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.

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. 😉

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.

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! 🙂

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

Art Progress:

We wrote a nice PDF with instructions of how to make Custom Assets and how to put them to the game.

With this manual you will learn how to prepare files such as tank camouflage, decals, posters to your warehouse which can be used in Customization Panel.

Also you can learn how and where to put your own audio files like music to be played in the Radio.

This PDF Manual as well as attached files will be stored in same place as your game is installed with next demo build update. But you can preview it right now!

Download TMS Custom Assets PDF v0.1

From the new in-game stuff we have improved the layout in the mailbox.

For easier reading we added different colors for example for finished, active or failed contracts.

One of the new things is also the ability to hide the legend.

Code Progress:

Last week wasn’t very busy – getting back to work after Easter is a hard job. We’ve made good progress to clean reported bugs, yet we still need at least a week.

Dear Mechanics!

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

Art Progress:

Yes, this beauty joined our growing tank collection. We are currently working on implementing PzKpfw IV Ausf. G tank to the game. Can’t wait to run the engine and test it on a test drive.

The Panzerkampfwagen IV (PzKpfw IV), commonly known as the Panzer IV, was a German medium tank developed in the late 1930s and used extensively during the Second World War.

source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_IV

Our little tribute to Polish black and white TV series called “Four Tank-Men and a Dog”. In the TV show, the tank crew was driving the T-34/85 called “Rudy” (Ginger) with the identifying number “102”.

New posters has been delivered to the warehouse. You might of course still choose them in workshop, office and museum.

One of the member of our community ThatFryedMaus  suggested on our TMS Feedback Tracker a poster with KV-1 as being captured and used by Germans.

The Germans used Beutepanzers to gain insight into enemy technology and to augment its own armored forces. Beutepanzers were usually repainted to sport distinctive national emblems and unit insignia in order to reduce friendly fire from other Axis forces.

source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beutepanzer

Code Progress:

New tank loading process is finished. With next update we’re pushing this new process, so all feedback is welcome 🙂

Next week won’t be fruitful with new mechanics – we’re going to spend it to fix ALL reported bugs – so prepare for an update in upcoming weeks 🙂
