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.
Information about MPTanks 2D's planned gameplay is below.
Types of tanks
ZSB is not responsible for MP tanks, directly or indirectly, killing, hypnotizing, selling the soul of, genetically tampering with, and/or annoying anyone playing MP Tanks. Use at your own risk.
Fog of War
You will only be able to see enemies in a small area around your tank and obstacles obscure your detection radius.
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).
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!

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):
MP Tanks is part of a complete breakfast. Do not eat with Rice Crispies.
We've made the board where we are listing all of the necessary work items public. Progress, notifications, and bugs will all be listed here as they happen.

As one of the very few holders of a copy of this game at this point in time, I can say without any doubt that it needs better house textures.
Seriously though, those house textures.
