Dear Mechanics!

Welcome to our eighty-first Development Status update.
Let’s get straight to business.

Art Progress:

Hello, dear mechanics. We would like to introduce you to the finished and implemented to the game model of the American tank destroyer M10 Wolverine.

M10 Gun Motor Carriage Wolverine – In-game implementation

The M10 tank destroyer was an American tank destroyer of World War II. After US entry into World War II and the formation of the Tank Destroyer Force, a suitable vehicle was needed to equip the new battalions. By November 1941, the Army requested a vehicle with a gun in a fully rotating turret after other interim models were criticized for being too poorly designed. The prototype of the M10 was conceived in early 1942, being delivered in April of that year.

M10 Gun Motor Carriage Wolverine – In-game implementation

Little disclaimer, ammunition placed inside ammunition storage is added here on promotion purpose. We are working on implementing this feature into the game.

Dear Mechanics!

Welcome to our eighty Development Status update.
Let’s get straight to business.

Situation Report:

Due to few major bugs reported in current demo version on Steam, with this development status we are going to update demo version to 0.9.44. If you encounter critical errors, please reset the data of the game by using the SupportPanel. If this does not help, write us about the bug 😉

Tank Mechanic Simulator is still under QA verification process. Be patient 😉

Art Progress:

We’ve already had a chance to show this tank on discord, but he didn’t have his five minutes of fame in our development posts yet. It’s time to make up for it. 😉

PzKpfw IV Ausf. G – In-game implementation

More vehicles are being developed, one of them is an M10 Gun Motor Carriage “Wolverine” tank.

M10 GMC Wolverine – Work in progress

Code Progress:

We’ve fixed the bugs reported about game freezing every moment, it was old autosave system working. Now the system works on it’s own thread.

If you have any suggestions, ideas or questions share it with us! 🙂

Dear Mechanics!

Welcome to our seventy-nine Development Status update.
Let’s get straight to business.

Situation Report:

Another tank for the game is being implemented. Amazing PzKpfw. V Panther Ausf. A! Here are some in-game screenshots.

Art Progress:

PzKpfw. V Panther Ausf. A – In-game implementation

Code Progress:

During last few months we’ve sent few builds to you and PlayWay testers. This gave us more time to fix the game as we’re getting close to release.

Right now we’re working on expanding the contracts/job system, as well as implementing story contracts.

The purpose of story contracts is to, as suggested by our audience, introduce the game to the player more subtly and slowly than before. New type of contracts are going to be more specific in their tasks.

Example:

previously, each repair contract would differ only in tank mark and the % of required repairs
now, a sample contract: Please assemble the tracks of my KV-1, as well as renovate the engine. Another thing, fill the oil and run a test run drive to check if everything works.

Another thing the coding department is adding, are save files and Steam Cloud support. This is going to take at least a week or two, we’re going to report when this milestone is ready.

If you have any suggestions, ideas or questions share it with us! 🙂
