Hey all,

Check out the screenshots in Joe's.plan over at GarageGames. To keep updated on the latest developments on ThinkTanks development, head on over to BlogLines and subscibe to Joe's plan.

Is TT2 coming out the same time as TT for Xbox ? PLEASE bring something out an update or anything...quite frankly everybody is getting bored with old thinktanks....it is getting so outdated,So before bringing out a new Xbox version remember about your old customers.With these "Big" ideas and such and forgetting us you're acting like a big money hungry company who don't give a shit about its customers.

Very cool! Good to hear you guys are busy. The new tanks look great!

BTW, Nice beard 56k! :)

@joe I've gt soem queries is do I ahve to pay for tt2? For pc when it comes out hopefully and will the xbox version be available in europe?
Kris

Also @chong writing a 2 games takes a pretty long time espically cjhanging the platform to consoles

Wow some serious mayhem ahead! I want this tank, I want it now!

Yeah, that kind of attitude REALLY makes us feel good and makes us want to shift everything around so that we can get an update out to you guys.. Geez.. Please go back and read some of the other 'state of the union' posts I have posted here. We are not ignoring you.. We just need to take care of staying around before we can take care of giving you the things you want. Big money hungry company? Dude.. I may have to get back surgery.. Surgery I can't really afford. Reading that feels like a kick in the crotch.. Ok, I am going to stop now before I get steamed...

XBOX VERSION?????? That's going to make a lot of people veeeeery ecstatic... Not including me :[ So when is TT2 coming out?
And, do shut up, Chong, GarageGames gives most of the money it gets to the developers of the games there. But still, I think that the XBox version won't be worth your time, TT was made for PCs and Macs, gaming systems use a whole different type of coding, so it won''t be easy. Do have pity on your employees and make TT2 first. Thank you,
-DJ.

SWEEEET! Those tanks rock!!!

@ Pokemalo

I know the feeling. I forget sometimes that Chong is a kid and hasn't a clue what it feels like to work for a living.

Sorry to hear about your back - just went through that and it sucked.

Has anyone looked at my post yet?

Chong, you are an idiot.
You are Self-centered, ignorant, and closed minded. You paid $29 for a game and got WAY more than your moneys worth. Far more replay value than just about any game out there. YES, we have been playing V1 for a long time, but there are an incredible number of great mods available and the game is still going strong.

I am not an x-box user, but CONGRATULATIONS to Poke and crew for the impending release of TT for X-box. You will hopefully make enough money from that release to encourage you to keep bringing GREAT games to the table. Don't be bothered by Chong, he has no idea what the hell he is ranting about.

Poke, Regarding the cost of TT2, I realize that the typical software upgrade model is to charge a reduced fee for an "upgrade" or add-on pack, but I think you should be charging full cost for TT2, even for those of us who have been around since the beginning. I hope you do not feel pressured from those of the community who think we should be charged a reduced rate. Think Tanks is clearly not selling millions of copies and I am sure your profits (to date) have not been incredible. I (for one) will GLADLY pay whatever you charge for TT2.

Keep up the good work, get TT2 to us as soon as possible, and THANK YOU for everything you have done (and continue to do) for us.

I am a game developer (amazingly, at 12 years old), and believe me, Chong, it's not just "Okay, let's write a couple lines of code and we're good to go"! It's everything ELSE that makes the game dynamic and professional-looking. Even the most minor things to you are huge feats for developers. Chong, that was really disrespectful. XO

Yeah it was, I get your point, but you could easily have reworded it to make it less offensive.

You DO want a copy of TT2, riiiiiggghhhttt???

Ooooh,those tanks were nice....

Anyway,I'm not hurrying ya guys,I'm still having fun with V1.

Keep it up! ;)

Yeah, TT2 will just be pretty much 1 huge built-in mod. I'm not feeling too impatient now.

As one of the adults of the PTT community I can say we are proud of version one and do anticipate version 2. Please disregard the childish rants of underdeveloped children. The tanks look great and the true lovers-of-the-game will continue to make the game interesting. You guys are doing a great job. I have said it before but one more time won't hurt. I can't believe the amount of enjoyment and fun I have ever had for $20. Its been almost a year and a half. Still enjoy it quite a bit. In addition the availability of getting involved with hosting, scripting, modding is an element you just don't find in an inexpensive game. Brave Tree rocks!

Oh yea, the new Xbox tanks look great!

Keep em coming!!!

Napalm

Wow, those tanks are amazing, will the xbox version be be Live enabled? If so will there be downloadable content since there won't be any mods?
Incredible work, keep it up!

-Revel

1. Of course TT for Xbox is for XBox live!
2. It might acctually be possible to hack into the mis files for TT on an Xbox... We'll have to see what happens then!

Pokemalo,

You have made a game that many have truly enjoyed for a long period of time.

Congratulations. That is truly an accomplishment.

Go to a sports therapist. Stay away from chiropractors. Pray for no surgery!

Most of us sincerely wish that the game was more of a revenue generator for you. I think that I will go buy some of the graphic packages BT created...even though I haven't a clue what to do with them...lol!

Ditto everything positive said so far.
Chong is to be ignored, as his game is only as whack as his graffitti
Charge 30 bucks, whatever. We've all gotta our bling shined by this game 10 fold.
Keep banging.

THIOSE TANKS ARE SWEEET! I cant wait for tt2!!!!
eagle

I am going to enjoy my three new graphics packages! :)

I can't wait Joe =) I might have to go out and buy an X-Box, just for the occasion. LOL, When I have a chance, I'll read this entire thread.

Chong, that was uncalled for.

Thanks for creating such an AWESOME game!!! I'm sure this game will be right up there with Halo when it comes out on X-Box.

I'll post more later,

Deej

Very cool. Btw did you get xbox's devolop station from microsoft and if you did get one. How many times you had to ask for one?

No offense, but I think you should give the tanks a sleeker more HI-TECH looking design.

HOLY $%#@
Damn
Just gotta love the way the tanks look like motorcycles,and BTW, in TT2, is there going to be a racing mode?
EDIT:
@Bravetree
WHen will TT2 be released?

That.plan was a great read Joe. I wish you guys success with the xbox project. I have nothing but admiration & respect for anyone who is willing to make such sacrafices to pursue a dream (including your family). I look forward to enjoying more Bravetree creations in the future!

Ditto ditto everything positvie..also, ditto JJ's exhortation to go to a sports therapist...i went to reconditioning clinic and avoided surgery.

Excellent game, mostly excellent community. Charge full price. I'll likely buy it on xbox also, which outperforms my mac g4 laptop, and probably less laggles too...

Rock on

Nice work guys, as always! The screenies look great, though… somehow that brainjar on the medium is now looking a bit out of place on that new fangled up-to-date tank.

And yeah, I agree with all the positives here too. Charge what you need to for TT2 to keep yourselves in business and coming up with great stuff. You fellas deserve it.

BTW, I've got your RRS feed in my Firefox toolbar now. :) I'll be checking it out from time to time.

Will tt2 be for pc?
eagle

OMG!!!!! That heavy tank looks F-ING AWSOME, can you say... Chrome exhaust???

Those tanks look amazing so this is TT2. Also will there still be Mac Support OSX and maybe OS9. If you need testers email me at petertranda@hotmail.com - running mac OSX and OS9

Lol I dont like the tanks that much......

I like the new tanks, but am envisioning the work involved in skinning them.... :S

;)

A poem...
Pretty Tanks I can't wait to drive.
Props to Bravetree I hope you thrive.
Props to Pokemalo and get well soon.
and STFU Chong, you stupid goon.

That's so pretty.

Napalm brought to tears.

56 who is that stud muffin?

B

@Pedro, the Torque Game Engine doesn't support Mac OS 9, and I'll start a petition if TT2 isn't for Mac! (But it probably will be, since ThinkTanks 1 was Mac-first)

@dash, nice poem!

Chilled Lizard© test-driving the new light tank:

Is TT2 going to only be on the Xbox or(and) the computer. Sorry im in a rush so I didnt get to read what Joe said. It would be nice if it was on the computer too. Hard though. Great work. Im very happy that you putting alot of effort into this TT2.

Because if its not on the computer some people ( I ) would have to get xbox live this and that.... To much. Great work again B)

Please ignore Chong...... He makes me ashamed to be from the same country.

Will tt2 be on pc?
and GREAT WORK!!!!! I cant wait to see tt2!

Who ever sayed this should be SHOT! Ya right! THey are in a cramped office and working probably LONG hours to make gaems people enjoy! Like poke sayed he maby have to have surgury. You expect them to please everyone and not get anything made? There are others who like xbox games better then pc.l
eagle

Yes I think you should make everyone pay for the game. Its like any expansion pack. The people who think they deserve a reduced price why? Becaue they been playing since the beginning?
eagle

Is there an echo in here???

XD

Dash, will you be giving any readings of your poetry?

Encore encore!
eagle

O thanks lizard because I run Both 9 and X, It would be really good to have TT on my OS9 Comp.

But is good having it on my OSX.

Also Ill sign the petition to have TT2 for MAC OSX
