Hello, officers! Were happy to share some fresh news about Police Stories development.

Level Editor

Right now were working on the Level Editor. It will be available for Windows as a separate free application and will feature Steam Workshop integration. We really hope you will have a lot of fun sharing your creations and playing community created levels! The plan is to ship the editor with the base game on release, but we dont have any hard release date just yet.

Nintendo Switch

Were almost done with the Nintendo Switch port! It took us a bit more time to polish everything and make some final changes. But weve made sure to provide the best portable experience. The Nintendo Switch version will be slightly different from the PC version of the game: it will feature only a couch co-op, but youll be able to play with just one Joy-Con. We will make an official announcement once we have an eShop page and a new trailer ready.

Whats next?

Now we need to add sprint animations for suspects [/quote] Apart from the Level Editor weve finalized all the main parts of the game. What we have to do now is put them all together. Currently were working on implementing tutorial tips and story cutscenes. Police Stories will not only provide a tactical action, but will also keep you engaged till the very end with a detective story full of twists! Weve also listened to your feedback and added more depth to AI behaviour. Suspects might now try to avoid open confrontation and leave the room to find a more advantageous position for the firefight. Were expecting that we will need 2 more months to implement all the features and finish language localization.

P. S.

Thanks to everyone who played Police Stories during PAX South this January. It was a great deal of fun!

Inspired by SWAT 4 and gritty police TV shows, Police Stories is a fresh take on top-down shooters with an emphasis on tactics that forces you to make split second decisions. Neutralize criminals, rescue civilians and defuse bombs in Single Player mode or Online Co-op. And remember - shooting first is not an option!

Unforgiving and tense, each mission tells a story of two police operatives - John Rimes and Rick Jones, filled with infiltrating gang hideouts, rescuing hostages, making arrests and other life-threatening situations.

• 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!
