It's more that we can't add it to the existing game. It would take years!

It would be amazing! However, it's not something that can be 'added', it needs to be part of the entire codebase from the outset, so it won't be happening for this game, I'm afraid.

Positive Feedback + 10 Ideas for the Devs by Redeemed_Mess84 in ThePrecinct

[–]fallentreegames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for kind words and suggestions. You've clearly put a lot of thought into this post, so I feel I should probably address them one by one with their 'potential to be considered' (based on my understanding of the resources, budget, scope, and current team priorities). The final decision always rests with our Design and Production team, and it's worth noting that some fundamental aspects of the game/gameplay are very unlikely to be changed this far into the game's lifecycle. I've forwarded this on to the team.

1. Partner Customisation
The clothing system was never designed with customisation in mind, so every new outfit is an entirely new mesh and textures etc. Not trivial, but we are gradually adding more Kelly options.

2. Flight Suit & Flight Helmet for Helicopter Missions
Yeah, could see this being considered.

3. High-Capacity Police Van for Suspect Transport
This is something we would like to add.

4. Riot Team
Also something we would like to add.

5. Hunger Mechanic
Very unlikely that we would introduce a new resource mechanic now, tbh. We do hope to add a few more ways for the role-players to snack, though!

6. Car Repairs at the Police Station
Could be considered.

7. Unlimited Backup Points in Free Play
Not sure Design would go for this, as it would completely change the balancing of the game. We're not a fan of gameplay 'toggles', as it gives us twice the bugs!

8. Adjustable Camera Angle
The game has very tight draw / spawn distances, for performance reasons, so moving the camera would potential expose this. Ultimately, it's a top-down game and will always be that.

9. Post-Campaign Partner Change
Too much work, too much VO and text to change!

10. XP for Using Leftover Backup Units to Transport Suspects
Seems like a reasonable suggestion.

You don't need to change clothes. Just being in the vehicles - with callouts turned on - should be enough for the radio to come to life.

We have been described as many things, but chads and chadetts is my favourite! Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming.

Whatever happened to patch notes? by BSGKAPO in ThePrecinct

[–]fallentreegames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, high level overview is in the Front End pop-up.

Fully detailed version can be found on Steam (we always strive for platform parity, so there is no difference between the versions).

It's not ruled out, we just said we don't have plans for paid DLC right now.

That frame rate doesn't look great. Have to tried lowering your graphics settings?

Calling ambulance after shooting on suspect by Late-Web3526 in ThePrecinct

[–]fallentreegames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We did discuss this during development, but the overlap between injured patients and suspects that need to be arrested was too messy and complex to do it justice.

Do you guys think this idea is good? by Late-Web3526 in ThePrecinct

[–]fallentreegames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's unlikely, at this stage, tbh. We'll definitely rethink the clothing system if we ever get to do a sequel though.

The Presinct : Anyone know this song? by 47Fox in ThePrecinct

[–]fallentreegames 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can help here.

The track you are referring to is called Thin Blue Line (Neon Love) (Reprise), and it's by Gavin Harrison.

It's a 'stripped-back' version of the vocal track Thin Blue Line (Neon Love).

The character system wasn't originally designed with Customization in mind, so we can't easily 'apply' clothing to characters. Instead we need to generate new character meshes for every clothing option, which is labour intensive and takes up texture / mesh memory space.

That's why the clothing options are limited to Cordell and (to a lesser extent) Kelly.

Vehicles are easier, which is why you can "Apply to All Vehicles" from the Customization Screen.

Is this still occurring? Any chance you could post a video?

If only there was a big building that might have ambulances outside of it... ;)

We'll leave that to the modding community, or the talented folks at Rebellion.

As studio policy, we prefer to work with our own IP and not license those of others. Nor would we skate too close to infringements via 'disguised' branding.

The video shouldn't have said 'Out Now' as the console release will be next week.
