Alright, we’re kinda getting back to real life and we can tell you something about two «Tanki Online» parties we had this weekend.

At 4th of June we did small and very nice evening for close friends and partners in our friends’ WoodHouse Cafe.

At right pic you can see SUN, she’s one of the best project beta-testers. Cafe boss James is standing there too.

That evening may be called informal. Open party at June 6th may be called pure trash mess badaboom:

Almost a month has passed from the closed beta launch. There was about 600 testers who have discovered more than 200 bugs and helped us a lot by making notes and suggestions. Nevertheless, there’s still much work to do. We have plenty of ideas and of course there are bugs to fix. We’ll work hard on all this stuff during next months.

Now, we invite you to participate in open test of Tanki Online!

We just got back from Game Developers Conference in Moscow. We’re “Best game without publisher” and “Best technology”, hurray!

With a great satisfaction let us invite our readers to take part in closed beta-test of “Tanki Online” game.

To get your invite code please drop us a letter to tanki@alternativaplatform.com
We’ll be also glad to get your name, occupation, company name and a reason of interest (but we’ll send you invite code even without that).

The discussion is on the forum.

Please be constructive and positive to a painful debugging process.

Hurray!

We got a lot of questions about preparing models for Alternativa3D, so the engine could display them fast. Here’s a short help article from Makc for you. Let us know if you have more questions.

For online programming fans there’s a good service — wonderfl. From this moment it has Alternativa3D library connected, have fun.

It’s a global you-know-what, and Alternativa presents three new people in the team. To be honest, they’re here for several months already, talented and hardworking.

Mikhail Yesutin, Flash-engineer

Evgeniy Sushkov, 3D-artist

Olga Danilova, Flash-coder

Hurray!

We got more than 5800 registered users, and it’s really cool! However, our JIRA bug-tracking system thinks different — we began to have some troubles with users database.

Developers list :)

This system not popular among our users, so we decided to close automatic access. If you need to use it, drop us a line to management@alternativaplatform.com.

After waking up in a good condition, we took a walk to the centre of Milan (we completed business task already).

We almost missed second day of the conference, partly because we decided to take a short brake and to have a look around, partly because we agreed to change some things in our coming session. “Some changes” took whole day and night, but that didn’t prevent us from joining Customer Appreciation Event, to which people have been transported by a bunch of buses. It took place in a comfortable La Pelota place, dj was playing, and there were a lot of tasty food around, along with red wine and beer. It was really funny and cool, but we managed not to drink and to get away fast, in order to polish our tomorrow session to it’s best.
