TRONTANK Demo released

General Forums Blender and CG Discussions

Hi fellow Blenderers! :smiley:

I e-mailed Ton Roosendaal yesterday and he asked me to post the anouncement of the demo of my game in this forum, and why not!

My name is John Nilsson, but some of you know me as dinAlt on IRC, especially in the gameblender channel.

The game Iā€™m now releasing a demo of, is inspired by the movie TRON and made in order for me to get work at a local game developer studio (Starbreeze Studios here in Sweden). I didnā€™t get the job (actually they lost a contract and had to lay of people), but I got some friends in the GameBlender Community, and I learned a lot about game making in Blender.

I would like to thank people in the gameblender community, especially blengine, for helping me out with Blender on several occasions during the development.

And finally - the link to the site with the demo of TRONTANK

Enjoy!

Really awsome game johnn. Now Iā€™m addicted to it, cept that I have to control both tanks or shoot at a tank that doesnā€™t move because I am the only one around right now. :wink:

I think this is one of the best blender games that Iā€™ve played so far. Keep up the great work.

Bummer about the job, i interned there last fall in the animation dept, and got a job offer but had a feeling everything was going to fast, so i went for another position. But i heard from a friend a couple of mounths ago that they layed off 30, alot of them in animation :-?

Anyways, great game nice clean-cut design and awesome menu sys, my only qwibble is the loading times between each section , eg, intro -> menuā€¦

Donā€™t give up the hunt, jobs are out there out there

Ha de :wink:

Thatā€™s pretty cool! It seems to need more ā€œglowā€ to the materials to make it more like Tron. Also the tanks have a funky drifting turn.

Neat game; now you have to make an AI for the other players :slight_smile:
