Tank or Treat is an art collab, wrapped in a cute little RPG-ish game.

This started as a simple idea. A very basic game where you walk up to houses, knock on a door, and get treated to originaly characters dressed up for halloween. Just a simple presentation for a fun art collab.

Artists just needed to make 2 simple images. One showing their character(s) answering the door, and a second where they are giving out a nice treat, or playing some kind of trick. And a simple candy icon that would unlock a Newgrounds medal.

I whipped up some templates and generated 100 generic-ass suburban houses, and created 48 slots for people that wanted to live in simpler apartments, and opened up applications. All 148 spots filled up pretty quick!

I then made tools so people could use some pre-fab decorations to spook up their houses (and got a lot of help from @RavioliBox, @MayaLaCookie and @SereneFalconer to create the decorations), and a more advanced tool for drawing their own custom house art. Everyone got a pre-made house and pre-made door image, and were free to do what they wanted to make them their own.

And the things these artists started making made my simple presentation game look like DOG SHIT in comparison, so I had to up my game.

I added in some simple animations and a soundboard the artists could use to spice up their art reveals, and got to work making the game a lot more immersive.

Again, thanks to @RavioliBox, @MayaLaCookie and @SereneFalconer, We were able to bang out a HUGE roster of playable characters, and a bunch of fun NPCs to help fill the world out. And @Albe, @ConnorGrail, @Plantgamer09, @realsugarlord, @Spadezer @Aalasteir, @TechnoDragon28, @PoundToundHound, and @ACTG all showed up to provide some sweet tracks, along with @RealMrSnuggles who also whipped up the main title theme for the game (and may or may not be IN the game).

But you know what, it STILL wasn't good enough. We filled it full of easter eggs, dialogues that only happen for specific characters, and some simple, linear quest chains. Lots of fun lil surprises all over to discover (and yeah, lots of secret medals along the way).

I'm so excited for y'all to play this. Everyone involved put in so much love and effort, and I could not be prouder of how it came out.

Visit every house, and talk to as many NPCs as you can! That's the key to making things happen in the game!
