Hero Interactive: Bubble Tanks 3 - Update #1
Well folks, Bubble Tanks 3 is well under way and in full blown development and has been for a bit now. It’s not just announced, we are actually working on it and making progress every day. We’ve been getting a TON of “When is BT3 coming out?!” comments; so before you ask- let me tell you that we don’t have a release date yet. So sit tight. 
As we are going through the game and working on it, a lot of details are coming together so I can start sharing with you all a little bit about the game and some of the features. Here are just a few of the things you have to look forward to:
- Classic gameplay in the style of Bubble Tanks 2- It’s blue again, we’ll start there. Also, you’ll be able to move freely from Bubblefield to Bubblefield as before and exploration will be a big part again. Bubblefields will finally come in different sizes. And again, if you’re looking for a harder game you can race outwards, those looking for an easier relaxing experience can spiral around the start point.
- The improved Tank Editor and system- We’ve taken a lot of feedback from BTA and are keeping it in mind moving forward with BT3. Bubble Points will be out and replaced with a new Complexity Meter (think Spore). Larger classed tanks will have more Gun Points available for trashing enemies. A lot more will be considered when determining tank size too, 4 small bubbles spread out to the corners will still remain a Class 1 rather than 6 as it was in BTA. Enemy tanks also now degrade and shrink as you hit them.
- PARTS- Lots of ‘em. BTA had no new weapons. BT3 will have so many new parts it will make your face melt. Not only that, but it will have new part types!
- Interface Parts- Some parts won’t be weapons at all, some will give you other advantages. For example, a type of scanner part may show little arrows around the edge of the screen pointing to enemies. Better parts will give you more information about enemies.
- Behavior Parts- Units with computer controlled AI can now be equipped with Behavior Parts! Rather than just having enemies wander around randomly, new behavior parts can be equipped to direct them. An Aggressive part will cause an enemy to get up in your face while a Cautious part will have the enemy try to keep it’s distance from you. Other behaviors such as Healer will allow enemies to aid each other.
- Allies- Yes, you’ll finally be able to get some allies in your battle against all. Allies will come in all shapes and sizes from the Fighter Swarm in BT2 to some really heavy guys that break off your main tank.
That’s not even the best of the features! Stay tuned to the blog as we reveal much more on the upcoming Bubble Tanks 3!
