Hey everyone!
Been working non-stop these past months, and the demo of COP BASTARD has just received a big update. It’s now much closer to how the final game will look and feel.
Here’s what’s new:
A short tutorial to help you get into the flow faster
Added checkpoints. No more full restarts after every death.
Adjusted weapon balance — each gun should feel sharper and more distinct now.
Reworked AI behavior and added a bit of randomness to keep fights less predictable.
Refined the enemy spit mechanic — it’s nastier, but more fun to use.
Tweaked the menu layout and changed some of the in-game music.
Some post-processing effects can also be toggled off if you really need, though it’s recommended to keep them on to fully soak in that grimy late‑90s action vibe
The demo now better represents the direction of the full release. I’ve been continuously refining everything — gameplay, feel, balance — and we’re getting very close.
I’m aiming to release the full version soon. Hopefully in December, but it might slip into January 2026 if polishing takes a bit longer. Thanks for all the support and feedback — it really helps shape the game!

Best regards,
targim.

Cop Bastard channels John Woo for some perfectly punchy FPSing
If you've read any of my stuff by now, you'd know that I am a simple man who enjoys violence in his games. No story? Absolutely fine by me - cuts the faff. This is why I like the demo for first-person shooter Cop Bastard a lot. It's set in early 90s Japan, where you'll smoke fool

Hi everybody!
I know that many people expect more frequent updates from me on the development of my game, but unfortunately, I don’t always have enough time to share the latest changes with you.
And therefore, I wanted to share with you the work that I have done in the few months since the last event.

The game level is being developed. You can see the screenshots below;
Weapon balance has been slightly changed;
AI's behavior is now stable, more varied, and not like in the previous demo version.
Some VFX effects have been corrected and supplemented;
Many other changes.
Also, I am now intensively updating the demo version of the game so that you can evaluate the changes that I have made recently and I assume that in about 2 months you will be able to play it.
Thank you for your continued support and patience as we work diligently to make our game even better. Stay tuned for updates, and, as always, your feedback is invaluable.
