Nearly a year ago today Halloween Forever crawled it's way out of Early Access and onto Steam. I'm happy to share a new update today that I hope addresses some issues that have come up over the past few months and makes the overall quality of the game experience better. Some notes about what's new:



- Added some substantially overhauled gamepad and keyboard manager (thank you Jakylgamer). No more gamepad shutting off keyboard inputs, game crashes on gamepad unplugging, and overall broader gamepad support. I've been able to test using an xbox 360, gravis gamepad pro, and ibuffalo snes/sfc format usb controller and they each work. Please take a look at the Control Config menu too so you can map the attack and jump buttons to your preference. Because of how Gamemaker interprets different manufacturer gamepads, the ABXY (or similar) buttons may appear ordered differently. These are mappable though.

- Added a 99 Lives toggle in the Config menu. Achievements are disabled while this is enabled. 99 Lives must be set per run and doesn't save on game restarts. I wanted it to be a manual opt in per run so people don't accidentally miss an achievement, but if it seems important to save this setting I can change it.

- Keyboard and gamepad can navigate menus! You might have noticed the severed Pumpkin Man hand hovering in menus. Mouse clicks still work if you don't wish to use the button controls.

- Config has a Fullscreen toggle! This doesn't require restarting the game.

No new content this time around but soon or after Halloween I'm aiming to add a few new playable characters. A playable Chainsaw Maniac and Grizzledude at least. Also maybe keep an eye out for some easter eggs that may tease some interesting things about the new game I'm working on, Abyxsis!

Thanks again everyone. I'll be keeping an eye on the forums if issues arise. Wishing some of these features could have come sooner but also they'll be ready from day 1 in future games I make, so better late than never : ]

If you're ever curious to see what's going on with the new game or want to chat about Halloween Forever stuff, don't be a stranger! http://twitch.tv/imaginarymonsters

Greetings, tankers! Welcome to another episode of our developer’s diary. Today, we’ll be summing up our first competitive season. We’ll also be telling you about the progress in the development of Squads, and announcing this year’s Halloween festivities. Let’s go!


Yesterday, October 25th, was the last day of our trial competitive season called, Season Zero. Every participant has received well-deserved rewards such as graffiti, crystals, and containers with blueprints. The top 50 ranked players of the season, were rewarded according to their placing. Additionally, all of them have received a unique Season Zero graffiti.  

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Our entire development team would like to congratulate every participant for this important victory! This is a historic moment for Tanki X, so, the first winner of this first season —Nikolka008— who’s managed to farm an impressive number of reputation points, will receive a Tanki X mug and t-shirt, as gifts.

The new season begins today. Get ready for an even more exciting competition, with bigger rewards.

For this new season, the overall rating of every player has been lowered. For example, players who finished the last season in the master league, have been returned to the gold league. This will give everybody a better chance to reach the master league.

Good luck on the battlefield, tankers!




We’ve made a few changes that we think will improve how reputation points are allocated in the new season.

In the last season, there were cases in which some players were forced to join the losing team in a battle that was almost finished. And since there was nothing they could do to change the situation, they were losing points. We don’t want this to happen again, so from this season, players who find themselves in these situations will no longer lose reputation points and teleport charges.

We’ve also made a few changes to the game’s interface. The results window will now display the number of reputation points a player has earned or lost.

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Finally, players can check the number of available blueprints they have, to upgrade a module. They will also be able to check how many blueprints they’ve earned, and how many they’ve spent on every upgrade of every module. In future updates, those players who have upgraded their modules to maximum, will have all of their excess blueprints converted to crystals.

We continue working on the Squads feature, which will allow tankers to easily play with their friends.

Tankers will be able to invite up to 4 players from their friends list, to their squad. Only players who are not in a battle, can be invited. Players will also be able to request an invite to a squad that is still being formed, by clicking on the player in their friends list.

Only the leader of the squad can invite or kick players, or look for a match. Of course, the leader can also pass on this role to another player. Players who join a battle as a squad, will all be marked with the same color in the pre-battle lobby. Players who leave the battle prematurely will automatically be removed from the squad.

This update is scheduled to be released next month.


And now, the most exciting part of this episode - Halloween celebrations. The festivities start tomorrow and will go on until November 1st.

You can expect a boost in experience points and battle funds, which will be increasing every day.



We’ll have a pumpkin graffiti and special Halloween ammunition for sale, as well as a new paint, which will be given as a gift for buying 750 X-crystals or more.

You’ll also be able to participate in contests to win more prizes. And don’t forget to share screenshots of tanks in Halloween costumes — it can be your tank or even someone you’ve met in battle. Check out our forum and social media tomorrow for more info about all of the Halloween contests we’ve prepared for you.





And one more thing… for this Halloween, we’ve replaced the model of the mine, with a big and really cool Halloween spider model. If you suffer from arachnophobia, too bad because the spider looks both amazing and scary. Have fun!

By the way, make sure you join our Halloween stream on November 1st. Don’t miss it!

Happy Halloween, tankers, and see you soon!
