With the release of War of the Human Tanks so close by, I can’t help posting again. Lets start with the new artwork from Angie (@9aia), presenting Choko from War of the Human Tanks.

Choko is always full of energy!

Since we’ve been getting some questions about what we will be selling and where, here’s a recap of our release schedule on 14th.

War of the Human Tanks, the game itself, will be sold for $9.99. Sound of the Human Tanks I, the first soundtrack compilation, will be sold for $3.99. And War of the Human Tanks Deluxe, containing both the game and soundtrack, will be sold for $11.99.

Of course, we are selling the Deluxe bundle for $9.99 for as long as the pre-orders last.

War of the Human Tanks and War of the Human Tanks Deluxe will be available from Desura. War of the Human Tanks, Sound of the Human Tanks I and War of the Human Tanks Deluxe will be available from Gamersgate. War of the Human Tanks will also be available from Indievania, and Sound of the Human Tanks I will be available separately from Bandcamp.

Green Man Gaming will feature War of the Human Tanks soon after.

And with your support on Steam Greenlight, War of the Human Tanks, Sound of the Human Tanks I and War of the Human Tanks Deluxe will be available on Steam one day as well.

Just three days away from release. It’s starting to almost feel real.

Angie (@9aia) surprised us with another smiting illustration of Liselotte from War of the Human Tanks.

Liselotte is clearly worrying about all the things that could and probably will go wrong.
Stay strong, Liselotte!

We also received a new review by Matthew Kim at Twinfinite, from whence this post’s tagline comes.

“If you’re a military buff with a thing for anime then you’ll definitely be interested in War of the Human Tanks.”

Liselotte recommends reading the full review here.

Human Tank Factory

Hello again everyone!

This week we’re not talking about War of the Human Tanks! Rather we wanted to share an amazing piece of news with everyone: at Comiket 82 held in Japan this past weekend, Yakiniku Banzai (developers of the Human Tanks series) unveiled a new Human Tanks game, making it the 4th installation in the Human Tanks saga!

That’s totally awesome. Thematically it sounds like the game might differ from the past installations gameplay wise: つくって！人間戦車 translates loosely as ‘Assemble! Human Tanks’ with the subtitle ‘Human Tank Factory’. I’ve always loved factory themes!

The game is built on their new engine also used in Recycle Princess (still in development), in HD resolution. Can’t wait to see what this factory actually contains. Official Japanese homepage for the game can be found here.
