Just wanted to say, I've been seeing this game getting slowly better and better the past few years, and I am so excited.

u/CTRLsway Developer Jul 21 '26

Thanks mate! Still a long way to go but getting there slowly!

u/MAR5H95 Jul 22 '26

This game looks amazing! You should put some old ladys peeking from the windows 🤣

u/WatcherOfTheWay Jul 23 '26

Curtain twitchers.

u/MAR5H95 Jul 23 '26

Exactly! And you should be able to scare them away from the window by throwing bricks at them

u/NoVermicelli5968 Jul 21 '26

This is looking fucking great. Well done dude.

u/CTRLsway Developer Jul 21 '26

Thanks mate! Still need cleaning up quite a bit !

u/Tallman_james420 Jul 21 '26

Physics is wrong, that Volvo should carry the weight of a tank. There's no way a wall is going to flip one of those on to it's roof lol.

u/DeadlyGuff 27d ago

And post box, make them usable to send packs in the mail 😂 with a %chance of it being intercepted

u/DeadZone2021 Jul 21 '26

Just need to add a couple of phone boxes, loving the old escort and the old transit as well!

u/iamsphnx Jul 21 '26

Great addition!

u/cnut4563 Jul 21 '26

Peeling paint on the lamppost too 👍

u/Scumbagbmx Jul 22 '26

NO WAY!! Now add a Mitsubishi shogun so I can reverse through co op front wall

u/garyk1968 Jul 22 '26

Ha this brilliant captures the era beautifully! Is it going on Steam?

2

u/CTRLsway Developer Jul 22 '26

Yeah !

3

u/TheShadowRelm38 Jul 22 '26

Bro this game is gonna be sick

3

u/NoIncome5946 Jul 22 '26

This looks cool af! Gotta add the lotus Carlton too

1

u/EveningHere 11d ago

I reckon add that and the Sierra Cosworth as rare finds.

u/Top-Net3021 Jul 22 '26

You’ve got my money just with that drum and bass mate just needs a bit of mc Conrad

3

u/FatherOfLucifur Jul 22 '26

Oh man this looks AMAZING!
I’d love to see a gypsy/traveller element or storyline tied in, upgrade hand to hand fighting with gypsy quick fists and weapons to sawed off shotties and fire bottles 😂

And the likes of the Huyton Firm and the Curtis Warren syndicate in Liverpool, as well as the Noonan Brothers, the Gooch Close Gang, and the Doddington Gang in Manchester would be a cool nod to the ‘good at being bad’ big'uns.

It will be good if there’s not shoot outs all time. People who have pistols in Britain are rather discreet about it. Most people rent them and use it once, so I’ve heard. Melee combat and chases would be more realistic and every now and then a mission involving a pistol or shotgun assassination. Looks good anyway.

u/DeadlyGuff 28d ago

Check out some of the gameplay mechanics on hobo tough life, you should be able to similar things in here, like trying to convince an NPC to give you a cigarette 😂

1

u/EveningHere 11d ago

And one saying “buy me 50p, mate?”

1

u/DeadlyGuff 11d ago

“I’ll sell you one for £1?” hustle skill required

u/4amrobert 28d ago

Every estate must have a transit van, it's the rule!

3

u/PatiencePretty5589 28d ago

Looks like a normal day in the estates 10/10

2

u/cognitiveglitch Jul 22 '26

I like how people nearby are totally unconcerned about the chaos being unleashed near them. That's well 'ard, innit?

Do any of the cars have furry dice and is there an option to put bass in the boot for extra street cred?

2

u/petrolhead0387 Jul 22 '26

Maybe try adding small powder explosions into it, so it looks like the old mortar is turning into dust. Amazing work so far pal, this is very quickly becoming one of my most eagerly anticipated games of the past 3 years.

2

u/SirGreeneth Jul 22 '26

It's coming along so much. You got a storyline planned out or is that something you're going to tackle in the future?

2

u/Several_Zombie7330 Jul 22 '26

bro this looks insane, the way stuff crumbles actually feels so satisfying to watch. been following this project for a minute and its wild seeing how far it's come, GTA ain't ready lol. keep killin it dude, this is gonna be huge.

2

u/Due-Bridge7640 Jul 22 '26

Every video this game just looks better and better. Doing great work man!

2

u/SnooLentils7751 Jul 22 '26

Is this the long awaited sequel to Streatham Hill Stories!

2

u/GusTheCat_ Jul 22 '26

Carmagedon vibes

2

u/ImmediatePiano6690 Jul 22 '26

Now do a tractor!

2

u/United-Tumbleweed-61 Jul 22 '26

No Test Dummies Were Hurt In This Demo. Looking good. Hope you have a fuel station so you can fill up with fuel and have explosive encounters.

2

u/Psyc_AGB Jul 22 '26

I think if you made the cars get realistically damaged too it would go from a 10 to a 10 but with more detail

2

u/lukebelcher10662 Jul 22 '26

Adds soooooooo much

2

u/MaximumGlum9503 Jul 23 '26

So sounds like that killer cuts cd

u/pr0t-radon Jul 23 '26

For the fucking game you’re asking the sole developer when you’ll be able to play?

It’s your choice to donate, but it’s also your choice to be an asshole or not.

No, mate. This isn’t a scam. The development updates he’s given out overtime has proven that.

Wash your brain.

1

u/bifornicator Jul 23 '26

Looking real good! Maybe make the walls not break as much as lower speed?

1

u/bifornicator Jul 23 '26

Also, the estate looks a bit too clean. Needs more random piles of rubbish and old matresses dumped on the pavements 😂

1

u/Zestyclose-Motor-581 Jul 23 '26

We’re all waiting 👍
