Hello there,

I want to share to the people here a game I am currently having a lot of fun developing. The game is based on the old N64 classic: Battletanx. I was having a blast with this game as a child and always found it sad that we could never have a remake of this game, especially for PC.

The game is VERY EARLY in development and FAR from finished but I am happy with the current gameplay and am thrilled to share it here and want to see if anyone is interested in me continuing it or wants to eventually test it with me. As you can see, I am not an artist and I am still wondering about what artistic direction I should follow and what I should exactly do about it.

Anyway, I am doing this in my free time for fun, hopefully someone likes it!

Here is what I have been working on, would be cool if someone gets that nostalgic feeling while watching the videos (who can recognize the gunbuddies? Or the queenlords? ^^):

Thanks to you guys and yeah haha the graphics are one of my next step ^^

I'm really not an artist so it's hard for me to know what exactly looks terrible but I know that the main things to work on are the map and the effects like explosions and stuff. I'm working on it to make it look better

You know, Ive recently learned Maya, so I could sculpt you some assets. :O

Looks super cool, I can only imagine how good it feels to see your work in action like this. :D

how many hours did you spend on this, over 50? Looks nice by the way, I like games that don't rely on pretty graphics (broodwar and counterstrike for example)

With some kickass music in the background I think this would work fine, especially with the toned down graphics
Aiming seems to have a steep learning curve but the overall gameplay modes seem fun.

good job!

@Zambrah: Well that would be cool, because as you can see I am clueless as to how to make a good looking environment. If you want to try something, just pm me and we can see what we can do! No stress, just trying something

@DarkPlasmaBall: Yay! Someone recognized them ^^. I want to add more items like mines and other cool stuff.

@FFW_Rude: Try Battletanx on the N64

@JieXian: Thanks!

@Assault_1: Yep, well over 50. And I agree with you on graphics! I love when graphics are CLEAR (BW and CS1.6 are great examples). That said, my map looks awful and shall be improved.

@Artisreal: Yeah indeed, I play guitar but I never composed anything and I am absolutely sure I can't compose something as badass as the Battletanx tracks. So yeah, I am indeed looking for a composer for at least one song for now (rock/metal, something similar). Would be cool. And thanks for your other comment, yeah it is indeed a bit hard (easy to play, hard to master!), but it's so much fun. I played with my sis, gf and father in those games. Sometimes we are 5 with my brother too, it makes some really awesome and intense games :D

I am currently working on making a new map with the help of my brother and also I am adding 2 new tanks (hint: Goliath ^^).

I worked on some visual improvements also (effects, UI).
