I like how the game looks! Your animator definitely doing a good job cuz everything looks really smooth and fluid. Followed on twitter.
New tank on Sketchfab! We have created a new tank to test your weapons on! Target Practice Tank at https://skfb.ly/6wonC
Thanks iosomfg We’ll be doing a closed beta in a few months so stay tuned. For the closed beta we may limit it to a certain region so we don't have to setup servers all over the world.
SHEEP! Go free! Fun Friday task - Critters! I wanted to add sheep that the player can interact with but wont affect gameplay. If you ever tried to manipulate a physics driven object to move like a character you'll know that it can be a tricky task. In this case we are using physics to detect collisions but then handle the resulting movement ourselves. The critter basically wonder about until they collide and we use Unity's Physics.ComputePenetration to generate a vector that will depenetrate our critter from whatever it is colliding with. Our tanks use a similar method. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Check out these bendy trees! We're working on making as much of the environment in Pico Tanks interactive. Trees are baked to a single mesh at build time and all bending is done with a shader # Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Wow. Don't know how I've missed this one. This will definitely be on the radar. I love the updates thus far and the insights into the development process. The attention to detail is great. How about some more gameplay samples? Would love to see how that is coming along as well.
Thanks Fish alan Ok thanks for the feedback we'll try and post some more gameplay when we can. It's easier for us to post small features atm because the bigger picture is still quite rough
I get it. No worries. I'm happy for the updates as they come. The small features are awesome. Is the shader you are using for the trees something you built custom or is it something that is available from the asset store? Would love something similar for my own project.
Pico Tanks - Multiplayer Mayhem Only now discovered this game and do t know how I didnt knew about it earlier. Hope for the release. The game seems really cool and love the art style. If there is a beta I. The future count me in for helping. I would love to participate
Toilet Topper! We have hats and antennas! Sometimes we push the boundaries of what is considered a hat The flapping and bending of the toilet roll is all in the vertex shader and the toilet lid is a skinned mesh. The shader we used we are using for the trees is something we built custom Fish alan and requires a very specific workflow for authoring assets and its not something we would want to maintain on the asset store, sorry. Thanks Caminagetcha, stay tuned for information about a beta mid 2018.
Damn this game looks sooo good. All the little things are amazing. I can literally see all the love that being put in this game.
