WELCOME, OFFICERS!In Police Stories 2, not every problem can be solved with gunfire. Sometimes you’ll need to pick locks, disarm explosive devices, provide first aid, or complete special objectives right in the middle of an operation.Today, we want to show you several new mechanics and tools we’ve been working on over the past few months, as well as some updates to tools we’ve already talked about before.A Multitool Instead of a LockpickUntil now, you may have seen a lockpick in screenshots or videos on our social media (by the way, here they are). Alongside it, we originally planned to add a

WELCOME, OFFICERS!It's been a while!A lot of time has passed since our last devlog, but we're here to catch you up. Let's start with the levels.Have you ever seen a level before it actually looked like itself?Most players only ever see the finished version complete with detailed environments, enemies, and intense firefights.Every developer has their own approach to level design. It all depends on the game's genre, its mechanics, and the experience they want players to have. Today, we'd like to show you where a Police Stories 2 level begins and the journey it takes before you step into it for t

WELCOME, OFFICERS!There is an enemy and there is a partner. There are a couple of clever devices on the belt. A good old Colt in your hands.What else is there on the level?Interactive elementsInteractivity of the environment in any game is always cool. Any little thing you can “touch” adds a bit of atmosphere and immersion. And if this interactivity affects the gameplay, then it also opens up new possibilities for the player.As we create the game, new ideas for gameplay and atmosphere are constantly popping up. Turn on the TV and the lights in the room? Great, let's do it. Shoot a steam pipe,

WELCOME, OFFICERS!Today we'll talk about the foundation of any organization - personnel.When we were planning the second part of the game and had already decided to create recruitment for different cops, we faced a serious question.How would they differ? Just in stats - that's boring. Making a significant difference in gameplay would make it more of an RPG than a tactical police shooter.Keep the atmosphere of the first part and add a bit of variety to each mission. That's roughly how we formulated this goal. Everything written below is our first draft of the stats, and some will likely be adde

Welcome, officers! In our fourth devlog, we’ll be talking about the biggest difference from the original Police Stories - our police precinct. This is the place where every mission begins and ends, the territory where our officers work tirelessly. And you, as the precinct chief, are the one planning all operations.At first, we had plenty of different ideas for how to set up our “base.” One concept was a top-down view of the entire precinct as a schematic. Another was a simple list of departments. We even considered making the whole precinct a separate level that you could freely walk around.We

Hello, officers!In our third devlog, we want to talk about things that have a direct impact on your experience — specifically, the improved controls and the updated command menu for your AI partner.Speaking of controls, we can’t skip over the most inconvenient thing - grenades. Let’s start by remembering how it used to work. Throwing a grenade was practically its own mini‑operation: approach the door → grab a grenade → open the door → take aim → throw → move out of the blast zone → and finally, start the breach. Yeah… that’s a lot of steps for one throw. :)We felt that this was a bit over the

🚨 Greetings, Officers!"It’s devlog time!"This is our second devlog, and today we’re talking about something no cop can survive without — the tools of the trade.🏚️ A Precinct Where Hell Is Just Another MorningIn the story, you’re given command of a police department in the toughest part of the city. Budget? Barely exists. Support from above? Forget it. Calling in SWAT? That’s a distant luxury — not a viable option.Remember — you’re on your own.But in return, the governor turns a blind eye to… certain methods. Sometimes, the law has to bend — just enough to keep it from breaking.🎒 What’s in t

Hello, Officers. Starting today, we're launching a devlog series for Police Stories 2. Our goal isn't just to share the development progress, but also to give you a glimpse into our inner workings — what inspires us, which systems we’re reworking, and how each one is shaped by our core principle: decisions have consequences.First — a quick look back at the original.Police Stories was a game about tactical clarity and the chaos of the moment. Every room was a puzzle. Every move — a risk. But we wanted more:More consequences beyond the raidsDeeper character developmentGreater variety in tactical

Heya! We're aware that no one likes to read long off-topic updates, so let's get straight to the point: two of our games will be participating in the upcoming Steam Next Fest, and we'd love it if you'd give their demos a chance. We can't promise a complete match to your tastes, but the quality is guaranteed. The first one is Die in the Dungeon, a turn-based roguelike game where you don't use cards, but dice. Deal with enemies by combining powerful dice on your board, boost their effects with magical relics, and risk it all hoping for a good roll on unexpected encounters. Oh, and the protagonis
