@Radmanraschke We are not planning to port Pocket Tanks to consoles yet, but Nintendo Switch is where we would start. It’s tempting. http://twitter.com/mikew_blitwise/status/1231913958723981313

@joe_real I’m planning to add a button to sort the weapons alphabetically. Should be soon because 300+ weapons is a little daunting to search. Hehe http://twitter.com/mikew_blitwise/status/1231913089928441856

@ShaneRMonroe I do have code somewhere for a DOS version of Scorched Tanks. It was half finished, before I converted it to Pocket Tanks. :) http://twitter.com/mikew_blitwise/status/1231912670384750592

@paul_mclellan Thanks Paul! This is my dream hobby, and it’s awesome that I have the encouragement to keep on coding Pocket Tanks. It has been an adventure of a lifetime. http://twitter.com/mikew_blitwise/status/1231560796859179008

I would love an excuse to make a Scorched Tanks t-shirt! That game needs a properly modern logo made for it anyways. :) https://t.co/AnfznhtCbq http://twitter.com/mikew_blitwise/status/1231559799025917952

@ShadiO New weapons for Pocket Tanks on iOS and Andriod this week or bust! :) Back-end server challenges kept us from launching v2.5.0 last week. http://twitter.com/mikew_blitwise/status/1231558979572129793

@ElderGodLoki Naturally a port of Pocket Tanks to Nintendo Switch makes the most sense. As far as porting to PS4 or XBox One, that requires game pad input. Console ports are not planned at the moment, but it would be fun! http://twitter.com/mikew_blitwise/status/1231558200744402946

@TheYuGiOhPlayer V2.5.0 which includes the Puzzle Pack will be out any day now. These new weapons required updated engine tech, so we have to get everyone’s app updated before they can play any more online games... and that’s tricky. ;) http://twitter.com/mikew_blitwise/status/1231556997906128896
