PAKO 4 News

[p]What's changed:

Gameplay loop
Instead of different missions, the gameplay now focuses on looting as much money as possible within the time limit. After a timer, there's an escape available by getting into the helicopter. If player doesn't survive to the escape helicopter, all the loot will be lost.

Crew
In stage selection menu, player can unlock up to 3 slots for assigning crew members. Different members grant different bonus effects into gameplay.

Indoor areas
When doing a robbery, there's now indoor areas where player can move, find a stash and escape.

Powerups
Sometimes looting a stash gives a random time limited powerup effect instead of money.


That's it for now, please let us know what you think on the Steam community forum!

[p]Hi! we are testing some new things.

+ Camera view: “Chase cam” can be toggled in pause menu or with keyboard \[1] / gamepad dPadDown
+ There’s “Getaway driver” missions which are PAKO2 style taxi runs and have temporary leaderboards also. Tip: Try shooting with the crew.
+ Various minor tweaks and fixes

The getaway driver missions will be bigger part of the game eventually. And we are at the same time prepping the new areas to be part of the game, which will prob mean some modifications to the North Paw area existing now. These are going to be pretty cool things eventually but we need to cook it bit more!

Meanwhile, please give us lots of feedback on these new things + old things + thing that are not there, it is Early Accesss so we like to keep the dialogue open![/p]
