Hi, I wanted you all to have the first glimpse of the new game I developed, CrimeCity, ready for public release in about two weeks from now. The game will be published by Games2Gaze, a Greek publishing company. It's a casual-type of game, I guess it belongs to the RTS genre. Be sure to check the ingame Help (Tutorial) before playing. Some credits are in order: - The enemy & friendly AI code was based on the Perfect AI series (AUM) by my favourite guy, George Pirvu. - Level design by another GS forum member, ancientIdol. - Title theme, as always in my games, by the incredibly talented Pedro Camacho(although the in-game music in this demo is from CounterStrike because the original theme is still in the works). Download link (45 mb) ANY comment or report for bug will be greatly appreciated Cheers.

Startup failure Error E355 Quote:
Error E355: Startup failure A published engine could not start. Possible reasons are modifications to the executable, resource, or script after publishing. This can also happen if the .CD folder contained old content. Delete the .CD folder and publish again.
Quoted: The Manual

hey, your idea is pretty funny but your game still needs a lot of work. textures are way too dark. some gfx have no smooth edges. just one friendly word of advise. dont put a "buy this" mark in your game as long as you use other ressources that you dont have copyright or license for. especially sounds, fonts, bitmaps, maps!... you could get into big trouble for this, no matter if you ever sold a single unit.
however, polish this idea up and it can be a funny game. good luck with it!

Its a good concept and gameplay is good too. There should be some more cities for patrolling. Some times the cars pass through the buildings, which is not at all convincing. And in one particular situation, the criminal car was not visible either on map or in city. There might be some bugs lurking which might be putting the car far away. But the overall design is good and can be enhanced by implementing some day-night, and weather effects. Also there should be a camera tilt and pan so that player can adjust the camera more easily. There can be key bindings for selecting the 1,2,3,4 car, which will make player more involved.

Very good concept and the gameplay seems to be working. It's pretty addictive already actually! Only critics I have is that the game isn't exactly very good looking and that the concept begs for more options. For example policemen that can set spike-traps to slow cars down or roadblocks and so on. By the time the difficulty has reached a certain point, you'd probably want to give the player those kinds of abilities. Otherwise this game might become repetitive pretty quickly, Cheers

Looks pretty good but one down-side I can think of right now: There is no visual feedback when you have selected a police car. At least I didn't notice any, so I was never sure if I've successfully selected the car or not. I also always tried to draw a box around one of thoses cars for faster selection, but I guess this would lower the pace of the game, so just ignore it The hotkey idea of msl_manni is great and would make it a bit easier for my left-mouse-button
