Tank field

Here we have pixel art about idea for a game. This time experiment. I all the time doing something about space invaders. And what if to move it to earth? And yesterday it was - 22 June. Day of second world war. So I decided to make idea, which can show this theme.  But first, I wanted as a space invaders. Science fiction, more main theme for me. 

So, this is all is on earth. This is some tanks in main idea. They are moving, slower, faster, it depends. They shoot very different - tank gun, machinegun. There are crosses like X, that can stop tank, like walls. 

You are in the down of screen. And here we have elements of realism. For me it is not casual thing. Tank gun you need to load. And there are limits of tank gun bullets in tank. Let’s say 10. After it goes reload process for some time. Also tank has several modes. Mode to move, to rotate tower, mode to shoot. Last mode has parameters like distance of shooting and angle. But in a simple way. Experimental idea.

I have no idea about how it all works, even in a simple way. But it is not very difficult to implement this in simple way, than it can be done. Anyway, it can be arcade type like space invaders. But with some no typical aspects. Will it be so interesting? Who knows! Here we can have dynamical reload, you need to aim. Tank move not so fast, tower rotating not so fast. And everybody in on a game field. Each with its own parameters - speed movement, shooting.

Everybody moves. Everybody is shooting. Everybody with its own speed. Game field here like Desert Strike. So, big battlefield, this is not 1 screen. So, it can be a game like Desert Strike. Some kind interesting thing!

But, in case of Desert Strike videogame style, it will be a better graphics. And for Atari 7800 style 8 bit style, than it can be like this. So we have two ideas here. It is Desert Strike and space invaders. First is on big field, and second on simple way on 1 screen. But most simple way is to do atari 7800 8 bit style 1 screen shooting game. Pretty arcade.
