Hi all.

TU's not dead! In fact there's been a large number of updates since the last entry, namely;

Tank speed increased and reload time decreased.
A number of code optimisations have been made so that the game runs faster.
Some AI tweaks so that your teammates help out a bit more.
Some tweaks to NPC character models.
'Sprint' mode added to the on-foot sections (hold down the shift key).
A new network domination mode (as featured in the test level available on the frontpage of the website).
Two new levels added.
Upgrades are now 'bought' with upgrade points awarded during and after levels, rather than simply being dispensed in a fixed order at the upgrade ports.
Upgrades now have sub-upgrades e,g, rockets +1, +2, +4 (adds a small RPG element to the game).

I do plan to release the updated version in the near future. One hold up is that the new version uses the PhysX driver and requires a driver install and some users have reported problems - so need to see what I can do there.

Cheers

AWWWWWWWWWWWWSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOMMMMMNNNESSSSSSSS!
I CAN"T WAIT
IF IT ISN"T OUT IN>>> 5 SECONDS I"LL DIE!

*DIES*
lol.
I have no problems with the driver. you could release a version with the driver on the main page but note that to people with out the driver they may have problems and will have to wait so that ppl that have no problems can have it. may be unfair. but will make most ppl happy.

Editt: we need new music. the current music for in-game is good. but we need some Gutar music. e.g. some Dragonforce Songs. like in the starting of this movie.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmnyQvNBppc

Hey lukie

The driver issue has recently been solved in that I now have a version that doesn't need a seperate driver installed - so that's good.

Had a look at the youtube link you sent, sort of sounds a bit like Nightwish

The thing about new music is that it has to be licensed - i.e. you have pay to use it - and it has to fit the gameworld. One solution that other games have offered, is that users can play their own music as mp3 files, so that might be an option.

Still working on new content, so will keep you posted.
