Hey guys Just a quick summary as to what the "plans" are going forward if any of you are interested. The idea is to work on both Ultra Cop content and the next game thing i planned a while back, and will switch between them occasionally to reduce the chance of burnout/fatigue. Really want to improve my output in 2025 going forward. Will obviously keep fixing any bugs in the meantime too ːsteamthumbsupː The original roadmap i posted on CARNAL's page was as follows: [list] [*]Ultra Cop (2024) [*]Saturn's Gaze (2025) [*]Unnamed Car combat game (2025?) [*]CARNAL: Reborn, a free remaster update (2026?) [/list] These things are not concrete obviously, as i'm just one dude and life can sometimes throw curve balls at your face. But that is the longish term plan so far. [h1]Ultra Cop Content[/h1] I've started to make new content for Ultra Cop, and when it's finished it'll be added as a free update. A lot of you asked for more levels and i honestly wasn't initially planning on having the game be anything more than it is now, but seeing as you're all such cool dudes I couldn't say no <3 [url={STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45253929/6a550859eb6a67f55e872562d5baab0f562a5a75.gif][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45253929/6a550859eb6a67f55e872562d5baab0f562a5a75.gif[/img][/url] ^You guys^ Here's what i'll try to add: [list] [*]Four main missions [*]Two Survival Mode maps [*]Four new Primary weapons [*]Difficulty selector [*]More achievements* [*]Any cool ideas along the way [/list] The aim is to have the new levels be more intense, impressive and hopefully fun. I've taken notes of the things you guys asked and will try to do them as best i can. Can't reliably predict when this stuff will be completed, but it will be somewhere in 2025. The way i made these levels takes a bit longer than they did in CARNAL, cause i was trying to make them like how the professionals did back in the day. I'm not them, so it took way longer than it probably needed to :D *The achievements are still in a weird place right now, if you've finished any of the levels you probably saw that the achievements don't have pictures/icons. My best guess is that the game is still not considered as trustworthy or a real game. This was the same for CARNAL, but it eventually shifted towards the "Profile Features Limited" status. Ultra Cop is still sus as far as Steam is considered, so that means there won't be any profile badges, trading cards, backgrounds or emotes until they think the game is real or successful, i.e makes enough money. The game is not qualified for those features yet. I still don't know how much money is enough according to Valve, but CARNAL never reached that threshold, so i'm not sure what Ultra Cop's chances are. So i'll add the achievements, but know that it may never show on your profile or show as "Completed" in your games list. Whether Ultra Cop is good or sucks the [b]big one[/b] is not the be all end all honestly, as the fact that the game even released is a huge miracle in my eyes, especially after three and a half years of not getting anything done and fighting with the asperger's. This release has given me energy to continue and hope that i can make more stuff, breaking the dry spell in a way. Thanks for giving the game a chance, and know that i appreciate any feedback you guys can give. It's a humbling/terrifying experience, especially when i break the game with updates lol [h1]Saturn's Gaze[/h1] It's a working title but maybe it'll stick who knows. The initial idea was to make a stealth game in the vein of Thief/Splinter Cell. After some pondering and looking at what a lot of you guys like, i'm thinking that perhaps a pure stealth game is not what most are looking for, i could be very wrong, please let me know. So the concept has shifted towards something of a mixture, where the main campaign revolves around shooting crap and driving a motorcycle, and having a seperate campaign where you control a different character that has to use stealth to survive. It will have a PSX/PS1 style and i will slavishly try to make it an authentic 5th Gen experience. For the sake of not boring anyone with dumb details, the premise came from a quick sketch i made a couple years back on an old ass Samsung tablet. Please excuse my afwul art lol: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45253929/b9b5bb63d49951cafe841e94c1b1e3952168ca55.png[/img] It'll involve vampires, bloodlines, nephilim/cryptids and blowing shit up. In no particular order. Think John Carpenter's Vampires (1998) mixed with Blade (1998). [i][b]Ok maybe that's too cool of an ideal for me to reach realistically, so temper expectations lol[/b][/i] I fucked up with PAGAN, and that has spurred me to focus on doing something and sticking with it to the end. I'm gonna go for it, and like i mentioned above, will work on this on and off with the hope of releasing a finished game in 2025, taking lessons learned here with Ultra Cop. Hopefully this can materialize and be a cool/fun thing to play ːsteamthumbsupː [h1]Conclusion[/h1] The other games are a "we'll cross that bridge when we get there" sort of situation. My first priority is Ultra Cop content and updates, then Saturn's Gaze. Again thanks for showing any interest, and even more i'm grateful to all of you who bought Ultra Cop. My appreciation is through the roof, and i hope to do right by you guys going forward. Obviously as long as the following does not happen: [list] [*]I stop breathing [*]My computer explodes [*]The economy crumbles [*]UFO's attack [/list] If God keeps my moronic ass alive, expect something in the pipeline, obviously only if you're interested ːsteamthumbsupː [h2]In the meantime, please play great games, spend time with your loved ones and enjoy your lives to the fullest. 2025 will bring its own challenges. Enjoy the holidays!
