I told myself I wasn't going to put myself through this again... but here we are!
Its been about 9 months since the Panzer 2 Kickstarter ended and with all the positive feedback I've gotten so far it motivated me to start a 3rd one! I have no plans to go hardcore with this build and I don't just want to rehash what I did before. So I am tackle several new ideas to make this game different.

I will post updates to this forums as I go :)

Current WIP:

Level Designs:
- The Train Level
- The Motorbike Level
- The factory Level
- The Warzone Level
- The Mountain
- The beach
- The Sci-Fi Zone
- The water Level

Game mechanics:
- Implemented ladders
- Movable Platforms

Character Updates:
- Ahzriaz Attack Freezes Monsters into Platforms
- Kankaro Wall Kick upgrade

Panzer 3: Update #1
By utilizing the basic modular character sprite designs that I have used in Panzer 1 & 2 I am going to try to see how many different characters I can jam in. One limitation that I had in Panzer 2 was that I only had use of two color palettes. This is was why Panzer/Kankaro were both Orange/Brown and Ahziaz/Vespeto. With Panzer 3 I am utilzing a Sprite color change macro which will allow any combination of colors I want! Since the Simplicity of the sprites allow me to work them like lego pieces I should be able to get quite a few in. So far I have managed to do 6 characters - Panzer, Kankaro, Ahzriaz, Vespeto, D,Muscles and Sarya. My plan, if I can manage it, will be to aim for 8!

Huge thats to SciNESist for this in the NESmaker Community. He created a new camera handling system that improves on several different aspects of the entire camera system. One really cool feature that I wanted to use was an "Auto-Scroll" system similiar to what Super Mario Bros 3 used. This code allows for it! My wife is getting anxiety just looking at it lol...

auto scrolling on platforms is a very controversial and divisive issue. There's no better way to induce panic in the players though.
