hello everybody and welcome to another video today I have a super exciting announcement
regarding the arms trade tycoon tanks game for those of you who have not heard of this game but
have played sprocket or games like that trust me you're going to want to stay tuned for this
cutting right to the chase though arms trade tycoon tanks has finally hit Kickstarter today
we're going to be going over what their stretch goals are the support tiers and last but certainly
not least the free game demo if you're too excited or impatient to wait for a specific part of the
video I'll be adding time stamps as well as a link to the Kickstarter at the top of the description
and before you write the game off immediately because of the somewhat mixed reputation
Kickstarter has gotten over the years i have some information that will hopefully calm your concerns
i want to preface all this by assuring you that i have not been sponsored to say or show any
of what you will see in this video i genuinely support this project and want to see it succeed
regardless of if it benefits me directly first and most important the devs have already found
a publisher for the game this is actually one that many of you may recognize called micro pros if you
don't immediately recognize them from the name you will definitely recognize the games they've
helped create such as civilization and xcom if that's not enough the team behind the game have
previously worked on games like world of tanks and war thunder showing that they have the know-how
to create a game of this scope to me though the most important thing is that unlike many
projects you can go right now and download the free demo for the game and play it for yourself
i was lucky enough to get early access to both that and the kickstarter info to make this video
and i've really enjoyed it so far but we'll save that for the end of the video let's start with
a general overview of what this game is and then we can look at the kickstarter arms trade tycoon
tanks is a game which allows you to take control of a company who begins creating and selling tanks
this will start in world war 1 and seamlessly transition through the different eras all the way
to modern tanks now unlike a game like sprocket which i did specifically bring up when i was in
a call with them this is not just you designing the tank and then driving it but rather you get to
design produce test and finally sell your tanks throughout the game you will bid for contracts
against other competing design companies while researching new technology and improving your
company i think that generally describes the game so let's move on to what the stretch goals of the
kickstarter campaign are now there are a lot of these so i'm not going to go over every single
one but i will try to hit the ones that i think will probably interest you guys the most as i
said before the link is in the description if you want to go and read every single goal for yourself
the first goal of the kickstarter is to reach 10 000 of funding which will fund the core game
allowing you to play as britain the first stretch goal after that will unlock germany followed
by the us russians and french i'll probably be showing a list of goals on screen right now for
you guys because there are goals in between these nations so i don't want to confuse any of you
some other interesting ones are the armor tree goal which will allow you to design your own armor
the ones that will interest you all most aside from the nations though would have to be the pvp
mode as well as physics-based battles and the last goal of being able to control your own tank in 3d
battles the physics based battles would bring a system similar to war thunder to the game which
would make this in my opinion one of the most interesting tank games ever so what will you
get for helping reach these goals let's take a look at that now i highly recommend you go and
look for yourself at these different supporter packs but i'll try to briefly cover some of the
interesting ones you can support with as little as one dollar but in order to secure yourself a
digital copy of the game you will need to pledge 21. if you really like what you see you can
contribute either a little bit more at around 67 to get yourself a boxed edition of the game along
with a bunch of other rewards if you are in love with the game and want to throw your checkbook at
it they have some really cool tiers that allow you to actually directly contribute to the final game
this includes having your own custom decal or coat of arms added to the game which anyone can use or
you can have yourself added as either a selectable tanker executive company leader or if you want to
donate the maximum amount you can actually have your own custom tank added to the game all of
these will have a special icon to indicate them being kickstarter backers as well as a description
explaining them many of these are limited slots so if these sound like something you want to do
you should consider doing so sooner rather than later the game is planned to be released in beta
by the end of 2022 and given how solid the demo version already is i think they will definitely
be able to hit that goal as for the demo itself as i mentioned already you can go and download it
right now to try it for yourself but keep in mind this is not even an alpha build of the game yet
so many features may or may not be finished or even in the final game that being said for a
demo the game runs remarkably well and they have included a fairly comprehensive tutorial so you
shouldn't have any trouble with getting into the game i will admit i failed my first playthrough
but that's mostly because i was experimenting with how everything worked one last thing worth
mentioning is that if you unfortunately cannot support the campaign financially there is still
a way you can help get more added to the game they have added some social media goals for
the game such as adding it to your wish list on steam or following their various social pages to
get everything from a wallpaper pack to getting some additional prototype tanks added to the game
i'm really excited to get the opportunity to help support a game like this and i think you guys will
really enjoy it especially given the success of my sprocket videos which is a game with a similar
audience if you have additional questions regarding the game or kickstarter please do
not hesitate to either leave them below or join their official discord for the game and ask the
devs yourself obviously they will be quite busy with the game but i'll do my best to communicate
with them to get answers to any questions i see popping up more than others i do encourage you
to go back and check out my older videos on this game before you do though as i've been following
this game since they reached out to me almost 2 years ago it'll actually be exactly two years at
the end of this month so there is already a lot of work put into this game to get to this point
just wanted to add one additional thing at the end of the video here i plan to be streaming
the demo of the game sometime over the next few days and hopefully if everything goes
as planned at least some of the devs may be able to join in in the chat to answer your comments so
keep an eye out for that and i hope to see you there i think that's more than enough for this
video though because i don't want to take up too much of your time links will be in the description
for all the relevant pages for arms trade tycoon tanks which i recommend checking out you can also
find links to all my stuff so please follow me on my instagram twitter my new tick talk and join my
discord if you haven't already thanks so much for watching and have a great rest of your day
