Commander Reporting For Duty!
In Mini Tank Mayhem, players can choose one of three commanders to aid them in battle. Each commander has their own card deck and special ability. For example, some commanders specialize in boosting tanks’ damage, while others focus on recovering missing HP from damaged tanks.
Back in the brainstorming session, we initially designed two commanders: the Lieutenant and the Engineer. During development, we reached a crossroads in deciding which art style would suit the game better—Chibi or realistic proportions. After much discussion, we ultimately chose the second option.
Not all character designs were final at that stage. Once we decided on the overall art style, we refined the characters to make them cuter and more appealing. For the Engineer, we created four design variations. Each version retained key elements, such as goggles, robotic arms, and bouncy boots, ensuring a consistent identity.
The Lieutenant underwent notable changes, particularly in their physical and facial features. However, we retained signature elements like the jacket, beret, and a scar over one eye to maintain their established character tropes. Our goal was to make the commanders in Mini Tank Mayhem look younger and more visually appealing while still feeling battle-ready.
The final result is a lineup of bright and charismatic commanders, each with their own strengths. Whether you prefer an all-out offensive approach or a more tactical playstyle, the choice is yours!
