| DEVELOPMENT HISTORY |
Game TankHead was conceived as a unique sci-fi shooter with roguelite elements that would combine dynamic combat with deep customization elements. Development began in 2020 by the studio Alpha Channel Inc., which previously specialized in mobile games. The transition to developing a PC game was a big challenge for them, but also an ambitious step in a new direction.
Initially the project was called Project Sphere and was planned as an experimental shooter with a fixed camera. However, during the development process, the concept underwent significant changes. Players in test groups complained about the limited view, which prompted the team to switch to a third-person view. This change required a major rework of the game engine, and also made adjustments to the overall level design.
One of the key tasks of the developers was to create a dynamic world that would react to the player's actions. At the early stages, the possibility of procedural level generation was discussed, but this idea was abandoned in favor of manually developing maps. This approach allowed for more unique details and improved the atmosphere of each location.
By 2022, the project was renamed TankHead. The title reflected the game's core concept: the player controls drones and light tanks in a post-apocalyptic world. The developers worked closely with professional gamers and fans of the genre to make the game intuitive, yet deep.
Throughout the development, the team faced many challenges, including the pandemic, which slowed down the process. Despite this, they were able to present the first working version of the game in late 2023. After several months of closed testing, the game was released into early access in December 2024.
TankHead continues to evolve: developers regularly release updates, add new content and fix technical issues based on feedback from players.
| GRAPHICS |
TankHead uses modern technology to create an impressive visual series, which was made possible by the use of Unreal Engine 5. The developers focused on realistic graphics, which emphasize the gloomy atmosphere of the post-apocalyptic world. Every detail, from destroyed buildings to desert landscapes, is worked out to the smallest detail.
One of the main features of graphics has become technology nanite и Lumen, which significantly improved the quality of textures and lighting. nanite allows the use of high-poly models without loss of performance, which is especially noticeable on objects such as metal tank structures or environmental elements scattered across maps. Thanks to Lumen Players can enjoy realistic lighting that changes dynamically depending on the time of day and weather conditions.
Each location in TankHead is unique: from desert plains to dense forests. The developers paid attention to even such small details as the interaction of objects with the wind. For example, dust rises from under the tracks of tanks, and tree leaves sway realistically when the vehicles move. The game also uses a particle effects system, which adds depth to the visual elements. Explosions, smoke from gunshots and sparks create a sense of chaos on the battlefield. These effects are designed in such a way as not to distract the player from what is happening, but at the same time enhance the cinematic quality of the game.
The tank and drone models deserve a special mention. Every detail, from the armor relief to the internal mechanics, is made with a high degree of precision. This gives the vehicles a unique look and makes them an important part of the overall artistic style of the game.
| GAME ENGINE |
Game TankHead developed on the basis of Unreal Engine 5, which provides developers with huge opportunities to create high-quality projects. The choice of this engine was a key decision that allowed the team to realize all their ideas. One of the main features of using UE5 the introduction of technology has become World Partition, which allows working with huge open worlds. Thanks to this technology, players can freely explore locations without encountering loading times. This approach makes the gameplay smooth and continuous.
nanite — another technology used in the game. It allowed the developers to use complex models with a high number of polygons without compromising performance. This is especially important for creating realistic tanks and complex landscapes, which are the basis of the gameplay.
Dynamic lighting provided by Lumen, adds depth and realism to the game world. Lighting effects such as reflections, shadows and light diffusion create an immersive atmosphere. For example, rays of sunlight breaking through dusty air or reflections on metal surfaces of tanks look impressive.
Physical model in TankHead is also worth noting. Realistic destruction simulation allows players to interact with the world around them. Walls are destroyed by impacts, trees break when colliding, and explosions leave craters on the ground. This makes each battle not only spectacular, but also tactically diverse.
The network component of the game is implemented on the basis of a standard module Unreal Engine 5, which ensures a stable connection and multiplayer support. This is especially important for the implementation of cooperative missions and PvP modes, which are key aspects of the game. All this makes Unreal Engine 5 the perfect platform for TankHead, allowing developers to create an engaging and technologically advanced project.
| QUALITY |
Minimum settings: On minimum settings TankHead offers simplified graphics with basic textures and limited lighting effects to ensure stable operation on less powerful systems. Gameplay remains smooth despite simplified object rendering.
Maximum settings: At the recommended settings, the game reveals its graphical capabilities. Improved textures, more complex lighting, and high detail make the gameplay more cinematic and atmospheric. However, the main difference between the minimum and maximum settings is the depth of detail and the smoothness of animations, especially in dynamic scenes.
