Introducing TGR :Tanks Gone Rogue Devlog #1

Hey everyone!

I’m excited to finally share what I’ve been working on: Tanks Gone Rogue!, a stylized, fast-paced tank roguelike set in a dystopian world where rogue machines, fueled by alien tech have turned against humanity. You play as a lone battle tank, rolling through a wasteland and trying to survive mechanical mayhem.

Core Gameplay

• Single-player roguelike action
• Wasteland level with mystery locations
• Fight waves of enemy forklifts, tanks, and exploding trucks
• Stylized visuals with minimal UI 

What’s included

I've been deep in the code trenches lately, and here’s what got done:

• Turret & Machine Gun Dual System – Controlled firing logic with cooldowns and an automated machine gun attached to the head
• Smart Spawn System – Enemies now drop from the sky and land dynamically – got parachutes as well!
• Boost Mechanic – A short burst of engine power to dash out of danger
• Battle Effects – New explosions, sparks, smoke, and powerup visuals from my EffectBlocks VFX pack

Next Up

• Powerup menu between waves
• Boss fights with giant rogue bots
• A gritty soundtrack to match the tone

This is a solo project (with occasional help from friends), and posting here helps me stay motivated and transparent. Feedback and ideas are all welcome!

Thanks for reading - more chaos to come soon!
