As of now you can register an account with the Casual Collective. Registering an account will do three things. Firstly you will be reserving the username, preventing others from using the same name. Secondly when the site is live we will send you an email (which will remind you of your username and give you a link to the finished site) so you are one of the first to play! And thirdly, those that register early will get some form of reward when the site is fully functional. Right now the site is not finished, so registering is all you can do, but we hope to resolve that soon ;o)
// Update 20th July
We had 1,376 registrations today. Also noteworthy is that this post is the 16th most popular today across the whole of WordPress. And as if that wasn’t enough, this was the best day in terms of hits for our blog with 4,877 views.
Love Elemental TD!!! Play it so much and even introduced it to my friends at work, have about 10 people playing it right now !!! thanks for the game =]
Sweet, registering is all I WANT to do.
Ok not really. Do you have any sort of time frame you want to share?
Thanks,
Stephan
You might want to fix the registration form, it asks for my date of birth but the label says ‘Your age’.
Looking forward to the launch.
Nice works guys!
When you go to register an account, it asks for your name and age.
However the bars where you put in your age appears to ACTUALLY want your birthdate, because it asks you for the year and month. Please either say “Enter birthdate” or get rid of the month and year or that will drive me crazy.
@Stephan
The site will be open in beta form from the beginning of next month
I have left it as “age” and removed the day/month/year and replaced it with a box to type in your age.
And Daniel, drive you crazy? You only have to do it once :)
Why do you want our real names?
I think your emailer silently fails on email addresses with +’s in them – and they’re totally valid. Gmail lets you do youremailaddress+anythingyouwant@gmail.com which I use compulsively for signing up for services. My first attempt to sign up with a + in my email didn’t work (I never got the email) but my second, without the plus, worked fine.
Oh man, I really can’t wait for this to come out! I’ve enjoyed Desktop TD, and now this?! I believe I have been living under a rock for the past few weeks.

I have really enjoyed playing VectorTD and DesktopTD. Great work!
I had the same issue mentioned earlier, about the mailer not liking email addresses with a ‘+’ sign in them. The RFC for emails does agree with google’s usage, and the + sign is indeed valid. If you could fix this, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

RE: + symbol in email address
I first thought the + was making the format checking (regex) fail, but it was cool with the “+” character, so I sent a test to “dav+id” and it arrived however it was to “dav id” the + character was gone and replaced with a space. This would have prevented Google from filing the email into the correct account. I have corrected the problem and you can now register with email addresses containing a “+”
Thanks to those who reported this problem.
UPDATE
Age, Real name and Gender are now optional fields. You will also be able to edit them at any point.
yo, love your work. simple and playable, which is missing from so many games these days. i’m in for multi.
Kick ass! Reserved my name and read that not only will i keep that name now, but there’ll be some sort of reward?! :O:O:O:O:O:O I really hope it’s a gold star :P
Anyway keep up the good work chaps and i hope to see this casual collective thing take off very soon :D
~Dingolicious~
hi i would register but by the time the site is ready i would of forgotten about it
ps:when you play flash element save your cash
@ben
We will be sending you an email when the site goes live. This email will include your username. Also on the site there will be a way to find lost user names (by entering the email address you used to register)
Dear Paul and Dave,
the tower defense game is awesome
if it was an arcade game in the 70s, I would have spent many many quarters on it
Cool we can change our real name whenever we want, lol…
I got David =)
Looking forward to testing MPDTD =)
-david
Wow… this is interesting. I guess I am mad lazy but what is this Casual Collective? A game?
Can’t wait for a MP version of DTD, my wife and I haven’t stopped playing it since seeing a blog on it a month ago. Even my 6 yo likes it.
GREAT WORK and look forward to the next incarnation of it
i cnt w8 till i play MPDTD all mah friends in my computer class plays TD XD so i’ll noe they gonna luv wat i show em next
// Edit by dave:
TRANSLATION: I can not wait till I can play MPDTD, all my friends in my computer class play TDs, so I know they are going to love what I show them next.
I must say the multiplayer idea intrigues me, will you at any point be atempting a co op style of game? i just feel this would be a natural progression for TD’s after taking it to the point which you are now (versus). i’d also like to know which of the TD’s you feel you’ll be taking the most inspiration from, desktop where you build your on maze, or flash element where the map style is chosen for you. I appreciate that at this point you probably won’t be able to answer these questions and if so i’ll keep an eye on this blog and hope i see the details emerge at a later point :)
Ramuthra i believe the inspiration for desktop TD came from a warcraft 3 map called Autumn Tower Defense. It had 4 players, 2 spawns each, each spawn crossing into 1 other player’s area then exiting. 1 leak meant death. The layout of each player’s area in autumn td is the same as the layout of the DTD playing area.
I might be wrong though, so don’t quote me on it!
Flash Element TD is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I made it to the part when the monster name is gg than died.
nice game, thx
Jogo viciante e simples. Mto bom.
Alguem aí do Brasil?
A very nice game. Maybe in X-Box, PS3. I don´t know how. haha
Suggestions:
- Big Grid (more spaces or lowest spaces)
- A creature coming on all sides (Challenge)
- Destroyer (Can destroy some towers without upgrades)
- Half towers (it can be installed in half spaces)
- “Fast Upgrader” (a tower just like “medicine” to fastest upgrade on near towers)
- Timer Tower (simple tower when installed starts a sells timer)
Please make my DT Dream come true… hehe
(sorry for my wrong english)
Thks
It looks cool! Please, reserve my name!
Very nice game! thx
Please reserve my name. Thank you.
heya dave whens mpdtd come out? i need to know because im addicted to your games
also whats your email? i want to know a few things k?
@Top_Dogg
You need to go to the Casual Collective site and register. We can’t do that for you!
Looking fwd to multiplayer,DTD is already a top time killer for me!!!
Hey this game of TD 1.5 is awesome! One thing I dont like is the upgrade tower has very limited space around it. The money icon is yellow (which I dont get?) Can you make the money Icon green, it would help people distinguish money easier.
Thanks for a great game!
looks like their site crashed.
My bad, it’s up now.
good,thanks very much
Waiting
Hey guys, great game, my only real beef is that even on 10K mode, the 100 levels can’t be beat.
PS. Juggling is impure
i like mpdtd because its extremely addictive game but attracts alot of people
this game is wicked however you need to sort the hackers out spoiling the true scores otherwise top notch
WOOT! awsome TD game i cant w8 to play the finished multiplayer one.

I was trying to register last night, but the form wouldnt take any of my email adresses (@yahoo, @hotmail, @googlemail).
Kept saying ‘Opps! there is a problem wit your email, please use another’
I ran out of active mail accounts!!
It was getting late so i figured id try and register today, and now the form is gone ;_;
halp!
Daaaamn beta is closed and now its invite-only!
C’mon! :(
Sadness. Evidently Casual Collective is no longer accepting registrations? It’s by invite only? Oh dear, and I so badly wanted to reserve my TD username!
nice TD game i love it and wanted to introduce it :) but cant register anymore
Hey they said it is invite only =[
so i was wondering if i could get an invite from an existing member if that would not be to hard to ask
my email is viciousliberator@yahoo.com
Since u as webmaster got my mail now, could it be possible to invite me ;)
