Panzer Rally (Work in Progress)

Chunkypixels

Hi...

I'd like to unveil a game project that I've been tinkering on... that i started recently, when I should have been finishing off my previously announced game http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/87023/kingdoms-tri-peaks

I showed the GIF sequence to @Lovejoy earlier, and decided I might as well just announce the game, show off some bits of artwork, and see if i can build a bit of pre-release hype for the game while i continue to work on it...

So yup... here we go... early work in progress of Panzer Rally for iOS... possibly Android... possibly Kindle...

...so basically... its a Rally game with World War II tanks.... not a lot more to say really... would love to see what people think. Obviously the game runs a lot smoother, and less grainy than the GIF animation shows.

Now I really should get back and finish off Kingdoms:Tri Peaks, so I can concentrate on my tank game...

I'll keep this thread updated with progress....

cheers...

Thanks for the feedback... Im a bit of a WW2/Tank geek (as you may now gather from this and my other tank game Ive been tinkering with http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/87942/direction-actor-is-facing-in-relation-to-another-actors-direction) so this is definitely a passion project Im doing more for myself than anything else

The game will basically be a time trial Rally... with courses across multiple terrains/theatres of war, with natural obstacles, and military obstacles along the courses to slow the player down. The game will contain 3 vehicle Groups... Light, Medium and Heavy, with each tank having its own slightly different characteristics... obviously Light tanks are fast, but can't take much damage, whereas Heavy tanks are slower, but can take more of a beating.. with mediums being somewhere in the middle.

Tracks will be set in Central Europe, Northern Europe (Semi-Arctic) and North Africa... so should have a nice variety of terrain.

The plan is to have one Group available to start, with a limited number of tracks. By completing the tracks in certain times, or by achieving certain goals, the other Groups, Tanks and new tracks become available.

Im playing with different controls at the moment, but will probably opt for onscreen buttons and joypad support. Im thinking this could be a good joypad game for the rumoured new Apple TV, and Fire TV.... but its primarily aimed at iOS tablets and phones...so we'll see...

But yup... the game started out as a distraction, when I got myself tangled up in the logic for the campaign section of Kingdoms:Tri-Peaks, but its now the project Im most enjoying working on. But yup, I really do need to just get back to Kingdoms and get it finished and out of the way

So... lets see if theres any other WW2 tank geeks out there.... who can name the 9 tanks Im initially putting in the game?
