Hello everyone, hope your all doing well since the new year!

I have some updates for all of you interested in following the games development. I also have an important question to ask all of you. All will be revealed below. 

Updates

This version of Toy Tanks, currently windows only(I'll update the other builds soon), contains many new additions along with a few changes to the structure of the free demo. Some levels, including new ones, were made available while some were taken away. Overall I think players are going to get a bit more out of the demo this way then before. 

One of the big additions was the new Tank added, or should I say the three new Tanks added! I'm calling the new Tank: Pokee, mostly because It's design and mechanics were inspired by the game - Pokémon. This Tank starts off the level very weak, it wont try and attack the player at all. Instead it actually tries to run away from the player. This Tank also has new physical features added, they will aid you in understanding exactly how Pokee works. I'd rather not give away all the secrets to this little guy, but lets just say you might not want to take your eyes off of him. Do so and before long he may evolve into something more!

Other additions include Levels, of course, designed around our new Tank, and various different kinds of visual special effects. Tanks flash bright white when taking damage, They explode more vigorously when destroyed, they darken when taking damage while invisible, they fling "Parried" bullets to the side, they leave behind Tank Tracks while moving around...etc. Everything has been tuned up to feel tight, responsive, and impactful so that that the player can know exactly what's going on at all times. 

Odds and ends have been changed and fixed here and there. Some of these things I'll go into more depth on in the future, some of them I'll leave you to discover!

Question 

Onto the question portion of the devlog! Here is my request: If you have played the demo and have a cool Tank idea you think would be perfect in the game, please tell me in the comments below or email me at: rodneyluckhurst@gmail.com

I will consider any and all Tank ideas, I'd like to add many new tanks all with their own special abilities and tactics!

A big Thank You to everyone who took the time to read till the end, I'm wishing you the best. 

Until next time, 

Rodney
