74NK5

Sorry, but this project has been cancelled

Most of this blog will be about my game, 74NK5.

It is a sorta war game placed about fifty years ago. You start out with a basic army tank. Equipped with 25 missles and unlimited bullets. After traveling through four levels(short) you get to repair at the repair shop and, if you have enough money, upgrade you guns, tank armor, or even the color of your tank. This is all their is in the demo I released(which will hopefully be availible soon on 64D) but I still need more features and stuff to polish it up.

I plan to add more missions and about 50 or so customizations and upgrades. I will add an HUD telling you how many missles, ammo, and money that you have. Possibly I will make other vehicles availible such as helicopters, humvee's, and nothing.(Walking).

Screenshots:

When the tank moves, dust moves from the ground:

If you hit a mine, it blows up, damaging the tank:

The tank slightly damaged:

You have two options on killing enemy soldiers. Shoot them with missles, or the fun way, run over them!

After a long ride in your tank, go to the repair shop:(This is where all the upgrades will be)

*UPDATE* I made a quick blood effect when you run over a turretman: it still needs a little fine tuning though.

This means I will not make any castles games becuase this will take forever. Please give me suggestions to make this game unique.

Cheats:

I have added only one cheat, but I plan to make a ton more!! Cheats include: upgrades, physical effect(invinsible), and mission skips.

The first cheat I have added is an upgrade to a golden tank. There are no special abilities associated with the golden paint job, but there are others that do, such as the steel paint job secretly increases your armor. I also need suggestions for cheats and where to put them and the best ways to hide them.

Of course, I will give credit to you even if you say -"put somethin' hidden under a rock in level 7" Watching the credits unlocks a cheat

so players are influenced to watch them.

Additions

New repair screen:

It doesn't look good now, but I am going to make it smaller or something. This screen is the one with all(for now) of the paint jobs unlocked. :) cheating me

Falling Trees

I won't post the image, because I think there are enough on here, but here it is:

falling trees

They fall according to where you are.

Custom paintjobs:

Halted due to awaiting sprites. :(

I have amde most of the icons for the colors but not the tank spr's.

Next Version

Not here yet! I am going to wait a while before I do.

Wow tanks games seem to be on the rise, if we dont watch out it might be the next TDS genre.

TDS = Tank…..?

I wanted to make a tank/army game because I haven't seen many good completed games like it. There may be many people making one now, but hopefully, I will be one of the few to *complete* one. :)

TDS=top down shooter, which according to some people has become stale due to market oversaturation.

make the environment interactable, like you can drive over and kill trees, and then have a cheat unde one.

Also, make a cheat that produces some sort of really hard enemy, and when you kill it, then you can get the cheat (really cool paintjob or really cool weapon)

And also you should have custom paintjobs!

I have thought about putting trees in the game on a few levels and the direction they fall in depends on where you hit them from.

And about custom paint jobs. I will try to work on that but I don't know exactly how to do it.

One of the main unique points in this game is environmental interactivity. I will probably also make it where you can destroy the buildings but if you do then you are stuck.

Ok T3 I have made destructible trees. :). I haven't made an animation for the falling tree, or made a good fallen tree sprite. screen / / /

you should make the golden tank double the money you get.
