City Mode Open Beta
We’re introducing one of the city backstreets — Unfinished Highway, part of the Streets biome in City Mode.
This location can start with one of two side missions:
In one, you’ll need to eliminate a trio of dangerous bandits.
In the other, your goal is to steal a briefcase from a mobster’s stash.
If you take the time to explore the back alleys, you can also uncover an additional hidden case, guarded by a security camera:
Along the way, you can find and collect weapons to prepare yourself for the final task — steal the mobsters’ stash from the guarded Club Basement and get out alive. All unlocked guns will be available to you before the final shootout.
Get ready to jump into a full-on killing spree mission in the Night Club Arena, featuring more linear gameplay and a brand-new soundtrack.
Current Limitations (this release):
This is a limited first iteration, so some features are not available yet:
Alternative final mission route leading to Harbor.
Random encounters inside the Unfinished Highway.
Longer runs that include multiple locations from the Streets biome (to avoid exhausting players).
We plan to add some of these elements during January and see how more complex routes perform.
Enemy AI: New States
We’ve fully reworked all in-game enemy animations and moved them to a new state machine, allowing us to add many more behaviors and animations in future updates. Huge shout-out to our animator for this massive amount of work!
⚠️ Important Note ⚠️
This is NOT the final version.
This system is a new platform that allows us to introduce all kinds of new behaviors and animations.
Today’s release doesn’t represent the final vision — it simply reflects what we could realistically deliver by the end of this year and we believe it’s solid enough to ship.
New behaviors include:
City Mode: Sound awareness: Loud gunshots, explosions or the death of other mobsters will reveal your position and trigger attacks.
City Mode: Vision angles. Currently a simple 110° field of view, without peripheral vision or long recognition time.
City Mode: New idle animations.
Hand injury reactions: Enemies will drop their weapon and switch to a secondary one.
Gun-butt attacks: Enemies may use pistols or rifles for close-range melee attacks.
Other Enemy Improvements:
Improved movement over dead bodies — enemies now trip and fall much less often.
Easier weapon stealing from enemy belts — belt weapons now have higher grab priority than the body itself.
Current Limitations (this release):
The "quick sidestep” animation has been temporarily removed, making enemy movement more predictable.
Some animations (such as strafe) currently require more free space, so they occur less often in narrow areas.
Transitions between certain animations may take slightly longer — this will be improved in future updates 👍
Gun Updates:
Lucky-7 Shotgun received new, unique shot, reload, and pump movement sounds.
Roadmap Updated
As you can see, we’re planning a lot of AI and City Mode updates for the first half of 2026. We’ll also continue adding new weapons and visual upgrades on a monthly basis.
Thank you!
Thank you all for an awesome year ❤️ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We’ll push a small update next week and then the team will take a 10-day break. See you all next year!
