MP Tanks 2D Windows, Linux game

Have you ever wanted to have epic battles with unique and varied tank classes, all put in a top down game filled with AWESOME? Well, it sucks to be you: we only have this*.
*Gameplay to be added in a future update.

Types of tanks

• Basic Tank. Has 100 health, shoots 1 round per second that does 20 damage.
• InvisiTank. Has 60 health, shoots 1 round every 10 seconds that does 250 damage. It is cloaked except when firing, where it takes 1 1/2 seconds to uncloak before firing and 1/2 second to re-cloak. Moves 50 percent faster than a Basic Tank.
• Engineer Tank. Has 100 health, shoots 4 explosive rounds per second that do 4 damage in a wide radius. It can lay mines (of which it has 3) and pick up enemy mines. 25 percent slower than a basic tank.
• Medical Tank. Moves 2 times as fast as a Basic Tank. Repairs friendly tanks in it's radius at 1 health per second. It has 100 health and has a primary weapon that drains enemy health at 10 per second, increasing it's repair speed to 5 health per second. It can also drop 1 med pack every 30 seconds which heals 50 damage but can be used by friendlies or enemies.
• Suppression Tank. Must sit still for 2 seconds to fire. Fires 10 times per second at 3 damage per shot and reloads every 10 seconds of firing (takes 2 seconds). It has 120 health and the barrel moves 2 times as fast as a Basic Tank.
• Mortar Tank. It has 50 health and shoots a small blast radius weapon does 40 damage every 5 seconds. It's secondary zooms out the map by 50 percent so it has a larger attack area, but it is unable to fire for 3 seconds. It takes half a second to start moving again and moves 50 percent slower than a Basic Tank as does the barrel.

Fog of War

You will only be able to see enemies in a small area around your tank and obstacles obscure your detection radius.

• The Basic Tank can see enemies in a circle whose radius is 1/3 of the screen.
• The InvisiTank can see enemies in a circle whose radius in 1/3 of the screen.
• The Engineer Tank sees all mines on screen and shares the detection radius with the Basic Tank.
• The Medical Tank shares the detection radius with the Basic Tank.
• The Suppression Tank sees 2/3 of the screen in a cone (60 degrees) around where it is pointing but its circular radius is 1/3 of the screen.
• The Mortar Tank sees to the edge of the screen in the cone (30 degrees) in front of it but has a circular radius that is 1/4 of the screen.

Do not play MP Tanks if epileptic, dead, or pregnant. It is also mildly inadvisable to play if on fire or if submerged in acid.

Game Modes

There will be a few game modes to start with, but I plan to add more as I think of them (or as they are recommended).

• Team Deathmatch.
• Domination. Have 3 Tanks in the center of the map for 30 seconds.
• Invisible Enemy. 3 InvisiTanks vs 27 Basic Tanks.
• Mortars vs Suppression. What it sounds like.
• Chaos. Last tank rolling wins.

Images on screen are closer than they may appear, SO DUCK.

Art Style

The art style is going to be similar to Pixel Wars and Shamus Young's Good Robot. Tanks and projectiles will be very bright while the background is simple and dark. See Shamusyoung.com

If MP tanks begins to flash orange, please exit the vicinity immediately pending nuclear meltdown.

How much will it cost?

This game is free to play but will not rely on micro transactions.

The free version doesn't allow you to host modded servers or play as modded tanks (but you can play on servers that do) and locks your clan name to "Scrub" but is otherwise fully functional. It's free but you do not support the developer :(

The paid version lets you host modded servers and play as the modded tanks. Not only that, but your clan name defaults to [Not-Scrub] and you can change it! It costs $5 and you support my development.

The gold version lets your name show up in gold in the chat bar and lets you access the clan [Awesome] (it also includes all the features of the paid edition). It costs $10 but you get a shiny gold name and you support me in making the game infinitely better!

Limitations of free version

• Your clan name is "Scrub" and cannot be changed.
• You cannot use modded tanks or host any modded servers.
• Your UselessPoints are especially useless.
• You do not support the developer.

Bonuses of paid

• You can change your clan name.
• You support the developers.
• Modded tanks are unlocked and you can host modded servers.
• You get 50 percent more UselessPoints than those free-to-play scrubs.
• This one is a maybe and depends on the complexity of doing so: You get access to the beta versions of the software, which can only be used with other paid and gold players.

Bonuses of gold

• You can change your clan name.
• Modded tanks are unlocked and you can host modded servers.
• Your name shows up in gold in the chat menu.
• You support the nice developers a lot.
• You can be part of the [Awesome] clan.
• You get 2 times as many UselessPoints as those free-to-pay scrubs.
• This one is a maybe and depends on the complexity of doing so: You get access to the alpha versions of the software, which can only be used with other gold players.

What platforms will it be on?

MP Tanks supports Linux, Apples, PC, Playstation 4, and cancer research.

It will first be released to Windows and Linux. We will, however try to release it for PS4 and if we are able to make the money to do so, OSX.
If it's successful enough to buy the development tools (MP Tanks uses MonoGame, which requires Xamarin.* for some platforms), it can be on (in order of likelihood):

• PS4
• Windows RT / Windows Metro
• Playstation Mobile
• Android
• Windows Phone 8.1
• iOS (Unfortunately these require a $1000 + Mac)
• Mac OSX (Unfortunately these require a $1000 + Mac

MP Tanks is part of a complete breakfast. Do not eat with Rice Crispies.
