About netPanzer the Game
2020-01-15
Players can fight until their units are destroyed -- then respawn and keep on going. The game is real-time, but it's based on quick tactical action and unit management. Battles progress quickly and constantly; in fact, they never let up. There is no stop in the action because there is no waiting for resources to be collected and converted into weaponry. Players can join or leave multiplayer games at any time.

In 2015 -after a couple of years without any Developer signing responsible for Netpanzer- our all well known Player "[+P]fu" took over Development and put Code to Sourceforge Network. Being not a "professional" Developer, he teached himself in how to code C++ and learned a lot about the game by reviewing Code basis. After a while he was even good enough in Coding to fix well known annoying Bugs in Netpanzer. So thanks to him, the Version 0.8.7 was released on 2016-04-09.
