Dearest Fans!
We are very excited to share this precious historical moment with you all! For an entire year our team has been putting all of its energy, knowledge and enthusiasm into developing the worlds (probably) best couch party game. You are on the right page, cause TM is the one!
Fun fact: it all started in a garage. Ok, no. But really, the whole idea of The Game was born while having fun at one of our regular game jams at Gamelab, our indie game developer studio. The first playable version of Tank Maniacs was put together in not more than 3 awesome days, by a bunch of awesome guys, and we enjoyed the game so much that kinda thought: hey, why not put all 20 of us on the project and spend an entire year eating only pizza out of boxes, getting fat, working on weekends and sleeping in the office just to add some extra good stuff for other geeks like us... Ok ok. Were actually not fat, have regular workouts in the gym, respect weekends, but were sure so much in love with our work and our game, that any of the above would almost worth it.

So, releasing Tank Maniacs is the first real significant milestone in Gamelabs history. And youre here to see The Day. Enjoy! And be one of the firsts to buy the game. Thank you for becoming an obsessed TMaddict. We promise to commit everything to slowly overdose you with the most irresistible updates.
We just cant stop spoiling you Its not even Xmas and we already added 4 absolutely new game modes: the Gameshow and the Symmetric Showdown and both their team versions, not to mention a completely new map, called New York, we guess even just reading the name you already envision something completely different from the earlier maps, and so it is, and oh, wait you know what has changed to be even more user friendly and awesome? The Menu! What else do you want? Now you name it! Actually now you can, because guess what, you can set your own nickname after you pick your pilot. And lots of other new stuff so just run through and read it anyways. Get on with it, get spoiled. Santas almost here, soooo... wishlist now! Game modes We have 4 new game modes!
Whats the only thing that could beat the good news that Tank Maniacs is almost ready to be published? Of course the even better news: we made a demo for our fans! Certainly we can still beat the good and even better news: our demo is FREE and available from 05/11 till 17/11! Too bad we cant see your faces now. But maybe not too bad after all. So if youre up to the game all you have to do now is to gather 3 of your best friends or any available family members, or just lets say less obnoxious classmates, but maybe simply random people in your dorm who are still willing to talk to you will do, so the 4 of you can now occupy the couch and start the battle! But of course if humans in your reach are scarce or you prefer your own company over all other creatures, we have charming AI bots to beat you. Youre welcome. You can find the "Download Demo" button on the store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1046630/Tank_Maniacs/ And now lets see the offer you cant refuse! [previewyoutube=ydQ7edaYtXs;full][/previewyoutube] Our first demo release includes: 3 beautiful hand-drawn, post-apocalyptic maps with different obstacles, featuring sandstorms, giants and alligators - all part of a future TV show where the players fight each other using tanks. These arenas for the demo are:
Now you can feel like in seventh heaven, or even more, since we added 6 new maps to the game! The new scenes widened our horizon and brought brand new songs and sound effects, and also we couldnt resist to expand our arsenal of tanks even further, so added something awesome and powerful: the Catapult Tank! The AI behind our tanks has gone through significant improvement, meaning that by now they all developed their own battle tactics, so you better keep up! If youre ready for the new stuff just check our fresh INTRO animation, get you buddies on the couch and test the game. Or just keep playin with the bots!

Now here are the patch notes:
ADDED
Play multiple turns in quick succession and earn points to compete for the ultimate first prize! Deathmatch and its team variant got an overhaul. The AI bots wont act as clueless lemmings anymore and will attempt to jump over chasms and even evade incoming fire. Our beloved narrator now also comments on character specific events. This version also includes some new features that wont be present on the supported Steam operating systems. Namely we have implemented similar touch-control methods in-game as for the Controller App.
Added
Feast your eyes on our new explosion effects and other breathtaking visual improvements.
Added
This year we doubled the size of the GAMELAB living room at PlayIT, the largest gaming event in Hungary. It was awesome to meet some of our commited test pilots in person and lure in new fans with the game's soundtrack performed live by our band. Next to the couches players could download the free Controller App and play the game running on an iPad.

Kudos to the organisers for providing me with the opportunity to represent our fantastic team on the main stage, talking about the development's history and future. I also had the chance to showcase the current version playing with household names. I am happy to report that the build was rock solid and the game has improved a lot both visually and in usability. It was a lovely sight when the streamer Paplovag Gaming threw in a limited Tank Maniacs boxed copy into the crowd like a shuriken.
This update includes a new method to manually add or remove AI bots. By default the matches won't have bots in them, but you can customise this in the ready room using the patented Bot Dispenser Platform. It even works with team modes.
Added
We have introduced the ever-present voice of the maniac narrator you might remember from our Closed Beta announcement trailer. He can already comment on a wide selection of in-game events. If you happen to have a cool idea for a witty line, please let us know.

Added
We have introduced Linux and macOS versions for our closed beta pilots. Join our Discord server at https://discord.gg/tankmaniacs and please let us know if you managed to break them.
Added
This update introduces a team variant of the Last Tank Standing game mode. To activate it one player has to park beneath the supercomputer screen and press the highlighted input.
In team mode, the ready room is divided. To pick a team simply park at the desired side.
Watch out for friendly fire!
