Not new news but old news - Old gameplay footage of level 1 and 2. It's showing an older version of the game with different story texts between the levels.
Standalone which includes new features and doesn't require any additional files anymore. Only requires Dosbox or similar. Among the new features are...
The (dos) source code for version 1.2. You have to figure out how to use it by yourself.
This is the full version of Demon Hunter. The Game requires the original Hovertank 3D "HOVER.EXE" and "DOCSHELL.EXE" files to run. Version 1.1 includes...
.. Yes.. sort of like a lot of people prefer to be able to play games of old that some let rot away because 'reasons'. I was barely able to find the bare minimum working chex 1 mod for doom because of this.
Hey necronita, i spoke with you years ago, I made a mod for hovertank that i put on greenlight. It got greenlit two months ago, and I'm trying to find a copy of the game. Did you purchase the game back when it was on itch.io? The game was in greenlight two years, i had given up trying to get the game approved, and thus lost my copies of the game.
Hi there, yes i remember it but unfortunately i don't have a copy of it. Good luck finding it though!
What software did you use for editing this?
Hovertank Data Compiler (HDC).
Could I ask how did you make the sprites and other art work? I would like to make a mod for hovertank 3d too, and i dont know how.
The graphics were made from scratch in paint. Good luck in case you try to do a mod!
Wow! How did you do this?
I think that after 21 years of existence a game should probably be dead or at least inoperable on modern computers, but I GREATLY admire your dedication.
Hehe thanks. It's fun for me to do such stuff and maybe someone else will enjoy my weird stuff too. Well, it's a matter of taste. Some prefer old movies to newer ones despite new tricks, effects and possibilities.
