It is fun :smile: but sometimes when you kill another person there explosion of there tank can tip over your tank and make it impossible to play. Also tanks move the top part separately I think that would be a good edition :smile:

@tyler- there are turreted tanks in the demo, just press the red arrows or the arrow keys on the keyboard in the garage.it was fun shooting at each other, though! and the explosive mechanic is meant as a deterrent to face-hugging.

and thanks for testing! you caught on to the controls pretty quick ;D

Nice game i really enjoyed it, maybe make possible to look around without moving the tank. I had a hard time finding the enemy sometimes.

Is it right that you only worked on this game for three days?!

6

yes, and you can actually select a tank with a movable turret in the garage, just click the RED ARROW BUTTONS - I will note this more conspicuously on the top post. and thanks! three days of work so far ^^

7

I think that was pretty obvious : p
Cant connect from work though : /

Edit: The tanks has a very different size in the preview, largest one is hard to get a good view of.

8

preview… you mean the garage? yes the largest one is quite big, and there will be a bigger garage to accommodate this as soon as I can get some good art assets. I’m a coder by trade, so I don’t have much to work with. built the garage from cubes ^^ Thanks for testing! hope when you get home from work you can give it a go :smile:

Just battled you was fun. I am actually working on multiplayer tank game too. I think you need to do some polish and graphics, that would draw people in more to help you stress test it. =)

10

yes, again, three days work, no art assets T.T

11

tried to reg/login no dice. no server running?

and thanks for testing btw!

that was the best fun i ever had :smile: great to see more tmo’s (tiny multiplayer online) using SFS.

^^ thanks. 4 players is the max I have had on thus far, no more than 25 kbps on server traffic xD - and it was really good fun.
