Tankroids (WIP)

This game in its current state was developed in 1 week as part of DSOP's July Game Jam.

This game was built for an arcade cabinet that has 4 sticks and 3 buttons per stick. My intention was to make a competitive game that plays a bit like Atari's Asteroids but with a level a bit closer to Atari's Tank.

I used @Kenney assets for most of the game. A DSOP member donated some sounds (WIP). The metal backgrounds came from FreePBR.com.  The Hazard strips came from here.

I am currently developing a dedicated server that will let people connect and just brawl. After that, I will likely move on to a different project.

I feel like I learned a lot about myself on this project. I proved to myself that I can get a project done if I set my goals correctly and a really push into it. However, I believe this game was designed with some unrealistic constraints (arcade cabinet, game jam time limit, day job) and does not make sense for a long term project. I think I can a better game for a more traditional platform.

Right now I'm adding networked multiplayer, once again, so that I can prove to myself that I can do it. Once that is working well enough, I'll abandon the project. (unless for some bizarre reason the project becomes crazy popular and I can justify spending full time on it)
