Since the launch of the game on 14th November 2022, I've published a few small updates to address a few issues, these include:

• Fixed an issue where pickups might fail to spawn.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where enemy tanks would fail to spawn when completing the final arena then playing another arena.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where the ghost tank was not in the correct translucent material.
  
  
• Fixed an issue with the default keyboard bindings - Move Backwards was incorrectly mapped to the R key, possibly causing some confusion. Now correctly mapped to the S key.
  
  
• Added the leaderboard scores for the current arena to the in-game menu.
  
  
• Changed the player rotation on the final arena to always face the portals to make it less confusing.

I will continue to publish updates to fix any other issues reported, and also if I make any new content for the game.

Thank You for playing 🙂

Tank Warz! will finally be releasing on Monday 14th November so stay tuned for the official release announcement!

Thank you for sticking with us!

It's been a while since the last update, but I wanted to show some of the things that have I have been working on in the game, during these crazy times.

First, here's a look at the current maps that are in the latest development build, including the later snowy map that's not featured in the demo which features an extra, an more deadly, enemy - the laser tank! Along with the laser tank, there's some extra danger from laser turrets on the outskirts of the map - these can finish you off if you fail to avoid them once they're active.



In addition to the laser tank, there's a new bot in town - the mine dropper bot. This little fellow spawns every now and then through the portals, and drops a few mines before disintegrating. I call it The Doomba.



Also added just this week is a new power-up weapon, an energy pulse field, that can insta-kill the enemies simply by getting close to them. This one will be popular.



Along with all the above, there's an end of level boss fight for the desert map - which I won't fully show here, it's a surprise!



There's been a few minor changes and tweaks along the way too, including some updated visuals. Basically that means particle systems. I love particle systems.

Portals have a few particles...


The energy power-up crystals have been replaced with a nice column of particles...


Particles for everyone!

And for some extra fun stuff, there be secrets in this 'ere game... Secrets, Easter Eggs, and old-school cheat codes. Your mission is to find them!

Steam global leaderboards are also now implemented, so you can battle for the worlds highest scores!

I think that's it for now, but I'll post another update when there's more to show. Hope this look at the latest development build piques your interest a little, as I'm working towards a full release next year. Keep your eyes peeled.

Hey folks

I've updated the demo with the latest development changes, this includes the fully working lava pit traps!

Be careful of those once they're open - it's insta-death if you fall into them!

I'm working on more mechanics, secrets, and the boss tanks! Keep checking back for updates!

I'll be updating the current demo version with the latest features and gameplay from my development build very soon, so watch this space!

Hi all

We're pleased to announce that we've now updated the demo version with all the new things from our development build.

We have done a graphical overhaul to improve the overall look of the game, and changed some things around.

Changes include:

• Added an Options section so you can change some graphics and audio settings (more things to be added!)
  
• Added a slight fire delay (but not too much)
  
• Tweaked the player movement code to make smoother
  
• Changed the spawn portal design to brand new models
  
• Main menu redesign with new logo

We're now working on the capability to destroy the spawn portals, new enemies, new maps and more...

Thank you for trying Tank Warz! :)

After some feedback for the demo, we've made some changes to a few things which we're including in the full release, but we felt that the demo would benefit from the same changes.

The main thing that we've changed is the view of the player tank. It was the general opinion that it was difficult to see where exactly you were pointing.

Whilst we plan on adding a full direction indicator to the full game, we have re-positioned the camera that looks over the player, showing more of the turret and also the base, this shows you where you're heading in the arena.

Other changes include:

• Enemy tanks no longer "look" at you continuously
  
• Enemy tanks now spin when hit, and move away with force
  
• Player can no longer drive up the surrounding mountains
  
• Decreased time between enemy spawns, to speed up the pace a little
  
• Trees now slightly larger

Whilst we continue work on the full game, we will add a few new things to the demo along the to (hopefully) improve it.
