Development Status #23
[h2]Dear Tankers,[/h2]
Welcome to our 23rd Development Status. Check out our two weeks of work.
New Character Face
We’ve been working on new characters. So far you’ve seen new uniforms. We’ve begun to focus more on creating new character faces. Those faces have the same topology as previous ones, which allows for facial animations.
Character Controller
We’ve added a shooting mechanism to the character controller. New code includes weapon configuration which contains:
- Weapon animation
- Weapon sounds
- Weapon VFX
- First person animation
- Inventory spot
- Weapon characteristics (ammo, fire range, damage etc.)

Feldgendarmerie
Feldgendarmerie was the military police of Nazi Germany. In 1933 they were reintroduced to the Wehrmacht. They received full infantry training and possessed extensive police powers. They were usually given occupation duties in territories controlled by the Wehrmacht. In Tank Squad, you will be able to find them in our repair station, where they will direct the traffic and show you the direction of departure for the next mission.
Repair Station
We’re redesigning our repair station. From our last internal tests, we’ve concluded that our current repair station is too small. We’ve decided to separate the repair station into different sections and place them in the correct order to facilitate vehicle repairs.
The repair station is going to contain those interactive stands:
- Rearm
- Refuel
- Spare parts
- Tank Graveyard
- Paint stand
- HQ
- Quartermaster
- HR
Trenches
We continue to work on trenches, here you can see some work in progress. The next step will be to add objects like wood planks, barbed wire, sandbags, etc. to make trenches look more realistic and to build some specific trenches modules like MG post, PTRD post, anti-tank post, etc. We are simultaneously preparing trenches for gameplay testing by adding infantry to them and placing them in the battle level in strategic places.
Motion Capture Animation
Since we’ve begun to work with the Rokoko Motion Capture suit, we’ve been making new character animations. One of those animations is surrender. In Tank Squad, some soldiers under specific circumstances will surrender.
