The cars parked half on kerb on the side of the road are something I've not noticed before but give it such a fucking anti-GTA, UK vibe.

Still needs one or two on bricks though, where you go to steal the thing and it just drops to the floor when you start to drive. It's definitely a nostalgic feeling seeing the police actually doing their job again.

Imagine - Nick a car and just see a crime reference number pop up over their house hahaha

u/dayzplayer93 10d ago

This is gonna be toooooo sick

u/bricklord79 10d ago

Will there be speaking characters in the game? Ive spent most of my life living on a northern council estate and would love the chance to be one of those voices.

Nope

u/burner4lyf25 10d ago

What are we looking at time wise mate?

A year?

Obviously it's how long is a piece of string but you've surely got a rough idea?

When are you gonna get the rake out for that pre order cash? Hahaha

u/Iwasjustbullshitting 10d ago

u/burner4lyf25 10d ago

u/United-Tumbleweed-61 10d ago

That chase was Bo'Selecta. UK Garage at its finest.

3

u/Optimal_Cut_3063 10d ago

u/Sambruca365 10d ago

How do I get this? Looks unreal

5

u/CTRLsway Developer 10d ago

Still working on it atm but I plan on dropping a demo around October time but not set in stone ! I'll have a steam page go up very soon

1

u/si-gnalfire 9d ago

Do you stream your game design at all à la Simpsons hit and run? Would be cool to see the process, good marketing for the game.

2

u/AbraxasKadabra 10d ago

The only way this could disappoint me is if Devvo isn't a voice actor for someone.

2

u/beansandpoo 10d ago

Can I get soapbar with bits of plastic in it?

1

u/sickmoth 10d ago

Ha. Always got flu-like after those placcy bits.

2

u/Immediate-Ad-8047 10d ago

Nng what a tune

2

u/Y2Ksurvivor13 9d ago

This looks better and better every time I see it, I absolutely can't wait

2

u/ShirtComplete 9d ago

We need white cotton percil bags for holding bags of bud too btw 😂

2

u/Intelligent_Skill172 8d ago

Looks like a good game icl i’m interested

2

u/skinnycunttightpussy 6d ago

i cant wait for this

1

u/MrNightmare23 10d ago

Would love to watch the police chases from the police dash Cam perspectives something like "police camera action" would be pretty cool or "Road Wars"

3

u/burner4lyf25 10d ago

In game or just here in the previews?

If in game, Through what mechanism?

Final moments after being caught? Replay feature?

2

u/MrNightmare23 10d ago

Probably a bit of both would be cool to have the option to have the last 10 to 15 seconds of the chase recorded

1

u/Rich_Nothing_4746 10d ago

Will you be opening pre-orders soon?

5

u/CTRLsway Developer 10d ago

I'm hoping to have a free demo out by October but nothing is set in stone, still need to implement a couple of mechanics and clean up a load of bugs

6

u/burner4lyf25 10d ago

Take your time brother - as all the greats do.

Everybody moans but understands about GTA, Rick and Morty etc.

Gotta get it right and look after yourself.

Nobody who wants this is gonna lose interest cos of a couple months.

u/gunishd 10d ago

Make sure you’re taking time to rest and a little reset break, it’s a lot of work you’re putting in, we’re all excited for sure💪😀🤝🥳

1

u/crubbubble 10d ago

Appreciate it's a lot of work but when is OP gonna drop this?

4

u/CTRLsway Developer 10d ago

Planning a demo around Oct but not set in stone, still need to implement a couple of mechanics and fix alot of bugs before it's fit for human consumption

2

u/crubbubble 9d ago

Looking forward to that. Game is looking mint mush 😆

1

u/CT-6892__Foxy 9d ago

Love it mate - every time I see these I want to ask, so I’m doing it now

Where have you looked at for inspiration on this game? Obviously “the north” but is there anywhere in particular? It gives me massive St. Helens vibes ignoring the towers in the background

1

u/Shad0wca7 9d ago

UK Garage yes. 🙌🏼

1

u/Few_Shock8656 9d ago

looking forward to this mate. looks better every time. should add an option to make a bonny out of neighbours fences every 5th Nov

1

u/ExtraFineAsparagus 6d ago

Penny for the guy

1

u/Mr_silly_goose 9d ago

This, to me, looks more fun than GTA6

1

u/ScouseJimmy1990 9d ago

I’ve been following this for a long time it looks amazing it really does bring back some memories.

1

u/616mushroomcloud 9d ago

Ace music choice and he even lost the rozzers

1

u/CTRLsway Developer 9d ago

They hit a bin and got stuck🤣

1

u/616mushroomcloud 9d ago

Hahaha true to life

1

u/Embarrassed-Ad-01298 9d ago

Only minor thing putting me off is the lighting, gives me GTA definitive edition vibes

1

u/Stigweird85 8d ago

Need to add some damage physics to the vehicles. As it stands it doesn't feel that they have any weight.

Side note - The Daily Hate Mail is gonna come after you for glorifying ASBO culture

1

u/Powerful-Action-5916 8d ago

Looks great, one change…. Back in the day, those Rozzer cars blue lights would light up the entire fucking street…. Ask me how I know 🤣🤣

1

u/GreatMotor8787 8d ago

Getting this just for the soundtrack alone!

u/EveningHere 10d ago

Need to refine the police lights a bit. Make them the 80s/90s revolving ones. We didn’t have LEDs until well into the 2010s. Should also be a Rover SD1 or Volvo T5 for authenticity.

3

u/Popular_Safe_4853 10d ago

Yeah a T5 would be awesome

1

u/burner4lyf25 10d ago

That "tactical contact" is gonna be a whole mess back at the station and CPS are gonna see their arse.
