Early access is now over and development has ended
This game will no longer be developed due to lack of interest. There is a ton to do in it now, but the story is unfinished. If interest picks up I may continue development. The price of the game has been lowered to reflect the missing content. Have an excellent day! 🤖

Original postAHHH! The first of the updates is here!
Thank you to those who have left feedback so far, keep it up and i'll keep updating the game.
Below are some patch notes for your consumption. See the bottom for additional developer ramblings.Fixes
- Smoothed out physics interactions when running people over with vehicles. Previously this sometimes stopped the vehicle abruptly.
- Fixed an issue where the player would be "pushed" occasionally when riding around on top of vehicles
- Player will now f*@$ing die when hit by vehicles at high speed
- Fixed LOD collision issue with sedans
- Bad drivers will now knock over stop signs instead of learning to drive or getting stuck
- Vehicles will attempt to no longer spawn inside other vehicles
- The breach timer will no longer immediatly hit zero when commiting crimes at the highest wanted level.
- Dead objects such as corpses will now be destroyed when traveling through portals in order to prevent dismembered zombies.
- Wanted triggers (such as entering a vault while seen) will no longer increase wanted level beyond crime severity (non-cumulative)
- Vehicle parking routine can no longer witch doctor Robert's head.
- Passengers dying in the car while you are driving is no longer an issue.
- Player will now ignore the colliders on the passegers heads while driving the vehicle, thus preventing them from following him later.
- AI bus explodey no more kerput.
- Fixed minor issue with story transitions
- Fixed a bug where dirty cops where pocketing large amounts of money in the evidence room
- Bug where AI would not spawn occasionally
- Fixed issue where vehicles that spawn with tiles are cleaned up when tile is cleaned up if the player is driving
- Ricky's skin is no longer random.
- Office floors do a better job at preventing the AI from walling.
- Fixed some issues with holdup mechanics
Updates
- Added drivable transit bus, stops for player and bus stops.
- Added drivable truck, truck will spawn in traffic (I did some donuts on the grass!)
- Bus stops and parking meters attempt to no longer spawn when roads are not nearby.
- Bus stops and parking meters attempt to rotate towards the road when spawned
- Stop signs can now be damaged
- Added signage to some buildings
- Increased the probability of a van appearing on the road or in parking spot
- Added under construction subway (will be usuable later)
- Added drug store
- Vehicles now use object pooling
- Breach gas and breachers now use object pooling
- Added new button to switch powerup to controls
- Added rooftop radio tower that can spawn during world generation
- Increase first person point of view limits to allow looking down off buildings and straight up at helicopters
- Increased probability of police station spawning
- Actor indicators will now be visible upon first encounter (used to be when you came back next)
- Unreachable background will now smoothly follow player during floating offset adjustments
- World generation improvements
- Changes to some below the map handling
- Fixed some nonsense errors that have no bearing in reality.
- Wanted grid now follows player from origin.
- Increased floating threshold from 100 to 1000 (there will be occasional shadow artifacts but this seems smoother)
- Added temporal anti-aliasing to curb shadow artifacts / jitter when approaching the floating threshold
- Tile cleanup now runs on its own routine and has its own threshold separate from the floating origin.
Story
- New story chunk (maybe 1/4th done)
- Added new special vehicle as part of story
- Modified the last part of the first chapter to require a few additional steps in order to complete the chapter.
- Significant item in the first chapter is now more detailed
- Story characters can now repeat what they said for the benifit of the player.
- Made some updates to story engine
- Added new powerup
- Adjusted postion of enemies to better suit nav grid
- Elevator no longer creates an alternate reality orphaning the current one.
Developer ramblings
This update started off with some new vehicles I wanted (namely the bus). Bus turned out really cool
Much of the changes after that were driven by story changes and things from my backlog that were more or less getting in the way of that. The next update will likely be similar but I would like to try to focus more on working off random things from my backlog / adding new stuff that I think is fun that really has nothing to do with anything (along with story updates / bug fixes). One example of that would be the subway. Making it so you can ride around from station to station underground. For what purpose? I guess I just think it is fun. Maybe you can use it to avoid the cops or there will be more of a purpose to it later. I would like to add more weapons early on in the next update as well that can be purchased. Originally I was going to add helicopters for something in this chunck of the story, but I may add those separate from the story. I have some concerns about flying around through the world quickly, much faster than the cars can go, so I will have to likely make some changes to world generation to accomidate flying vehicles, which could take a while. Perhaps that would be better for its own update. While speaking of vehicles, it seems like there is a need for faster cars so I will likely add a sports car of some sort that is a little bit rare. In line with that I think that the cops ability to chase you in vehicles is lacking and there needs to be more of a chase / crashing into you while you drive. Unfortunately that means I need to upgrade the driving AI which has problems with small objects and turning excessively, without doing so would result in the cops flooring it in your direction and crashing into things the first time you turn. Maybe it would turn out better than I expect, but I forsee this will take a while. I will likely just add it into a patch somewhere along the way.
If you like this game and wish it to continue recieving updates, please leave a review stating what you like / don't like and start discussions. The next update will likely be in a month of so.
Developer postAn update is on the way!
Just finishing some world generation changes and testing. It will likely be another week or so.

Original postI am very excited to let Steam get their hands on this (and a bit anxious). This game has been in development for quite a while now and I think it is finally ready to have some early access outside of the alpha testers. I do appreciate the testers taking time to play this and I am glad that they enjoyed it! Now it is time for others to enjoy the game. If you really like this game, support the game and leave reviews and feedback. I am going to make an effort to be more verbose in updates and communication rather than my normal rattling off of bulleted information (like this announcement into the void).
Normal Updates
I am hoping to do regular updates for this game. The frequency of the updates may depend on the amount of feedback and reviews the game gets but I would like to aim for at least 1 bigger update per month. In the past I have done every week or other week, which I may still do depending on what the changes are. Please read the early access description if you are interested in the planned goals of this game. I would also like to include the following in the larger monthly updates:
- At least 1 new weapon
- At least 1 new vehicle
- At least 1 new building or variation of existing buildings
- New zone templates.
- Occasional new enemies
- Story updates
- Game mechanic additions
- Player feedback based on reviews and discussions
- Normal bug fixes
Hotfixes
Unspeakably there may be times where unexpected things happen. For example if there is a reoccurring game breaking issue or someone is having problems with a save file. These sort of problems should have a quick turn around time.
Developer ramblings
Story
I would like to say that the story is maybe 1/8th implemented (1/3 in my head I guess). I like the direction the story is going and I have a good ending in mind that should be interesting. I would suggest that those who would play this game for the story expect the unexpected and be prepared to have to wait a month or so for new chunks of the story to be added. At some point assuming things are going well I may also start adding "side quests" or side story and odd jobs.
Weapons
The weapons added to the game are most likely going to be uniquely obtainable. Many will only be found on the enemy they spawn with or in specific loot boxes that are randomly placed throughout the world (they are free... not dirty microtransactions... just boxes with loot in them you can find and open). Other weapons will simply be available in the gun stores.
Vehicles
As I said I will be adding vehicles as I go. The more I add the more complex the traffic will become. I am still on the fence about whether or not to make them obey traffic laws. One vehicle I am excited about adding is the bus. I want the player to be able to ride around / walk inside / on the bus from stop to stop and engage with the environment from inside (walk around and shoot from the bus). At some point I would like to add air vehicles but I will talk about that more later.
World generation / zones
There is a concept in the game currently of "zones". The zones determine what sort of tiles can spawn in the area and the general layout of the location (infinite world... in theory anyway). As time and updates go on these will become more complex and more zones may be added. Currently there are only 2 types (residential and commercial), later more may be added dramatically changing the world (industrial, crime, airport, military, etc.) It should be pretty cool! The world itself is persistent to some degree, if you drive a long way away and come back it should be the same as you left it (referring to the static environment). NPCs and other dynamic objects may be somewhat more unpredictable. The entire world is based off of a global seed that determines the pseudo-random generation of the rest of the world (infinite... may be some hardware limitations if you head in one direction for many many hours, good luck exploring the whole world though...). One nice thing is that I cannot predict everything that is out there, and the more I add the more unpredictable it becomes (don't panic)! There is currently a tactile way to change the seed included in the first story chunk (though it may not be apparent). This will likely change in some way later on, it is just there for now to have the functionality present.
Content
There is undeniably a lot of content already in this game and a lot more planned. The more variation, objects, weapons, buildings, cars, mechanics added to a procedural game the more interesting it will become. As it stands today it is plenty interesting and it leans towards a chaotic sandbox. I would like to add all the things I want and everyone wants to this to make it truly its own world. That may be unrealistic (by definition) but I would like to make an effort.
Game support
I would love to keep updating this game for years to come, we will see what happens. If you like the game and want to see more content and the game to be kept alive, leave a review, tell your friends, start discussions, and engage with announcements. I am going to do my best to meet expectations.
Enjoy!

Traffic lights!
Imagine a world where no one obeyed traffic signals. Perhaps the cars should obey the signal normally and ignore the signal when frightened by chaos.

Adding a hospital
Hospitals will be a neat place to hide/explore and find health items as well as containing yet to be determined secrets in the basement which can be accessed by finding a keycard inside.
