2020 Update: Battletank 1942

[stompem]

Though no longer in the pipeline as Battletank 1942 as previously stated BT1942 will now be a self contained map within a broader game concept.

The front end or GUI 1 is incomplete at this point in time but I can show you GUI 2 (below).

Thanks Scott.

The idea of this game is not to imitate Delta Force or any other shooter.

The thing is, I like mapping the most of all.

So this game is made not only for the players, it's made for mappers and modders too.

I'm hoping it'll be a game that can make many types of games.

So far so good.
