Monthly Transmission Manifest (April 2025) - Navigating The Map

Apr 23

This is the commander speaking!

Welcome to April devlog for Mini Tank Mayhem! For this month we’d like to keep this short as we will be describing how we overhaul our map node flow.

Don’t forget to always check out our videos and posts on Facebook[www.facebook.com], Instagram [www.instagram.com], and Twitter[x.com]. Now let's get those tanks moving!

Opening The Map

Maps are core element shaping the whole game in general. The purpose of a map in roguelike is to bring navigation and pathway where you can go and where does it go. Our goal was to make the map expansive with branching paths. We decided to go sleek, sci-fi holographic aesthetic at first based on the theme of our game. The initial design of our map is inspired by Slay the Spire map so we embrace the fully randomized maps as in literal.

During our first private playtest, many people concerned because the flow of the map is lengthy to get to boss battle which makes them to less anticipated when reaching the boss stage. Back to design board, we simplified structure of the path and reducing branching routes. As a result, playtesters are positive to see with the changes. The second design can be seen as below where the path only breaks into 3 nodes only.

With the node issues out of the way, our logical next step is revise the map design. We wanted to make the map feels dynamic and approach like you are making progress as you start getting closer to the boss stage. We’ve drawn inspiration from Monster Train map where you descend to the abyss.

The final (for now) design of the map is resembles Monster Train map but you have to ascent to fight the final stage.

Mini Tank Mayhem

Monthly Transmission Manifest (March 2025) - Switching The Canvas

Mar 25

This is the commander speaking!

Welcome to the March devlog for Mini Tank Mayhem! This month, we're diving into a mix of nostalgia and progress as we showcase the latest updates on the game's promotional art.

Don’t forget to check out our videos and posts on Facebook[www.facebook.com], Instagram [www.instagram.com], and Twitter[x.com]. Now let's get those tanks moving!

The Old Promotional Art

The original concept for Mini Tank Mayhem's promotional art started with a focus on highlighting both the tank and card elements, emphasizing the core mechanics of our tower defense deckbuilder. To add more context and depth, we added Aliens to give visual cue what players will be fighting against.

As mentioned in our previous devlog, this state of visual direction is still in early phase and we lean towards cartoony yet saturated color palette.

The Second Promotional Art

As time goes on, we've created another piece of promotional art with different approach. This time, we focused on brighter, more vibrant colors to make the visuals pop. However, we noticed that the background felt less dynamic compared to previous iterations.

Back to research department, we found that many successful visuals in the genre share distinct elements such as intense action effects, swarms of enemies overwhelming the main character, and towers fiercely battling the hordes.

The Final Promotional Art

The initial redesign is based on our first promotional art. After experimenting with different designs, we found that adding VFX, enemies, bolder colors made the art more visually striking. This new design can be an example for us as a guideline for how we approach the new promotional artwork.

The results are as follow. We created 2 instances of promotional artworks where the first art focused on multiple tanks, the second art is focused on single tank fighting the aliens.

What do you think about the evolution of our promotional art? don’t forget to connect with us on social media. We’re building this game with you, and your feedback makes all the difference.
