We've made a huge progress since the Demo - it was quite a difficult period for us: Big optimization update, new characters, vehicle details, sounds, animation improvements are just a few things from our finished tasklist! There were like 5 waves of testing, 300+ fixes, plenty hours of hard work but eventually we are ready to share our world with You!
To all the guys, who helped with the beta testing : You are awesome - Thank You!! You've pointed out very crutial issues and found bugs that were hard to reproduce... As always we are happy to fulfill player's requests and implement Your cool ideas :)
We really hope that you'll like the game and be able to feel the mood that we've created!
Unfortunately, I also have some sad news... In December, our friend and the game main voice actor - Kamil "Kona" Black died due to Covid (the voice of commissioner Andrieyev) :( :( I promised him (posthumously) that we'll do our best to commemorate him by making a great game in which he'll stay forever...
Please keep your fingers crossed for the latest corrections and inform your friends about the game.

Crazy Rocks - About us
We are a small studio from Warsaw, Poland founded in 2015. We've released 2 games on Steam so far: Street Warriors Online (multiplayer brawler) and Ski Sniper (a funny Sniper game).
Since 2018, we cooperate with PlayWay game publisher - working on our exciting project - Contraband Police.
We are very happy about the current state of our game! We've managed to implement and test a huge amount of cool ideas such as proprietary vehicle system, character customization, random personal data generation, fighting AI, terrain shader, world streaming and a lot more. We also collaborate with great voice actors, thanks to which the atmosphere of the game is so unique. Along the way, of course, we had to overcome about 100,000 independent technical problems and even more design dilemmas, but all this has led us to the current state of our demo that you can play now!
We've received a lot of help from players so far for which we are very grateful! You helped us find and fix hard-to-repeat errors, highlighted important issues and gave us a lot of joy by leaving positive comments... Thank you !!! ːsteamhappyː
In about a month, Contraband Police: Prologue will be released, which will reveal more game content and mechanics, so wait patiently and cheer for us ;) We expect the full game to be released around February 2021

Development Update #5
Hi !
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. We've been very busy preparing the playable version of Contraband Police for you. Our prologue consists of 5 days. Each day You will learn something new about the game mechanics.
Day 1 - Papers You are a new officer at the border post - you learn how to check the documents of drivers who want to enter the territory of Akaristan.
Day 2 - Contraband You learn how to catch contraband smugglers and use basic tools.
Day 3 - Driving You are driving a police car for the first time. You take the arrested prisoners to a labor camp and go shopping in Vlad's hut.
Day 4 - Cargo You learn how to check transported goods and look for contraband in them.
Day 5 - Intervention One of the drivers breaks the barrier and escapes from the post - you have to catch him ... but this is just the beginning.
Our testing team is currently working to provide you with bug-free entertainment. Stay tuned for the playable version of Contraband Police !
Development Update #4
.. There are some situations where the police must eventually use weapons to stop criminals! In these dangerous moments you can often count on the support of your companions!
Attack the smugglers hideout on the old ruins, fight from covers and don't let your opponents surprise you!
Defeated criminals often have valuable ammunition and important mission items.
Stay tuned for more Contraband Police features soon !
Development Update #3
In Contraband Police drivers can carry various cargo. There are several groups of cargo including: Animals, Food, Households, Chemicals, Building Materials and Luggage.
To legally transport cargo to Acaristan, driver must have a valid transport document. It is your responsibility to check the compliance of the vehicle cargo with the transport document declaration.
The transport of some cargo may be prohibited on a given day - be alert to mission guidelines. Cargo objects can be easily counted using a cargo notebook.
You can also move individual objects from vehicle to the inspection area. This way you can discover cargo that is hidden deeper in the car.
Every cargo may additionally contain a hidden contraband!
Stay tuned for next updates,
Cheers !
Development Update #2
Dear fans!
Today I'd like to present you our unique system MIV™ (Movement Inside Vehicle) which is part of the overall Contraband Police vehicle system.
Getting into vehicles has never been so natural! Just open door and walk towards the seat - you'll be automatically pulled to it. While being inside, you can look around normally and change between possible seats using standard movement keys.
In some cases, you will be pulled into the vehicle and continue to move freely (see the movie below)
There is a special UI indicator (bottom-left corner) that shows your current position and possible transitions (red transitions are blocked e.g. due to closed door)
As you can see MIV™ allows us not only to search vehicle interior for contraband but also to drive away quickly.
