Haha looks interesting!

Demo available? = )

Did you happen to see the guys from Triangle Studios? There's 3 of us in Utrecht these days.

Your game starts looking nice bytheway. I assume the tank is fully controllable by now?

Lookin' good so far. The crosshair could be a tad smaller/cooler-looking, though. ;>

Captain Terror, il upload a newer version in a few minutes!

CP, i only had acces to the career fair and the student expo from the HKU, even then i didnt see all of it, altough 2 of my teachers are still around there. But if i would have know then i surely would have dropped by, offcourse i could also visit your studio someday in the future if you guys dont mind:).

Daub, the crosshair indeed looks big, in this shot, but the whole game is in a 1024x768 resolution, wich makes it look a tab bit smaller.

EDIT: current version: http://www.white-line.org/games/TigerAssault.swf

It is still in the prototyping phase, so a lot of things can still change and most likely will.

Heh pretty cool. The tank looks cool when it rides under the tree. = )

Maybe make the movement keys like HL or user configurable. i was trying to move around with the WSAD keys and the mouse. (it is fun though using the arrow keys to reposition the tank before moving, and it's neat how it moves much faster when you're moving in the right direction(facing front), like you'd think a real tank would be)

Nice, keep it up! = )

cheers, i'm trying to find a balance between fun and realism, i modified the playing field to what i believe makes a better moving area, offcourse this required scaling down of the houses. Most people that play flash games dont really care about customizing the controls, although i could throw in a switch that flips the controls between the WASD and the arrows, but that is something for later:).

Whould be a good idea!

kinda like a hardcore/casual gamer switch :o)

Hehe, nice. But the houses are a bit buggy, you can shoot through them.

and your turret sticks out over them when you drive THROUGH them. =]

Both true, collision in flash is a bitch, still messing with that. And the turret indeed moves over the house, this is due to the Zindex. In Flash you can arrange your objects in one file( the body of the tank is an object, the tree, the house, etc). As you can see shuffled some of them around to test various things, wich makes it look buggy:).
