Crime Simulator News

[p]So, here we are. Less than one week till release![/p][p]It’s been a long road getting here, and as a solo dev, it’s surreal to see the finish line in sight. I’ve done my best to pack the game with details, features, and moments that I hope you’ll enjoy.
[/p][p]Let's jump to this week's highlights :D[/p][p][/p][h3]1. The upgraded drone can now disable cameras and security panels - perfect for stealthy infiltration. [/h3][p][/p][h3]2. Use the scanner to quickly locate key items, hidden notes with potential keypad codes, stacks of cash, and more. [/h3][p][/p][h3]3. Attacking an unaware and calm target guarantees a 100% knockout - strike smart. [/h3][p][/p][p]Extra note: We’re aiming to have trading cards ready for launch day - we’ll confirm closer to release.[/p][p] Extra note 2: The Game is right now under Steam Deck verification! Had some issues with small UI, but we’ve added a UI scaling option and are now waiting on Steam’s final re-check.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

Hi everyone! We're just 3 weeks away from release 🎉

Each week until launch, we'll be sharing some fun facts about the full game. Here's the first batch:

[h3]1. New customization options[/h3]

You can now customize your bags! We’ve also added new clothing options, such as a suit and additional balaclava colors.

[h3]2. Hand-to-hand combat[/h3]

Fighting doesn’t require a weapon anymore — you can now go hand-to-hand if needed.

[h3]3. Quick fix for unreachable tools in the hideout[/h3]

Left your tools in a hard-to-reach spot? Use the terminal to transfer them back to your truck instantly.
