Hyperlog #1 - Development Update

Unknow release

Hyper Tanks

Choose your Tank and fight in futuristic arenas, where shots ricochet from walls! Beat a challenging Campaign alone or in Co-op, or battle your friends and bots in action-packed Multiplayer modes! Utilize Powerups, Special Weapons, and Tank Abilities to survive the mayhem of Hyper Tanks!

For this first Hyperlog I just wanted to give you an update on how the development is going. [b]The game is still in development and will be released when it's ready![/b] Here is a list of things that are already finished: [list][*] 8 different playable tanks with unique traits and abilities [*] 12 different special weapons [*] 6 Hyperstates (Powerups) [*] 3 Skirmish/Multiplayer Game Modes [*] 20+ Skirmish Arenas [*] Controls (remappable) [*] Camera System [*] Top down view + 3rd Person view [*] Complex CPU Players [*] Commands for AI companions [*] Sneak system for Singleplayer AI [*] UI: Main Menu, Options, Tank selection, various popups (e.g. game end screen) [*] Full Soundtrack [*] Models, particle effects and sounds for everything of the above[/list] As you can see in this list, most things needed for a fun Skirmish / Multiplayer experience have been finished already. You will be able to play Skirmish offline with Bots and friends (couch coop), or online with friends via Steam Remote Play Together. But I also want to develop a nice replayable Single Player campaign (which will also be playable in Coop), and that is what I am working on right now. It is also a quite complex and big task, which is why the game will still be in development for a while! Here is a rundown of things that need to be finished: [list][*] Campaign Screen [*] Roguelike campaign structure + mission tree [*] Lots of different enemy types [*] Lots of different levels [*] Various logic for levels, e.g. random enemy spawners, different mission goals... [*] Tank upgrade system during a campaign run [*] Boss Battles [*] Steam integration [*] Performance Optimizations & polishing [*] Ingame Translations[/list] There are also some optional points that I may work on, depending on the progress. ----------------------- I want to thank you for your interest and support!
