Bubble Tanks Arenas Update #3
Since Bubble Tanks Arenas Update #2 seemed to be successful, I thought I’d hold up my promise to do a follow-up post with more answers to your questions submitted via the comments section. I’m not going to try to answer all questions here, but just a few. Onward!
Q: Will you be able to face other people’s tanks?
A: Yes, sort of. If I create enemies and arenas and upload them to the server, other players will be able to fight the enemies I created. If I create an avatar tank (player controlled), you can’t fight that with your avatar tank.
Q: What is special about creating Arenas?
A: Arenas let you create Bubblefields with your own custom created tanks. If my friend John plays an arena that I created, his game will automatically download all of the enemies I created as well so he can fight them in the arena I made. You can determine how many of each enemy you want and combinations you’d like, but you can’t determine the starting positions of enemy tanks.
Q: Can I make a tank on one site such as ArmorGames.com and then load it up on another site such as Kongregate.com?
A: As long as both sites allow us to connect to our server (the above named sites will), and as long as you upload your tank to our server, then yes, you will be able to download your tank on other sites.
[Edit] You can also simply copy and paste the Tank Code (TC) from wherever and paste it into the game to load a tank.
Q: If I sell a weapon will I get all my Gun Points (GP) back?
A: Yes. GP is more like a limit to how strong you can make your tank. You can totally swap out weapons. If you don’t like one 3 GP gun, you can trade it in to get a different one or even 3 separate 1 GP guns.
Q: If you save a custom tank will you have to write down the number to retrieve it or does it also save locally?
A: There are a lot of ways to get tanks. First of all, when you save a custom tank, it will save locally. It will also give you the Tank Code (TC), the actual data, that you can copy and paste into notepad to save or email to a friend, whatever. You then also have the option to save the tank to our server on top of that, if you feel it’s a particularly awesome creation. Tanks saved to the server are issued ID #’s.
When people load tanks, they can either enter in a tank ID number to load a specific tank, they can copy and paste the Tank Code into a box and load it that way, or they can just browse our server and see what other people have made. If they see something that looks cool it’s just one click to save that tank to your local machine so you don’t have to browse for it again or remember the ID number.
Q: Will guns rotate with the tank or rotate independently?
A: Both, it depends on a few things. Some guns NEVER rotate, i.e. the massive cannon from BT2. Typically though when you’re talking about basic and heavy cannons, it depends on the size of your tank. There are 6 size classes. Tanks sized class 3 or lower will not have rotating cannons. If you have a gun that points backwards, it’ll always shoot behind you. If you are class 4 or larger, then your guns will rotate. Really large tanks may also have the option of getting weapons that have auto targeting enabled- basic cannon auto turrets as they were in BT2.
Q: What do you mean by “the money we receive” in the question regarding Extra Content in the previous Q&A?
A: BTA will be free to play, but it will have Extra Content. EC will be free to play, but you will have to play it on ArmorGames.com. ArmorGames pays Hero Interactive to make the Extra Content because it drives more traffic to their site. Although EC can be frustrating, we like it because it allows us to make a LOT more stuff for BTA (and make the game in the first place) while at the same time making everything free for the players.
Q: Will there be a way to get infinite GP and BP?
A: Probably not.
Q: Will Arenas keep track of scores and time’s of completion?
A: Of course!
Q: How is tank speed determined?
A: Both armor and speed are determined by the Class of your tank. Class is determined by the size of your tank. The bigger you make your tank, the more health it will have but the slower it will be. Starting the game, you will be only able to make Class 1 tanks. As you progress, you’ll be able to unlock larger classes. Also, if you’re wondering why you’d want to make a small tank when you have class 6 unlocked, some weapons and parts will have class restrictions. For example, a massive cannon might only be able to go on Class 5 and higher tanks. A piercing sniper cannon might only be able to go on a class 2 or smaller tank. So there are advantages to going either way.
Q: Will there be many new weapons?
A: Probably not unfortunately. This round, we’re mainly focusing on the ability to simply create tanks and share them. In future versions of the Bubble Tanks series (aka, BT3), we’ll be focusing mainly on making many new weapons and parts for your tanks.
second comment!
and bta will be balanced
Cool.
And nice work! Keep it going!
BTA is getting closer to completion. I cannot wait. I just hope that thing you said about the sniper cannon isn’t true.
will bt3 be multiplayer…. of course this question is best save for when you actually start making it….
can we see some pics of all the diffrent class sizes? (6 o’s the size of the tanks)
nice 5.
I was hoping for some huge guns,ah too bad……at least it’s gonna finish quickly.
Yay! Thanks for the update! I think all of your fans will be a lot more patient if you post these Q&A posts from time to time. Keep up the good work!
Question: I’m not asking for a percent completion or a time estimation, but how exactly is the progress going? Are you going smoothly and steadily, or are you guys getting constantly stuck on single (or parts of) aspects and coding?
Well, here is a Class 2 tank. The max size this player can get up to is Class 4. Classes 5 and 6 are locked for them:

On the BTA thank editor prewiew on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS95fZCUW44&feature=player_embedded) you see size 6 in the secon half of the vid :]
sorry, It should be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS95fZCUW44&feature=player_embedded
Sorry for the doubble post but I think i spelled it wrong.
Awesome updates. Thanks for answering our questions.
cool.So close,i cant wait.Also are you doing any proses on storm winds.just want to know if your working on both.
P.S.BTA will rock
Cool. I guess you were not kidding about more updates.
Why is it that you always partner with ArmorGames? I personally dislike the site, and find Kongregate to have a better interface, and usually better games. All my stats and favorites are on there. Plus, Kongregate has achievements! I don’t want to have to play on Kongregate for the achievements and then again on ArmorGames for the extra content, that’s not very fair. Kongregate has really taken off lately, and I’m sure they’d love to parter with you as they have with many others.
I just thought of another question. How will tank stamina/evolution be shown during battle? In previous bubble tank games, when you or an enemy took damage, the ship would slowly devolve or fall apart. Will we be seeing this implemented in BTA, or will the tanks keep their form until they run out of life?
‘we’re mainly focusing on the ability to simply create tanks and share them’
Thats why I want this game!
thankyou SO MUCH! you answered all my questions. can’t wait for it
@Sarcastic: I love Kongregate and I’m in touch with them often. However, we work primarily with Armor Games for 2 reasons: 1) We’ve worked with them since the beginning (without AG Bubble Tanks 1 wouldn’t exist!) and the owner and I have become good friends. 2) Armor Games treats us well and offers the most money for our games. Simple as that.
Ohh sweet,
All the nagging questions are answered… but on a sad note, now I want to try the game out even more. ‘
Thank you for answering all of our questions so expediently, I appreciate this new post. BTA sounds AMAZING, as much as I want to hear updates, it makes it even harder to wait… Thank you.
Tally-ho, another update!
The updates are popping up much faster than they originally did. They must be getting VERY close. Can’t wait!
P.S. what does a class 6 tank look like? I’ve been pondering it for a while, and I need to see an actual class 6 tank for me to believe in them.
Looks awesome!
wow. thats very fast. i was very amazed on the reaction speed. thank you for the update.
phew, when you said the money we receive, i thought we’d have to pay for ec, but then i thought, hey, they’ve never done that b4
YAY an update!!!!!!!
would there be a way to cheat any weapon class for any tank class?
just a shot in the dark there.
Nice job guys! And no unlimited bubble modes; they ruin the experience.
Keep up the good work!
p.s. Hopefully it won’t be another year and a half till bt3.
whenever i see the site, and BTA isn’t done, i find myself in a state of severe frustration, but i never really mean it, its just that it’s been like two years (or so) since this was announced, and im getting REALLY CRANKY!!
OOH!!
i got another great idea for a custom armorgames logo, do like a tank that looks like a shield for the shield, and do like really long guns for the swords.
it seems kinda weird, thinking about it, but it might look cool.
you guys should do that more often.
@Nadmar, there will most likely be no cheats, but hacks are inevitable.
Q: i know this is off topic but will there be a tank creator in BT3?
man next time you guys should wait till close to finishing before you announce game so you don’t get so many whiners
What about the weapon firing system? Will it still be just primary (leftclick) and secondary (space), or will you be able to assign keys for each weapon?
@moocowsgomoo:
I remember them saying that game controls would be the same as BT2.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE UPDATE THANK YOU you guys must be VERY close to making being done and i CANT WAIT thanks so much for the frequent update it makes me feel better even though its not out yet
1.Can we create an enemy tank and convert it into our avatar tank?
2.Can we have the same enemy tank and avatar tank?
Hope it comes out soon, it looks AWESOME
@wei2912: 1) No. 2) No.
Enemies have some different parts that are not available to Avatars and vice versa.
Will the disassemble ability be available to any lower-class tank? or is it only for some special “sniper” class? or did you guys remove it completely?
I guess another more general question:
are you guys taking out any abilities or guns from the previous games?
well i wasn’t expecting an update that fast (and on my birthday to, how nice) hope everything is going well for all of you (who knows maybe i will get to play BTA as a late B-Day present)
also a slightly off topic question for jared
when you posted your name is gray but if i link my name to a site it’s black and when i don’t it’s blue (i guess my question realy is why is your name gray)
Q:Why bubbles are red in this one? :O
Looks like the game is coming along very nicely.
@The one, that is simply how the forum designates a name with an attached link. If you click the link of another non-moderator, it will become black and underlined. This is simply how the blog was programmed. This blog is powered by WordPress, Hero Interactive simply uses it as an engine for the site. Wordpress is completely free, all you need is a Web host. If you wish to know more, this link should take you there–>
Wordpress
At least, I hope so! My HTML is a little scratchy b/c i’ve been focusing on learning basic.
YAY two updates within 2 weeks!!! Hope for more soon!!
awesome work guys, it looks like process is really moving up now, Jared i wanted to ask you. if i create a tank and get the tank code but for some reason (like a black out or an error) the computor dosent save the tank can i still use the tank just by putting the tank code?
I know you asked for no release date questions, but… er… Can you give us a release month?:)
Um…are you serious?
Matthew… just stop talking (typing, posting whatever)
anyway i was thinking it would be a cool idea if you guys made a blog where people could post their best tank codes with descriptions of their tanks.
um… ok one last question have you decided what the extra content is? if you have can you tell us, im really curious if its different tank parts or not
At least a release year?
omg i cant wait!!!!! just LOVE what bta is turning out 2 b! keep up the AWESOME work!!
Hey, quick question. Will there be a monthly/semi-monthly Bubble Tanks Arena challenge. Similar to the ones you have done with StarShine 2.
Another question, if you don’t mind.
When you create your enemy tank, will be be able to play as it? You know, just to try it out?
My apologies if this question’s been asked before.
@vulcanboom:
with regard to you tank code question, yes, you can still recover your tank. the tank code is a specific code that tells the game exactly what parts you had, and where you had them. it effectively is the data that makes up your tank.
also, @imath:
That sounds like a great idea! like, maybe some sort of monthly challenge arena.
Sorry for the double-post chaps, but something’s been bugging me A LOT lately.
In shape terms(not firepower terms), how can you possibly tell the difference between a 3-shot parallel and a triple machine gun; a 2-shot parallel and a dual machine gun? Oooh, it just irritates me!
Other than that, this gaming is shaping up to be truly amazing. Keep up the good work!
Ooh! I got an idea! Here…it…comes!
In the corner, there should be 3 boxes. Next to one box would be the word “teleport”. Next another would be the word “shield”. Next to the third one would be the word “disassemble”.
Now, in order to click and check in these boxes, you’d have to be willing to pay the moolah for it.
Also, these boxes can have class-size restrictions: i.e. you must be class 3 or lower to check in the “disassemble” box.
Hope you like my idea! Bye bye!
This is becoming the starcraft 2 of Herointeractive
I like Ebil!’s idea about checking boxes for those abilities. It’s good, infact, it’s very good.
lol. I need to know if the extra content let’s u in to special guns. Like in non extra there’s machine gun,dual machine gun,triple machine gun, and in extra content there’s quadruple machine gun and 360 machine gun. Let me know!
That’s all.
is there ganna be a sandbox mode
If some one were to build a bubble tank enemy, just like there avitar. Then place it and (only it) in an arena, then you would be able to fight them though indirectly. Also i dont know if this has been answered but, will there be different sizes for the individual bubble feilds. ex: bubble tanks 2 had hundreds of feilds but they were all the same size.. looking foward to this game as am looking foward to all the hero interactive new releases, by the way keep up the good work.
I had a suggestion hwo about adding a custom weapon creator(i’m pretty sure it not there) that allow u to make custom guns,only 1 custom gun shud be allowed on a tank.
I thought of this cuz in bttd if u mixed a mega area burst tower in a mega mega tower the tower did both shot bubbles and did area burst damage,which was really awesome.So if the same type of thing was implemented in bta,it wud be loads more fun.
Jus’ ma thoughts.
chilax,just in BTA put the area burst and any shooting gun,and you will ahave who you want
weps ……….
doom cannon: hits 1 thing and it kills any small units highly attacks large
giga spray: the pierce bullet bomb of bt2 but sprays double the bullets and instant explode

PLESE COMMENT PLESE COMMENNT PLESE COMMENT PLESE COMMENT PLESE COMMENT PLESE COMMENT PLESE COMMENT PLESE COMMENT PLESE COMMENT COMMENT PLESE COMMENT
This is wonderful I didn’t expect an update so quickly I am very glad.
Can’t wait!
Freekill, you’ve just made my day.
Also, has no one read my above posts? They “may” contain marvelous ideas! That’s just not cricket, ehwot? Not that I mean to brag or anything, but… er… oh well, movin’ on, I guess.
I like Ebil’s idea back up there. Now why hadn’t I thought of that sooner? It’s so original, yet convenient!
THNKS 4 the update! Keep up the marvelous work!
This is getting better and better! Can’t wait!!
I am also curious if there will be secondary weapons/skills. However, I seriously doubt we would be able to use more than one at a time.
If I remember correctly, the extra content will include the ability to make your own enemies and arenas. I don’t think tank customization will be effected.
To the people posting their own weapon ideas: Sorry to burst your bubble (PUN), but most of your ideas are ridiculous and overpowered.
last comment (for now)
when it comes out im going to put like 5 massive canons on it i dont care how slow it goes
Freekill, they said they’re not working on more weapons. Also, you really don’t need to say the “super” stuff.
will there still be ultimate tanks?
2 days late again!!!
D:
@nemo,
they post because it is fun to come up with ideas (btw, great pun). and some wepons may only be included in the extra content version.
I like the idea about the smiley gun, and i know that they won’t be adding more guns, but they could add this as an add-on or something after the game had been released, and then give it as a normal strength gun that looks like smiley bullets, and you could get this by destroying enough bubble enemies or enough game time or something about like that.
BTA SOUNDS YUMMY!!
how about a…
Water gun
attack: n/a
special effect: shrinks the bubble around ware you hit (ex you shoot the edge of the bubble ((the arena)) a hole will appear deforming the bubble and if you shoot it in the middle the entire arena will shrink) if you destroy the bubble completely you will teleport to a random bubble around you.
rate of fire: vary, vary slow
travel speed of bullet: medium
size requirement: 5-6
so what do you think you like, dislike, don’t know? it doesn’t mater I’m just putting my ideas out there… ware ever “there” is but anyways do pleas tell me if you like it.
“Q: Will BTA have Extra Content?
A: Yes. Enemy and Arena creation are likely to be part of the Extra Content version. Please note: The money we receive from EC versions of our games is what is making BTA possible!”
Although Hero Interactive may include weapons in the EC version, I doubt it.
yippy
Yay update! Thanks, heroes for working so hard on this. Now, for epic randomness…
BANANAS!!!!
Yes my question was answered!!! I asked the first question here and they answered it, I feel special…. >.> Anyway I wasn’t expecting another update for like a month but a few days?
thanks goon ive been waiting 4 a comment its like peaple go by it (i dubt it coz its so big lol)
.and cerberus they might use them in bt3 and mainly we post gun idias just 4 the heck of it so ppl can look at it and goon what guns are the best out of my 28 weps p.s nemo your cinda right but what ya gunna do. goon do what i do when i get no comments copy and paste and add extras i did it go on the the last blog and there will be loads of my idias in diffrent posts all the same
uh oh: foward=back back=foward left=right right=left
wow…………
looks great!!
will there be prices for the best tank designs or something like that?
Will it be out at 2012?…
“Nemo

pleas, Plaes, PLAES post coment on this
wepen ideas:
snd. weps
invinsable:
able to be invinsable for 5 seconds

seekers that go and kill an enemie and take their bubbles from them and bring them back to you
auto laser canons:
auto cannons that shoot lasers
bubble stun gun:
a bubble that stuns your enemies win hit
missle:
like a seeker but much faster and powerful
flame throer (sorry misspelled that):
flames that shoot out of your tank that have alot of power
NNNEEEEDDDD BBBUUUUBBBBLLLLEEEEE TAAAAANNNKKKKSSS ARRREEENNNNAASSSS!!!
super cannon/OMGOSHOMFG Cannon.5 shot rapid fire spread super cannon that explodes , damaging all in bubble ,on impact
what about:
1.death gun 5,000 gun points, level 6 tanks and up.quadruple power and size than the biggest gun in bt2.10 minute wait.
2.hypno boss. 10,000 gun points. spawns the boss in bt2 to do your bidding.1 hour wait.
3. super point gun. 500 gun points.makes ten bubble nets in a row and shoots the sniper gun down the row. 1 minute wait.
4.washer machine. 250 gun points. shoots big bullets in each direction.(more direction than the spinnig gun in bt2). 30 second wait.
can any of these guns be used in bta 2?(or in bt3?)
How will the controls “be the same” if there are guns that don’t rotate? I’m kinda worried about the controls for those, since turning to fire was kinda horrible for me with the BFT
I got a question
With the classes do you unlock different stuff
e.g When you get to level 3 you unlock rortating guns. Do you unlock like new weapons and Secondary weapons? and Will there be auto guns like on the BFT’s from bubble tanks 2
p.s feel free to shorten that super long question
Oh geez, I hope the tanks have cupholders! XD
…and some fluffy pink pillows would be nice too.
… XD
Sorry for the triple post, chaps. I’m getting annoying, aren’t I?
But I have to say, I, quite frankly, found Ebil’s idea to be absolutely BRILLIANT! The boxes, the checking them, the paying for them, it al fits together so well!
On another topic, I will now speak like a man from the 1200(?)’s.
Ifith youith wantith toith talkith aboutith bananasith, orith anyith otherith gabbleith, youith willith getith moderatedith, andith youith willith truelyith beith inith “deep poo”, forith theyith haveith waysith ofith makingith postingith onlineith moreith difficultith forith spammersith, trollsith, andith otherith hooligansith.

p.s sorry if this post is to long
@freekill117,
no post is too long. If you went through some of the other blogs, you would know what long realy is.
dude that post is huge
Okay, time for me to throw another two cents in.
Personally, I think one secondary weapon per tank is enough. Having boxes that you can check off would work as long as only one box could be checked at a time. This is just my opinion. If anything, tanks should have no more than two secondary weapons.
@freekill
Your weapon ideas are either far too overpowered or don’t fit the bubble tank theme. Remember, better weapons will allow you to kill enemies quicker and easier. They won’t be one hit kills. No weapon on BTA should kill powerful enemies in one hit except maybe the huge cannon from BT2 (nearly impossible to AIM with).
Your shotgun idea already exists in BT2 and will already exist in this game. It’s not called a shotgun. Remember the weapons that shot 5 bullets that spread out in different directions? That’s basically a shot gun right there. If you are close to an enemy, more of those bullets will hit them. From far away, only one or two will hit the enemy.
Sorry to shoot down your ideas, but they are just too overpowered. Think outside the box, but don’t fall off the table. The mine spray idea wasn’t bad though. It would be nice to lay multiple mines. Everything else already exists under a different name or you took existing ideas and made them more powerful.
How about a weapon that after launching splits off into smaller bubbles in different directions (Think of the 8 directional keys, down, up, left, right, down left, down right, up left, up right.) which you will benefit more from than if just the initial shell hit. Though it would be effective against swarms, it would not be as effective against larger enemies.
Or maybe an extra secondary to the bubble tank which would over load the engine to give it a small burst of speed, though it can only go in the single direction your tank was facing before using the burst. It would make you sacrifice using weapons during the time it is activated but it can get you out of some situations quickly. To be fair, it would have a VERY slow recharge, but able to kill small or medium bubbles on contact but only go through larger ones dealing a minuscule amount of damage to them.
@andy12handy:
Your first idea sounds awfully like the mitosis seekers. Hmmm….
Your second idea, though, is good, but would most likely need to be adjusted, somewhat, to give it that “bubble tanks” feeling. You know what I’m saying, don’t you?
lol, the tanks SHOULD have cupholders and fuzzy pink pillows inside them. and maybe a cd player too, that would ROCK! and maybe you could download your music from your ipod or mp3 to play while your battling enemies. that would be too sweet.
what about the omgomgomg!all bubbletanks on screen are ether:
1.destroyed
2.hynotised
3.shrinked
4.50 persent grow
5.teleported to a different arena
6.eaten.(lol)
7.farted,poisened
cost 1000000 gun points
only used once per 3 levels
and one pretank.
the beginner tank in bt2
but with legs with auto
guns on each foot.
plus the btnator gun.
makes 3 copys of you
to be used as:
1.allys
2.shields
cost 10000 gun points.
p.s. please use these
in bta 2
p.s.s.i need to play bta!
p.s.s.s. transfixed tacos!
p.s.s.s.s.theres 5 p.s.’s
p.s.s.s.s.s. ihave the most p.s. es

p.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.bye
p.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s. -bervin
I say my ideas are:
Heavy Cannon: Big Tank Gun that deals quite a bit of damage, it also does have limited range, so close range combat is with this weapon.
Repeater: (Inspired by Plants vs. Zombies) bassically just a Tank Gun that shoots 2 shots at a time, useful against Medium Class Enemies due to Armor Piercing.
and
Solar Cannon: (Inspired by Storm Winds: The Lost Campaigns) Yellow-ish Tank Cannon that fires Solar Beams. VERY FRICKIN SLOW RECHARGE TIME. Very useful against ALL. Use ONLY as a last resort, otherwise, MASSIVE Energy usage causes LONG Stun, DO NOT USE AT START OF A MATCH.

can the next bta be upgrade/shooter game? like…. you can upgrade the bubbles for your tank to make your life bigger. and you can sell and buy bubbles? plus you would have to have at least the needed amount to upgrade?like…:
level 0 10 bubbles needed
level 1 20 bubbles needed
level 3 50 bubbles needed
level 4 150 bubbles needed
level 6 320 bubbles needed
level 7 500 bubbles needed
and so on……
also can the guns be bought and be upgraded, and….be level based? (following wont show all wepons but some):
basic:all levels
sniper:3 and under
super cannon: 5 and up
auto: 2 and up
chocolate! yummy!lol
quadruple mg:2-5
please use my suggestion!
‘Ooh! I got an idea! Here…it…comes!
In the corner, there should be 3 boxes. Next to one box would be the word “teleport”. Next another would be the word “shield”. Next to the third one would be the word “disassemble”.
Now, in order to click and check in these boxes, you’d have to be willing to pay the moolah for it.
Also, these boxes can have class-size restrictions: i.e. you must be class 3 or lower to check in the “disassemble” box.
Hope you like my idea! Bye bye!’
Ebil’s Post ^
If you actually read the the q a HI did say you WOULDN’T have to pay for anything on the EC… and HI would you mind if you could do some of us a favor by creating a bubble tanks weapon ideas thread or something? Im sure some of us bloggers would like that. I would appreciate it if you read my comment!
Thatguy, what I meant was, that you’d have to pay bubbles, not actual cash. That’d be just crazy.
hehe… kinda stupid question but can there be oval shaped bubbles? i drew the AWESOME tank ((and its stages) it was the sticky class) but it has oval bubble in it. =(
$-$
do ya want to know what would be funny as he err… something very fuunny? is if like once this project was done there would only be like four arenas. -_- (joke FAIL).
P.S. Jinx!
P.P.S. *runs away mad with fear as a huge horde of bta fans chase after, swearing death for jinxing their game*
P.P.P.S. (joke WIN) (?)
There should be obstacles in the arenas. Like a wall, or a horse
guys,remember that the game dont have only the tank editor,it will have a enemy and arena editor,so dont ask that game is too close to finish,that can take more few months
and be patient
Question: will the “chain” linker be available for avatar tanks? By that, I mean the path of bubbles that moved between the two parts of the heavy heavy heavy class of enemies in BT2. Are those in any way going to be put in BTA?
for all those people who are confused about EC being free take last stand 2 if you play it on kongregate it says “GO TO ARMOR GAMES FOR EXTRA CONTENT” or something like that and when you go and play it there its free thats what they mean by EC bring free
Question: When you finish an arena and you play it again will you still get points for it when you play it over and over again?
something that should be on bta2 is thous red shields
@meta knight g,
I agree. that would be awsome if you could link two large bubbles togeather by a moving chain.
Too many hyper children posting idiotic weapon ideas on here IMO. Can we get a release year please?
they arent going to make your weapons stop asking them for new weapons they arent gonna make them
Just thought of something, what if you designed an enemy tank just like your avatar tank, then the inability to use the avatar tanks wouldn’t matter.
I see that you guys are trying to get into some serious game making companies. Please, don’t stop making games for HI when you get the job[s]. Even with all the moaning, we really love the games you guys create and hope to see more. Particularly the bubble tank series.
GL for the interviews.
Enemies? wow interesting i would like a 10000 bubble enemy that is destroyed in one shot please.
Thanks for answering my questions, Jared.
i been away to long 3 updates have come out since i last came on
@DaconchofFury - Huh? We’re not trying to get into any companies…we ARE a company. We already have jobs!
I have a serious question. What program do you use for gaming???? please i need help.
Bervin, I dont even get what your saying.
Question: will we be able to put more than one special weapon type on our tanks? If so, then will we be able to wire each one to a specific key via the menu?
@mocichumy,
Im sure they use many programs to make the games, like Microsoft word, some from the adobe series, and probibly a custom program just for HI.
In addition to Speed Dude’s comment:
They most definitely use flash for something, whether it’s animation, coding, or creating artwork. Also like Speed Dude said, they might use Illustrator for vector artwork and Photoshop to edit or enhance it. But those are just possibilities, but I”m 86.89% sure that they use Adobe Flash, because how would it be a flash game without it?
131st comment!
@DaconchofFury, yeah, what if they are ofered to make like Assassins Creed 3
Ok, I’ve compiled all the data from reading all of the BTA posts(do my eyes look red to you?). I’ve done some mental calculations, including the speed of releasing a small game, such as THGFOLTG and Pixel, to an average HI game, such as Microbe Combat or Paint The Fence, to a big game, like BT2 and BTTD, and finally, to HUGE games, BTA being the only example here. Once I was done with the math mumbo-jumbo, I’ve come with a hypothesis(yay!). BTA SHOULD(that being the keyword here, beware!) be released within…
mid-late March(I hope)! Blimey!
i think it is at mid late march NEXT year.
I think it’ll be released mid-late march 2012
sorry cerberus. im guessing you are incorrect. by now it would be near the finished stage.
I want BTA! And here is a cool idea.
Fire Tank:
Rank:Secondary Weapon
Rank Needed:1
Description:Catches your tank on fire, makes you go EXTREMELY FAST, But will stop when you hit an enemy. If you hit a enemy with 3 or less bubbles in it, it will OHKO them, if not… well let’s say you lose 5 bubbles.
(I THINK THE RELEASE DATE WILL BE IN MAY BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN COMMENTS CLOSE)
how the heck can a BUBBLE catch on fire? (especially when the whole thing is most likely UNDER WATER)?
just wondering
Bubbles CAN be on fire.
For about 1.3111567302 milliseconds, that is.
I do like the idea of a shotgun… it fires a spray of small bullets and is slow to reload, fires with slower frequency. I suspect that this game is going to revolve around secondary, because there are going to be A LOT of guns, so you have to pick kicka** secondary.
Flammibility is the ability of a substace to burn in the precent of oxigen, if rapidly heated within a milisecond above the point of boiling the oxygen in side goes through a chemical reaction before popping, the same one that makes it pop, so technichly whenever a bubble pops it sets on fire, also certain radio wavelenths will burn water, and water mixed with any other liquid can burn, the water itself wont but the substance inside will if there is oxygen inside of the bubble; a methane bubble will explode (methane turns into a liquid at a certain temperature)
@Jared — Fair enough. But, when you DO post games on Kongregate, can you add achievements when they’re first up? I hate doing something awesome only to have to redo it for the achievement to register. This isn’t just criticism of you, not many people add achievements right away on Kongregate, but you guys could do your part. This is just a request, not criticism. I’m fine w/ waiting for games, but something like achievements shouldn’t require waiting.
Achievements aren’t up to us.
I’ve ventured into Kongregate a few times and let me tell you…
The owners of the games do not put achievements on their games themselves. They game they made has to be worthy of achievements. Graphics must be good, gameplay must be spot-on, and more.
On topic:
Will we get to play as the enemy tank we create?
Also, will we be able to place “conveyor bubbles”* on our tank?
* conveyor bubbles being those moving, conveyor-belt-style bubbles that can be found on Heavy Heavy Heavy tanks
why is everyone saying like its gonna come out in 2012 its not gonna make them work any faster its just annoying for them
@Goon You may use the enemy you create by doing both the same avatar tank and enemy tank. Conveyor bubbles? Only on enemies I’d say. And By the way, there is a way to get infinite GP and BP: download Cheat engine 5.5 then you can guess what to do: select the BP with it, for e.g. you write 15 on Cheat Engine as that is the BP, then press first scan. Then you take a bubble of size 2, the BP lowers to 13. You write on Cheat Engine 13 then press next scan. A single value will pop: the BP. You put it in the cheat box then change value to 99999999. Et-voilà! 99999999 BP! Same as Gp.
Alright, I know I said that you shouldn’t spam weapon ideas, but I’m just annoyed that most people are thinking of pointless ideas so heres some of my weapon ideas.
Explosion: Looks like the big yellow bubbles on the spawn carrier but it has a little bubble orbiting it. When you press spacebar, the big bubble will pop and blow every enemy away and they crash into the egde of the arena. When they crash, it deals a little damage.
Absorber: Push spacebar to put up a shield for 2 seconds. instead of bouncing off the shield or just disappearing, thte shield will absorb the bullets and when the two seconds are over, you shoot a bullet. The size, damage and speed of the bullet depends on how many enemy shots you absorbed.
Acid bubble: This is a primary weapon. It shoots a bubble the size of a heavy bubble. After it hits an enemy, it leaves a puddle of acid that deals damage over time to enemies that go on it. The acid puddle disappears after 2 seconds. 1 shot per second.
Boomerang: The name says it all.
Laser: primary weapon. You hold the mouse button to shoot a big laser thing. Deals damage over time.
Disarm: secondary weapon. You shoot something that looks like a small bubble tank into one enemy. It deals no damage but all of the enemy’s weapons disappear for 3 seconds. It’s like the stun thing in BT2, but it only affects one enemy, lasts longer and the enemy can still move.
Any chance of a new BTA video soon? Just throwing out there.
@goon: I already asked about the conveyor bubbles, and they haven’t responded. My guess is that they’ll let you put those on (class 5 or higher?) enemy tanks. This brings up the question, will there be class sizes for custom enemies?
@kratos: why on earth would you want to cheat? building up your own tank over time is awesome in its own sense, and is ruined by the fact that you would hack the system for 30 auto-turrets on your class 1 tank…
@cerberus: for the explosion idea, I’m not sure that’s how the arenas work. In my mind, it’s more like a single bubble with enemies in it, like the arena mode of bt2, except you can’t leave the bubble, and when you beat all the enemies, the next level of enemies appear. You can’t actually move from bubble to bubble, let alone move around outside of each bubble.
Well, if there’s class sizes for avatars, then there should obviously be class sizes for enemies, too.
Also, the conveyor idea is awesome, and they should really look into putting it in BTA.
And, cheating’s only fun AFTER you beat the un-hacked game. At least, that’s how it goes for me. But if you want to ruin your BTA experience, no one’s gonna stop ya, chap.
Lastly, when you die, what does your death look like? An explosion? A series of crazed laughter? A hypernova? Perhaps you can provide a small video of a dying avatar?
hmmmmm sounds good
plz make an auto machine gun ^-^ haha that would be cool ^-^
exept for the part where u say there aren´t gonna be new weapons..
I think a dying avatar tank would look just like a dying enemy tank. If that’s too plain for you, it could end up being like the death of the ultimate adversary- all the bubbles blink rapidly as the whole thing implodes on the center, then explodes. The size of the explosion would depend on what class you were when you died. Class 6 deaths would be epic.
Ok, here’s a hypothesis of dying in different classes. Feel free to judge me.
Class 1: just pops. Period. Yawn.
Class 2: Pops, and makes some kind of a scream.
Class 3: Catches on fire for a moment, pops, and screams.
Class 4: Catches on fire for a moment, makes a medium-sized explosion, and sounds like a cat with its tail getting stepped on.
Class 5: Catches on fire, explosion is so big that lightning comes out of it, scream is ear piercing and can make smaller children cry.
Class 6: Catches on blue fire, explosion is so enormous, that it creates a black hole complete with electricity, fireworks, and Oprah Winfrey; scream is so loud, that to humans, it is silent.
So if you want a bigger tank, try not to kill it.
^ above idea inspired by Meta Knight G’s post about different explosions for different classes
wait, why are you saying that there’ll be screams? I don’t really think that a bubble would scream as it pops… I guess I don’t really think of the tanks as creatures capable of screaming–more like microorganisms.
Also, I doubt lower-level computer systems would be able to support your idea of class 5 and 6 deaths. Shouldn’t this game be available to as many people as possible?
Question:Will you be able to make tanks as big as the Destroyer from BT2???
Just out of curiosity over the bubble popping and exploding talk, exactly how do you die? Do bubbles slowly pop away until you’re at the bare minimum and then you lose the match? Or is it just a life bar and when it hits zero the match is ended?
Due to the editor feature, you’re probably going to have HP(Health Points), instead of the traditional “losing bubbles as you get shot”.
And Meta Knight:
If Your Computer Can’t Take It, Don’t Play It.
-By the words of the Goon. Good day!
there will be are the weapons and abilities from bt2?….i hope that you still having the leecher tank abilities
I’m not sure about how we progress from class to class, or if we actually level up in-game. I doubt we do that, so reducing levels until back at level 1 and dying is out of the question. Since they were talking about armor, my guess is that we’ll just get a health bar that can be replenished by absorbing bubbles. So we probably won’t be picking up bubble tokens in-game, because only health bubbles will come from a popped enemy. As for bubble coins, I think we earn those at the end of the round, like a score. Or maybe bubble tokens are the same as health, kinda like in bt2
Dunno. We’ll just have to wait ’till the game comes out to know for sure.
@goon: I’m not complaining that I won’t be able to play it, I’m just sayin’ that those that DO have low-end computers might start flaming these threads.
I asked this question a while back.
Will we be able to put emotions on our tanks? You know, happy face, angry face, and even a moustache?
Hehe, a moustache. Where do I come up with this stuff?
This game, BTA, took:
Over 1/4 of the time it took to finish the Civil War.
Over 1/11 the time it took to build the Panama Canal.
Over 1/14 the time I was alive on this planet.
Over 1/200 since horseless carts first appeared.
Over 1/300 of U.S.A.’s age.
Over 1/3000 the time it took for the Byzantine Empire to fall…I think. Gonna have to look that one up.
Over 1/10,000 the time it took for man to discover fire.
Over 1/185,000,000 the time it took for the Dinosaur Age to end.
Over 1/2,000,000,000 the time it took for mammals to appear since Earth’s birth.
Over 1/13,000,000,000 the time it took for water to appear since the Big Bang.
Over 1/16,000,000,000 of the Universe’s age.
Hurts, don’t it? *convulses into pure, unadulterated laughter* XD
@Goon HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE SO FREAKING RIGHT its been a while since i came here and i got my hopes up for a WTF lol random comment suspended
Jizz Goon. The last 2-4 facts were so untrue. Bible says it all… The Bible says it all… But I know this is a religious debate site so lets think of things regarding BTA… Like… Will there be a story line?
boooooooooooooooooringgggggggggggggg
aww now come on that’s just tight PIKACHU.
That time table post just made my life.
Alternately, you were asking about adding emotes. I doubt they’ll actually add something like that, but you could always just arrange a few bubbles so that it looks like a face…
Also, a simple question for the developers: how many gun points is a single small auto-turret worth?
my sisters birth day is on the 17th of this month
when is the new up/date
huhu date i want 1
but sersly when is the new update
boring = waiting time k
so when is it coming out?
iMath
Well, how was I supposed to know that my fun facts -which are absolutely proven through years of studying, experimenting, and sciency science- would get thrashed in the face by the word of a 2000-year old book? Hmmm???
But let’s not cause a firestorm over the Universe. ‘Cause it doesn’t matter who’s right. The Universe is just there. Period.
Now, back on-topic. Do all the bubbles on my bubble tank have to be, in some way, connected, or can it “float” by itself, enabling me to build some kind of armada without using the ally rally?
Meta knight, I never said that they go outside of the bubble. I said they crash onto the edge of it.
I’m really trying not to retaliate, but I think I can hold in…
Wait a moment,if you get bubbles and GP from enemies then you could make weak 1 hit kill enemies that gave you 1000 or so bubbles on the Extra content version.
Just a point.
Sorry i can’t wait to ask this question. Will you be able to choose how much an enemy is worth in bubbles?
The amount of bubbles dropped is most likely NOT going to be user-chosen. The bubble amount dropped is probably going to be based on how big your enemy is, and how many weapons it has, and so on…
And iMath, what do you mean by “retaliate”? :s
Lastly, this is for HI members. What hours do you work? I know you work full-time, which I appreciate, but what hours, so that I know when you guys are active, and can answer comments and post blogs, and such and such. I already know the time zones, ’cause when it’s 12:00 here in Cali’, then it’s 3:00 in Michigan. If you don’t want to answer this question, that’s fine. But I would appreciate it if you did. It’d reassure me.
Good day, you cheeky tea-bags.
O MY FN G!!!!!!!!!

@goon:
about the “floating” separate bubble parts of a tank, I think a weapon has to be on a bubble, but not all of the bubbles have to be connected. Example: http://www.herointeractive.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/bta_editor_screenshot_1.jpg
@kassad: is that sarcasm, or do I need to get out the noob repellent?
Jeez, have you been trippin’ on acid Kassad or are you just trying to act like most of the people in the world?
@Kassad,
If you had a top end computer, then you computer would not ooberly sloooooooooooow down.
@meta knight g,
If you need any, I have a gallon of the stuff that would repell he or she sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo far away, It makes andromeda look like across the street.
@andy 12 handy,
no, he is on nitrus-oxide plus helium.
p.s kassad:Falloo de yeloz brikk roooooddz!(refference from the little munchkins with the TINY voices)
Meta Knight: thanks for clearing that up.
Kassad: please take one Chill Pill as prescribed by your doctor. If it has been over 24 hours since your last Chill Pill, take 3, or 4, or heck, WHY NOT TAKE ‘EM ALL?! Oops. Forgot about MY Chill Pills. Hehe. *takes Chill Pill* Now, when taking a Chill Pill, do not go over the prescribed limit, or you may end up like 95.783% of dead celebrities. *wink wink*
Side effects may include nausea, gas, bloating, diahrrea, blood-shot eyes, rainbow feces, Bubble Tank dreams, uncontrollable laughter, projectile vomiting, dizziness, cold and hot sweats, black phlegm, more skids in your underwear than a getaway car, suicidal thoughts, short-term memory loss, brain goop coming out of ears, pus that tastes like cheese, and last but not least, loss of tounge.
Also(I’m really getting annoying, aren’t I?), I’ve a question that I’ve asked before, but no one answered me, so I feel I should throw it out into the open again.
When you look at the two-shot parallel and the dual MG, you’ll see that they look(this word is the keyword here) alike. When looking at a BTA screenshot, how in the chimp’s patoot are you going to be able to tell the difference between these two weapons? How, I tell you? HOW?! Oops. *takes Chill Pill*
This question also applies to the 3-shot parallel and the triple MG.
The game shall and will be released in 42. D:
Just wondering, is this the next HI game coming out, or is Stormwinds: MRC coming out before, or is there a completely unannounced game?
In addition to Jima, are you planning on announcing a new game? Or will you be mostly concentrated on BTA and partly SW.
@goon: about the parallel/dual MG, I’ll look in to that. I doubt there’s a difference, physically.
On a side note, in the BTA custom tank youtube video
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS95fZCUW44)
if you pause at the right time as the mouse goes over them, you can read the descriptions for a few of the weapons. For some reason, the descriptions remind me of apples to apples…
(this has nothing to do with parallel/MG)
@Meta Knight:
1. I’ve looked at both weapons. The only differences are the names and the way they shoot. It’s a minor problem, but I’ll get over it. It’s just that I wanted to get it off my chest.
2. Yes, I’ve also “read” the descriptions. And I was happy to see that they used my Ally Rally idea!
Also, I like the weapons’ descriptions. They’re original. They’re hard to read, but I get some of the words. Maybe if I put my glasses on. *puts them on* Much better!
…We’re cheaters.
and about me saying earlier that weapons need to be on a bubble, I think I can say otherwise. Only PRIMARY weapons need to be on a bubble, so that they have something on which to rotate when class 5 or higher. For SECONDARY weapons, just take a look at the drone tank in BT2 to see why I changed my mind.
It looks grate, will you upload some “tanks edotors” before you will relase BTA?
Calm down! Your questions may not be answered right away. They might not be answered at all.
“When you look at the two-shot parallel and the dual MG, you’ll see that they look(this word is the keyword here) alike. When looking at a BTA screenshot, how in the chimp’s patoot are you going to be able to tell the difference between these two weapons? How, I tell you? HOW?! Oops. *takes Chill Pill*”
How do you know that they look the same? Please provide links to where you see both weapons and to where they look the same.
If they do look the same, then the difference will be in cost and performance.
Calm down and don’t worry about it.
I’m not arguing here or anything, but I think goon was just trying to be funnily impatient in the way he phrased his question. Also, if you’ll take a look at:
http://www.herointeractive.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bta-load.jpg
you can’t see the names of the weapons. How, then, will we be able to tell what kind of weapon we’ll get while we search? This is purely rhetorical; I don’t plan on searching for tanks with either parallels or dual MGs in BTA.
A good idea for any future Bubble Tank game, such as BTA would a radar/sonar to keep track of enemy bubble tanks, thus allowing you to hunt them down quicker and save you time. This feature, allow it could decrease the challenge of the game, it could, in theory, be useful in an extremely large bubble field. Extreme, as in a bubble field 20 time the size of a single BT2 bubblefield.
wep. ideas
laser
highly powerful beam
flame througher
giant flame that is extreamly powerful
big machine gun
a big gun that has a fast RPM
nuke
destroys everything in the arena
radar
it will tell you whats in the next arena
mega stun burst
stuns everything in arena
@above: most of your ideas consist mainly of overpoweredness, doing lots of damage or hitting everything in the arena. The one idea that I DO like is the radar, but it seems a bit too “one-time use”-ish to be useful.
Okay, I’m starting to do what I did with brawl custom maps: draw a few things that I’d actually make when the game came out. The maps that I drew BEFORE brawl came out turned out to be some of my best custom maps.
-First, let me say that I made a few assumptions. First, I assume that there isn’t a limit to how many of each weapon you can have.
-Second, I assume that the developers haven’t changed any gun costs or class (GP) limits since they posted the youtube video and the latest tank editor screenshot.
-Third, I assume that sm. autos cost 1 GP; this came from a few calculations from the Super Heavy from BT2:
The Super Heavy can have 20 GP total. the massive cannon costs 8, each heavy cannon costs 2, and the bubble buster costs 2 as well. With these, there are still 6 GP left over, and there are 6 autos. so, each auto is 1 GP.
*Whew* sorry about that. Just had to clear a few things up, so that this tank doesn’t seem overpowered.
Drawing data:
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj94/MechaKnight/BTA tanks/Hurricane.png
Whaddya think of it?
I, Meta Knight G, claim rights to this tank.
I hope this post starts a trend of other people pre-drawing their own tanks, so that this forum/thing can become more than a ground for spamming “when’s it coming out?”
Gah. The link broke. Here’s the real one:
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj94/MechaKnight/BTA tanks/Hurricane.png
sorry for triple-posting
I see. The URL isn’t carrying over to the next line. You gotta copy and paste the URL into the address bar.
(I apologize deeply for quadruple-posting)
@meta knight g,
Your link is still broken. try usin a print screen and putting it on a comment or on photo bucket. Or if you have your own website, put it on there and give us the link to it.
lemme try this:
Hurricane
nice ideia,i have to]o many ideas but i dont know draw of the mdoe that you made,and the hurricane cannot have a big stun burst o]r a heavy cannon o nthe center?
Short answer: I can’t.
I was considering putting a large sticky burst in the center in earlier versions, but that didn’t work out.
I wanted to keep all 12 autos, so I had 8 GPs to play around with. I also wanted the whole thing to have rotational symmetry. According to screen shots and the video, large sticky bursts, heavy cannons, and stun bursts all cost 2 GP, so if I put one of those in the middle, then I’d have 6 GP left over. I didn’t want to use 6 1 GP basic cannons (there are already 12 autos). The only gun I know to be 3 GP is the pierce cannon, and I think that’s limited to lower-level tanks, so I can’t put 2 of those. So, I’m limited to 2-GP guns surrounding your suggested central gun. Since I only have 6 GP, then I’d only be able to put 3 guns, and 3 guns cannot be evenly distributed around a tank that has 4 points of rotational symmetry. Thus, I can’t have a center cannon without disturbing the rotational symmetry of the whole thing.
So, I decided to ditch the center weapon in favor of 4 2-GP guns around the center. I wanted the tank to only fire small bullets (giving the appearance and feeling of a bunch of raindrops), so big cannons were out of the question.
Other 2-GP guns include exploding pierce and 2-shot parallel, but exploding pierce is limited to small tanks, and I didn’t want the 2-shots because they fire 2 bullets clumped together, but I wanted all the bullets to scatter evenly, with no two bullets staying side-by-side. I also ruled out using 4 secondary weapons because I wanted the tank to actually have some type of controllable primary fire.
The only 2-GP gun that followed my patterns was the 3-spread. They are also good for this tank because they scatter, giving the enemy fewer escape routes, and it again gives the appearance of rain.
I can’t add any more guns now because I ran out of gun points. According to the video, a class 6 tank gets 20 gun points, so I can’t go over that.
Understand?
@Meta Knight, nice tank! What did you use to make it? I have some ideas of my own.
I used microsoft word 2010 beta. Paint’s too difficult to move things around. The only drawback to word is that it’s hard to make perfect circles.
I’m currently constructing every weapon in word, then I’ll post a link here as a .png
…and @goon, I found a difference between a 2 parallel and a dual MG: 2 parallel has 2 bubbles on the back, a dual MG has three. You’ll see once I get my weapon list up.
when you make bt3, will you update this for new weapons?
How exactly do you get the beta?
Couldn’t find any difference between the 3 parallel and the 3-shot MG, but I finished a catalog of all the BT2 primary weapons: click here
The black background might be a bit of a hassle when trying to paste onto a red tank, though. If anyone tells me how to upload word documents, I can give you guys the word doc, where the background non-weapon part of the shape comes up transparent.
Looks good, Meta Knight!
Posting a list of ALL the weapons? Good luck with that! O_O’
Also, I would absolutely LOVE to see a new, up-to-date BTA video. It’d restore hope by 30.562 1/2% I don’t know about you, but it’s got me SO ANXIOUS! WAY… TO… ANXIOUS!!! NEEEED BUBBLE TANKS ARENAS!!!!! BLARRGGHH!!!!! *smashes anything and everything…!* *SWAT team comes into Goon’s house, tranquilizes him, and puts him in a “night-night” cell* “Wait! Officers, you forgot to bring my Chill Pills with you! Oh no, not agai-BLARRRRRGH!”
On a non-tranquilizing note, I can’t wait for BTA to be finished, so I can make the fastest fighter in the known bubble universe!
I hope you will finish it very very very very very very soon.
P.S. is there a release date yet
good luck on creating bta
@goon: what would that “fastest fighter” look like? what weapons would you put on it?
For now, I’m just gonna dump the links for my drawn weapons here:
Primary weapons
Secondary weapons
They took about 2 hours total to make; sorry if the heavy cannon and bullet buster seem too big.
on a note completly irrelevant to this site, Happy Valentine’s Day!
Sorry for that late reply steph, this:
# Jared’s making a presentation to the Spartasoft group at Michigan State University this weekend! Good luck and have fun! 9 days ago
Made me thought something about new jobs. o.0 obvious I interpreted it wrong. xD
@meta knight g,
Your photobucket site gave my computer a few viruses. luckely i got rid of them.
imma charin mah bubblz!
whoops. I didn’t know photobucket handed out free viruses. Those are probably just from the ads and such. Also, what web browser do you use? if you use internet explorer, then I’d suggest switching. IE automatically downloads programs and such from a site. This includes viruses.
Just made two new tanks. Saving a catalog of every weapon sure can be useful sometimes.
BFT Silo
BFT Seeker
I made a few more assumptions, based off of estimations and loose calculations of BT2 tanks:
-Regular seeker ports cost 1 GP
-Orbital seeker ports cost 2 GP
-Doomsday infect ports cost 2 GP
-Mitosis seeker ports cost 4 GP
-None of the above mentioned ports have upper-level boundaries (e.g. they can all be placed on class 6 tanks)
Tell me what you think!
Another class 6 auto-turret-based tank, for the lazier peoples. I’m attracted to lots of weaponry.
BFT Targeter
Another assumption: Leeching bullet cannons cost 4 GP and can be placed on class 6 tanks.
Odd. If I put 2 or more links in one post, then it stays saying “Your comment is awaiting moderation” indefinitely, but if I only put one link in, it doesn’t need to be moderated. I will now proceed to post links one at a time with their corresponding text and assumptions, so that they’ll actually show up.
A catalog of all of the primary weapons, drawn by me, in microsoft word 2010 beta, just like all my other drawings.
Primary Weapons
A catalog of all of the secondary weapons, drawn by me.
Secondary Weapons
Hurricane is already in above posts, so I’ll skip that.
BFT Silo
New assumption: regular seeker ports cost 1 GP each, and can be put on class 6 tanks.
BFT Seeker
New assumptions:
-Orbital seeker ports cost 2 GP
-Doomsday infect ports cost 2 GP
-Mitosis seeker ports cost 4 GP
-The above three ports can all be placed on class 6 tanks
That’s all for now. Tell me what you think. I know, they’re all class 6, but I like to experiment with lots of weapons, and 20 GP gives me just the opportunity to do so.
Sorry for posting 8 times in a row(octuple?), not including the one waiting to be moderated.
I know you must pay employee’s to work but why can’t u make multiplayer? Just copy a script or something… I don’t know I thought the whole time the game would be multyplayer.
Perhaps add a bubble laser that instantly hits an enemy and pierces through there armor so if its a spot full of bubbles it does maximum damage.
will you be able to talk to other tanks in the game?
It’s not a multiplayer game or anything, and programmed AI’s don’t do a very good job at open conversation… so I doubt you can talk to other tanks.
From and including: Thursday, November 13, 2008 (the day BTA was announced)
To and including: Sunday, February 14, 2010
It has been 459 days from the start date to the end date, end date included
Or 1 year, 3 months, 2 days including the end date
(My name links to the site were this information was gathered)
@the one HAHAHAHAHAHA nice HI just got burned 1 YEAR FOR A FLASH GAME!!!
P.S. PLUM D. HERMITAR 3 X FAST
@meta knight g,
I did not know you could do eight posts in a row. And for your designing bubble tanks, try using adobe illustrator. Also, I downloaded Mozilla firefox, andnothing popped up like it did before. so I guess there are not any trojan viruses like last time.
@eaglesfate3,
There has been a discussion about this before. Even though it is a flash game, they are developing a game where you can make your own tanks.
@
Hey all!
This is actually my first post ever, so DON’T judge me!
(By that i mean Goon, do NOT forget to take your Chill Pills when replying to my posts because you’re probably just going to go into one of your “epic” rants of what happens when you post a reply. I’m just kidding! I love those things! They make my day!)
(But really, don’t forget to take your Chill Pills)
Anyways, i have a few things to say to some posters here:
@Meta Knight G
I really liked your designs! Especially the Hurricane. Hurricane was genius! But i think that your BFT Silo and your BFT Seeker were a little too “plain”. They didn’t look too interseting like the Hurricane did. On the otherhand, your BFT Targeter(why 3/4 of all of your tanks’ names start with “BFT”?) was also pretty interesting, but WAY too overpowered in sm. automatics. I can see you really like the idea of sitting in front of your computer, not having to click a key at all but you’re still able to kill enemies. I respect that, but take a look at all of the other tanks from BT2. They’re old school and are based around one base idea, like being a fighter, being nearly indestructable, etc. I still liked your ideas though! Thanks for posting them. You could have just started an awesome time-killing hobby for all of these anxious Bubble Tanks lovers!
Also, Meta Knight, could you teach me how to upload pictures? You know, this is my firat time and I still want to get a jump-start at Hero Interactive (You guys are my heroes by the way!).
@Goon
Again, I love your silly posts. Where do you come up with insane ideas like those? It’s such a tragedy that i can’t think up things like you. It’s such a tragedy. *sniffle* ;_( It’s a tragedy like Hamlet. I mean, just about ALL of the main characters died by the end of it. What is it? Iraq? I’ve never even cared to learn about the play, but I’m just assuming that they were all nuked. What do you think Goon? Also, where do you get your Chill Pills? I think my sister needs a few because she is ANNOYING!
@All of you Weapon Ideas Posters
I’m sorry to tell you this guys, but look at Meta Knight G’s link (the Primary and Secondary Weapons links). Period-period-period…………..
All of the weapons are already made. I know, it’s a tragedy(like Hamlet-yadayadayada-Iraq-yadayadayada-nuked-yadayadayada-Chill Pills-yadayadayada ANNOYING!). I’m not trying to burst you’re bubbles (I stiil love that pun Nemo!), but i really just don’t think that any other ideas you post will get into the game…. *Civil music in background starts*
BUT WHO’S STOPPING YOU?! It’s a great time-killing hobby, like making tanks, so their’s nothing wrong with it! GO AHEAD! *Civil music ends*
I should make speeches more like these at my “No-Bama” campaigns!
@”2 Shot Machine Gun = 2 Shot Parallel?” Debate
II looked it over and it turns out that there IS a difference besides looks. I played BT2 again and found something VERY shocking: They ARE the same in appearance, but their performance is VERY different. The 2 Shot Parallel actually has about 2/5 the fire rate of a 2 Shot MG. If you guys don’t belive me, check this out (you have to copy and paste URL, I don’t know how to make links here yet):
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i38.tinypic.com/2h2kt29.jpg&imgrefurl=http://armorgames.com/community/thread/1401091/bubble-tanks-2-tank-guide&usg=__n4xFy5rYeV7_upv4x-4ey9dbct8=&h=101&w=101&sz=4&hl=en&start=7&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=rKUfu64oo6C_lM:&tbnh=83&tbnw=83&prev=/images?q=bubble+tanks+2+2+parallel&hl=en&rlz=1I7GGLL_en&um=1
I know, it’s REALLy long, but I don’t know how to make links. Once you’ve copid and pasted, find the following tanks: Balanced #1 and Fighting #4. Balanced #1 has the 2 Shot Parallel and Fighting #4 has the 2 Shot MG. If you want to take them out for a test run in BT2, you need to work your way to unlocking them. Then just try them out in the Arena Mode. The 2 Shot MG is a LOT faster than the 2 Shot Parallel!
and last but not least,
@Everyone
Sorry for the super long post, but I have to keep myself up to date with the blog, am I right?
Keep on posting, hope you all had a wonderful Valantine’s Day, keep up the excellent work Hero Interactive, and GO BUBBLE TANKS!
That’s all.
Epic Takedown 2010
P.S.- if anyone wants to reply to me, they can abbreviate my name as “Takedown”. I’m okay with abbreviations.
Oh, that’s how you make a link! Never mind!
I have a couple of questions, PLEASE anwser them.
1:Do you also need to unlock weapons?
2:Can you guys PLEASE release a beta version of the tank editor? I’m gonna burst if you don’t.
@Matthew10
1. Yes, but by class. So if you want something really good, your tank has to be a higher class in order to get it.
2. No, they’re NOT going to realease any beta of some sort, even if it’s just the tank editor. It would take WAY too long to separate it from the game and make it an actual beta. Plus, if you really want to “make” tanks, do what Meta Knight G is doing- draw them! Or make them on a computer, either one works.
P.S. I had a few typo’s in my first post, like firat = first, copid = copied.
Uh oh, i accidentally put in the wrong email for my past posts! Can I make it my correct one and nothing bad will happen? PLEASE DON’T KILL ME HI!!! I’M TOO YOUNG TO DIE! I’M ONLY AN ADOLESCENT!
Maybe add a force field like in BT1.
@commanderm
force field in BT1 was part of your tank, in BT2 was shield as primary weapon, but didn’t have any special part (yelow bubbles) so i don’t know will be any forcefield/shields in BTA.
@Takedown
we know that will not be any new weapons, but it’s good to imagine nev weapons to BT. Maeby it will be used in BT3?
whye they will not relase any beta editor? They’ve made movie, contest, screenshots about editor, so whye they will not upload that editor if it looks like allready done?
@Takedown,
The e-mail is just so they can track you down if they reject or delete your post.
@ptk7,
They will not release any beta because it would take even more time. It is much easier to release the entire thing at once. They said that in one of their other posts.
Weapons ideas:
1. Virus - enemie will be shoting the nearest tank for a few seconds
2. black hole - generates a hole witch will pull any shoot, rocket in range
3. remote burst bomb (C4) - first click drops bomb, second click detonates bomb
4. Tactical Nuke - slow bullet, that will explode on primary weapon button or when rach end of bubblefield. Explode range is same like in stun burst (but does masive damage), and leaves dangerious field, that will be makeing damages to every tank witch want to went through it (even your tank).
Ps.: sorry if my english is bad.
@Meta Knight:
Sorry it took me so long to reply, but hey, better late than never, I suppose.
I’ve seen your tank ideas, and I have to say, they are truly AMAZING! And you asked for my fighter idea? Sure thing.
Has 1 medium bubble in the middle. There’s a single, small bubble on the top-right space of the bubble, the lower-right space, and the “front” of the bubble. So now, the tank looks like a machine gun, which represents the Fighters’ favorite weapon. On the two rear bubbles, I’d put 1 Orbital Seeker for each. On the front bubble, I’d put a Starburst Cannon. On the main part of the tank, I’d put a Super Machine Gun.
Name: Millifighter
Class: 1 or 2
Bubbles used: ___/100?
GP used: ???/5 or 10…?
Primary Weapon: Super MG
Secondary Weapons: 2 Orbital Seekers, 1 Starbust Cannon
Now, when I said it’s be the fastest fighter ever, I probably overstepped that. It’d be fast, don’t get me wrong. But, it needs SOME armor. Also, the info presented above may or may not be correct. If not correct, please explain.
Meta Knight, do you think you’d be able to make this tank if possible? I’d greatly appreciate it!
@Takedown: I get the Chill Pills from the Mack Blarket.
(Foonerisms are Spun!
)
Also, Meta Knight:
Not meaning to be rude, or nitpicky, but this concerns your primary weapons catalog.
Remember, you can choose to ignore this if you want.
You sure you want to read it?
Are you sure?
You’re really sure?
Seriously?
Are you positive?
Do you know that I’m warning you?
Do you?
Surely?
Are you absolutely sure?
Are you surely sure?
Last chance…Are you sure?
Okay, here it goes…
Right now…
It’s coming…
I can’t stop it…
It’s too late…
No going back…
I warned you…
Get ready…
You made the 2-shot Parallel as having 2 rear bubbles. But, it’s supposed to have 3 rear bubbles, meaning that it has a faster fire rate than the Basic Cannon. The two rear bubbles means that it’s heavy, not fast. Sorry to be a nitpicker, but I warned you.
Good day!
@Goon
I just explained that in my first post! Remember the “2 Shot Machine Gun = 2 Shot Parallel?” Debate i posted about?
Also, i agree with Goon’s idea, but i think that instead of a Super MG, it should have an Upgraded MG on each of the small bubbles, giving the traditional feeling of a real Air Force fighter plane.
But we all know that this isn’t the Air Force, it’s Bubble Tanks, so i really don’t care what classifies as a “fighter” in terms of bubbles.
Maybe a soap bubble, or a bubblegum bubble!
They both ascend like a plane.
But on the other hand, all bubbles do.
And this is Bubble >TANKS
@goon: that’s fine, I’ll just switch them around. I’m not using my home computer right now, so I’ll design your tank when I get home. Also, I’m gonna lay this down right now:
GPs are determined by class. For every class, there are 4 GPs, except class 6.
-Class 1 has 4 GPs
-Class 2 has 8
-Class 3 has 12
-Class 4 has 16
-Class 5 has 20
-Class 6 has 20
(the only difference b/w 5 and 6 is speed and armor)
Your tank has:
-Super machine gun (4 GP)
-Starburst cannon (3 GP)
if class 1, you’d be going over the limit already, and if class 2, you’d only have 1 GP left. I assume you’d want to keep this around classes 1 and 2, so which would you rather have? The starburst cannon, or the orbital seekers?
———————————-
@Epic Takedown:
Welcome to HI! Seeing as you use good grammar and offer useful ideas, I dub thee not a noob.
I agree, the Hurricane was an actual attempt at originality, but my other tanks were not meant to be creative; merely experiments with various weapon spamming combinations. They’re not meant to be creative or original. I plan on coming up with more actual tanks in the future. Thanks for the constructive criticism, though!
Also, I think we’ve established that the 2 shot parallel and the dual MG ARE different in appearance: one has three bubbles on the back, the other only has two. I think.
About uploading pictures:
(I’m gonna be very specific so that no one gets lost)
1. Have the desired object, window, etc. up on the screen that you want to take a screenshot of (e.g. bubble tanks 2).
2. On the upper-right corner of your keyboard, you should see a button that says “Print Screen/SysRq” or something along those lines. Maybe it says PrntScrn, but you know what I mean.
3. Press that key at the exact time you want to take the screenshot.
4. Open paint or some other picture editing tool
5. Press Ctrl V or right click and click “paste”
6. Drag the picture around and resize the borders so that only the thing that you want to show is, well, showing.
7. Click Save As, and under “save as type”, select PNG.
8. Save the file to anywhere on your hard drive, preferably one easy to access.
9. Go to photobucket.com and create an account
10. Go to your account, and click “upload images and videos”. This opens up your file list.
11. Find the picture you want to upload, select it, and click open.
12. When it’s done uploading, add a title if you want, and/or just click “save and return to albums”.
13. Move your mouse over the tiny image of your picture, and a little menu should drop down.
14. Move your mouse down and click on the “HTML Code” bar (the thing that says “a href=…”)
15. Press Ctrl C or right-click and select “copy”
16. paste it into one of these comments, then at the end, just before it says “/a”, between the two brackets, type what you want the link to say (e.g. “my tank”, or in my case, “hurricane”)
17. Submit comment!
Is that understandable?
@Meta Knight G
Thanks for the warm welcome! Thou appreciate that thou are not a royal nub! It’s good that there’s a welcoming for even the newest posters!
On the topic of the “2 Shot Machine Gun = 2 Shot Parallel?” Debate:
They may have changed them from when they were in BT2, but when they were in BT2, they WERE the same. You can check it out at the link i made in my first post. Don’t forget to look up the specific tanks i also mentioned! And yes, i’ve also tested them. The 2 Shot Parallel IS slower than the 2 Shot MG.
On the topic of uploading pictures:
Thanks for the information! Now i will rule the world by bugging up the internet with too many pictures of bubbles! BWAHAHAHA!
Maybe i can get some pictures up before this game actually comes out! I’m stacked on things to do! Thanks Meta Knight!
Ack, okay, let me change that. Hmmm…
Sine it doesn’t have to be symmetric, let me put it this way.
Top-right bubble: Basic Cannon
Lower-right bubble: Basic Cannon
Frontal bubble: 3-spread
Main Bubble: Super MG
If my calculamitizations are correct:
2 basic cannons: 2 GP
1 3-spread: 2 GP
1 Super MG: 4 GP
Grand total: 8 GP!
…now, obviously, it’s a class 2.
@Meta Knight G
so if i want tank class 1, could it be possible to have 4 seekers and 1 explosive piece shot?
Wait, scratch that “symmetric” part, ’cause it’s irrelevant to the post.
I think we’ve pretty much destroyed the debate over the dual MG and dual cannon, so we can drop it.
But, as the old debate dies, a new one arises!
Pardon my French, but HTF can you tell the difference(structure-wise) between Seekers, Mitosis Seekers, and Doomsday Infect? GAAAH! I JUST CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE! *grabs a Dual Large MG and fires* *feels something stab his bum; looks back to see a SWAT battalion, and sees something furry on one of his cheeks) “Oh no.” *plop*
*the National Institute of Super Sciency Science soon discovers that Chill Pills do not really calm consumers down, but instead gives them Hulk-like properties* The owner of the Chill Pills company, Dr. Cray Zee, was arrested 2 minutes later, and given the Death by His Own Product sentence. Heehee.
Goon was put into rehab for 5 months, until he burned down the rehabilitation center. Goon was forced to be put down…
…not. He recovered, and is once again his Goony self. That is, until the Chillax Lax bought over the Chill Pill. Poor Goon was so used to the bathroom, he remembered every little crack, tile, cloth, and spider web of the room.
On a happier note, I’ve got undercover SWAT units watching my every Chillax Lax intake. Protection is good, no?
@Goon
That’s actually a pretty good idea, and with only 8 GP, you would seem unstoppable even from the beginning!
On the other hand, i’m starting to see that you’re REALLY in love with your interlude stories. Almost every one of your posts includes one. Not to be rude, but instead to be informative: if i was a day closer to BTA’s release for every side story of your posts, it would be out… by Thursday. Don’t take that the wrong way! We all really love the side stories, right guys?
*all of the other BTA fans who like Goon cheer and clank beverages together in a toast*
*all people who think Goon is a “nub” gets kicked in the face and sent into the middle of a BTA arena*
*all of the tanks and enemies in the arena fire their guns at the Goon haters*
*a battalion of EPICLY large tanks fires a battalion’s worth of massive cannons simultaneously at the Goon haters*
*Takedown goes up to the last Goon hater standing and gives him a HUGE slap across the face*
*4 second pause*
*slaps the last Goon hater again*
*grins happily*
*straps B4(Bubble4) to the last Goon hater*
*drops the detonator in front of the guy*
*runs away before something bad happens*
*last Goon hater presses the button in shame of his previous actions and turns into a bubble*
*Takedown pops the bubble with a needle*
*the Bubble Police arrest him for bearing arms, illegal weapon use, and murder*
*bails himself out with 200 GP he got from the Mack Blarket*
*Wipes sweat from brow and sighs* WOW! Maybe i should just leave the side stories to you, Goon! “)
Well, I’m not going to be posting anymore today, but i just want to say that this is such a great place to be at! Glad i have such a great group of posters here at Hero Interactive!
Keep up the good work HI!
@goon:
about the tank’s bubble layout, are you laying it out do that it’s facing up? or facing right? I usually design mine so that they face right…
also, when you say super MG, do you mean an upgraded machine gun? or a dual MG?
@Takedown: Thanks! I usually do the side stories when I’m bored and have nothing better to do. Honestly, they just pop into my head, no bragging intended. Also, I just started posting about a couple weeks ago. And only 3 or 4 of those tons of posts have “stories”, but I like that you know I have a creative imagination.
@Meta Knight:
I made it to face rightwards. It just looks better that way. Didn’t you watch the video? The person in the video highlighted a Super Machine Gun; the picture looked EXACTLY like the “Upgraded Machine Gun” in BT2. But you probably already knew that…
Speaking of Upgraded, is the Upgraded Teleport from the Sniper #2 going to be implemented in the game? *evil grin* Dun dun DUNNNNNN…
Also, Takedown, I’m using a Wii to get online. Typing these stories is hard work!
Anyways…
Next time on Goon’s Wild Ride:
“H-h-honestly, officers! These 5,000 pounds of Chill PIlls literally p-p-poofed out of nowhe-*BURRRPP*…re. I’m innocent! You gotta trust *BURRRRPPP* me! Wait, what are you grabbing out of you pocket… N-n-no! NO! NOT THE STUN GUN! ACK! *zzzaaappp* OWWWIEE! Ohhhh….ow. Huh? Oh my. Oh lordy. Oh lordy, lordy. Not the dogs. Please tell me those aren’t K9’s. NO. NO! NOOO!” *shredding sounds*
Coming soon to a computer near you!
Brought to you by Chill Pills! The only pill to use when you need to sit down and shut up!
Please Chill responsibly.
Results may vary. Dun dun DUNNNN…
@goon:
finished the tank, but I don’t know the parameters or patterns set for bubble points; I’m just disregarding that stat for now, until more info is released on bubble points.
About your tank:
-Fast primary fire rate
-Good secondary weapon (starburst); useful for taking down lots of enemies
-VERY useful dual orbitals; spawns a total of 10 seekers orbiting your tank, these should form a formidable shield, blocking lots of incoming fire.
(seekers die when hit by enemy fire, but destroy the bullet in the process)
Millifighter
Is that good? or were you expecting something different?
That was the original one you asked for, but that one oversteps the GP boundary. The updated one will be up in a few.
Millifighter
This one’s the fixed version. I might try to make a hybrid later on. Those dual orbitals really inspired me.
@Meta Knight:
*screams like a giddy little school girl* I LOVE it! That’s exactly what it looks like! Thank you, it’s like Christmas all over again! EEEEEEK! Oops. *takes Chill Pill*
Also, I like the revised version better than the prototype, because the revision makes more sense. But the prototype is still good, if you want to keep it, and tweak it a bit.
I might make some more tank ideas in the future, but for now, I’ll just be grateful for Millifighter!
Although, I’ll share ONE more with you, just for fun, eh?
DREADNOUGHT

BP used: ???/200(?)
GP used: 20/20
Primary Weapons: 4 Sm. Auto., 1 Dual Large MG, 5 Blah3(just kidding
Secondary Weapons: 1 Massive Cannon, 1 Stun Burst
Body may be shaped any way user sees fit, although it’s supposed to resemble a boat, viewed top-down; if you choose to make it a “boat”, then the guns may be placed anywhere on the “boat” as the user, once again, sees fit.
BTW, I don’t know how much a Massive Cannon costs. Once I find the cost, the secondary weapons may or may not change.
If you don’t like the idea, please let me know! Your opinions count, peoplez!
Frack(pardon my French). The Massive Cannon’s 8 GP.
Back to the drawing board I go, eh what?
DREADNOUGHT
BP used: ???/100
GP used: 20/20
Speed: 5%

Primary Weapons: 2 Sm. Auto., 1 Dual Large MG
Secondary Weapons: Massive Cannon, Stun Burst
Description: A force to be reckoned with, the Dreadnought seeks to powerfully stun, and all but obliterate its prey, completely, and utterly, overwhelming it with its massive, 10,000-kilobubble glory! Hurrah! It’ll give those fat, gas-bubbles the Boot!
…too much?
And yes, it’s supposed to look like a boat, because Dreadnought, here, is of a naval descent. His great-grandpappy was a soap bubble, you know!
Remember, if this is a bad or good idea, tell me. Please! I enjoy your criticism…just be gentle though. My thyroid isn’t wait it used to be.
Also, if you think the sum of the weapon costs for Dreadnought are wrong, calculify again, good sir/madam!
2 Sm. Auto.: 1 GP each = 2 GP
Dual Large MG: 8 GP
Stun Burst: 2 GP
Massive Cannon: 8 GP
Do the math.
As I said above many a time, Dreadnought is obviously a boat. As such, the body should look like a boat, if you please. You get where I’m going with this, right? Of course you do!
Good day, for now!
Forgive my above posts if they sound needy or grumpy. The SWAT team took my Chill Pills for examination. They think it’s made of bubble tank extract. They can be so mean to us Goons. Hmph.
Anyways, good day(again)!
Do you know a release date yet plz tell my
are you almost finisht or can we wait another year?
plz tell me.
srry for bad english
That sounds good, in terms of GP. About the bubble points, all I know is that class 6 tanks get 100 BP, and class 1 and 2 tanks get 25…
I don’t really have much of an idea of how I could draw an aerial picture boat using only circular shapes… this design might take a little while.
Also: I’d only pick one secondary weapon. Since the secondary fire is only bound to one key, you’d have no choice but to fire both the stun burst and the massive cannon at the same time. May I suggest trading the stun burst for 2 more auto-turrets?
I found an aerial picture of a dreadnought; I’m going to base the design off of this:
Dreadnought top-down diagram
@meta knight umm how do i say this…… YOU EARN BUBBLE POINTS NOT SOME ASSIGNED PER GRADE! it means that you cant choose a tank and have 25-100 and the bubble points stay there. i bet you can get 500 max..
ok?
Sounds good so far, Meta Knight!
DREADNOUGHT
BP used: ???/100

Primary Weapons: 4 Sm. Auto, 1 Dual Large MG
Secondary Weapons: Massive Cannon
Description: Able to take down hordes of enemies; where it fails in speed, it more than makes up for in armor and armaments.
Uhhh… I think the speed and armor are preset per class. And also, I think you’re a bit off in terms of percentages. You’re saying this about your tank:
-Where a standard tank would move 100 (meters) in a certain amount of time, your tank would only move 5
-Where a standard tank would take 100 damage, yours would take 95
This seems a bit underpowered.
Or are you saying that your tank would have 5% more speed than standard, and that it’d have 95% more armor? Then try saying that it’d have 105% speed and 195% armor.
With that setup, your tank would be faster than a standard tank, which doesn’t seem realistic.
However, I think the tanks have preset armor and speed, depending on their class.
In the video, the class 6 tanks had:
30% speed
300% armor
-where a standard tank would move 100 meters, yours would move 30 (about 3 times slower)
-where a standard tank would take 100 damage, yours would only take 33
does that make sense? or did I not understand your perception of the armor/speed percentages?
Speed: 20% = moves 20% slower than a normal tank’s speed. Normal tank = 100% speed. See where I’m going with this?
Armor: 300% Yes, I changed it after thoroughly watching the BTA video. It now has 300x more armor than a normal tank.
I don’t know if these percentages are precise.
Whats taking so long?
Not too many small bubbles on my Dreadnought, Meta Knight. A few small bubbles are always okay, it’s just that too many will make it look… kinda like rubbish, in a way. You know what I’m saying?
Oops. I mean OUR Dreadnought.
Haha yeah. And by 20% speed, the video means that the tank moves AT 20% of the speed of the regular tank, not 20% slower. Then it’d move at 80% of the regular, and that’s just not slow at all.

Wait a minute, do Mitosis Seekers cost 2 GP?
@Meta Knight and Goon
Actually, I think that there ARE preset speeds and/or armors for the tanks. For example, when you look at the viedo (starting at 0.02, ending at 0.27), because the tank is still small/young. But then right after you’ve watched that part (where he/she is duplicating the tank to Class 2), notice how the speed goes to 90 and the armor goes to 110. Then in the next part (up to 1.15), since he/she is still working with Class 2 tanks, the speed stays at 90 and the armor stays at 110. Then look at the part with the Class 6 tank (up to the end). Its speed stays at 30 and its armor stays at 300. Then after that (around 2.08), he/she deletes part of the Class 6 tank and makes it a Class 2 tank, which again has the speed of 90 and the armor of 110. Is that understandable guys?
Also, if you wanted to make the shape of a Dreadnought, you’d need to make a pyramid of small bubbles at the tip which has increasing larger bubbles as the pyramid gets wider. For example:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
This isn’t exact, but this should give you an idea, Meta Knight.
@I NEED BTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Meta Knight knows that, but he’s assuming that he can make those tanks at the maximum amount of BP and GP that he’d be allowed to use. But if we assumed that someone just started to play BTA, then they wouldn’t be allowed to maximize their tank. That would just be cheap! Why would they have classes if you could just make a Class 6 from the beginning?
P.S. @Meta Knight and Goon
I’ve been working on a few designs for tanks myself, but I haven’t gotten them online yet. Meta Knight, I myself am pretty concerned about personal security and information. What kind of personal information (email, adress, etc.) do I have to submit to Photobucket?
Aw, crud.

Not the final revision.
The orbital seekers only inspire me on small, vulnerable tanks. Sorry
May I suggest trading the orbital seekers for either two more autos or one heavy cannon?
@takedown:
-I NEED BTA was talking about how there isn’t a specific limit per class to the bubble points. I agree, but I think you should only be allowed to use a certain amount of bubbles per class… it’d be weird to have 100 small bubbles crammed into the space of a class 1 tank.
-thanks for the layout. I was kinda hesitant on the overall shape, but now I get it.
-I too noticed the armor/speed stats in the video, so it must be true
-Photobucket doesn’t ask for much, probably only email address, desired username and password, but use a gmail account to enter as your email address, just in case they send you spam. I use a gmail for all online sign-up things, to keep spam from getting to my real email. I haven’t been blackmailed, stalked, or mugged as a result of signing up for photobucket, but someone earlier said that photobucket(advertisements) were sending them viruses, but they were using IE (which downloads all your viruses FOR you as you enter the site). If you use the mozilla firefox web browser, that shouldn’t be a problem.
Does that clear up everything?

The massive cannon just doesn’t seem “Navaly” enough for me anymore. However, dreadnoughts are huge, so I guess they can carry fighters on deck.
@Meta Knight
-Your welcome. I’m good in design.
-Oh, I understand what I NEED BTA was talking about now. I thought he meant that it was wrong to assume that you GOT 100 BP at the beginning, but he was really just talking about how you can still get more BP. But do you think that means that you can use as many BP as you have earned of it? I’m not inspired by games where you don’t lose much but you keep continuously playing. Eventually, those get boring and old. I’d rather have a game where currency of some type can just keep piling on until you have over a billion of that currency. It’s much more fun to have a limit/challenge that makes it more of a challenge. Don’t you agree?
-Okay, that’s good. I don’t use Gmail; I use MSN Hotmail. It’s not like you can’t just delete spam messages- it doesn’t bug me too much! Although I have to admit, they can stack onto each other pretty well sometimes. And I’m not too concerned about the Mozilla Firefox-IE issue. The only thing that has happened to me when I’ve looked at your designs are just a few pop-ups. I understand how everyone has their own different computer systems and sometimes they’re better or worse, but it never bothers me really.
Thanks for the help!
Typo! Sorry!
(Before) I’d rather have a game where currency of some type CAN just keep piling on until you have over a billion of that currency.
(AFTER) I’d rather have a game where currency of some type CAN’T just keep piling on until you have over a billion of that currency
@meta knight g,
I used firefox and operah on that photobucket website, and Operah would not show anything, and firefox was fine. Also, Have you ever considered an orbital seekers plus the two auto. small guns?
@Takedown,
I would still run a scan for viruses if you use IE.
@Meta Knight G
Could I ask for… view of my tank? Of course you can made it after you will finish Dreadnought.

body looks almost like when you start arena mode on BT2 with standar tank, but have 2 medium bubbles on back and front of that tank is the same like in ghost sniper. SMG is on centre bubble, and seekers are on wings (bubbles on sides witch have very small bubbles around).
think you can do it?
Geez, Meta Knight. Your art is getting you ever more popular by the second!

Sorry guys, just got back from a huge thing I had to do. Construction on dreadnought will begin right away. Sorry for the delay!
Also, @PTK7:
I’m pretty sure doomsday infects cost 2 GP each. Try revising your F-bubble again.
Glad to know you’re still alive.
Finished the dreadnought; keeping the sides relatively straight was a bit of a challenge. I also added “engines” to the back.
Dreadnought
Tell me if you want any changes in weapon placement.
Idea!!!
Title:The Centitank
Weapon:2 regular cannons
Size:2
Yay! Thank you very much! It’s awesome! And, yes, it DOES rock much of my socks off. I also really like how you captured the boat look. Very good job!
5 stars,
Goon.
no one acnowledges me
Also, the weapon placement is fine, unless you see a better formation.
tell me the truth, is my idea lousy?
is it? is it? is it? is it? is it?
told you no one acnowledges me.
@ummm:
The tank is fine, although it could use a bit more firepower, IMHO.
GUNSHIP(like the helicopter, of course)

BP used: ???/NMD*
GP used: 12/12
Primary Weapons: 2 Basic Cannons, 2 Machine Guns, 2 Heavy Cannons
Secondary Weapons: 1 Ally Rally(or is it Bay? NMD* for that)
Tertiary weapons: none *gasp*
Description: The gunship is heavily armed, yet able to evade.
NMD* - Need More Data
@ummm:
I think your idea needs a bit more thought and description before anyone takes it seriously. Also, only using 2 basic cannons on a class 2 tank is a pretty big waste of space (you can have up to about 8 basic cannons on a class 2), and I see little connection between the title of the tank and the actual design. What does it look like? how is it shaped?
Whoops. On Gunship, it’s not 1 Ally Rally, it’s 1 Seekers. Sorry about that.
By “1 seekers”, do you mean “2 seekers”?
Okay, SCRAP THE GUNSHIP!!! I have a better idea.
STRATO(meaning “Sky”)-DESTROYER

Secondary Weapons: 6 Seekers.
Description: A force to be reckoned with, the Strato-Destroyer seeks to destroy everything in its path.
I am totally going to use these ideas when BTA comes out. *evil grin*
The Strato-Destroyer is a plane, so it probably should be based on a triangular(or a star) shape.
Too late, I finished the gunship. I’ll do the Stratodestroyer too.
Gunship
…and again, I’m pretty sure regular seekers cost 1 GP each… but I’ll assume 2, just to be on the safe side.
StratoDestroyer
Does anyone know if seekers cost 1 or 2 GP?
I love both of them!
They look marvelous, but I prefer Strato-Destroyer for its uniqueness. Very good job! I’ll dream up some more ideas as they pop into view.
Seekers are pretty powerful when used correctly, Meta Knight. I assume they cost 2, since 1 would make it seem weaker than it really is. I really don’t know though. We’ll have to sift through the screenshots, and look through the video to know for sure.

@PTK7:
Could you elaborate just a bit more on the shape of the tank? I’m not really seeing it.
@Demon:
I don’t work for HI, I’m just an active thread member. If they WERE to ask me to join the team, I’d accept before you could say “accept”.
Also, proof that I’m not lying: I don’t know anything about the game outside of the screenshots and videos. I would have much better knowledge of GPs and such if I were on the team.
About the “huge class 6 tank” that you want me to make, what kind of weapons would you want on it? Seekers? Machine guns? Pierce cannons? What would you want it to look like?
@ Meta Knight:
I got a big order for you this time… 2 tanks at once!
Tank 1: Train Wreck
Class: 6
BP used: ___/100
GP used: 20/20
Primary Weapons: 2 Heavy Cannons, 1 2-shot MG, 4 Sm. Auto.
Secondary Weapons: Drone Conversion
Description: The name says it all.
This tank will sport a chain of large bubbles, making it look like a train. You can edit it from there, Meta Knight. Also, the Drone Converter is on the caboose of the “train”.
Tank 2: Burst Fighter
Class: 2
BP used: ___/__
GP used: 8/8
Primary Weapons: 5-Spread
Secondary Weapons: Area Burst.
Description: This tank may be small, but it’s bursting with energy!
Anything that needs to be changed? The weapons, the name, or even the tank itself? Please, your opinion counts!
@goon:
About the train wreck, I don’t see any reason for the drone converter. How does that fit in with a “train wreck”?
Also, I think the train wreck idea would be a lot better if they allowed rotation points on bubbles, letting you connect chains of bubbles that “drag” behind a specified “moving bubble”, which is/are the only one/s that can be directly controlled by the arrow keys. Know what I mean? Here, use this:
Bubble Drag
The exception there is that you have to move it with your mouse. But the idea is the same.
Catch my drift? That drag idea would probably improve your train idea.
hey guys its me tornado 56 well theo i think thats inprprit for the people that go to this blog and dont fill this blog up pleas because one day im here then i cant see my blog any were pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Meta Knight G
http://www.jpthor.com/images/Game Picts/bubble_tank_2.png
body must look like balanced tank on this picture, but seekers bust be on his “wings” and SMG on main bubble
http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/gamelife/images/2008/07/21/bg_bubble_tanks2.jpg
fixed link
I’m not begging the developers to make that rotation point option, because I understand how much more time and energy that would take to create. It’s simply a statement saying that I don’t think the train wreck tank will work unless something like that DOES happen to come up…
Also, I just had an odd weapon idea; I’m going to put it here, but again, I don’t expect it to be implemented.
Weapon name: Remote drone
Type: secondary fire
GP: 3
Port appearance: looks like any other seeker port.
Drone appearance: looks just like a stage 2 mitosis seeker, except it has a third bubble on the rear, in between the two branches.
Effect: When fired, it deploys one drone. The drone moves toward the mouse, just like the ally swarm tanks, only slower (regular seeker drone speed). In this sense, it can be directed with the mouse, but only one can be active at a time, just like only 6 allies can be active on the BFT carrier. When it comes into contact with an enemy, it explodes, doing regular seeker damage.
Essentially, it’s a mouse-directed seeker.
@PTK7:
Ok, I see now. I’ll try to do it tonight; I’m not on my home computer at the moment.
Right. I’m just gonna scrap the train wreck. It just doesn’t appeal to me, you know? I’ve got a better idea anyways. Although, you can still use the train wreck, but I don’t need credit for it. Anyways…
Automaton
Class: 6
GP used: 20/20
Primary Weapons: 12 Sm. Auto

Please tell me if this idea stinks.
I kinda already made a tank like that, except without the converter. It has a leeching cannon instead.

@Meta Knight
I reviewed what I missed last night and up to now and I must say, I like the tanks that you and other bloggers have made! You seem to have a lot on your hands though. Once I get my Photobucket profile up and running, if you’d like me to, I’d love to help take a few requests off your hands.
On the other hand, I was looking at the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use and I have some more questions about Photobucket:
1. Has Photobucket contacted you at all?
2. Has Photobucket sent you anything at all?
3. Has Photobucket done ANYTHING that involves your personal information?
I’m only asking these questions because I do NOT like to be contacted by anonymous companies/businesses. I find it rather disturbing and annoying, because you don’t even know who they are, if you know what I mean.
Thanks Meta Knight!
1. No (except the “welcome to photobucket!” email)
2. No-er
3. No-est
It’s not really that anonymous; a lot of people on online gaming forums use photobucket. Just watch out for the ads. Other than that, I assure you it’s completely safe.
Shoot. Back to square one.

Okay, I know you’re an enthusiastic person, but really, SLOW DOWN WITH YOUR IDEAS! Have you forgotten to take your Chill Pills? “)
@goon:
I was never really attracted to mines, it just leaves too much up to chance, when you could have more accurate auto-turrets or 100% accurate seekers… Here’s an idea: replace the mines with 5 area burst cannons? Then it’d truly be heavily armed.

P.S. I’ll create a more detailed and clearer version sometime soon.
Wow, I’m stupid… Here is the link, I forgot it in the other comment: http://s942.photobucket.com/albums/ad263/iMathematics/?action=view¤t=horriblebubbletankpicture.jpg
It’s a pretty good try, and the effort you gave is all that counts… I think.
IMHO, I don’t really like to use paint. Maybe there are other, more efficient, ways of drawing your tank?
I have to say that Meta Knight G is doing an EXCELLENT job with the tanks, but everyone, CALM DOWN! You’ll all get your turns to have your ideas exspressed!
@Goon
Goon, you have to share, too! I know you and Meta Knight are like a team (which I’d love to join because you two are my favorites of all of the bloggers! “D), but there ARE other people who’d like Meta Knight to take a whack at their ideas. And don’t forget,
@Meta Knight
If you still want me to, once I get my Photobucket account running, I’d love to help with the high demand of tank designs.

@Meta Knight G
Hows progress of F-Bubble?
It’s almost done, but it’s on my home computer and I can’t get it now.
@ Meta Knight G
Hows the progress of BTA?
Is the Bubble tank Editor Done?
I bet its 70~90 percent done. Am I right or wrong?
hey you go create new tanks????
please T.T
@Takedown: If i don’t share my ideas, then I’ll end up going nuts, because I know the real BT Editor will be done within a couple months - a year. And the Chill Pills wouldn’t work, because I wouldn’t be mad, I’d be INSANE! So, why not take that time to share a few ideas with other people?
Hehe, I’m a favorable blogger.
@Meta Knight: Are we a team?
If you want me to stop posting ideas for a ehile, just let me know, so I can take a couple of Chill Pills beforehand, okay?
Ack, stupid keyboard.
“ehile” = while
I suppose you’re developing a tolerance to chill pills…
I guess we’re a team in the sense that you think up a lot of ideas, and I bring them to life. I’m fine with your continual ideas; it inspires me at the same time. Also, it may seem I’m teaming up with Goon because I know that he knows what he’s doing, and is clear about what he wants with the tank and requires little collaboration. If everyone learned how many GPs each tank class had and how many each weapon cost, I’d probably have a much easier time creating the tank.
@demon:
again, I’m not part of the HI team. I have no idea how close they are to being finished.
P.S. I’m still away from home, so completion of the F-bubble won’t be until later tonight.
So how bout’ those olympics?
*attempts to change subject…*
@Goon
Don’t worry, I’m not telling you NOT to share your ideas, but I think that all of these request from other bloggers might overwhelm Meta Knight. So I guess we can only ask him.
@Meta Knight
Are you overwhelmed by all of these tank requests that bloggers are giving you? “)
Also, I noticed that you haven’t made any BP measurements. Would you like me to at least attempt to count them? It’s the least I can do since I still don’t have my Photobucket account up(GARGH!! So angry at myself that I haven’t gotten the chance to set it up! *takes Chill Pill* Who knew that they sold them outside of the Mack Blarket?).
@Everyone
2 things:
1. For everyone’s information, just because people like Meta Knight, Goon, and I post clearly, it does NOT mean that we’re in HI! We only post like that because (no offfense to some of you) some of you blogggers make unclear posts that are hard to understand. When we make more clear posts, people DO understand them and pay more attention to them.
2. This is just for fun, okay?
I have a secret! It is true and it’s one of the following so you have to guess!
a. I’m famous
b. I’m a married adult who plays Bubble Tanks
c. I’m on the Hero Interactive team, but I’m undercover
d. I know the lastest time that BTA can come out
So don’t forget, everyone! One of these IS true and I’m not giving ANY hints! Good luck finding it out!
Huh, since when aer there 3 g’s in “bloggers”?
Oh no! I’m making too many posts with typos in them! Help! SOS! Save our kins!
Not “kins”, I meant “skins”! And in the post before the post before this one, aer = are.
I’m not normally this gramatically incorrect!
(So I spell “gramatically” and “incorrect” (longer words)right, but I can’t get “bloggers”, “are”, and “skins” (shorted words) spelled correctly? WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME TODAY?!?!?!?!?!
@Epic Takedown, my guess is B
@Epic Takedown
I think the thrue is… B.
I’ll take “all of the above”, for $500.
No, I’m not overwhelmed. It’s just that I have to spend a lot of time away from my home computer, and I can’t make them otherwise because I don’t know if any other computers have microsoft word ‘010 beta. However, I WOULD appreciate anyone who helped me out and made tanks for other people. Remember, I began because I wanted others to follow, not because I wanted all the attention. I only want for everyone to be happy *sob*
Yeah, go ahead with the creating of the tanks and such.
I haven’t been doing BP counts because:
a) they’re time consuming
b) I doubt any tanks I’ll make will go over the limit
c)The BP limit are not a set value, it depends on what you’ve been doing in-game. So, I just assume you have infinite bubbles, within reason. So, there’s no need to keep track if you don’t know what the limit is.
So now, you should understand that the meaning of life is a lego brick.
Speaking of which, I heard a story today. It’s about a guy in an advanced college philosophy course, and their final essay paper question was simply “why?” So, this guy goes and writes a 20-page paper, including thesis, research, and the whole shabang. He turned the paper in, and got a B. On the other hand, his friend was also in the class, and for his paper, he simply replied, “why not?”
He got an A
True story.
@meta knight g,
If you want me to help, I have the next best program… adobe illustrater. they made this program for this kind of stuff. So if you want me to, I get home from work/school at 4:30 and I could work on them from 5:00 - 7:00 (gives me an extra 30 minutes because I walk home from work/school(Im not saying weather I go to school or work because I keep my age to my self).), so yes or no?
p.s:I used “why? why not?” phrase one time at school for a wrigting quiz where you have to stand in front of the class some-time ago. She gave me an extra 100 points extra-credit.
@Meta Knight (part 1)
No, you can’t choose all of the above, but I can choose $500 dollars out of your wallet if you’d like! ID
@People of HI
I like the fact that people are already guessing! That means that it’s interseting (and a distraction to others!) By the way,
@Steph
Now that you’ve specifically NOT chosen C, people know that I’m not on the team! Or am I?
What if I’m undercover at Hero Interactive? I could be Pete, K.C., maybe even Jared! NO ONE KNOWS WHO I AM! BWAHAHAHA!!! *Chill Pill*. But really, do YOU know FOR SURE, Steph? But even if I’m not on the team, I would understand. But who said I was? It’s a mystery!
By the way, do you think that Meta Knight’s new trend is cool? Really, what does Hero Interactive have to say about it?
@Meta Knight (part 2)
-Okay, it’s great to know that you’re not overwhelmed, so
@Goon
I believe I owe you an apology. *clears throat* Goon, I’m sorry that I called you overwhelming. You are not overwhelming. You are underwhelming. You are a completely cool person!
-I’m ESPECIALLY glad that you really are setting a new trend, with me to start making designs as well. I also now understand why you don’t do BP. On the other hand, I try to count the BP I’ve been using to make my designs (which STILL aren’t up yet). I know, I’m making a big deal out of getting my Photobucket account up and running, but I REALLY want to help share ideas!
-Well, life is many things. Life is a highway, life is a tree, life is even a Starbucks (R) Caramel Frapuchino’! But I guess it’s also a Lego brick.
-That IS a funny story! A similar thing happened at University of Virginia a few years back where two physics students were arguing over a silly question. It was:
“If a tree falls in a forest, but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?”
Physics student A, an intellegent, fact-strict, young woman, replied: “Of course it does! Even the slightest movement causes molecules to move, thus creating sound!” Then she pushed over a large pile of textbooks off of a table to prove it.
Physics student B, a smart, curiosity-embracing, young man, replied “Well, have you heard it happen?”
Student A answered “Well, no but, it’s facts! Moving objects ALWAYS make a sound!”
As we all know, a girl and a boy can get into a pretty intense arguement since they’re almost opposites in EVERY way. They got in a very short arguement over it though because the professor intervened. “Student B’s name (confidentiality) is correct.”
Student A became upset and asked: “How?”
The professor grinned. “For three reasons. One, he’s right that no one has proved it. Two, it’s true that movement causes molecules to move, thus creating sound, but you also have to keep an open mind of what can happen in the Earth. And three, you don’t have time to argue because you’re in trouble.”
Student B started to cry. “Why?”
Remember how student A pushed over that large pile of textbooks? The professor pointed at his foot, which was off of the floor. “Because you dropped the amount of textbooks equivalent to TEN trees onto my foot. You should be glad that I didn’t make a sound.”
Also a true story.
Eventually, the two worked out their problems and agreeded that if a tree falls in a forset but no one is there to hear it, it still makes a sound.
Typo- forset = forest

“It’s just that I have to spend a lot of time away from my home computer, and I can’t make them otherwise because I don’t know if any other computers have microsoft word ‘010 beta”
What do you mean by “It’s just that I have to spend a lot of time away from my home computer”? How do you make the designs if you aren’t working on your computer? Do you have a laptop or a handheld device?
And I don’t think that you need the Microsoft Word 2010 Beta. Microsoft Office Word 2007 is just as good. It even has a preset format that makes a circle look exactly like a red bubble used to make a tank.
“I’m still away from home, so completion of the F-bubble won’t be until later tonight.”
Are you on vacation or something? Again, how are you making designs if you aren’t home?
sory for change topic, but in witch country did you live meta knight, in my country there is midnight now
Can I ask that the shield be a secondary? It was easily the best secondary weapon because I can use it to kill a destroyer without taking more than 3 hits. Other secondaries were okay, but when you have a shield that ends any kind of attack, you can escape from some pretty desperate situations.
Yea… My tank was a total fail…
@takedown and PTK7:
-I live in the U.S.
-I can do the designs when I’m at home.
-I want to do ALL of the designs on my home computer, just to keep them all in one place.
-I don’t have a laptop or anything portable that could be used to make designs.
-I’m a minor. I go to school. I don’t have enough time to make tanks there, only enough time to post comments. When I come home is when I make the tanks.
-I’m not going to work on anything right now, because (even though I’m at home) I’m pretty goshdarn tired right now, and I have a lot to do tomorrow. Sorry, guys.
Does that clear things up?
Also, I openly welcome anyone who wants to help out in making tanks and posting them here. Again, I want to start a trend, not be selfish.
well me being curious and all whats the most and least bubbles you can have on your tank? and colour that would be coolzor and with the wepons is a wepon limit ?
I would help, but as I said before, I’m using a Wii to type these comments.
@Meta Knight G
I have got microsoft 2003, so if you want i could help you when i will get my photobucket acount.
My first bubble tank is made:
http://s789.photobucket.com/albums/yy173/PTK7/?action=view¤t=F-Bubble.jpg
what do you think about it?
6th class tank - is it going to have unlimited size to be able to create the real bubble fortress?
how did you make a tank????
1 can you upgrade your weps
and can any wep be auto
will there be a mode where u have unlimited credets any class u want but you cant actually post the tanks
@freekill:
1. I doubt it.
2. I doubt it.
3. No.
@PTK7:
Nice! Very good job for your first creation. The only suggestion I have is to make the bubbles overlap (try looking at a few of my own tanks). Otherwise, good job!
@freekill117
I’ve made tank using Microsoft World 2003. If you want i can make a tank for you, but you must describe it, and write some infos:
name: _
Class: _
Gun Points: _/_
Primary weapons: _
Secondary Weapons: _
Ps.: I have winter holidays, so I have a lot of time to make tanks.
@PTK7, how do you make a Bubble Tank from a word processor?
1. I’ve made it in Microsoft Word
2. Print screen
3. Paint
another my tank:

man (godly harps)epic takedown,s comments are long
@Meta Knight G
Shorten your comments.They are way to long
@Epic Takedown
Same with you.You sent 4 comments in a row and you sent that really long comment thats about 2 times the size of my computer screen.
you write about BTA or you get out of this topic
I just got home, I am starting designing. so, any ideas?
ok, I finished my first tank, here is the link. It might be to small. If it is, tell me.
http://s852.photobucket.com/albums/ab90/jr_racer/
to see this i need a pasword
When will bubble tanks areana going to come out because i’v been waiting a long time to find out?
@i posted this comment
I agree. I DO make very long posts and it does lag computers sometimes when there are very long lists of comments. I’m sorry. I will try my best to shorten my comments, but I can’t guarantee that I will be successful in doing so. Thank you for bringing that issue into view, i posted this comment!
Also, those very long ones were just because they had to do with a detailed topic.
Speed dude,
I cannot view your tank because it requires me to log on to Photobucket… Now why is that? :S
I am log in, but i still must give some password.
@Everyone
are there any ideas for tanks?
Try Empireatwar1. just log back out. It has to be exactly like what it says.
I have lost interest… I have grown impatient with the long winded development of this juvenile game. I admire the creators for their efforts to ease the anticipation and aid those who are becoming increasingly impatient for this game such as myself, but I cannot wait any longer and shall cease to post comments or partake in these shenanigans.
-Advise to the makers!
Next time you make a game that will take several months or even years to develop… don’t announce it the second you think of it or start developing the retched thing.
Good bye!
interesting like for first tank, but needs description (name, weapons, GP)
now you must change password, beacose when i wrote that password i was logged in your profle.
@everyone having trouble with photobucket:
You’re doing it wrong
I think you guys are just going to your albums, clicking on the picture, and copying the address in the URL bar. That’s not how to do it, because that link is tied to your account and therefore needs a password. The correct way to do it is to:
1. Be viewing the album with the picture
2. move your mouse over the picture
3. a little menu should pop down
4. click on the little “a href…” thing next to what says “HTML code”
5. press Ctrl C
6. Paste it here, into a comment
7. Near the end, the code should look something like:
“…>”
In between the >Gunship
Ok, that didn’t work. I think it took my example as actual HTML code. This time, a ( or ) are really supposed to be the sideways v brackets. Here’s the rest:
7. Near the end, the code should look something like:
“…)(/a)”
In between the )(, write the name that you want the link to be. For example, if you type “My tank”, the link will show up as the words “My tank”, and if you click on them, it’ll go to the link.
Example: Gunship
i just go to my album and on up there is button Upload images and videos
Did you upload the tank?
BOTH tanks
and hiere it comes third:
http://s789.photobucket.com/albums/yy173/PTK7/?action=view¤t=HeavyBoom.jpg
Read this!!!
Are there even better weapons or even better defence than the previous games(BT2,BTTD)? If there are, it’ll make BTA awesome! Any “super weapons” or something like that? What do the class numbers mean? Does a lower number mean a lighter tank or a heavier tank?
WEAPONS
I mentioned super weapons, right?
Anything better about the weapons that will make BTA better?
Defence
What kind of defence is there this time? Is the defence avialable much better?
Classes
What do class numbers mean? Do they mean light or heavy? Do they just follow an unusual rule? What even is the rule that class numbers follow? Is it a pattern?Tell me!!!
Now I understand why the game is taking a lot of time
you should update BTA with new weapons AFTER the first part comes out, and before you start work (unless you already have) on BT3
also… WHAT?!? THERES BETA TESTERS?!?!
Wait!!! I’ve got an important question!
How much will each weapon cost? How much will each bubble for your tank cost? Waht are the sizes of items(bubbles and weapons/defence)?
Why don’t you put some of these important questions(in the comments here) in the Q&A’s?
will there be a nuke that hits everyone but the more farther away the less it will do?
@Rudy
1. there will be no diffrend weapons, defences or somethink else (it is on end Q&A)
2.bigger tank = higher class (more in editor video).
higher class = more gun points, slower but heavier (more in Q&A).
3.for weapon cost ask Meta Knight G he know a lot of.
@Camo5
Beta testers works in HI
@Everyone
Before you will ask for somethink, read carefully this and previous Q&A
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS95fZCUW44
Everythink is hiere /\
@ptk7,
ok, I changed my password. I am working on more tanks now.
also if you have some ideas for tank, we (I, Meta Knight G, Goon, Epic, speed dude) can make some tanks if you will describe them

Class: _
Gun Points: _/_
Primary weapons: _
Secondary Weapons: _
Body Description: _
ok, I now have a public profile, same password (Empireatwar1) and my own private profile on photobucket. Here are some tanks that I finished today…

Metaknight g and TPK7, please tell me if these are good.I did every thing on Adobe illustrater.
Is there going to be a gun from the heavy 1 that shoots as fast as fighter 4?
I think BTA will come out in between now to 2014 because it probably takes only a few years to make a video game and send it around the world. I can’t a single day for this fffffffffuuuuuuuunnnnnnnn game to come out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heyy does anyone know how to convert a word doc onto paint coz i just made a tank on word and im tryin to upload it onto photobucket
plz help me
Still waiting for this game like a hyper active 12 year old on speed…
Well, see everyone later. I’m going through a “tunnel” because I don’t think I’m going to be able to check back for a LONG time. Why? Because I’m a freaking procrastinator and have a work presentation due soon.
i wuld like to beable to make my one guns ………………………….if it will work
@I posted this,
You highlight everything on word, ctrl c, and go on paint, make a selection box, and ctrl v. Walla.
Also, we neeeed ideas. We (Meta Knight G, Goon, Epic, PTKD, and I) cant come up with ideas forever (or atleast until BTA comes out).
Also, Cameron,
Its called the double heavy gun. go on one of meta knight g’s pictures and look through the album. It should have every gun there is.
Idea
Boomer
Class: 6
Gun Points: as you will chose
Primary weapons: only explosive
Secondary Weapons: only explosive
Description: it is tank witch have only explosive guns, and make body as you want.

I live!
Sorry i posted this comment, but I just GOT to share this story!
So, why haven’t I posted in a while? I believe we all know that I post daily, so why was I gone? MY COMPUTER DIED! Well, ALMOST died. It started to freeze, so I had just enough time (about 12 hours) to save it. I went to the computer store and bought Windows 7 (I was using Windows Vista). It took like 11 hours just to reboot several times and reload previously saved files. Eventually, with only 7 minutes on the clock, (ironic that it was Windows 7 and I finished with 7 minutes, isn’t it?) my computer came back to life! And now I have a WAY better computer!
Cool story, huh?
@speed dude
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?! You NEVER give anyone your password! Who taught you about internet safety? speed dude, now people really COULD know things about you!
I suggest you run away to Texas and hop the fence. If that doesn’t work, go back around the country and escape to Canada. Either one works. If you’re really desperate to get away, take a ferry to Asia. Get a job in a clothing manufaction plant. I hear tie-business is really booming in Thailand. “)
@Takedown,
I dont have any personal info on there. I just put random things on there, so no one can know my personal info. I know what i am doing.
@Takedown,
I also have windows 7. I got viruses from vista within 24 hours of when i first turned on my computer the very first time. Good for you.
New idea!
Heavy Miner
Class: 6
GP used: 20/20
Primary Weapons: 3 Heavy Cannons
Secondary Weapons: 7 Mine Layers.
Very efficient at laying whole walls of mines, yet able to defend itself.
I assume the mines cost 2 each. Also, the mines are placed in a “wall” fashion. The heavy cannons can be placed wherever you like… so have fun.
ready
http://s789.photobucket.com/albums/yy173/PTK7/?action=view¤t=HeavyMiner.jpg
@speed dude
Don’t forget, yoou had to submit a few things for personal information like email and adress, Can people even look at those, though? If not, good for you. No need to run. You can stay in the God-blessed America, your home sweet home! But really, CAN they? If not, that’s EXCELLENT! That’s the thing that had been bugging me about getting a Photobucket account! If there’s no way AT ALL of other people seeing personal information, then I feel perfectly fine!
As you all can infer, I’m a safety freak. Yes, I do look both ways when I’m crossing a street, I don’t believe in the “5 Second Rule”, and I really get freaked out when physical contact starts up. Well actually, no. That’s would djust be plain wrong. Then I wouldn’t like football and only complete nerds don’t like football. I’m just kidding, but yes, I think football IS pretty cool. That’s my ONLY acception of safety! Oh, and for hockey. And rugby. And wrestling. Etc… But, there ARE referees, so that makes it better!
@Goon and PTK7
WOW! That turned out GREAT! Just in my opinion, I think that a trail of mines would be more efficient because it’s sometimes harder for enemies to run into a horizontal wall. If you have it horizontal, the only enemies who would most likely run into them are the ones coming at you from your front and from behind.
But if you have a constant trail of bubbles behind you, enemies who come at you from the sides will more likely run into them instead of you. I call this “The Trailblazer Effect”. I’ve used it in many “vehicle creation” games. It works. Trust me. But it’s completely up to you guys.
ok i will try to do somethink like Mine cage
Ready
http://s789.photobucket.com/albums/yy173/PTK7/?action=view¤t=CageMiner.jpg
Hey guys,
Great job on the creations! My only suggestion is that you construct them on a black background; this makes it somewhat easier to look at and appreciate.
Also, make sure you post what class it is, how many gun points, what guns there are, etc. so we know what’s what!
Does anyone have a tank they want me to make?
@Takedown
I did not have to put an e-mail address on mine.
Also, here are the correct links to my creations…
http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab90/jr_racer/BFTMine.png
Hey, i have idea (not for tank). If someone know how to contact with Admins of this site, we could ask for contest for The best tank made by pepole like we! There was same contest but only for BTA desingers. I think now it is our turn.
@PTK7
I think The Heavy Miner turned out much better now because now, instead of a straight wall, you have a cluster of mines! Although it’s doesn’t use my Trailblazer effect, it’s still good. If you’d like, I’ll demonstrate the Trailblazer effect now:
@ = Body Bubble
M = Mine Layer
@@@@@@@@@@@@
M@M@M@M@M@M@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@
By placing them in a line, you have succeeded in making a line of mines. I believe that your idea of the Trailblazer effect is that you lay a swarm of mines behind you. I admit, it’s still a great idea. Truthfully, I wish I came up with it. But just so you get the gist of it, it’s one behind another. A really devastating way of demonstrating this would be with 2 Massive Cannons. THAT would be terrible! Although it wouldn’t be two times the fire rate, it would still be awesome considering the damage it would do!
@speed dude
Wait, you can do that? It isn’t required?
@PTK7
PTK7, that’s a BRILLIANT idea! Or, well the Heavy Miner AND the contest. Plus, since there are only a few of us who are currently making tanks, there wouldn’t be hundreds or thousands of tanks to judge. Maybe HI could pick their top 10 favorites and then we could judge those! But, they already had a contest like that with the staff of HI. You have to do a bit of digging, but it dates back a pretty long time ago. But they HAVEN’T done it with actual bloggers! Speaking of contests…Remember how I set up that multiple choice contest a while back? Here’s a refresher:
I have a secret! It is true and it’s one of the following so you have to guess!
a. I’m famous
b. I’m a married adult who plays Bubble Tanks
c. I’m on the Hero Interactive team, but I’m undercover
d. I know the lastest time that BTA can come out
So don’t forget, everyone! One of these IS true and I’m not giving ANY hints! Good luck finding it out!
Well, just so you all know, the challenge will be over at the end of February, so get your answers ready!
Idea time!
Battlestation(got this from BWII because it’s awesome)
Class: 6

Secondary Weapons: None
Body Description: A curved arrowhead.
…
__TRANSMISSION TERMINATED___
@Meta Knight G
The body description for the Leviathan illustrated by zero’s was messed up. The angle between the inner scythe and the outer scythes is supposed to be less than 40 degrees.
This doesn’t mean that this is the answer, but why does everyone choose B? I’m not saying it is or isn’t, but could someone explain why it’s so popular among everyone?
@Silent Shadow
For your Leviathan tank, does your “scythes” design look a little more like this?:
O = Body Bubble
- = Empty Space/ NOT a Bubble
-OOOOOOOOOOO——-
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOO———-OOOO
OOOOOO————-
OOOOOOOO—-OOOO—
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOO—-OOOO—
OOOOOO————-
OOOOO———-OOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-OOOOOOOOOOO——-
Oh, by the way, does anyone know the EXACT measurements of BP and GP for at least MOST of the weapons? I’m trying to make a complete list of them all so that it’s easier for people to make their tanks. This is what I have so far:
PRIMARY WEAPONS
Basic Cannon/ Semi Auto = 1 BP, 1 GP
Machine Gun = 1 BP, 2 GP
2 Parallel = ? BP, ? GP
Heavy Cannon = 2 BP, 2 GP
3 Spread Cannon = 1 BP, 2 GP
3 Parallel = ? BP, ? BP
5 Parallel = ? BP, ? GP
Pierce Shot = ? BP, ? GP
Upgraded/Super Machine Gun = 1 BP, 4 GP
5 Spread = ? BP, ? GP
Strong Pierce = ? BP, ? GP
2 Shot Machine Gun = 1 BP, 6 GP
2 Large Shell Machine Gun = ? BP, ? GP
Explosive Pierce = 2 BP, 2 GP
3 Shot Machine Gun = 1 BP, 8 GP
Leeching Bullets = ? BP, 4 GP
Mitosis Seekers = ? BP, 4 GP
Bullet Buster = ? BP, ? GP
SECONDARY WEAPONS

Massive Cannon = 2 BP, 8 GP
Ally Bay = 1 BP, 2 GP
Add to the list, bloggers!
@goon:
Since you posted first, I’m going to make yours. I’ll have it up in a bit. Is there any specific body shape you’d want?
___BEGIN TRANSMISSION___
@Epic Takedown2010:
The reason why many people pick choice “B” in your multiple choice answer is simple logic.
Choice A seems to be a bit too far-fetched to be possible.
Choice C seems to also be unlikely, due to the fact that you “seem” to know only as much info as the rest of us non-HI bloggers, however, this is only a basic assumption. Also, much of the HI team’s names are known about.
Choice D sounds exceedingly unlikely, for 2 reasons. 1, if you did know the latest time that BTA COULD come out, it would increase the plausibility of Choice C, which is unlikely. 2, if you did know this kind of info, wouldn’t you have told us already?
As for your comment about the Leviathan, your thoughts are kinda close, but this is actually a bit closer: Darksyde, minus the 2 rectangles,minus the 2 “mandibles”, rotated about 180 degrees, the inner and outer sections slightly thinner, and the outer “wings” with a more more extreme curve that is circular, not straight.

Good day, you cheeky little teabags.
Another idea! This came to me while I was in the shower. Don’t ask, PLEASE!
Destroyer Jr.
Class: 4
GP used: 16/16
Primary Weapons: 2 3-Parallels, 2 Heavy Cannons
Secondary Weapons: 2 Seekers, 1 Ally Bay
Description: A chip off the old block. Destroyer Jr. can smash through lines of enemies without breaking a sweat.
Build: he’s supposed to look like a Destroyer from BT2, but smaller. I don’t know how that’ll work; I’ll leave it up to you for now.
I tried to make it seem like a Destroyer, but avatar tanks don’t have the large rotating MG, so I stuck with 2 heavy cannons. Plus, he’s a Jr., which makes him somewhat smaller than the original Destroyer. Seems fair, right?
@speed dude
i have word 07
and on that you cant highlitght stuff
Also,
@Takedown:
I choose B.
A: It just doesn’t seem right. You don’t see famous people sitting at home on their computer, playing at HI, when he should be making his fans happy, and buying chihuahuas and getting richer, and ODing on Chill Pills, and other things celebrities and other famous people do.
C: You are NOT undercover. HI would never do anything so… so… DISHONORABLE!!! *takes Chill Pill* What I meant was, if HI was going to send in a spy, they would have given us some sort of clue or hint, because that’d be the right thing to do, in Goony terms.
D: WAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *takes Chill Pill* You obviously do NOT know the BTA release date, because 1. I can tell you are guessing at BP/GP costs and amounts, and 2. NO ONE KNOWS THE RELEASE DATE! NO ONE! NOT META KNIGHT, NOT SPEED DUDE, NOT PTK7, NOT SILENT SHADOW, NOT ME, NOT EVEN THE HI TEAM, AND CERTAINLY NOT YOU, TAKEDOWN! NO ONE!!! NO ONE, YA HEAR? NO ONE!!! *coughs violently* *drinks glass of water and takes whole bottle of Chill Pills with it, before SWAT team arrives to take Goon for a “drive down the road”*
So, yeah. That’s my reason I think it’s B. It just seems to make more sense to hear of a grown man, with a wife, who plays a game with bubbles that shoot bullets made of more bubbles. Speaking of which, where do the bubble bullets come from? Hmmm… The world may never know…
Also, while I’m recuperating deep in a secret military base in the darkest, sappiest corners of the Canadian tundra, I’d like to apologize to any eardrums(and feelings) that were damaged by my outburst on choice D. I don’t know what the heck made me snap.
Maybe it’s these Chill Pills. Hmmm… nah.
Maybe it’s my imagination. Could it? No way I could just be making this up, right? RIGHT?
Maybe it’s my parents. Yep, they’re getting older… and crankier… and crazier… and Chill Pill intoleranter(?)…
Maybe it’s my homework, which is crazy hard, mind you. And no one really cares if I struggle, but that’s for another post, not this one. *sigh*
Maybe it’s this huge leech on the back of my leg that I found while swimming in the river 2 days ago. The Mounties(I got transferred to them since the American SWAT team has no power in Canada) are too squeemish to remove this new “friend” of mine. *leech makes funny sucking noises* *too grossed out by the leech “friend” to scratch the tickly feeling it’s causing* Wonder what it means… Oh well. That’s not important right now.
Maybe it’s this glitchy drive that I’m using. *pounds it* *computer drive becomes sad, and forces me to give it a band-aid*
Who knows… Hey, do you guys feel funny, or is it just me? Gah… *leech looks happy* *Goon soon faints, which shocks the Mounties so much, that they fall off their horses XD*
*wakes up an hour later to find that the Mounties released him to the SWAT team, in which they released him back home on “goon” behaviour, and that they also took my new leech “friend” away and sent him to a leech rehabilitation center for ODing on Goon blood(which, remind you, has large amounts of Chillite, the main ingredient of Chill Pills)*
“Home sweet home.” *Goon begins to feel sore from pounding the heck out of the computer drive, and having his blood pumped out by a massive leech* “And nothing beats home sweet home more than a tablespoon of Chill Pills…”
“Aw crud.” *sirens*
10 minutes later…
Goon: “Ouch, not too tight. I know I went off the deep end with these ridiculously addicting pills, but you don’t have to choke off my air supply with this failure of a straightjacket.”
Huge, angry, scarily muscled, police officer: “Shaddup, ya goon.”
Goon: “Right…”
*Goon gasps for air as the bulky officer purposely chokes him with straightjacket*
Until next time, good day!
P.S. No Goons, leeches, SWAT officers, Mounties, horses or bloggers were hurt during the making of this post… I hope.
P.P.S. This is one of the largest posts I have ever made, with the most grammar, spelling, and sentence editing I have ever done on HI, no bragging intended of course.
P.P.P.S. Good day!

@silent shadow,
I will have the last two done within an hour.
scrath that, I will have the devestation done. I will leave the others for the other creators.
And here she is…
http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab90/jr_racer/Devastator.png
I put in an extra 4 auto small guns because there were 4 gp’s left. I hope you like it.
Sorry guys, I doubt I’ll be able to do any tanks for a while; it’s a really busy week and I have a lot to do. I’ll probably get back to it within two weeks. Thanks for understanding!
__BEGIN TRANSMISSION___
Great job with the Devastation, speed dude! I never really thought about mounting the massive cannons on the “wings”. I always thought about mounting those weapons in the center of the tank, but that’s just me.
__TRANSMISSION TERMINATED___
one more thing: @speed dude: there isn’t any room for the 4 autos on devastator:
-2 massive cannons (8 GP each=16 GP)
-2 heavy cannons (2 GP each=4 GP)
16 4=20
So either put 2 heavies, 4 autos, or 1 heavy and 2 autos.
__BEGIN TRANSMISSION___
@speed dude and Meta Knight G, I know you may think my grammar is bad, but the name of the tank is “Devastation”, not “Devasator”. The reason for this is the word for what the tank leaves in its wake after going through an area: “Devastation”, not for its name based on what it does: “Devastator”.
@speed dude: I have confirmed Meta Knight G’s math on the Gun Points using the youtube video and released screenshots. The tank’s design is exactly what it said in the post for it: 2 Massive Cannons, 2 Heavy Cannons, no more, no less. Just trying to help. Though those extra 4 cannons would have been useful…….too bad it is impossible.
__TRANSMISSION TERMINATED___
@ speed dude
i realised you can because my mouse settings were
on auto double click thingy ma jig but now i got a new problem
MY COMPUTER DOESNT HAVE PAINT
can you upload stuff on photobucket something other than a paint thing… or doc
please people
if you know the release date just tell us…………………………………………………………………………………………………..or i will organise a mob of ninja assasans, who i happen to know love BT, to come over there and make shure you dont get out of the bilding before you do. or not. depends on the mood i am in. but bewhere
Has anyone been working on my ideas that I mentioned before, up there?
Thanks guys.
Guys, I have an important question to ask.
You know we’ll be able to resize our bubbles, of course.
You also know we’ll be able to resize our WEAPONS.
Now, when we resize a weapon, how will it affect us, besides giving us bigger bullets, of course.
I.E. will it cost BP/GP to resize your weapon? If so, then how would the gun-resize-costing system work?
Also, I have a few weapons ideas in case you want to use them for your next BT game. Most of these are just modifications to old weapons.
Sticky Seekers: launches a bubble missile that will stick to your enemy, slowing it down completely.
2-Shot Spread: fires 2 bullets spread out.
Super Heavy Cannon: fires single, heavy rounds that drastically damages an enemy.
Shock Missiles: fires a missile, which, when it hits an enemy, emits a medium-sized EMP wave, stunning any enemy within the blast radius.
MG Auto.: a machine gun that automatically targets enemies.
Hvy. Auto.: a heavy turret that fires upon enemies automatically.
Decoy Bay: deploys a small bubble tank which attracts enemy tanks, in which they fire upon it until it is destroyed.
Triple Spread MG: fires 3 bullets, spread out in rapid succession.
Confusion Drones: launches a drone that attaches to an enemy, causing the tank to fire upon other enemy tanks until either the tank or the drone is destroyed.
Super Mines: lays mines at a much faster rate; each mine doing massive damage to an enemy.
EMP: fires a short-range, electro-magnetic pulse, which stuns any enemies within its radius indefinetely.
Sticky Mines: lays a mine, and when an enemy hovers over it, the mine explodes, stickifying the enemy.
Heckfire Missiles: fires missiles that, instead of being seeking, go straight forward, until it hits an enemy, in which it does massive damage to it.
Super Bullet Buster: rapidly fires bubbles that can block incoming enemy bullets, missiles, and drones.
Super Ally Bay: summons a single, more powerful tank to fight by your side.
2-Shot Heavy: fires 2 heavy bullets in side-by-side fashion.
3-Shot Heavy: fires 3 heavy bullets in side-by-side fashion.
Sticky Infect: launches a drone that, when it infects, also stickifies a tank, making it immoble, yet still able to fire, until the infection is complete.
Teleportation Drone: fires a small drone that teleports to nearb enemies.
Curse you, English language!
nearb = nearby
Sorry for the quintruple post, chaps, but I recall a very good idea someone mentioned a while back.
It was about those “unseen” abilities, such as the Teleport or the Shield.
This guy said that you should be able to check in boxes with the corresponding ablities. Well, I think it’s a totally brilliant idea, but how much would these abilities cost(since you have to pay BP/GP to check in the boxes)?
Shield(Fighter 2, Balanced Fighter 1): __ GP
Teleport(Sniper 1): __ GP
Super Teleport(Sniper 2): __ GP
Disassemble(Ghost Sniper): __ GP
I’d love to see this idea implemented in the game. People who post ideas like this are what make the game developers popular, in Goony terms.
I don’t like the box checking idea at all. Either 1. You will check a box, and every other box will be unchecked. There are much smoother ways of doing this without using boxes and a check mark system.
2. You will be able to check multiple boxes and have multiple secondary weapons and abilities. Personally, I don’t like the idea of havin more than one or two.
It doesn’t really matter. Looking at the screenshots, it seems like there’s already a system in place determining the secondary weapons/abilities.
@nemo: yes, but the shield, teleport, and disassemble abilities don’t have any corresponding part, so what would show up on the “drag screen” when you select one of those?
If you watch the video on youtube, it shows you which secondary weapon your tank is equiped with.
I imagine that if you select a weapon, as soon as you place it on your tank, the secondary weapon information will update. If it’s an ability, then as soon as you click it, the information will update.
goon the larg troop and auto mg was my idia look
doom cannon: hits 1 thing and it kills any small units highly attacks large
giga spray: the pierce bullet bomb of bt2 but sprays double the bullets and instant explode

WOW! I was gone a LONG time! Do you know how many posts have been put on since I’ve posted? But that’s because I’ve been having a lot of problems with my computer. I see that a lot of progress is being made among making tank ideas. Don’t forget everyone! Contribute to my list of GP values! We need to get that online!
Oh! One more thing! I think I’m going to set up my Photobucket today. Since we would have multiple tank creators who make ideas come to life, do you guys think that we should ask certain creators to be assigned to certain tank designs? Then we would have less confusion.
__BEGIN TRANSMISSION___
@Epic Takedown 2010, your idea of assigning certain tank creators to the currently 9 tank designs should(in theory) definitely make the whole process of designing and creating tanks easier, smoother, and less confusing. However, assigning the ideas to the creators should be done by choice.
__TRANSMISSION TERMINATED___
@freekill:
Yeah, sorry I didn’t take the time to thoroughly read through all of your ideas. There’s just too many of them, if you ask me. Try posting these ideas when BT3 development begins. Trust me, you’ll become more popular that way.
All of this post was stated in Goony terms; human terms may not apply to this, be warned!
So There is going to be a BT3? Cool.
hello i am wathcing u
Don’t forget about progress! Important question for Q&A or…
Your progress is the answer to…
What part are you currently working on?
Awesome tanks:…
Put some max leveled tanks from Bubble Tanks 2 in BTA!How about even better tanks? Will that be possible?
Hi, Me again, well for some of you, i have game for all ye screamer out there. The game is called Shell Core Command, it’s to keep yall busy so these people can finish the game instead of readind all these post that all say the same thing, WE CAN’T WAIT!!!!….. Anyway, the game is kinda like BTA but (in my opinion i don’t think it will or is better than BTA from the looks of it,) here’s a random site with the game http://www.freeworldgroup.com/games8/gameindex/shellcorecommand.htm
You can build your own ship which is pretty cool! Have Fun!
PS. if you find any info on number 2 of it please tell me. (But i don’t think number 2 will be better than BTA.) Thanks!
How many primary weapons can you get?
Secondary weapons?
My awesome idea(s) of weapons:
1.Nuclear mine pulse
There will be normal mines. When you hit the button for the secondary weapon, a pulse of mines with a range bigger than a bubblefield will be realeased.
2.Cannon MG
It’s a MG that shoots Heavy Cannon (HC) bullets that ends up doing high damage.
3. Seeker Trap
Lay a mine that explodes out seekers.
4. Poison carrier Trap
Same as Seeker Trap but explodes out Doomsday Infect sekers.
See more in comments! B’bye!
Freekill117, be more creative in weapons!e.g.
Weapons:HC MG,NMP,RBB,RMC:Rotating Massive Cannon=OMG!!!,Mitosis Doomsday Infect,Nuclear Stun Burst…
That is being creative,… It’s my opinion.
Are you sure you were joking when you said that the release date would be in 2012?
@Silent Shadow
Of course!Why would one be allowed to say, “I’ve got dibs on doing this tank!”?
I had nothing better to do, so I made this.
Basic Cannon: fires single bubble rounds.
Heavy Cannon: fires a single, heavy bullet that deals great damage.
2-Shot Parallel: fires 2 bullets in side-by-side fashion.
Machine Gun: fires single rounds in rapid succession.
3-Shot Spread: fires 3 bullets spread out.
3-Shot Parallel: fires 3 bullets in side-by-side fashion.
Shield: rapidly generates a forcefield which negates enemy bullets.
Mines: lays down a mine, which, when detonated, deals massive damage to an enemy.
5-Shot Parallel: fires 5 bullets in side-by-side fashion.
Small Auto: automatically targets an enemy and fires upon it.
Seekers: launches a single bubble missile that homes in on an enemy.
Sticky Cannon: fires a bullet that renders an enemy immoble.
5-Shot Spread: fires 5 bullets, spread out.
Area Burst: emits a large wave of energy, damaging enemies within its radius.
Stun Burst: emits a wave of energy, stunning any enemy within its radius.
Super Machine Gun: fires single rounds at very rapid speed, dealing great damage.
Pierce Shot: fires a single round, which can pass through multiple enemies, damaging them.
Teleport: warps your bubble tank to your mouse cursor’s position.
Strong Pierce: passes through multiple enemies, causing them massive damage.
Super Teleport: rapidly launches your bubble tank to your mouse’s position.
2-Shot Machine Gun: fires 2 bullets side-by-side in rapid succession.
Starburst: fires a bubble, which, when detonated, emits 360º of pierce shots.
Dual Large Machine Gun: fires 2 large shells in rapid succession.
Area Burst Cannon: fires a bullet that explodes upon impact with enemy.
Sticky Burst: launches 360º of sticky bullets.
Ally Bay: summons a fighter that swarms around your mouse, attacking nearby enemies.
Bullet Buster: launches a bullet that blocks enemy bullets.
Massive Cannon: fires a huge shell, which deals massive amounts of damage.
Mitosis Seekers: launches a seeker that spilts up into many more seekers.
Drone Conversion: emits a wave of energy, which turns enemy drones into missiles, which attack your enemy.
Leech Cannon: fires a bullet that attacks an enemy, and sends its bubbles back to you.
Doomsday Infect: launches a drone that attacks, infects, and spawns more drones.
3-Shot Machine Gun: fires 3 bullets side-by-side in rapid succession.
Orbital Seekers: launches missiles that orbit around your tank, attacking nearby enemies that get too close.
Exploding Pierce: fires a bullet that explodes upon impact and passes through multiple enemies.
Disassemble: spilts your tank into many pieces, making you invincible, yet unable to fire.
This catalog of weapon descriptions should help new BT players to get to know their weapons better.
Good day!
Once again, here are my ideas. They’re backing up, people! Please start working on them so I can get them off of me! *gasps for air*
Battlestation
Class: 6
PW: 3 Heavy Cannons, 3 Machine Guns
SW: Massive Cannon
Dscrpt.: The Battlestation was made to destroy anything in sight. Please use responsibly.
Build: however you want.
Destroyer Jr.
Class: 4
PW: 2 3-Shot Parallels, 2 Heavy Cannons
SW: 2 Seekers, 1 Ally Bay
Dscrpt.: A chip off the old block, Destroyer Jr. can smash through lines of enemies without breaking a sweat.
Build: similar to the BT2 Destroyer.
Super Millifighter
Class: 2
PW: 2 Machine Guns
SW: 2 Seekers
Dscrpt.: Super Millifighter was designed to succeed where the originals failed.
Build: similar to its original, but make it more menacing. >:)
BFT Destroyer:
Class: 6
PW: 3 Heavy Cannons
SW: 7 Ally Bays
Dscrpt.: A very large tank built to obliterate any enemy it sees.
Build: it MUST take up almost all of the screen, so use as many bubbles as you can find. NOTE: by almost all of the screen, I mean around 7/8 of it, so yeah, it’s going to be huge. Also, place the weapons anywhere you like.
Is ANYONE going to start making these ideas come to life?
I don’t mean to sound cranky, but as I said, these ideas are piling up, and I’m running out of Chill Pills fast.
*goes to goon’s house and steals all of his chill pills* bta is like a engine. It runs and makes the world and bubbletanks around. You use chill pills to clean it out. *chill pill FAIL* I ate a bubble tank instead of a chill pill! Uh oh.*mutates to ultimate bubble tank monster*
wait, you cant mutate into a bubbletank by eating one. it’ll just fill your insides will bubble bullets until you explode or go to the bathroom. *messy messy messy*
*Cannot find my Chill Pills*
Wha- but I just sat them here a minute ago! *opens a hatch* RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!! *a squadron of 15,000 pure, terror-hounds come flooding out the door*
Find my Chill Pills and eradicate the thief! For the Goon! *hounds start cheering and howling* Now, ATTACK!
*1 hound comes back with a piece of a destroyed Chill Pill*
No. This cannot be happening. Whoever the beast was, who took my Chill Pills, they must be stopped before it destroys my whole Chill Pill container - no, the entire pharmacitical world!
*finds a glitch in BT2 to upgrade the BFT Carrier to the BFT Destroyer(mentioned in one of my ideas above)*
Go and stop the thief before he causes more damage! *BFT Destroyes grunts in agreement and “hovers” away, destroying anything that it doesn’t like*
This skirmish is escalating quickly… a little too quickly for my tastes… and I have no more BP to spend on buying more bubble tanks. Let’s just hope the thief isn’t too powerful, or I may have to resort to… *gulp* hacking. *dun dun DUNNNN*
Huh. It seems to come to the time where the game is close to completion and fans don’t really know what to say. What to do…
Oh! I know! Ergh, no I don’t…
OH! Wait, no…
Hmm…
*Jeopardy music*…
Maybe…
How about…
Or maybe…
Or…
Umm…
Okay…
Hmph…
WAIT! WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT!!! I have the answer!
This morning, I went to check out the site that switchview mentioned! Try it! I liked the game myself!
__BEGIN TRANSMISSION___
@All who read this and aren’t HI. We seem to be having 2 problems. A) BTA is not released yet.
B) Tank ideas seem to be piling up.
Solutions:
To problem A-
Wait until BTA is released.
*Angry fans/gamers shout phrases not repeatable in writing.* *Space-time is distorted, causing a visible dimensional portal in the air.* *Silent Shadow flees through distortion to alternate universe.* *Fans/gamers gasp as one* Other solution: play other games, enjoy other media forms such as: magazines, books, movies, or posting and come up with tank/enemy ideas to occupy our minds and time.
Which brings us to problem B>>>
Solutions:
@All tank creators and tank designers. I know I can’t speak for everyone, but I say that we call for a vote to make a decision about Epic Takedown 2010’s idea to assign tank ideas to individual creators, if we all decide to do this, than anyone who participates in this project does so by choice. Meaning, tank creators choose tank idea(s) to work on, and other tank creators choosing any idea(s) that are not being worked on TO work on, by choice of the tank creators.
Sorry for the long-winded and kinda political post, but I think that it needed to be done. Again, as always, only trying to help.
__TRANSMISSION TERMINATED___
_BEGIN GOON_
@Silent Shadow:
Weren’t designers aleady choosing which tank ideas to work on, or am I not seeing something here?
_GOON TERMINTATED(ow)_
__BEGIN TRANSMISSION___
@Goon, why did you turn my post format into another Goon pun/joke?
Supplementary: As for your comment: “Weren’t designers aleady choosing which tank ideas to work on”, yeah, that’s the way it’s been, I’m just trying to make sure, that if, by some miracle of whatever deity(ies) you pray to, we’d have a plan in place if all tank creators suddenly had a LOT of free time AND internet access, tank ideas could be completed without causing static, or more idea build-up.
__TRANSMISSION TERMINATED___
@Silent Shadow:
I dunno. It’s kind of like asking me why my name is Goon, in a way.
Hi, Me again, how bout a mine that shoots bullets or be able to lay turrets?
ok, I redid the gun points, and I decided to do this…
http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab90/jr_racer/Devastator.png
@speed dude:
Uhh, you forgot to change the written stats as well.
@everyone else:
Is anyone going to build my tanks? Come on, I feel left out as an idea maker. Plus, my ideas are piling up, and my Chill Pills won’t last for much longer.
Battlestation
Destroyer Jr.
Super Millifighter
BFT destroyer
Yay! Thank you very much, Meta Knight! Hope has been restored. *goes to buy more Chill Pills*
I especially like the way you designed the size comparison between Super Millifighter and BFT Destroyer. It helps to add to its humongousness(if that’s even a word).
These tanks do rock much of my socks off! Now I can sit and think up some new ideas without those 4 tanks sitting on top of me. Thanks a bunch!
Wow, 10 minutes haven’t even gone by and I already have an idea. The blood must be flowing to my brain again.
Bubbl-o-blast
Class: 3
GP used: 12/12
Primary Weapon: Exploding Pierce(7 GP)
Secondary Weapon: Area Burst Cannon(5 GP)
Description: If you are a pyro-maniac, then this tank is for you.
If those GP costs are off, please let me know, so I can fix it. Thanks.
According to this link, exploding pierces cost 2, but something tells me they are limited to level 1 or 2, although the video shows otherwise (they put two explosive pierces on the class 6)
Also, according to the video, area burst cannons cost 2 GP each.
So with your Bubbl-o-blast tank, class limits aside, you’ve used 7/12 GP.
Hooray for update #4! From now on, my name will link to my entire tank album.
WHOA! Guys, I just noticed that we’ve reached 500 posts! HOORAY! Is that a new record?
@The World Will Go Black:
Uhh, we said that maybe we could use the old blogs for the blog war, not senseless SPAMSPAM.
Now, where was I? Oh yeah.
I’ve almost completed my “secret project!” All I need to do is tweak it a bit.
The insane power this project can call upon SHOULD be strong enough to protect me against the Shadows’ pathetic assaults… I hope.
INCOMING_TRANSMISSION
Exlus Goonius(using the Translator): Goon, I have studied your project, and I’m afraid I have some bad news.
Goon: What is it, my lord?
Exlus: Your project… it emanates pure evil. I sense it. Goon, there shall be no victory… ONLY SUFFERING.
Goon: You do not understand, my leige. I MUST use this power. It’s the only thing that can ward off dimension-warping hazards such as these Shadows.
Exlus: Then I guess I must allow it… But please, do not let this overwhelming power consume your mind. We do not need to risk losing our sense of honor and allowing the other galaxies to begin attacking us for being evil.
Goon: I will try, my lord.
TRANSMISSION_FINALIZED
*Goon sees that his project is finished, and happily strolls to the lab to test it out.*
What happens when Goon activates the project?
A. The ancient Goons of Old Exlus Goonius, the Iron Vokkers, arise from the dead, engaging the Shadows in an epic battle.
B. A single brainwashed Shadow is brought before the might of Exlus Goonius, and the other Shadows must fight this brainwashed Shadow in a battle of trans-dimensional proportions.
C. Silent Shadow suddenly appears before the Hall of the Goons, and sacrificed to the Fire Dogs, but not before being experimented on; he has caused the HONORABLE Goons many a problem.
D. Goon is granted the power of explosive diarrhea, and uses it to his advantage…
Only I know what happens next, but I like to keep you guessing.
If you find the blog war unacceptable even in this old blog, let me know via telephone, or why not meet me in person to yell at me?
@Goon
I choose “E” The Termination of Exlus Goonius and Goon civilization.
*flicks TD Scythe, charging TD cell*
Galactic Knights, attack Exlus Goonius and destroy it for the world’s stench of malevolence!
(5^5=3125)
Okay, Silent Shadow, since Steph has, sadly, decided for us to end this “blog war” for good, I’m going to try and make this as quick and painless as possible for both of us.
The answer was Z. Goon’s finished secret project issues a trans-dimensional, Goonzese-translated message proposing a peace treaty with the “Abyss Council” and surrounding empires, which null all theorized malevolence within my army and theirs. Once signed, new trade routes establish between these regions, greatly enhancing both empires’ technological and biological capabilities. Any opposing armies are easily eliminated by the 2 new unstoppable allies. All of the non-believers are eliminated, and peace is established for a long time to come.
The end… I think.
Whew. That was kind of hard, but at least it’ll keep us out of trouble until another idiot wants to start a new “blog war.”
__BEGIN TRANSMISSION___
Goon, the Abyss Council has told me to accept your peace treaty. The war is over at THIS site. *ear-deafening static* Abyss Council *ear-bleeding static*! Galactic Knights, return to Trans-Dimensional Space at once! We have other more important matters to attend to. *entire Das Galaktische Knights army warps back to TD Space*
I will try to set this up on BlogSpot, if it obeys the rules. *more ear-bleeding static* legal stuff!
__TRANSMISSION TERMINATED___
BUT…………..I WAS GOING TO END THE WAR WITH AN EPIC RIFT THAT DESTROYS ALL OF US IN A POST-APOCOLYPTIC EXPLOSION!
I would have just teleported…
Why are we still talking in this old blog?
it would have caused a rift in the space time continium (however you spell it) and everything would be sucked inside
this game better be good!
