In-game event30 Aug 2026QoL Update: Zoom, Auto-Scroll, Steam Input, Controller GlyphsToday's update brings a few quality-of-life improvements for added convenience, specifically zoom and auto-scroll, along with a few other things. Before we get to the heart of the matter, a brief word on the thematic background: For nostalgic reasons, the game tries to emulate a vertical height of 200 pixels from the old 320x200 VGA resolution, so-called "Mode 13h". Even though we know that not…
Here’s another quick update. If you wanted to be uncharitable, you could call it a bugfix, but we’d rather frame it as a feature update because that sounds more positive. Feature updates · To avoid melting your graphics cards, which would be a real shame, especially for a game with such modest requirements, we’ve finally enabled VSync. Once again, many thanks to the community here as well! Bott…
If you thought this game was dead, you were mistaken. It’s just that we consider it to be nearly feature-complete. Of course, we still have plenty of possibilities for further development in the pipeline, and good ideas sometimes come from the community as well. But we always have to consider how new features might impact existing elements, and, being a hobby project, limited resources are anot…
After a long time there is finally an update with some minor adjustments and fixes: Feature updates · AI players now "fake" some thinking time to avoid shooting too fast in real-time matches. The thinking time depends on the skill level of the respective AI player. · After "faking" some thinking time and before an AI player finally fires his/her shot, it is briefly checked whether the selected…
Hello everyone, Exactly four years ago today, the groundbreaking ceremony for the game's development took place. And this day we have now used to leave Early Access. We are of the opinion that there is no longer need for fundamental changes. However, this does not mean that we will not continue to care. If we see the need to change certain things or even add new features, we will of course do s…
Good news, everyone: Tank Wars: Anniversary Edition is now "COVID-ready"! Better late than never: Feature updates · In addition to LAN mode, we have implemented another networked multiplayer mode based on Steam Networking that allows you to play with your friends over the Internet. It was a deliberate decision to limit this mode to players who you are friends with on Steam. There are many reaso…
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The Christkind has granted us two new game options: Feature updates · "Keep weapons/items on death": If this option is not activated, a tank will lose one copy per weapon/item when it dies. (Tanks which did not get a turn at all are spared.) · "Weapons/items can be sold": If this option is not activated, purchased weapons/items can no longer be sold.
Today there is a quick little update: Feature updates · Steam achievements have been added and enabled, a whole bunch of them. Bugfixes · A bug where the Tesla Bomb did not cause any damage has been fixed.
First of all, I am sorry that the update has been a long time coming. But we did a major revision and, for example, completely renewed the AI system. And extensive activities are not so easy for a private hobby project with a full-time job and family in mind. However, we have tried to respond to community wishes as much as possible, provided that they did not conflict with our own opinion (for…
Every now and then we come to a few improvements: Feature updates · A first draft of the in-game chat has been added. Bugfixes · Networked multiplayer mode (LAN) has been improved (but still beta).
We just deployed a first beta version of the LAN mode. Feature updates · Networked multiplayer mode (LAN) is in beta now: It could still be a bit jerky. And the in-game chat is not implemented yet.
Happy New Year everybody! We are still working on the networked multiplayer mode. In the meantime, we deployed some minor changes and fixes: Feature updates · The Plasma Melter is slightly bigger now. · The Sequence Bomb doesn't come with overlapping sounds and lights anymore. · For real-time matches, an optional "action cooldown" has been introduced that can be used alternatively to or togethe…
