Title: Tanks Furry?
Post by: Oldsmobile_Mike on January 06, 2016, 10:49:50 PM
Anybody heard of this?  I saw it over on one of the Amiga Facebook pages:

@Mike
You can try the early version from here:
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=66500

It had been prepared for the Polish demoscene party - Retrokomp / LoadError 2015
It was placed second. The game itself is still under development. Full version is to be available in February. I think it's worth checking out.

Hrm, shoot.  YouTube clip says "works on any Amiga" (0:43 seconds), but the link says AGA.  @Sir_Lucas?

Downloaded and gave it shot on the A2000 ECS. Unzipped, the download is a tool. The guide says A1200 AGA only due to something with the sound. Double clicked the tool and the A2000 promtly locked up. :confused:

@Mike
This is a very early version from October. Prepared for the party. The authors claim that it should work on 020 and OCS/ECS. I haven't tested it on anything lesser than A1200.
They say that the February version should work on pure A500. However, it might be a little slow. Therefore, 020 is recommended.

Furry?
Did they mean 'Fury'?
Because hairy tanks doesn't sound inspired.

Haha. Someone else already mentioned that on the Facebook page. I was thinking it was something "lost in translation" (think the coders are Polish?). But you think they'd spellcheck the title of the game before printing up a bunch of artwork, lol. ;)

There's no mistake in the title. There are "furries" sitting inside these tanks ;)

I don't know about where you're from, but around here, "furries" are absolutely loathed, even by most other people in the "alternative lifestyle" scene.  Furries are "everybody's whipping boy".  :p

Wasn't there a tank film out last year or year before called Fury? Maybe the developer doesn't want to risk getting sued. I couldn't imagine that being the case however.

The game is to be available for free. You will be able to download it.
There's going to be a boxed CD version with addons too - the price has not been set yet.

Yes.  Supposed to be really good, I still haven't had time to watch it yet, though.  :(

Here's the new cover of the Tanks Furry. The authors inform that it's been a bit redesigned. I agree with them. It kind of a looks better :)

Paid for this game on Feb. 12.  Noticed a refund in my Paypal account deposited on March 13, order was cancelled.  No messages, no contact, just an "order cancelled - refund".  Would have liked to play this game and support the developers, but I guess not.  :(  Maybe when they get a North American distributor...

Anybody else receive their copy?

I recived it a week ago (Euro).

Im reading on EAB that several people have recived theirs, so shipment is going as normal now.
I had some inital issues with ordering due to my hotmail account, so I contacted the admin for the shop, and he was VERY responsive and helpful. Not sure if you have attempted that.

No, but I might try that.  I just think it's funny for a refund to show up with no message at all.  I wondered if maybe they'd found it cost-prohibitive to ship over to the US, or something?  Conversion from USD to PLZ, or whatever the other currency was, was weird, and the price actually seemed much to low (I think it came up to $14.15 USD total, including shipping).

Was just curious if anyone had gotten it yet, thanks!  :)
