00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:06,260
Hello, tankers!

2
00:00:06,260 --> 00:00:09,660
Welcome to episode number 33
of our developer’s diary.

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,900
Today, we’ll be telling you
about the “anti-flipping” mechanic,

4
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:16,800
graphics settings, and the matchmaking system
that is about to be released.

5
00:00:20,140 --> 00:00:22,380
Some time ago,
we organized an event

6
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:24,820
in which we tested the “anti-flipping”
mechanic

7
00:00:24,820 --> 00:00:27,100
that prevents tanks from flipping too often.

8
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:29,900
Right now, the opinion of our players is divided.

9
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:33,740
Some like the mechanic because they say
that it makes the game easier to play.

10
00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:37,239
Others say that this mechanic
restricts the tactical variety of the game

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,120
because flipping over enemy tanks
has become impossible.

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,120
Last week, we sent out a survey
that should help us make a final decision.

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,900
Depending on the results of the survey,

14
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:49,540
we will decide to either keep
the “anti-flipping” mechanic as it is,

15
00:00:49,540 --> 00:00:52,940
or remove it completely,
or decide on a middle ground option.

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,460
On July 13, we implemented
new graphics settings

17
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:02,040
that should benefit players
with low spec computers.

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,600
The new, lowest quality level of graphics
is now called “Minimum”,

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,940
while the minimum level before the update
has been renamed “Low”.

20
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:11,990
We’ve also added a new option
called “Half resolution”,

21
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:15,040
which reduces the number of pixels
displayed on the screen.

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,500
Of course, the quality of the image
will be lower, but still decent.

23
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:21,800
However, the performance of the game
will increase significantly.

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,160
These settings were implemented
into the game for the benefit of those

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,240
playing Tanki X on low spec computers
or laptops with an integrated video adapter.

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,220
By experimenting with the resolution,
graphics level, and anti-aliasing,

27
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:38,200
players can find a compromise
between the image quality and fps.

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,060
Our work on the matchmaking system
is almost done,

29
00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:47,920
and we’re planning on releasing
this feature the in coming weeks.

30
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:50,480
We’ve already told you a lot
about matchmaking,

31
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,280
but let’s have a quick recap.

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,380
Instead of the battle list,
you will now have 6 options:

33
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:58,420
Quick game, which is a random game,
in a random mode;

34
00:01:58,420 --> 00:01:59,940
Capture the flag

35
00:01:59,940 --> 00:02:01,380
Team Deathmatch

36
00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:02,680
Deathmatch

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,860
Space battle

38
00:02:03,860 --> 00:02:04,840
or Custom Game,

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,680
where you can create a private battle
using your own settings.

40
00:02:08,020 --> 00:02:09,400
In the custom game menu,

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,780
you will be able to set
the following parameters:

42
00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:12,780
Mode

43
00:02:12,780 --> 00:02:13,860
Map

44
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:15,000
Battle time

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,940
Friendly fire on or off

46
00:02:16,940 --> 00:02:19,000
Kill zones enabled or disabled

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,060
And Gravity level

48
00:02:20,340 --> 00:02:24,020
There’s one interesting point
we haven’t told you about yet.

49
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,700
There are currently
three levels of gravity in the game:

50
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:31,120
Earth, Mars, and Moon.

51
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,660
There will be one additional
gravity level

52
00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:36,960
in the custom games parameters menu,
called...

53
00:02:37,060 --> 00:02:38,260
Super Earth.

54
00:02:38,260 --> 00:02:42,320
This level of gravity will basically
nail your tank to the ground,

55
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,720
which means you will not
be able to drift or jump.

56
00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:50,400
You will only be able to join a custom battle
if you receive an invitation from the player

57
00:02:50,410 --> 00:02:51,600
who created that battle.

58
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,660
However, if a friend of yours
is playing in a custom battle,

59
00:02:54,660 --> 00:02:56,860
you will be able to join as a spectator.

60
00:02:56,860 --> 00:03:00,940
Remember, you will not be able
to complete daily quests in custom battles,

61
00:03:00,940 --> 00:03:04,140
and you will not earn
any type of experience or funds,

62
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:06,460
which means that
no gold boxes will drop.

63
00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:08,160
In the rest of the battles,

64
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,980
which are automatically created
by the matchmaking system,

65
00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:12,340
everything is simpler.

66
00:03:12,340 --> 00:03:15,800
You press the button,
the battle loads, and then it begins.

67
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,920
While the battle is loading,
you will be moved

68
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:21,240
into a special pre-battle screen
in which you will see the other players

69
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,240
who are about to join the battle with you,
and chat with them.

70
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,760
You’ll also be able
to browse the game’s menu.

71
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,560
When the battle is ready to start,

72
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,340
you and the other players
will be taken to the arena.

73
00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:34,020
The first version
of the matchmaking system

74
00:03:34,020 --> 00:03:37,960
will not include preset selection
before the pre-battle screen.

75
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:40,440
You will have to play
with the tank combination

76
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,540
that you chose before joining the game.

77
00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:43,520
Why?

78
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,500
Because this version
of the matchmaking system

79
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:51,060
will balance players in battle
depending on the level of their tank.

80
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,400
That’s why, for now
this option will be disabled.

81
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,820
Eventually, we’ll allow players
to switch presets before the battle,

82
00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:00,680
and even during the battle.

83
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,240
That’s it for today, guys!

84
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,280
Don’t forget to like this video.

85
00:04:07,280 --> 00:00:00,000
See you next time![]
