1
00:00:02,870 --> 00:00:06,470
In today’s episode, we will be celebrating
Tanker’s Day.

2
00:00:06,470 --> 00:00:11,290
We’ll also be adding new skins and announcing
contest results.

3
00:00:14,149 --> 00:00:15,710
Hello, tankers!

4
00:00:15,710 --> 00:00:19,500
One of the most important holidays of the
year for our players is coming.

5
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:23,510
Let’s see what we have prepared for the
Tanker’s Day celebration!

6
00:00:23,510 --> 00:00:26,717
Many of you have been waiting for the perfect
time to upgrade your garage

7
00:00:26,717 --> 00:00:28,309
as cheaply as possible,

8
00:00:28,309 --> 00:00:29,559
and that day has come!

9
00:00:29,559 --> 00:00:33,260
We will start with a 50% discount on Shop
items on Friday.

10
00:00:33,260 --> 00:00:36,969
Saturday will bring us garage items available
at half price

11
00:00:36,969 --> 00:00:41,429
and the weekend will finish with a 50% discount
on upgrades and speed-ups.

12
00:00:41,429 --> 00:00:45,230
The event itself will last much longer — three
weeks in total!

13
00:00:45,230 --> 00:00:49,440
Some weekends will be more efficient for tankers
with doubled battle funds and experience!

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,100
Don’t worry, you will also have something
to do during weekdays

15
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:55,449
as there will be special missions to complete.

16
00:00:55,449 --> 00:00:59,370
Each of them will involve spending 300 units
of supplies.

17
00:00:59,370 --> 00:01:01,790
Complete them all to automatically complete
a supermission

18
00:01:02,210 --> 00:01:05,170
Tell us what you think about these missions
in the comments.

19
00:01:05,170 --> 00:01:09,420
We have also prepared something special for
those tankers who want to get items instantly.

20
00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:11,780
There will be three special offers:

21
00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:15,550
«Daily Tankoins Pass», «Ammunition» and
«Steampunk».

22
00:01:15,550 --> 00:01:18,350
It is up to you either to choose one of them
or to get them all.

23
00:01:18,350 --> 00:01:22,400
We will just remind you that they are all
available at half price!

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,840
After you have upgraded your garage,

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,170
be ready to get into a special mode battle!

26
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:28,220
During the first weekend,

27
00:01:28,220 --> 00:01:32,740
we will get the Hopper and Railgun special
mode on the «Skyscrapers» map.

28
00:01:32,740 --> 00:01:37,200
Next weekend will bring us the recently released
novelty — the «Arms race» mode.

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,440
Destroy opponents with a series of turrets

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,860
and finish by unleashing the power of the
B0-NK Sledgehammer on your enemies.

31
00:01:44,860 --> 00:01:48,450
The last mode will be Wasp and Firebird on
the Polygon map.

32
00:01:48,450 --> 00:01:52,980
Show your skill or just enjoy playing in this
old but gold mode with your friends.

33
00:01:52,980 --> 00:01:55,160
More information is available on the forum.

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,100
Let’s move on.

35
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:02,180
There are so many announcements this week
and we won’t let you miss any of them!

36
00:02:02,180 --> 00:02:04,670
Steampunk-styled Twins and Mammoth skins,

37
00:02:04,670 --> 00:02:07,040
as well as the animated «Bronze Armor» paint,

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,970
appeared in the game this week.

39
00:02:08,970 --> 00:02:11,599
We hope that many of you will manage to get
them.

40
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:14,870
The only way to do it is to open the updated
ultra containers.

41
00:02:14,870 --> 00:02:16,980
Oh, wait, there is one more way.

42
00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:18,680
In the last episode of the V-LOG,

43
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,099
we launched a comments contest with these
skins as prizes

44
00:02:22,099 --> 00:02:24,620
and it’s now time to announce the winners.

45
00:02:24,620 --> 00:02:29,319
We would like to thank you for being so creative
and for sending us so many comments.

46
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:34,349
It was so hard to pick a winner this time
but the poem by M.v.M stole our hearts.

47
00:02:34,349 --> 00:02:37,930
Check out your garage, the prizes are already
in your accounts.

48
00:02:37,930 --> 00:02:39,250
Congratulations!

49
00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:40,345
Speaking of skins,

50
00:02:40,345 --> 00:02:44,659
we know you like it when
developers tell you about how something was created.

51
00:02:44,659 --> 00:02:47,720
Our Head of Art, Pavel, is the guest for this
episode.

52
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,769
Hello, tankers!

53
00:02:48,769 --> 00:02:53,629
Earlier, you asked us if we are going to add
Tanki X skins to Tanki Online.

54
00:02:53,629 --> 00:02:55,310
In the last episode of the V-LOG,

55
00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:57,469
we already spoiled this set of skins

56
00:02:57,469 --> 00:03:00,300
and many of you thought that we just took
it from Tanki X.

57
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:02,430
It is not like that.

58
00:03:02,430 --> 00:03:05,510
Tanki Online's codebase is different from
Tanki X,

59
00:03:05,510 --> 00:03:10,159
so we are not able to just copy a Tanki X
skin and paste it into Tanki Online.

60
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:13,870
The only part of the skin that moved from
Tanki X is its look.

61
00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:15,090
From a technical standpoint,

62
00:03:15,090 --> 00:03:18,480
it is a completely new skin with a different
polygon mesh,

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,099
new textures, and new materials.

64
00:03:21,099 --> 00:03:23,010
We made it almost from scratch!

65
00:03:23,010 --> 00:03:25,139
We had to change the proportions of the tank,

66
00:03:25,139 --> 00:03:28,290
the length of the barrels, and even the position
of the turret!

67
00:03:28,290 --> 00:03:33,790
We also changed the width of the tracks as
it did not match the Tanki Online requirements.

68
00:03:33,790 --> 00:03:36,290
In addition to the technical part and proportions,

69
00:03:36,290 --> 00:03:39,470
we also changed the paint scheme for the hull
and the turret.

70
00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:40,734
In the Tanki X version,

71
00:03:40,734 --> 00:03:45,379
there were too many
metallic and copper parts that were overlapping the paint texture

72
00:03:45,379 --> 00:03:48,719
and players almost didn’t even see the paint
equipped.

73
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:53,079
Some other parts were also slightly adjusted
to meet the Tanki Online standards.

74
00:03:53,079 --> 00:03:55,093
We hope that you will appreciate the hard
work done

75
00:03:55,093 --> 00:03:57,530
to make this skin appear in the game

76
00:03:57,530 --> 00:03:59,620
and how high quality the skin looks.

77
00:03:59,620 --> 00:04:03,522
Tell us what other Tanki X skins you would
like to see in Tanki Online!

78
00:04:05,140 --> 00:04:08,709
Hands up if you have been waiting for the
Firebird HD skin to be released.

79
00:04:08,709 --> 00:04:10,659
Ok, you may put your hands down.

80
00:04:10,659 --> 00:04:12,349
We have also been waiting for this day.

81
00:04:12,349 --> 00:04:13,349
Good news!

82
00:04:13,349 --> 00:04:15,579
The skin is already in the game.

83
00:04:15,579 --> 00:04:18,089
We won’t tell you which specific skin is
next

84
00:04:18,089 --> 00:04:21,631
but we may spoil it in one of the next episodes
- stay tuned.

85
00:04:52,647 --> 00:04:58,490
In honour of Tanker’s Day, we have prepared
one more cool event for you – Tankiada.

86
00:04:58,490 --> 00:05:00,870
Old players already know what we are talking
about.

87
00:05:00,870 --> 00:05:06,430
«Tankiada» is a competition where you can
show off your tank skills and earn prizes.

88
00:05:06,430 --> 00:05:10,180
Participants will need to go through a difficult
but fascinating competition journey.

89
00:05:10,180 --> 00:05:14,330
Dust off your tracks, oil up your engines,
and get ready to race!

90
00:05:14,330 --> 00:05:17,150
«Tankiada» consists of two events:

91
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:18,590
Headspinners Race

92
00:05:18,590 --> 00:05:23,360
A special race in which participants must
constantly rotate their turret in one direction

93
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,150
while navigating the map.

94
00:05:25,150 --> 00:05:28,190
The first tank to cross the finish line wins!

95
00:05:28,190 --> 00:05:29,210
Relay Race

96
00:05:29,210 --> 00:05:31,212
Participants are divided into teams

97
00:05:31,212 --> 00:05:35,169
and the goal is to be the first to proceed through all four stages of the race

98
00:05:35,169 --> 00:05:37,520
and deliver the flag to the finish platform.

99
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,780
The team with the fastest time wins!

100
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:43,820
Read more about the event on the main page
and sign up to participate.

101
00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:46,150
All the links are in the description.

102
00:05:47,690 --> 00:05:50,449
Our traditional «How I spent the summer»
contest has finished.

103
00:05:50,449 --> 00:05:55,780
We are happy to see one of our most creative
tankers in first place — Volturo.

104
00:05:55,780 --> 00:05:59,821
Congratulations to him and to Intention, who
won second place,

105
00:05:59,821 --> 00:06:02,430
and Freestyle_gamer, who finished third.

106
00:06:02,430 --> 00:06:05,702
Check out the full list of winners and their
artworks on the main page

107
00:06:05,702 --> 00:06:08,000
and participate in the next contests!

108
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,300
Here’s another batch of questions and answers
from the devs.

109
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:19,800
Why did you choose HTML5 when there are better
engines such Unity or Unreal Engine 5?

110
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:25,319
Also, why doesn’t Tanki Online have a separate
client of its own in 2021?

111
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:27,689
The browser version only limits your possibilities.

112
00:06:27,689 --> 00:06:31,099
Answer: Primarily, Tanki Online is a browser
game

113
00:06:31,099 --> 00:06:34,800
and the majority of our players use Internet
browsers to play the game.

114
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,750
The only engine that lets us keep this feature
is HTML5.

115
00:06:38,750 --> 00:06:41,030
The game’s textures, network functions

116
00:06:41,030 --> 00:06:45,669
and many more features are already optimised
for it to be a browser game.

117
00:06:45,669 --> 00:06:48,389
As we have already experienced with Tanki X,

118
00:06:48,389 --> 00:06:52,819
moving the game to a new engine without changing
the game overall won't lead to success.

119
00:06:52,819 --> 00:06:56,259
And if we change the game, it won't be Tanki
Online anymore

120
00:06:56,259 --> 00:06:59,979
but another game that won't be interesting
to our players.

121
00:06:59,979 --> 00:07:02,599
Will you release Spectator mode for all players?

122
00:07:02,599 --> 00:07:05,069
You promised us to make it available for everyone.

123
00:07:05,069 --> 00:07:09,850
Answer: The idea is to give Premium Account
owners the ability to spectate battles.

124
00:07:09,850 --> 00:07:13,999
Nowadays, we are finishing spectator improvements
requested by helpers

125
00:07:13,999 --> 00:07:16,710
such as fixing the camera smoothness.

126
00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:19,919
Once we consider the development of the Spectator
mode to be completed

127
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:22,550
and also after the new interface being released,

128
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:26,550
we will come back to implementing public access
to this functionality.

129
00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:31,039
Will you add a timer that indicates how long
Titan’s Protective Shield lasts?

130
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:34,860
Answer: We see little need for this mechanic
- tell us why you need it.

131
00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:38,100
Should the timer be visible to everyone or
teammates only?

132
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:42,190
Will this information being visible bring
forth new tactics and strategies?

133
00:07:42,190 --> 00:07:44,580
As a Titan player, will you keep using this
hull

134
00:07:44,580 --> 00:07:47,270
if enemies get to see when your shield dome
will end?

135
00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:49,388
Are you going to add a raid mode

136
00:07:49,388 --> 00:07:54,009
where players will need to fight against tanks and enemy bosses?

137
00:07:54,009 --> 00:07:56,517
Answer: The ideas of travelling between maps,

138
00:07:56,517 --> 00:07:59,492
battles against hordes of AI tanks and enemy bosses

139
00:07:59,492 --> 00:08:04,120
are considered as one of
the promising directions for game development in the future.

140
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,020
We are not working on something like that
for now,

141
00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:11,310
however, we are researching on the concept
of PvE functionality in Tanki.

142
00:08:11,310 --> 00:08:15,870
When will Gauss have augments that can be
purchased in the garage with crystals?

143
00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:19,199
Right now, the only augment for it in the
garage is Adrenaline.

144
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:22,389
Answer: Adding more Gauss augments is in our
plans.

145
00:08:22,389 --> 00:08:23,352
It is worth mentioning that 

146
00:08:23,352 --> 00:08:29,139
adding multiple augments for Tesla at the same time was a kind of experiment, a successful experiment.

147
00:08:29,139 --> 00:08:33,929
The idea behind one of Gauss' future augments
is to increase the duration of aiming time,

148
00:08:33,929 --> 00:08:37,191
and another one will be increasing sniper
mode impact force,

149
00:08:37,192 --> 00:08:39,130
letting you throw back your opponents.

150
00:08:39,130 --> 00:08:40,977
We are always looking for new ideas,

151
00:08:40,977 --> 00:08:44,360
so tell us what other augments for Gauss you would like to see.

152
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,680
Will there be any War again or do you not
plan to hold those kinds of events again?

153
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:52,100
Answer: We are thinking about a new format
for the War event.

154
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:55,480
In our opinion, the old formats won’t be
so epic anymore.

155
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,910
We are working on an idea of some confrontation
with the self-organization of players.

156
00:08:59,910 --> 00:09:02,540
Maybe we will even add a betrayal feature!

157
00:09:02,540 --> 00:09:06,720
Improving the War event’s website is also
essential before holding a new event.

158
00:09:09,180 --> 00:09:10,659
