What TT Used to Look like.

by Nathan · in ThinkTanks · 01/04/2004 (12:32 am) · 10 replies

After alot of digging around, I have found some screenshots of ThinkTanks in it's Beta stage. These shots were taken by Dan MacDonald while beta testing the last few months in it's beta stage.

Sorry Bravetree if I tease your early creation a bit. Think of it as a "thanks" for a job well done!

The article can be found at Here!

Here are the images from the article.

diygames.com/imateq/uploads/b592.jpegI want that map :(...... and look at the radar and names! Eww. And the light used to have a HEAVY BRAIN! ACK.

diygames.com/imateq/uploads/b593.jpegI REALLY want to play on Freudian, err, Green #3. (I thought it was 4....)
An all off button. I WANT THAT!

diygames.com/imateq/uploads/b594.jpegLooks alot clearer than it does now.

diygames.com/imateq/uploads/b595.jpegGo HUM! And look how bland the frantic levels looked!

diygames.com/imateq/uploads/b596.jpegHEY! Look at that tree. TIMBER! Good ol' Cranium.

diygames.com/imateq/uploads/b597.jpegI like how the spooky trees used to look!

diygames.com/imateq/uploads/b598.jpegStill bland, but were getting there!

diygames.com/imateq/uploads/b599.jpegNice lush trees too!


Well, I hope this thread doesn't die, and we can get a discussion here. Dan, if you are reading this, what do you think of how TT has evolved?

So, happy tanking!

I Feel Kinda Dumb Asking This Since I have Been Modding The Maps For A While, But What Is That FIRST Map That Is Shown?.....Was It Not Released? Or Am I Having A Brain Fart?

The first map in the shots was the uber test map we called 'the rock garden'. We used it to work out al the issues with the game before shipping. Some changes we made to the game made this map unusable in the final game.

If you still have it, you should put it ready for download. Looks like some good battling. (All we would need is the .mis and .ter file I think, the game selection screen can use the Freudian Shot if you want)
I like the craggy cliffs across the fog in it :)

ALSO: Bring back the "All Off" button :)

ALSO: Bring back the "Kills" and "Wins" stat in the tank screen! :)
