I'm just thankful Tankmas 2024 existed more than Tankmas 2023 cause I sure as hell don't wanna go through that again. (Looking at YOU, Tankmas 2022)

[Warining: An Opinion. Don't like it? Go away.]

Tankmas ADVENTure 2024 was at the most, decent for me, or as good o'l grandma would say: "I had better". I didn't know I was signing up to spend a december in a hotel ran by asshole ghosts who deserves to get sucked into Luigi's vaccum cleaner (Really, too bad I can't stone cold stunner each of them).

The highlights of this game are the new features, the sticker feature was annoying at first, you would get a card pack, get the cards, and then you'll lose them all the next time you log in. Eventually, the game's like "Screw it! Have all of them!" and gave you the cards each day instead. Although, I do like the idea of being able to have different emotes, so I like to see that get expanded upon. The pets? Can't go wrong with them, I enjoyed prancing around a unsupervised hotel with a SWF file floating around me. I know this was implimented before, but the side objectives are more involved this time, and I liked completing them and finding out about the characters I'm working with (The Box Dude's my favorite). Probably cause my computer hates you, but the arcade games were unplayable due to the immense lag. I'm very happy with the variety of the costumes there are, and pretty sure this is the most costumes we've had in a Tankmas game, love it! I'll say this, the present designs are pretty good! I like the uniqueness with each one, gives it a nice flare to them.

(P.S. - Please don't stop the candle gifts! They're always the best!)

As for the story and progression of Tankmas 2024, it's a big meh. Didn't really care or gotten involved in it as much compared to previous games. It was more less of "Burn yourself alive in the campfire until the asshole ghosts bring you into the hotel against their will." Personally speaking, it didn't latch onto me like before. Nothing more, nothing less.

Favorite Music: 'Snowflakes - Droid' & 'Drift - Phenometrologist'

In my opinion, Tankmas ADVENTure 2021 is still considered my favorite one. Because everything about it feels alive, so much effort was put into that one, and it was much more involved from any I've seen prior or after. If you ask me, Tankmas 2024 feels like a big o'l can of "Sorry about 2023, here's this as a compensation! ^^*". It got the job done, but could've been better. How so? Just look at Tankmas 2021.

I hope you have a VERY denominational Tankmas!
and a Merry Christmas (I know it's late so shut up)

It was a bit of a scramble to get Tankmas 2024 going, I only came in a month before launch and had to start the whole code base from scratch (which would've been impossible without the help from Jefvel, SplatterDash, and EliteMasterEric.) I also handled the writing but our pipeline for getting new story art assets in was intermingled with our pipeline with getting costumes so it was a bit chaotic, as well as the demands to keep plugging bugs that took away from time with things. I think the hotel worked really well as a set up and I had a lot of fun putting weird quests in there and giving NPCs their own dialogue with branching (and secret - try interacting with certain characters as themselves or related costumes) dialogue options.

It all comes down to organization next time around - being able to plan ahead means we can do cooler things. But as for looking at just "what this previous year did" as a source of inspiration, though you can take some things, I'd rather chart a new path then play the encore. Thanks for the feedback!

Man this Sonic game looks weird.

After sifting through all the Tankmas ADVENTures through the years and the 2022 version. Tankmas ADVENTure 2021 is the best one by far. In my opinion, it has the best music (aka 'Sehnsucht' by Phonometrologist and 'Tankmas in Toytown' by ProdMARROW are the best), it has the best artwork, it has the best present designs, and it has the best story/setup out of all of them.

I personally believe that this one had the most effort as I can see that. This one is what got me into looking forward to Tankmas ADVENTure each year. If I didn't get presents, candy, or anything special in a Christmas day, then I atleast have this to look forward to have Christmas Cheer.

I truly hope Tank ADVENTure 2024 will have the same ambitions and effort like this one. Thank you all, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Thanks for explaining the tradition here. Because all that came up when searching up 'Candle Day' was a damn Bath & Body Works sale.
