Let's discuss Tanki Online HTML5 Version.

but... tanki is first 3d action browser game- on flash! HTML5 will ruin it!

I don't think they'll succeed in transferring all the features of the browser game into a mobile version anyway.

[Hate 5,582]

Possible, but as always they can also leave some of the features and add them back nice and slowly. This is also another possible solution to it if that ever happens.

Indeed, Tanki will be ruined, just as YouTube was completely ruined when they migrated from flash to html5. Oh, wait, most of the people didn't even notice the change...

 

Now seriously, many of the issues that are a problem in Tanki, such as lag, low quality, issues that Linux users face, the fact that FPS can never go above 60, and so on, are much better handled by html5. Flash is an outdated language that is bound to disappear. Html is much better for this kind of thing.

[Hate 5,582]

 

Fully agreed! Many many games already moved from Flash and they are doing much much better than before, sad but Flash is done for and it is too late to do anything to it. Sure some minor problems might come out here and there but if we look at the bright side, many many problems will be eliminated. I can't wait to see it!

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

What I meant is that if they are not able to add all the features at ''once'',  of course they can release small updates adding the remaining features one after another. Not everything can be done at once and Roma was not build in a day. My point was that they can take their time, adding the small features they didn't add when TO moved to HTML5 if they ever missed few things here and there.

Ahh alright, yeah you're right about that. I'm just thinking about mouse controls and such. It's so convenient to use as Shaft.

It'll be interesting to see what they will come up with.

True, altho I did hear something like using mouse controller for Shaft somewhere as far as my memory serves me well, I might as well look at it somewhere and I will let you know if I find anything useful.  :)

Mouse controller?

Yeah I would appreciate that! That's some intriguing info thanks.

Just had a thought - we've been here before. Tanki Online was to be ported to Unity engine. Instead a new game was created.

 

Anyone else think the HTML5 version of Tanki might also be spun off into a different game? Tanki-5? :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

Tanki-5 :P? 

[Hate 5,582]

 

Lol, valid point at least. Flash is done for, therefore I betting on the fact that if they pull it off nicely and release a completed version of it instead of half-made update like the Clan system, we can expect something good. I don't know about the Tanki-5 part tho. ^.^

When TO is transferred over to HTML5, I am guessing that we won't see hackers for a long time. However if tanki gets an app on Android, some stupid noob would make a custom TO client that would enable jump hacking or even worse, doing the wallhack.

Hackers won't be effected the moment TO is transfered over to HTML5. That will only decrease lags and rid the game of critical errors. Once TO is transfered to HTML5 the Deves can work on a new and better anti-cheat to stop hackers. This was explained in the Live Stream. Hazel has an axe for them.  :ph34r:

Nicely said, only thing I'm curious about or want to know is the axe thing he mentioned, I guess we just have to find out and see,

Me too. When that saying is said it normally means taking the head off with an axe which means you are no longer living. So I think Hazel is going to the source of the problem, which would be where all the hackers are gaining access through the code. Close that gap, you have stopped hackers for a bit.

Absolutely absolutely, pretty sure it is something big for sure but if we assume what you said... that would be a great thing, honestly I never got this eager to wait updates in this game. Out of all the past updates, I was like ''oh nice update'' but now I can't really wait to see these 2 updates in the game. The HTML5 and the mach making system.

The matchmaking system will be good, but I hope it doesn't restrict too much freedom. After all thats how I make such OP accounts. :rolleyes:

They should try porting Tanki to BASIC while they're at it lel

[Tani_S 736]

As the HTML5 conversion is the top priority, do we have any estimation how long it will take to get it done? A month? 3 months? Half a year? A year?

BASIC is long gone so I doubt that the devs would port the game to BASIC.
