Significant performance increase
Released a performance update which greatly reduces CPU load.Better custom map browsing
When browsing custom maps you can new view by highest rated this week and this month, in addition to throughout all time. Spawn positions are now also displayed in the preview thumbnail. Also when buying a new item it will automatically be equipped if you're in a game lobby.Custom map searching
You can now search for maps by their name or author when browsing custom levels.Deathmatch and Capture the Flag!
Two new game modes have been added. In deathmatch you will respawn a few seconds after being killed, and the winner is the player or team who reaches the kill limit first. Capture the flag is self explanatory, get into the enemy teams base, get their flag and return it to your own base!
A few other bug fixes and improvements have been made, such as the game list displaying the type of aiming being used.
Few bugs fixed
Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the game to crash, and a bug that caused your time trial medal to be incorrectly displayed.The shop is live!
All items have now been locked and must be purchased with coins. If you've been playing during the shop beta you can use the coins you've already earned to buy a few things and get a head start.
A few other small updates, if you're in the tank shop within a game lobby, your ready status will be set as a red cross to indicate you're not ready, and also fixed a rare bug that would cause you to die with health still remaining.
New website!
The website has had a much needed redesign. There are also now live statistics and a weekly leaderboard based on kills. Get yourself to the top!Tank upgrades
Upgrades are now live! Your tank can be upgraded and customised to your liking. There are 9 new tank parts across three part slots - body, turret and barrel. Each part has a strength and a weakness, pick and match different parts to create your own tank!
For a short period of time all parts will be unlocked and accessible to everyone! This is so that some raw data can be collected on their effectiveness, and their stats can be balanced.
Afterwards, parts will have to be unlocked in exchange for coins. Coins are earned by getting kills, and by levelling up.
Bigger games, bots, level sharing!
The game now includes computer controlled players, of varying difficulty. They can play alongside human players in multiplayer games.
There's also a single player campaign against these bots, in matches that gradually increase in difficulty.
The level editor has been a great success and adds a lot of replayability. Until recently you could only play on custom levels that the lobby host had created himself. Now, you can easily upload your creations for the whole community to play on and rate! So far more than 200 custom levels have been uploaded!
Finally, the maximum number of players in a single game has been raised from 4 to 8. There are also a number of small improvements, such as the ability for a lobby host to kick players, and many bug fixes.
Level editor online!
Today the level editor was added to the game and is accessible from the main menu. It's fairly straight forward to use, and the in game help explains exactly how to use the editor.
When you save a map it is saved locally to your computer, and you can select it when you are hosting a game. Soon there'll be the ability to upload your creations to a central database of maps which anyone can play and rate.
Other updates include:
- Fixed bug causing a crash when trying to quit a game
- Fixed bug causing a newly registered users stats to not be updated in their first game
- Fixed bug that caused saved login info to be wiped with new updates
Fixed the crash
Fixed a serious error introduced in the latest update causing the game to crash after the second round.
User accounts and mouse aiming
A significant update has been released, the two biggest changes being user accounts and the addition of aiming with the mouse.
Getting an account means all of your statistics are tracked and can be compared with other players. The only things needed to set up an account are your chosen username and password. Achievements and global leaderboards for kills, round wins etc will be added soon.
Getting an account is optional, you can play as a guest to get right into it.
The option to aim with the mouse has also been added. This means your tanks turret will aim independently of your tank, directly at your mouse. Your tanks direction is controlled the same as before.
Other smaller updates:
- Fixed incorrect spawn position on level 8
- Added damage sound for when you get hit
- Added new tank explosion sound
- Fixed ping bars showing 1 bar briefly
- Fixed health info not being sent to people joining mid game
- Added new tank explosion sound
Tank damage and small improvements
- Sound effect and music mute buttons added to lobby
- Added WASD tank control
- Fixed bug causing controls to stick
- Fixed bug causing more than one instance of the music to play at once
- Added visible tank damage. Your tank will start to give off flames once your health drops below half, and burn more intensely as your health continues to drop. This should give a rough indication of other players health, without explicitly giving away how many more hits it will take to kill them.
Minor improvements and a new map!
The quality of each players connection is now shown in the lobby. 5 bars is a ping under 100ms, 4 bars is 100 to 200ms, 3 bars is 200 to 300ms, 2 bars is 300ms to 400ms, and 1 bar is anything over 400ms. The server browser has been improved slightly, with more games visible, and a new large map has been added.
Room passwords
All game rooms can now set a password so only players that know the password can join.
Trailer complete
The first version of the trailer has been completed.
