| The Truth | 2018-03-16 | Hello everyone. Guessing that a lot of you are pissed at me and I understand that, you have every right to be. The truth about the development of this game and what happened is as follows. I worked on this game for 2 years, alone, and I hit the brick wall 2-3 weeks after release. No matter how much I tried to work on the game I just couldn't. Developing something for that long and then have it all shatter is not that easy to face mentally or emotionally. Also, shove in some health problems, depression and you have a recipe for disaster. I tried to make something in an engine which at the time could not handle the scale of everything, poor des |

| Zone 22 - Update | 2015-10-15 | Hello everyone! Working hard on a big update, the reason I haven't updated the game so often recently is because I'm redesigning, well everything. So animations are getting redone, UI elements, gameplay aspects, Quests, inventory, map size etc. The game right now is too slow which ultimately makes everything boring. I wanna make the gameplay aspect fast, fun and rewarding. Stay tuned people! |

| Upcoming changes | 2015-08-05 | Hello everyone. Just wanted to tell you what is coming up that'll improve certain aspects of the game. I'm working on a new AI system for the guards. If you're doing any crimes near a guard, you wont get branded right away. Your notoriety will start to increase and the guard wont do anything unless it reaches 100%. This gives the player time to run away from the guard. If it reaches 100% however he will start to shoot / chase you and alert other guards about it. This introduces the new health system, if your health reaches zero you will get branded for your crimes. But if you reach your home in time the guards wont attack you unless you go ou |

| Regarding the guards | 2015-08-04 | Hey guys I just realized something that the game does not communicate particularly well to the player. If you're carrying contraband (wirecutters, spraycans etc) the metal detector near the bullet station will go off and guards nearby will become alerted. You can hide contraband in your apartment in the wardrobe connecting between the kitchen and the bedroom. Working right now on some more tutorials because those are necessary. I made the mistake that you could read my mind and magically understand how everything worked. Sorry. Patch incoming either today or tomorrow. Thanks. |
