Dear Fans.

We cordially invite everyone willing to take part in the last, pre-premiere Contraband Police PlayTest!

Our project is already in the final stage, where we refine the last details such as the level of difficulty, economy and minor glitches.

We count on your help in finding the latest problems in the game and we are very curious about your feedback.

What is the content of this PlayTest?
In addition to 5 days of training, you will be able to play the next 3 days of the game and take part in shootouts (Outpost Defense, Departure Intervention).

Playtest starts on November 21. The participants of the previous PlayTest will be granted access automatically.

Dear fans,

We know you've been waiting for Contraband Police for a long time and we have great news for you!
The premiere of our game will take place in January 2023!
The effect we were able to achieve exceeded our wildest expectations and we are sure that you will also like it!
Over the last 3 months, we have managed to refine a lot of details, improve the overall performance as well as implement some of your ideas such as: TPP camera for vehicles, Weather system, Additional weapons (including grenades!), Smashing and exploding objects.

We are currently only working on balancing (economy, opponents, documents) and we have a lot of fun going through our work!
Soon you will also be able to enter the world of Acaristan and decide about its fate.

Stay tuned for our upcoming trailer.

Best,
Crazy Rocks Team

Comrades!

As we haven't written anything for a long time, here are some news for you!

Recently, we've managed to complete the whole game in the story mode and we're now after first big wave of fixes (almost 400 small tweaks to harder tasks)
We decided to record additional dialogues for drivers. From now on they will make comments on the current situation in the country.
After rebuilding terrain, roads and locations, it's time for the characters!
We managed to improve the appearance of their faces, eyes, hair and clothes.
Hair and beards now benefit from a new system that ensures a better connection with the head. The style of all hair and clothes has been refined to better reflect the realities of the era.
The work is slowly coming to an end, and we can't wait to show you the result.

Best,
Crazy Rocks Team

Comrades!

Each of you is curious when Contraband Police is coming out and why we are postponing the release date again... Well, last month the game passed its first serious series of pre-release tests and there were some very interesting suggestions and important improvements that we need to implement so that you can fully enjoy gameplay and remember this title for a long time!

The entire Crazy Rocks team is motivated like never before because the current game build is already looking great!

We have completed and implemented all planned game mechanics, sounds, graphics. Everything runs very smoothly and nicely. In March, we also managed to record over 200 voices (6 actors in total), create a complete set of 60 achievements, improve the vehicle system and shootings!

We have created a new, much more interesting system for searching for contraband, which will also work great in the VR version. Smuggler markers will only be visible under the UV flashlight!


The convoy mission turned out much better than we expected!


I am asking you for a little more patience and keep your fingers crossed for the success of our work and soon you will be able to visit our unique world, face the tasks and experience an interesting story that you can shape yourself!

Best,
Stan

Comrade!

There is one small detail that I forgot to mention during your training.
We have some uninvited guests from time to time...
According to the KGP services, they are thugs from the Black Serpents smugglers gang led by the infamous Boris Oberankov.
You must defend our outpost at all costs!
Comrades policemen will be faithful to help.

The Nation is counting on you!

After our Prologue was so kindly received (88% of positive reviews out of 2,185), together with our great publisher, we decided to invest even more in the game!
Two talented people have joined the CrazyRocks team: Dawid (3d artist / level designer) and Adam (junior programmer).
Now there are five of us, we are perfectly harmonious and our works are progressing much more dynamically!
So far, we didn't want to reveal the progress of our work because we had to concentrate on creating new beautiful places, stable mechanics, sounds, music but I think now's a good time to finally reveal some secrets.
You've been waiting long for the game and we'll do our best not to let you down!

Since the release of the Prologue, the game has undergone many important changes and improvements, such as:

Thorough reconstruction of the terrain and road system, thanks to which, the world of Acaristan looks even more realistic and the new, winding roads allow for more interesting travels and more dynamic chases.


We have already completed 9 out of 10 planned locations where you will play many interesting and dangerous missions (story and side).
The places you know from the Prologue have been remastered and better suited to combat.




We now have a total of 5 different firearms also used by NPCs: Pistol, Shotgun, Submachinegun, Rifle and Sniper Rifle. We also added an aiming option for player (RMB).
Our allies and opponents use the Cover System, but at certain times they can still rush and even attack melee at close range.



The only expenses during the Prologue were purchases from Vlad and the daily costs of maintaining the outpost. There was also a mention of expanding the warehouse and that was it...
The computer at the office allows you to find out about the daily costs, hire staff, upgrade buildings and buy new vehicles!



If you think that the border crossing in Karikatka is a peaceful place, you are wrong. Your outpost can be attacked without a warning by Blood Fist rebel groups and the Smugglers Gang.
Hire additional policemen to help repel the attacks.
Over time, these attacks will become more and more dangerous. Upgrade your staff to increase your chances of survival.


A good job deserves a reward and a little luxury. Upgrade your quarters to gain more health and perception points needed to check documents.


In time you will need new police cars. Each has it's unique destiny: Zaved may be the best option for fast pursiuts while Grazduk can transport multiple prisoners at once.


During the game, you will receive various regulations from the Ministry of Transport regarding the admission rules.
They are related to important events in Acaristan, such as: Conflict of States, Economic Boom or Pandemic.
During some events, drivers will be required to have additional documents, such as a vaccination card.


Running out of tools or magazine space? The prison is overcrowded and you don't feel like going for a ride?
From today, for a certain fee, you can call Vlad or one-time police transport!


The information board will still provide you with clues about possible smugglers, but you also need to look for the Smuggler Markers on the parts.
There are several types of markers, and they are quite hard to spot. As the game progresses, there will be more and more smugglers, but they will be harder to spot!


We are currently working on refining all locations and we are putting together story missions.
The last thing I want is to spoil the plot, so I will just say that there will be some shootings, some detective work and you can complete each mission in 2 different ways and reveal other possible endings of the game!

Stay tuned for more interesting News From Acaristan!

Cheers,
Stan & CrazyRocks Team
