War Tanks

Showcase Projects
#1

This was first prototyped in Urho3D but it never got to that stage where I can get everything pieced together with a limited amount of time. I tried porting it to other engines, make it work and so eventually I have built a custom one with opengl for renderer and using various frameworks. The game components are not that complicated so I managed to get it all done in a few months and with some help. Custom particle engine, game physics and Direct Audio for 3d sound. Buildings are procedurally generated and randomly textured. I’m still planning to do a mobile version on Urho3D if it ever picks up at some point but for now I’m just glad I got this far. :slight_smile:

I figured this project has a bit of Urho history so I thought sharing this here with you guys.

Cheers.

It looks interesting. By the way, what limitations of engine prevented you finish the project on Urho3d?

#3

Thanks 1vanK! Actually, not limitations but time constraints and mostly the use of events and subscriptions which I do plan to implement at a later time or when I can finally port it back to Urho (I gave myself a deadline :wink:) and this one uses simple FSM.

This looks like it’d be a fun multiplayer game. It would look even better if the tank’s tracks and the track drives/gears animate, but I’m sure that’s in the works.

Keep going and finish :slight_smile:

Hey, thanks Lumak! :smiley: Yes, I know having a multiplayer mode would be really awesome for this game, and that is why this was first prototyped in Urho. I’m curious as to how far I can take this custom engine go, and if I ever hit a wall, I can always try and port it back again.

cheers.
