atari5200dude82 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 looks great. i want a copy as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Unless I make a Megacart revised version of Mr Turtle I doubt if I'll be printing any additional box designs. Also there was no surfing scene in the game so it really made no sense. But again with more megacart room that could be changed. No plans to do so at this time though. I'm more inclined to make a barbarian sword fighting game if I make another game.

digress Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 -Also added enemy light tanks and sped up your tank considerably. Expanded the fighter plane section. (2:00)-You don't have enough fuel to make it through without grabbing more fuel. -You need bombs to destory bridges & get the fuel under neath.- If you run out of fuel you can glide for a bit but no longer climb. then you crash unless you can hit fuel or the home runway -have to fix the scrolling when you change direction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL88BSqwTcI 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digress Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I wondered if anyone would notice. It's the home base and I live in Canada so it made sense. A little hat tip to all the Canadian pilots in ww2. I'm currently upgrading the graphics for all sections and I have already added the tower guns that fire and are now working. So there is actually a reason to bomb the towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imstarryeyed Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Wow that game is looking great! I have to say however that maybe calling this Tank Mission might be limiting in scope, as the game you created is so much bigger now and deeper than ever. I would think maybe a good name would be something like.. "Tank Commando Adventure" or something like that would be something more along the line of what your game does now? Of course whatever you decide to do, change or leave it, I am all in for one as it looks like an amazing game that is super fun. Thank you again for all of your hard work, I am sure many of us here are very appreciative of what you are doing and have done for the Colecovision home-brew community! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 My working file is actually named, "Submission". So I agree I don't think tank mission will be the final name. I'm open to suggestions. Personally, I'd love to call it "Sgt Rock" or "Sgt. FURY" as I read those comics when growing up. I also was a big fan of "The Haunted Tank" which would be appropriate but obviously they have IP issues. here is a couple of updated clips where I have been improving the graphics and colours and game play. first part is the planes again but with new colours Upgraded the colours , graphics & gameplay - added missle and more obstacles. - Made going under the bridges an option but you have still shoot through the towers but you can fly through purple areas. - towers now shoot -cip #2 of me in the the commando role storming the castle to save the prisioner ... ... and me getting totally trashed by 2 dogs. -added health -New colours -some more screens but I got killed and it was late whe i made the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl0K29zK33w Wow that game is looking great!

+Tarzilla Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I say create your own character: Sgt Storm, Major Mayhem, Lt. Furious but you can't call it Submission as there doesn't appear to be submarines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digress Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 I am from newfoundland so maybe "The Newfie Bullet" Might too local a joke. Sgt Slaughter would be awsome. I'm pretty sure Sgt is only for a ground platoon leader though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digress Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Refers to the train which used to run coast to coast in Newfoundland...aparently it went so slow that you could catch it on foot and climb aboard.

digress Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Here is a prototype for a limited edition box I'm making. I'm not sure how many i'll make of these but not many for sure.. likely 1 for me only!!! But then again maybe i'll make 5-10. I'll probably make the finish gloss when done but it'll look pretty much like this other wise. I'll make a regular box as well as this one is time consuming. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd need a special box to keep that tank in mint condition! If that 'box' came out in 83 then 99.999% wouldn't exist today (and folks would be wondering why it had 'Donkey Kong' on the inside!

digress Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Of course that would make it very rare. It's pretty tough though as is. I may add a outer box specifically for storing the tank. I might even put in bg environment graphics and a clear window so it would display nice and keep it safe during shipping. I'm having fun with it. ... and it's correct scale if you have a handful of those small plastic army men laying aorund. just sayin. Sweet - I like.

The first one is fun, but the thought of cutting a bunch more...quickly stops being fun. I've been meaning to experiment with my mother's Cricut machine so it can do the cutting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, If you do decide to make 5-10 boxes it would be cool IF you could put 5 or so little army men inside as a bonus...! (Do they make those any more?)
