Hey, officers! For the last several weeks weve been transferring the project to GameMaker Studio 2. Finishing this part of the development process allowed us to proceed to implementing some of the features we had planned for quite a while. As you can see on the gif, Police Stories is now both working on Mac and has a controller support! For now the Right Stick is responsible for aiming, which isnt very convenient. Were going to upgrade it with a more classic twin-stick approach, plus a special button combination to command your partner. Luckily, the menu is optimized for the controller since the very beginning, so most of the work is already done. Adding a controller support required us to upgrade the whole input system. It turned out to be a good thing, as now were able to implement changing control keys more easily. After finishing this part of the development, were moving to widely anticipated Couch Co-op. Aside from the tech side, it also includes update of the HUD.

Here is a small list of features were doing next:

• Suspects AI improvement Escaping from the room or the level
• Destructible walls (not every wall will be destructible)
• Difficulty Settings for each mission
• Tutorial tooltips
• Enhanced smoke/gas grenade mechanics

• The Surrender System allows you to apprehend the suspects without resorting to violence. Fire a warning shot near them or engage them in melee combat - those are just some of the ways you can make them submit.
  
• Issue commands to your fellow cop Rick Jones. Make sure to use him wisely - and who knows, he might save your life in return.
  
• Randomly placed criminals, hostages and evidence make every level run unique. The placement changes every time you restart, leading to new interesting situations and opportunities.
  
• As a law enforcement officer, you will have access to end-of-the-line police equipment, such as under-the-door cameras, door blast charges and many others.
  
• Various types of lawbreakers, from small petty criminals to well organised gangs and terrorists. Each type has not only unique weapons, but different behaviour and shooting skill.
  
• Complex Tactical Gameplay: Try not to get spotted, don't waste bullets, regularly check your surroundings and make sure to take criminals down quietly.
  
• All your actions are scored in real time. Playing aggressively won't get you a high enough result to start the next mission - so keep that in mind!
  
• Co-op. Complete mission together for better scores and more fun!
