Today, we're taking things one step further. Because if vehicles can get damaged… it turns out that the environment isn't always indestructible either.

Winston Springs is filled with plenty of smaller objects that can get in your way. Trash cans, bollards, and other environmental elements can be destroyed if you hit them hard enough. Sometimes it's an accident, and sometimes you simply need to find another way through.

But that's not all. In the Full Version, Winston Springs opens up a little more for you. Fences, barriers, and other types of fencing are no longer always the absolute boundaries they might appear to be.

If a road is blocked, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to turn around. Sometimes all you need is… a little more speed.

With the ability to destroy many environmental elements, players can to some extent create their own path through Winston Springs. Not every restriction has to remain in place - sometimes, you get to decide which way your route will go.

Of course, this doesn't mean the entire city will turn into a construction site. The goal is to make the world more open, interactive, and responsive, giving you more ways to react to situations instead of always following the same path.

Especially during a chase, every second counts. And if there's a fence between you and a fleeing criminal… well, maybe it won't be a problem for long.

The Full Version of Police Chief Simulator is almost here. September 17, 2026 - in just 6 days, we'll be hitting the streets of Winston Springs!

See you in the next devlog!

We would like to THANK YOU for playing our game, it means a lot to us.

Hey Chiefs!

Only 7 days remain until the Full Version of Police Chief Simulator launches! Today, we're taking you to the place where our hero's story begins - the local bus station in Winston Springs. This is where our main character first arrives in the city, beginning his new adventure as the Police Chief.

But the bus station isn't just the place where the story of Police Chief Simulator begins. It's also another important location in our shared universe. In the first screenshot, you can see the main character from Police Chief Simulator together with Joe Donovan - a retired bus driver whom you'll get to know better in the upcoming Bus Station Simulator.

Joe knows the station like the back of his hand. After years behind the wheel, he got to know not only the bus routes, but also Winston Springs and its residents. Now, as a retired bus driver, he's one of the characters who will help us discover more stories surrounding this place.

And since we're talking about the station - we have a little announcement for you. Bus Station Simulator will be the next game set in the Winston Springs universe. It's another chance to experience the city from a completely different perspective and discover more of its locations and residents.

But before you set off on another journey through Winston Springs, there's one more release to look forward to. On September 17, 2026, Police Chief Simulator launches in Full Version on Steam! In just one week, you'll be able to begin your new career and explore a city where the stories of different characters are slowly starting to connect.

And if you'd like to see what Winston Springs looks like from the perspective of the Garage Monkeys team, be sure to check out their latest Car Dealer Simulator devlog as well:

One city. Many stories. And we definitely haven't told you everything about it yet.

Hey Chiefs!

Only 9 days remain until the Full Version of Police Chief Simulator launches! It's been a while since we've taken a look inside one of the most important rooms at our police station - the Briefing Room. So it's finally time to come back here and reveal what will actually be happening inside!

If you'd like to refresh your memory and see our first look at this room, check out our previous devlog:

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2938460/view/717906309283840753

This is where cases prepared earlier in the Detective Room arrive. From the Briefing Board, you can select the case you want to work on and then decide which officers will be assigned to it and what equipment they will take with them.

Once the team is properly prepared, all that's left is to brief the officers and send them out into the field. From that moment on, they take over the case and head into the city - whether their goal is to catch a criminal or solve a specific case.

After dispatching your officers, it's also useful to know when you can expect them back. On the Winston Springs map, you can check the estimated time it will take for the team to complete their assignment and return to the station.

This makes it easier to plan your next moves, manage your available officers, and react accordingly to everything happening across Winston Springs.

The Briefing Room will therefore be the place where decisions made at the station turn into action out in the field. Choose a case, assemble your team, prepare their equipment, and send your officers out to get the job done.

The Full Version of Police Chief Simulator is almost here. September 17, 2026 - that's when the entire Winston Springs opens up to you, along with all the cases, assignments, and responsibilities waiting beyond the walls of your police station.

See you in the next devlog!

Hey Chiefs!

Only 11 days remain until the Full Version of Police Chief Simulator launches! Today, we're taking a closer look at another important part of running your police station - the holding cells. More specifically, what happens to criminals after they are caught on the streets of Winston Springs.

Criminals arrested by you or your officers are first brought to the Holding Cells at the police station. This is where the registration process begins. Their paperwork is prepared, their photo is taken, and a proper criminal record is created for them.

Only after the registration process has been completed can they be prepared for further transport. Paperwork may not be the most exciting part of police work, but it has to be done - even the most wanted criminal needs a file.

Once all the documentation is ready, it's time for the next step. The prisoners are taken out of their cells and escorted to the transport vehicle waiting behind the station. From there, you can transport them to the local prison.

And this is where another interesting part of the system comes into play. The local prison doesn't just take the prisoners off your hands - it also rewards you for delivering complete documentation and reducing the amount of paperwork their own staff has to deal with.

After delivering the prisoners to the local prison, you'll receive an additional bonus. Every crime has its own value, and the more troublesome the prisoner turned out to be, the better the final payout can be for your station's budget. So, in a way, some criminals can be… surprisingly profitable.

Of course, first you need to catch them, register them correctly, and safely deliver them to the prison. Only then can their criminal activities turn into additional funds for your police station.

In the Full Version of Police Chief Simulator, running a police station isn't just about patrolling the streets. It's also about paperwork, organizing your staff, arresting criminals, and making sure every prisoner ends up exactly where they belong.

And all of this is almost here. September 17, 2026 - that's when Police Chief Simulator launches in Full Version on Steam!

See you in the next devlog!

WINSTON SPRINGS UNIVERSE: Good and Evil - Catching Criminals

Hey Chiefs!

Only 12 days remain until the Full Version of Police Chief Simulator launches! This time, we're heading back into our shared Winston Springs universe to talk about something that's simply unavoidable in the life of a Police Chief - chasing and catching criminals.

In Winston Springs, you never really know what might happen next. Even during a completely ordinary conversation with a citizen, something could be happening right behind your back.

In the first scene, we see the Police Chief talking to one of the locals. Everything looks perfectly normal… but take a closer look. There's a criminal lurking in the background. That's why you always need to keep your eyes open in Winston Springs. You never know who's watching the situation and waiting for the right moment to make a move.

Once the criminal reveals himself, it's time to act! In the next GIF, we show a short chase that ends with the suspect being caught and put in handcuffs. A quick reaction, the right decision, and one more criminal is no longer a threat to the citizens of Winston Springs.

But… is every criminal that easy to spot? Not necessarily. Some pedestrians may look completely innocent while secretly hiding something of their own. In Winston Springs, appearances can be very misleading - but we'll tell you more about that in our upcoming devlogs.

And speaking of the fight between good and evil - we're not the only ones dealing with it! In our shared universe, the Garage Monkeys team behind Car Dealer Simulator also has to deal with their own problems and criminals.

If you want to see what the fight between good and evil looks like in Car Dealer Simulator, be sure to check out their devlog:

Two different jobs, two different perspectives on Winston Springs… but some problems remain exactly the same. 😉

The Full Version of Police Chief Simulator is getting closer every day. September 17, 2026 - that's when we'll hit the streets of the entire Winston Springs, and there certainly won't be a shortage of people trying to break the law.

See you in the next devlog!

Hello, Chiefs!

Only 13 days remain until the Full Version of Police Chief Simulator launches! Today we're heading a little lower than usual - straight down to the station basement. That's where you'll find an important part of the station's infrastructure, one that's easy to overlook during expansion… until the lights go out.

As the station grows, so does its demand for electricity. At the heart of the system is the Transformer, responsible for maintaining the amount of electricity available to your station. The bigger and more developed your station becomes, the more important it will be to keep the transformer upgraded.

That's why expanding too quickly without taking care of your infrastructure can have consequences. If your station's demand exceeds the transformer's capabilities, you may find yourself dealing with a power outage. And running a police station without electricity isn't exactly the easiest way to start a shift.

Luckily, the transformer can be upgraded. You can obtain the necessary upgrades through deliveries and install them directly into the transformer, increasing the available power and preparing the station for further expansion.

You can also protect your station against power interruptions by installing a UPS. This system uses additional batteries to keep the station powered even when it gets disconnected from the main grid.

Once fully upgraded, the transformer is ready to handle the growing demands of your police station. It's one of those parts of the station you might not think about every day - until everything suddenly goes dark.

The Full Version of Police Chief Simulator is almost here. September 17, 2026 - that's when the full Winston Springs experience opens its doors to you.

See you in the next devlog!

We would like to THANK YOU for playing our game, it means a lot to us.
