupter (Disrupts the ability to buy towers until destroyed.)

Hacker (A worm opens up and teleports viruses closer to the end.)

Malware(Raises tower prices until destroyed.)

Spyware (When it reaches the end, other spyware viruses move faster.)

Jammer (When first hit, it stops and protects viruses around it.)

Anti Anti Virus ( Attacks Anti Virus Towers.)


Anti Virus:

Firewall (Placed in the middle of the road and prevents worms and viruses. Destroyed when wall heath is 0.)

Virus Vault (Traps a virus and destroys after a while. After the virus is destroyed, it can trap anther virus.

Towers

Quarantine Tower: Allows the player to trap a number x of viruses inside the tower. Which can either be set free at the discretion of the player (a way to temp lower the number of viruses you face might give you enough time to build more offensive towers) or perhaps traps one (or 1+ if it can upgrade) and kills it over time or instantly when full. (like the Virus vault)

Anti-Virus Eradicator: Attempts to kill incoming viruses. normal attack speed damage

Advanced Virus Guardian: (AVG) Kills incoming viruses attacking at a slower rate but higher damage

Anti Viral IRradiation Artillery (AVIRA): kills incoming viruses at a mid rate but with splash damage.

Highlander Anti-Virus: Will produce the Highlander Anti-Virus Virus and will kill all viruses and not stop till its the only one o.O (or dies )

Viruses
Rootkit: Disables a tower for an entire wave unless cleaned out of the tower.
