Dear Tankers,
Welcome to our 18th Development Status. Check out our two weeks of work.
DP28 Weapon
DP-28 was a Soviet light machine gun, chambered in 7.62x54mm R, featuring a very unique and recognizable feature, a pan magazine. Deployed in 1928, and withdrawn in 1960 in USSR, it still serves some other countries to this day. It was used in aircraft (DA) as well as in tanks (DT), each having its modified variant.
Repair Station
Here is our new interpretation of a German repair station. We are trying to reconstruct the spirit of the field repair station as best we can, using real references from the Eastern Front. You can see that there is much more detail than on the previous version we had before such as new vegetation, spare tank parts, ammo boxes, etc. As players, you will spend quite a lot of time here supplying and repairing your tanks, so let us know what you think about it.
BMW R75
We are working on a german motorcycle BMW R75 model. We have a high poly model and we are going to optimize it and texture it. In Tank Squad you will be able to ride the motorcycle and also you will be able to make simple repairs on it like changing a wheel or refueling it. Motorcycles were often used under Kursk and we want to replicate that in our game. They were popular amongst tank engineers who needed to reach immobilized tanks quickly. Also, they were part of recon.
Post Process
One part of the visual aspect of the game is a post process. We are configuring color balance, saturation, contrast, light color, etc. Each scene is going to have its own post process settings. We want everything to look nice, sometimes changing post process in one aspect make something else look worse, for example, fire begin to look too bright or sky too dark so it requires quite a patience but effects speak for themselves.
Thank you and have a nice weekend!
