Update 0.5 Released - Month of September Report

Hello again! This month's update contains some new content including a new game mode, as well as a new weapon and map.

Elimination is a game mode that can be played offline or with a friend online against AI. Up to 2 police officers try to eliminate 20 criminals that spawn randomly on the map. The AI has been significantly buffed for this patch, so prepare for a fight.

Also added was the ability to spawn a police bot. This will allow you to force all players in the lobby to be criminals or to play offline as a criminal.

Finally, the newest content to the game is the dual smgs for the criminals and the mansion map.


Changelog:

  • Added dual smgs for criminals
  • Added mansion map
  • Added elimination game mode
  • Added local network capability
  • Buffed AI
  • Fixed minor bugs
  • Added trading cards

Update 0.4 Released - Month of August Report

Hello again! This month's update is a big one. It contains a lot of quality of life improvements as well as content. First off there is a new weapon selection screen which shows up at the start of every round and will replace the old pickup system. This allows for short breaks in between rounds to decide what loadout you would like to use.

Secondly, there is a new map, Warehouse, as well as a re-design to the old map Drug House.

Thirdly, two new abilities have been added: flashbangs for the cops, and a wrench for the criminals.

Lastly, bullets were re-implemented as hitscan rather than physical. Before this update it may have been hard to hit people who lived in regions far away from you. This occured because the physical bullets were very demanding on the network. To fix this, I replaced the old system with hitscan and through testing it has proven to be a much better solution. Please send any feedback about this new system to the discussions board.

There is also a bunch of models that have been re-designed. Check the changelog for more.

Also, if you would like to get future updates quicker (but less stable) switch over to the Testing branch of the game in the betas tab.

That's all for this month, happy bank robbing!


Changelog:

  • Added wrench for criminals
  • Added flashbangs for cops
  • Added warehouse map
  • Weapon selection screen

Quick Patch

A quick patch was posted today that addressed the issue of the game ending when a cop left the game.

Users also reported issues with selecting the proper resolution in game so I added the default resolution window to help while I try to fix the issue with it.
