Games / TANKGAME: BAD NEWS!!
« on: September 29, 2015, 03:33:24 AM »
I have been working on an android game for the past few weeks humbly named TankGame (I bet you cannot guess what it is about!).
The game's current version is The Passenger Update (0.20). There is still quite a bit of work to do before initial release.
Here is a pic of what it looks like at the moment:
(The image isn't very good and the UI is out of place due to an aspect ratio of 16:10 instead of 4:3 (what it was developed for))
Please ignore the intro to the game and the main menu for now as they are place holders (you can tap the screen to skip the intro). To begin the game simply press "New Game" in the main menu.
Features:
A basic looting system: When an enemy is killed, tap the move button and then tap on the dead enemy tank. Your tank will move to it and you will be notified that you are currently looting it by the grey bar beside "Development Version 0.1.0". Once the bar fills the enemy tank will be looted.
A currency system: There are 4 different types of loot. (Scrap metal, Gun parts, Sheet Metal and Cash). When the player has looted the enemy you will get a randomized amount of loot. You can view how much loot you have by pressing the button with a cog and a down arrow in it. A drop down menu will appear. To get rid of the menu, press the button again.
A very basic shop system: To open the shop simply drive the tank (using the move button) into the grey square with the two spanners, a button with a "$" symbol will appear. NOTE: When you are in the shops area, you will not be able to shoot and the enemies will not go near you.
How the game works:
The enemies use an algorithm to determine how many spawn. There is a wave system but no notification (yet) of which wave you are on. The game will start with a single enemy. Once he is killed, you will have only 10 seconds to loot him and prepare for the next wave. Every third wave introduces another enemy. (so it works like this: |ONE|, |ONE|, |TWO|, |TWO|, |THREE|... and so on). This will be refined over time (increasing health, giving better weapons and upgrading vehiv
Controls:
To move: Tap the move button and then an area on the screen where you want to move to. Your tank will then move accordingly.
To aim: Tap the aim button and then the area on the screen that you want to aim the tank at. The Tank will then aim accordingly.
To fire: press the fire button (there is a 1.5 second cool down between each shot).
To use a repair kit: Tap on the spanner button above the health percentage notification. The game starts with 3 repair kits.
Bugs I am aware of
Sometimes the players tank will fire 2 shells.
FIXED:When you enable the "Quit to desktop" toggle in the quit menu. It will return to the main menu.
FIXED:If you aim at a specific spot where the barrel points toward a corner of your tank, the shell will harm you. (this has been fixed in the update I am currently working on and is still a problem in the version I have uploaded)
Please notify me of any bugs you experience while playing/testing out my game :)
In the next update:
Additions:
Performance optimization and tweaks.
An options menu.
Scale-able User Interface.
Performance Mode.
Other minor UI tweaks and fixes.
Bug fixes:
None.

I am aware that the save and load buttons don't work as it is not currently a feature
BAD NEWS!
Unfortunately the Serializer and Pathfinding had a tiff and the game collapsed in on its-self which is a major downfall. Fortunately I will be able to salvage my codes and I may be able to get it back up and running but I do not have any idea when I will be finished doing that. I will give updates as I work on it.
