The State of Development
 

  • New content – Player actions

    • The player actions system has been fully implemented with a first pass for all animations. Players will get a visual representation of each action (idle, aiming, shooting, reloading etc.). Additionally the player will be able to check the amount of ammo left for each weapon by performing the “Ammo Check” animation (see video below)

  • New content – Shotgun

    • As an extra weapon in the game we’ve added a triple barrel shotgun. It can be found during the game at the Police Station.

  • New content – Steam Achievements

    • Fully implemented Steam achievements with a variety of hidden tasks some of which are optional and might require further research in Westwood. 

  • “Controller Support” Added

    • The game is now playable with a PC compatible controller.
