Total Tank Simulator - Release Date Trailer





About


DEPLOY YOUR FORCES AND GET PERSONAL
Play as a commander deciding your army configuration and tactical deployment on the field on massive battles. But also experience first line action instantly by taking control of individual units on the fly, from tanks or planes to snipers and more.



EVERY BATTLE IS UNIQUE.
From infantry to aircraft, super-secret projects or tanks, LOTS of tanks… there are over 200 different units at your disposal, seriously - check them out!
You won’t run out of maps either. With more than 50 unique maps you will never know if your next battle is going to be deep in the Sahara Desert, in the green fields of Europe or in the snowy plains of Russian Taiga.



DESTROY EVERYTHING.
Large maps carefully crafted to fit infantry, motorized and airborne action that include deformable terrain and gradual destruction of buildings and landmarks. Shape your battlefield with never ending artillery fire! Blow up vehicles, bring down buildings, flatten forests… It’s total physics-driven destruction.



CAMPAIGN MODE
Change WWII history! Choose a faction and take part in countless battles to decide the fate of Europe! You will engage in different missions through your campaign:

•   Deathmatch. Fight to the last man standing.
•   Kill VIP. Kill all the specified enemy units within a limited time
•   Protect VIP. Protect a specified group of ally units for a certain time.
•   Wave defense. Defend a map against waves of incoming enemies.



SANDBOX MODE
Do whatever you want, think of most ridiculous scenarios and recreate them in sandbox mode. The only thing limiting you here is your imagination… and CPU :)



SHADOW MODE
Face your worst enemy, the one that knows you best… yourself! A survival mode where you face your victorious armies from previous battles. How far you can get?



SECRET WEAPONS & SPECIAL TACTICS UNITS
We are not even sure you should be reading this… Do we have trained animals, nuclear bombs, paratrooper commandos, flying bombs, gliding tanks, time portals and more… don’t be ridiculous! But check our wishlist campaign section...

ITALY DLC - OUT NOW!
Thu, 24 September 2020



Hey all!

September is coming to an end and we have great news for you today!

If you have been with us since the game released in May you’ll remember that we run a survey to understand how to grow and improve the game based off community feedback.

The team have been carefully analyzing what we felt we could bring into the game and how. From the results we immediately started working on a content plan in the backend while we’ve offering free updates to the game such as new features (I.e. Slow motion, pre battle orders, etc), fixes & improvements and additional units & structures (I.e. Sniper tower, Shotgun soldier, Factory…).

Today, September 24th, we are happy to announce that we are publishing TOTAL TANK SIMULATOR – ITALY DLC.


You can purchase it to:
•   Add Italy as a playable faction in Campaign, Sandbox and Shadow modes
•   A complete army with more than 30 new units including Special and Secret units
•   An exciting Italian army campaign taking place in North Africa and Sicilian Hills environments and featuring 2 Acts with 9 thrilling missions




Purchase the DLC here or simply search for 'italy dlc' to find it https://store.steampowered.com/app/1397490/Total_Tank_Simulator__Italy_DLC/

Separate to the DLC we've additionally launched a patch today fixing some reported issues on the base game including:
•   Localization fixes
•   Fixed crash issues related to repeated unit placement and removal
•   Fixed LOD distances for certain graphics assets
•   Fixed incorrect rendering for certain assets inside houses



We really hope you enjoy the DLC! Is this all we had been working on?

No, we were also working on another community request that is taking us longer as it requires more research and development resources on our side. We think we will be able to include those features for free before the end of the year. But we will let you know more as soon as we can.

Tank you very much!

Noobz From Poland & 505 Games.

Total Tank Simulator - Initial Workshop Release & Guide
Thu, 5 November 2020

The first Steam Workshop Update is here!

Hey Total Tank Fans

The post launch evolution of Total Tank Simulator continues!

Thank you again for the survey responses you kindly provided earlier this year. We identified areas of interest to tweak and enhance the TTS experience. Over these 5 and a half months we implemented performance improvements and fixes, added content and features for free (more units, slow motion, pre- battle orders, etc) and a paid DLC to introduce a new faction. Today we are excited to announce another free addition: Steam Workshop!

Today’s content update introduces the first installment of features that allow players to create unit deployments on sandbox, also to create and pack collections of sandbox missions that can be published and downloaded. We planned this as a first integration of Workshop features that will permit the community to create their own content and expand the game as per their imagination… and we’ll keep working on the backend to introduce new workshop capabilities. We are sure you have more questions: when will that happen? What else will be introduced? Will it be free or paid?

For now we rather not compromise on times or content, please, stay tuned. What we can confirm is that the next Workshop drop will be free as well! We will be making updates to the workshop over the next days as we find out about possible issues. If you have any trouble please check out our pinned support post.

We hope you enjoy today's update and please read on for the guide and patch notes!

Noobz From Poland and 505 Games

PATCH NOTES

- Added a workshop mission scenario editor where players can create custom scenarios for other players to play
- Added manage mods section in the workshop editor to allow players to control which mods are enabled & in which version
- Added scenarios section in the main menu containing the scenarios created by other players.

- Known issues: for now the Italy DLC faction should for not be used in the workshop editor.


Hey, this short guide will show you how to create a custom mission scenarios that you can upload to Steam Workshop and share with other players.


SCENARIO MISSION GUIDE

Creating new scenarios

1. To create a new mission scenario first go to ​“Workshop”​ in the main menu.
2. Then select ​“Edit scenarios”
3. You will be presented with a list of scenarios that you created. Initially that list will be empty. Click the ​“Create new”​ button at the bottom.
4. You will be prompted to enter the Steam workshop mod name. This name will be the one visible on the Steam Workshop page. ​NOTE: this name cannot be changed later, so pick wisely.



5. Next up, assign Scenario name & description:



6. After that, it’s time to create some missions. Use “Add” button in the middle column to add new missions.

7. Choose mission name & description at the top of the right panel:



8. When a new mission is created, you can configure its various parameters the way you would in Sandbox. Additionally, it’s also possible to create VIP-protect & VIP-kill missions as well as Wave survival missions:



9. Select the remaining options such as the map, factions fighting, 1v1 or 2v2 or FFA. Note that those options cannot be changed once units are deployed​.



10.Use ​“Start” ​button to begin deploying units. The map will begin loading.



11.Once, on the map you should be presented with the following interface:



12.Yellow and red prompts at the top remind you which side is the player’s side and which sides will be the enemy sides.

13.Buttons on the right allow you to save your deployment, discard changes and switch between waves (in wave type missions).
14.Use ​“Switch to testing”​ button at the top to enter mission testing mode. In this units any changes to the deployment will be temporary - you can for instance deploy units that the player could deploy and see how the result plays out.
15.Use ​“Switch to editing” ​button to go back to deploying units that will be part of the saved mission.

16.Additionally, in wave missions you can click on the Wave icon to open this panel that enables switching between different waves of enemy units:



17.Once you’re ready, click on the ​Save icon ​on the right to save changes to your deployment.

The prompt will make sure you want to close mission editor (the changes will be saved). You land back in the scenario editor inside workshop.

18.At any time, you can click “Save and close” button on the left to save your changes to the scenario to disk and exit the workshop editor.
19.Once your mission scenario is complete, you can click ​“Upload to Steam”​. If no errors are found, the scenario will be uploaded to Steam and an overlay for your new Workshop item will be opened.

20.You can make changes to your scenarios and use “Upload to Steam” again to upload new versions of the mod.
21.NOTE​, even though you are the mod author, the mod will not be automatically subscribed for you. You have to follow the same steps as are listed in the “Play a scenario from workshop” section.

PLAYING SCENARIOS FROM WORKSHOP

1. Locate a Workshop scenario on Steam and click ​“Subscribe”.
2. Make sure you restart the game.

3. Steam launcher should download the scenario on your drive.

4. After you launch the game, the scenario should be available on the list under “Scenarios” button in the main menu.

5. NOTE, you can adjust which scenarios are enabled or disabled in the “Workshop” > “

STEAM WORKSHOP - UNIT CREATOR [VERSION 1]
Thu, 17 December 2020

Modders can now create and share their own Units!

Hey all!

As hinted a few weeks ago we continue to enlarge the Total Tank Simulator experience!

2020 has been a very intense year for everybody, obviously we were excited and anxious to deliver our first game. Little we knew that we were going to do it in the middle of a global health crisis experiencing situations we could have never thought of.

Once the game was out and we could get your feedback, we have enhanced and updated the game for free with new content and features in regular basis and we also delivered the Italy DLC.

The latest manoeuvre was to implement Steam Workshop to allow players to introduce some playable content into the game.

Today, we are very happy to let you know that we are bringing a new free update to the Steam Workshop to allow modders to create and share their own units! and we wanted to bring this before the end of the year!

After reviewing amount of ideas and feedback the community provided back in Spring we thought a good approach was to let players create their own units and missions. We are eager to see all that creativity crystallize.

We have many ideas, but we do not have set plans for 2021, as we told you, this has been a quite intense experience and we are really looking forward to the upcoming holiday season.

We will be resting a little while we watch how the evolution of TTS performs.

As usual, please, let us know your feedback and suggestions, we might not be able to answer things instantly as a lot of us take break now until the 4th January.

We want to wish you and your families great holidays, peace, and health!


GET STARTED CREATING UNITS

To get started please read our guides here [STEAM UNIT WORKSHOP GUIDE]

If you have any issues specific to Steam Workshop please feel free to email the team here, please note this will only be monitored for workshop related enquiries: ttsworkshop@noobzfrompoland.com



CHANGE LOG

- Added support for custom tank models loaded from mods that can be created using our Blender > Unity3d pipeline.
- Support for custom soldier poses in tanks imported from mods
- Game data has been repackaged in a more efficient type of storage (asset bundles) in order to support modability and improve load times.
- Reduced build size by deduplicating some data common for the base version of the game and DLC
- Fixed issues related to mod enabling / disabling / updating.
- Fixes in mission workshop UI and mission editing
