After learning by a lot of mistakes in my first version ( http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=38624&b=8 ) I decided to start again.

Its been slow work.. But I have a fairly basic version. The good thing is there is now a good ground for it to start developing quite quickly.

I'm, gonna post screenies tomorrow. Too tired right now.. ANY comments welcome.

*WARNING* This is WIP. You cant do much at all right now.. But as said above it will develope quickly from now on.

[EDIT] Smeg it - attached a small screeny. Check the Download button at the bottom right of this post.

HA! THIS IS SO COOL
i like that you can rotate the metal whell and then the water outside gets higher or lower
nice done

and the graphic is nice too i also like the camera movements there a so smooth

But its pointless what will you mission be in the full game?

Mission? Its tanks!!! Hehe.. KILL THE OTHER!!!!

Right now, you cant fire.. And.. Err.. Water?? There is no water in it!!

The flowing bluey thingy is meant to be a projected shield!

Thanks for the praise tho.

Some ideas I had were:
* If you hit the birds (currently look like flying white matchsticks with wings) then you get some kind of powerup, like more health, another shot, etc.

* Credits. You start with say 100. You may have noticed 3 Tanks. Each one will have the option for a wepon to be "bolted" on. Currently there is only a shield Generator and a Canon, however I am hoping for a few more such as a semi-controlable missle ( Ie you get 2 seconds of directional boost after firing), maybe a near-accurate homing missle, an EMP missile that takes out the shields, etc. Credits can be eared mid game by hitting birds or coming close to hitting an enemy tank. These credits can be spend on moving your vehicles, upgrading or changing weapons, repairing, etc.

* I may even put AI in it later.. Not sure yet though!!

I also need sound.. Anyone know a good site for any free sound effects? :p

MINOR UPDATE!!

I have improved the user interface a litte more.
Link to screeenie
http://www.thingy-ma-jig.co.uk/projects/rocketbuggies/screenshots/Image4.jpg

PS: I prefer to do links to screenies as that way:
a) My bandwidth dont get eaten when people view the thread every time
b) Dial up people dont die a slow death trying to view the page

Its got a little more to do.. I have unfortunately wasted the weekend trying to fix a bug that would have been non-existant if it were for decent documentation. Thanks to Lost In Thought and Flashing Blade for all their patient help there!! CHEERS GUYS!!

Ok, a few updates now.

* The GUI is working better.
* Can Fire.. But primitive..
* Added a Rocket Buggies into/menu


I have "removed".. Well.. I "silly sized" the skysphere just to make visibility better. There is also an issue there.. I initially had the skyphere centered on camera 0. When you fire the shell is shown on the HUD. Thie means the skysphere needs to centered on two point simultaneously.. Will think about this tomorrow.. Quite tored now.

Comments welcome. I'm interested to know what people think.

I'll also post a screeny tomorrow.

PS: Cheers to all those who have helped me over the past few days with my numerous issues I've been having.
