Devlog #1 - Development Update

For this first Hyperlog I just wanted to give you an update on how the development is going.

The game is still in development and will be released when it's ready!

Here is a list of things that are already finished:

• 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

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:

• 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

There are also some optional points that I may work on, depending on the progress.
