We have, after years of hard work and struggle, finally hit the release we've been waiting for to introduce our community to an early version of Code 3. Version 0.1100.
Normally we'd hit you with the bullet points of what's been going on and what kind of changes we've made, but this update it seems a bit more appropriate to just talk it out as we're one week from launch, and we've got a few things to say to you all.
A lot of the work behind the scenes lately has been organizing, polishing, bug fixing, testing, testing, and more testing. To hit .1100 we wanted to make sure our content was playable across a number of differing PCs and put the game mechanics through vigorous testing. We also added a lot of the nice little touches that were absent throughout early building. Now, that isn't to say this isn't still a true Early Access release with many nasty little bugs and rough spots, however we have finally hit a point where we are comfortable showing the base game of Code 3 to our loyal community who have been rightfully asking "When is this coming out already?" or "Is this going to be another XXXX?".
With this release we believe we can finally offer our community an enjoyable experience while at the same time receiving the valuable input we've so desperately wanted to continue development in the proper direction.
To expand on the above testing, we have been able to successfully play to some degree on both Windows tablets and even 13 year old hardware! Though, to be fair, neither experience was nearly as good as a gaming PC!
We hope that everyone understands moving forward while we wish to offer the absolute best experience to our community at all times, Code 3 is meant to adapt, change, have bugs, go through growing pains, and have all the other associated benefits and pitfalls of a developing title.
It's our intention to take all feedback seriously and work on improving Code 3 systematically over time. It's taken a few years to get to this point, and it may take a few more to get to the finish line. Whatever it takes, we plan on working with you, our community, until the job's done. We hope you all give us your honest and critical input whether it's on social media, the Steam forums, our website, or Discord.
Finally, we want to thank all of our community members who have been a part of getting Code 3 to this long awaited Early Access release point. You know who you are and we do too! We have no producers, no advertisers, no big budgets, and no large teams. It's just us and you on a journey to make a fun police game. We know it's been a long time coming, but without support from community members like you this whole process becomes a lot more difficult and empty... so, thank you. Your support means more than you know.
We hope to see you all on June 16th and can't wait to hear what you all think!
