Hey, officers!

For the last several weeks we’ve been transferring the project to GameMaker Studio 2. Finishing this part of the development process allowed us to proceed to implementing some of the features we had planned for quite a while. As you can see on the gif, Police Stories is now both working on Mac and has a controller support!

For now the Right Stick is responsible for aiming, which isn’t very convenient. We’re going to upgrade it with a more classic twin-stick approach, plus a special button combination to command your partner. Luckily, the menu is optimized for the controller since the very beginning, so most of the work is already done.

Adding a controller support required us to upgrade the whole input system. It turned out to be a good thing, as now we’re able to implement changing control keys more easily.

After finishing this part of the development, we’re moving to widely anticipated Couch Co-op. Aside from the tech side, it also includes update of the HUD.

• Suspect’s AI improvement – Escaping from the room or the level
  
• Destructible walls (not every wall will be destructible)
  
• Difficulty Settings for each mission
  
• Tutorial tooltips
  
• Enhanced smoke/gas grenade mechanics

And don’t forget about the Storyline. We have some progress there as well! Even though mentioned features will take quite a time in implementation, we believe that they are necessary to make a game lots of people will enjoy.



We really appreciate your support. Thank you!

Dear Friends!

The new update for Steam version of Prime World: Defenders 2 has been released! Below we present a complete list of new features and fixes, which will take effect once the patch is uploaded.

Hotkeys for actions in the battle, activation and revocation of the spells have been added:
Space — pause;
F — speed-up;
N — summon the next wave;
1–4 — use a spell;
RMB (right mouse button) – revoke a spell.

Mouse wheel scrolling speed has been increased.

Rating window has been added to the game.

A problem that prevented some users from unlinking the game from Facebook has been solved.

Hey guys and gals,

just a quick update regarding the Steam Cards.

As of now the Collector's Edition cards and badges are up and running. Sorry it took so long but it should all work now, and you can finally earn your badges.

As for the Stand Alone episodes, we've made some changes and hopefully they should work as well. If not, there's not much to do about it at this point as the game was made free and as such isn't qualified for card drops.

Again, this was our fault and we'll continue trying to find a solution or a workaround for this.

If the CE cards are still not dropping or if you have any other issues, please let us now.

Have a great week guys and have fun :)
