Game yang di kepalai oleh George Fan ini mampu menjadi salah satu casual game of the year versi PC pada tahun 2009 bersaing dengan banyak game lainnya. Maka dari itu penulis termotivasi untuk membangun suatu aplikasi casual game di platform PC yang terinspirasi oleh aturan tower defense yang telah diubah konsep dasarnya serta variasi baru dari game yang telah ada tersebut. Aplikasi ini dibuat untuk memberikan suatu variasi baru dalam game sejenis tower defense. Penulis mengharapkan aplikasi yang dibuat dapat ikut meramaikan dunia industri game yang telah ada dan dapat menghibur para pemain casual game. 2. Metholodogy Metodologi yang digunakan dalam melakukan penelitian dan membangun aplikasi casual game ini adalah teknik waterfall dengan tahap-tahapan sebagai berikut: a. Requirement Pengumpulan data didapatkan dari: Metode Survei dengan Kuisioner Penulis menyebarkan kuisioner kepada orang-orang lingkungan sekitar penulis dengan selebaran serta secara online di berbagai media komunitas seperti forum-forum dan media jaringan

4 sosial yang ada, dengan tujuan mendapat hasil survei berupa informasi yang berhubungan dengan pembuatan skripsi penulis. Metode Studi Literatur Penulis melakukan studi terhadap sumber sumber literatur yang ada pada berbagai media seperti internet, buku buku literatur tentang pengembangan aplikasi game sejenis, dan skripsi pendahulu yang sejenis. b. Analysis Penulis melakukan analisis terhadap hasil pengumpulan data yang telah didapatkan. c. Design Penulis membuat rancangan aplikasi berdasarkan hasil analisis yang didapatkan sehingga mudah untuk dimengerti dan mempermudah pengerjaan proses selanjutnya. d. Coding Pada tahap ini penulis melakukan pembangunan aplikasi dengan menuliskan program sehingga menghasilkan suatu aplikasi yang sesuai dengan hasil rancangan design yang memenuhi kriteria kebutuhan user. e. Testing Tahap melakukan testing pada program yang telah dibuat untuk mengetahui program tersebut terdapat kesalahan atau tidak.

5 f. Maintenance Tahap pemeliharan yang dilakukan secara berkala, dimana tahap ini dilakukan setelah program telah selesai dibuat dan program disesuaikan dengan kondisi lingkungan tempat program tersebut diaplikasikan serta dilakukan pembaharuan terhadap aplikasi tersebut.
