Development Updates – 05

Officers, 👮‍♂️

Our today's report discusses the latest improvements added to the upcoming Early Access version of the game since the prologue's release. There's plenty to choose from, and we'll cover more in our next devlogs, but for now have our first picks:

• Character responses to gunshots: For improved realism, the game's characters will now have a broader range of responses to weapons being discharged or similar response-inducing situations, such as restrained suspects flinching if there's someone firing a gun nearby.
  
• Improved AI following: Targeting, positioning, providing cover. There are lots of factors a SWAT squad has to take into account when following their leader if they're to be safe and effective. We're working to optimize the various behaviors connected with these actions to make them as helpful to you as possible in single player.
  
• Equipment presets: Figured out a few gear setups you'd like to use when fulfilling different roles in the squad? Want to save them and freely change them when playing the missions either in single player or co-op? You'll be able to do just that with the preset feature. Our future updates will include default presets that can perform well in various situations.
  
• Character selection for co-op: Step into the shoes of your chosen officer in a multiplayer session of SWAT Commander. You'll be able to play the role of any of our brave officers!

We're hard at work testing, fixing, and further improving the game with such features! We thank you for the feedback you've been providing. Give our prologue a shot if you haven't yet and stick with us for the upcoming Early Access release! 📣

Over and out,
SWAT Commander Team
