TankYou! Patch 1.0.1
A day 2 patch has been loaded today. TankYou! v1.01 is addressing some issues affecting the game experience. They are not many, but important. And a nice little feature to make you feel better when losing. Here's the list:
Improved mouse aiming algorithm - there is now a new method for calculating turret rotation, based on the direction and also speed at which the mouse moves. It is now possible to softly aim your turret when playing with a mouse, for maximum accuracy.
Added Mouse sensitivity in Options Menu - to improve keyboard/mouse support, there is now a "mouse sensitivity" option
Coins now have a higher chance of spawning when the score condition is to get coins - this should now reduce the time spent in "Gold Digger" mode and Arcade missions where you need to gather coins in order to score
Improved the camera follow algorithm - the camera now accurately detects the center of players instead of calculating their overall positional weight
Tips messages - a small feature to help you deal with defeat when playing alone or Arcade modes
Walls behave correctly when shot - some walls behaved incorrectly when show with rockets
For any suggestions or inconveniences feel free to use the forums. Unless you're really happy and want to post a positive review, which is totally fine.
TANKYOU! is now officially released!
It's been a long ride, but the tanks can now finally drop in, worldwide.
First off, I cannot thank everyone enough, who have supported TankYou! since the original Steam Greenlight campaign. And on this note, I'd like to say that I did my best to step over the initial promise and offer even more maps, bosses, game modes and a general higher quality of life and quality for the game. It's gotten here thanks to your support, no other way! And there will be more!
What happens now is, the tides of the release day need to clear, after which, the roadmap goes onward. Yes! There is still content heading TankYou!'s way, as a game is never really finished, especially TankYou! which I hope to become "the game" to play when your friends are over. More precisely, there are 5 free, planned updates on the way, to add to the craziness. Expect more of everything!
The TankYou! Soundtrack DLC is the only DLC the game will be getting for the foreseeable future. It stands as appreciation to the amazing work composer Andrew Brady has put in. If you'd like to show support, then this DLC is the answer.
For answers, questions or if you'd just like to say "hi!", come to the game's official forum, here on steam, don't be shy. It's the place to follow future updates as well.
In the meantime, have fun breaking and blowing stuff up!
