Here's a new update including: Colored overlays and slightly Better AI. After testing it seems like 10-15 AI work fairly well, but I'm going to cap it at a max of 12.

The AI uses pathing to get from point A to point B and as a result gets really slow once you have more than 15 mobs, BUT, this issue doesn't happen to players. So, the number of mobs will be, excluding projectiles, players+12 unless of course it starts to go over 24, in which case it will just remove AI mobs from the game until the total is equal to 24. Basically, no matter what there's always something to fight in this game, although AI enemies will net less points since they're stupid.

Colors and teams work now as well. When going into a free-for-all match you're going to be using a predefined color that your get when creating your first tank. The color can be changed later if you'd like and there's also a possibility of custom emblems, Ala Halo.

Let me know what you guys think. I'm still looking into the particles business but I think I found a nice way to do tank tread-marks, just gotta make some turfs that will actually display them well. (sand/dirt/grass)

If things look like they're going slow in the video, then they are. I'm running a single core CPU so things slow down tremendously when recording with fraps, but please believe me, it runs very smooth on it's own (except at startup when it's running all the pre-emptive stuff, it's a little slow then.)

Also, I don't know how to embed videos yet on this site, please let me know how to and I will so you don't have to keep jumping over to youtube to watch the vids.

Edit: Oh, and I also updated the flamethrower as suggested by Forum Account. The flames now bounce off walls and flow around enemies, the collision boxes are also smaller and the icons are more centered. Still working on making it look better, but at least it behaves better than before.
Looks great and feels like it would be a fair amount of fun given some real terrain and objectives.
i want custom color tank i make mine bright cyan
Yup. there's a cyan colored team for team battles and for free for all you can have any color you want, including an even brighter cyan. =)
This really looks like it's gonna be alot of fun. I can't wait until the release.
