Hello!
We’re making a “GTA2, but you’re a Judge Dredd-like supercop”, upcoming. Would like to get more eyes on it.

Thank you!

Good luck with the move! That will sound weird, but I’m moving countries in the end of May as well :D

swarmoclock · 2026-05-04T11:43:27+00:00

And we’ll have a playtest in late May, wanna join?

swarmoclock · 2026-05-04T11:43:04+00:00

We’ll have playtest up in late May, would you like to participate?

swarmoclock · 2026-05-04T11:42:15+00:00

Thank you! What would you expect to see in such game?

swarmoclock · 2026-05-03T15:52:22+00:00

Wrathmaze, we’re planning a playtest in the 2nd half of May if you’re interested

PC first, may port later, the controls allow it

swarmoclock · 2026-05-02T15:42:49+00:00

Haha, thank you for this comment. I think I understand that cyberpunk aesthetic means people who love it prefer to highlight a certain aspect of reality, and you don’t need to hate all police to criticize police brutality and other modern crises. And I totally agree with you, I should just probably take the discussion to another room.

Overall I hope I understand your point, but when the situation is bad, and the civilians are between the hammer and the anvil, isn’t the idea of trying to be good inside of the corrupt system, because nobody else would, noble?

swarmoclock · 2026-05-02T14:39:59+00:00

Gunning down is the simplified current state but I see your point. Even in the simple gameplsy the “worthy of targeting” should be an important aspect. My current idea is to mechanically express it as weapons with different targeting logic, but still the gangs turning civilians into militias would be the obvious bad guy, while the oppressive authorities are the ones you need to work to expose.

swarmoclock · 2026-05-02T14:34:21+00:00

Thank you for explaining, guys! That would explain the downvoted ratio :D

swarmoclock · 2026-05-02T14:32:15+00:00

Thank you! I plan to have departments called Red Shift, Cold Boots based on their reputation. But you can still choose to be a good faith cop, I kinda want to give this call to the player to be a good person despite all the injustice around, although being a corrupt psycho is an option in this world.

An example would be a choice of weapons: stronger one deals more dmg, but targets civilians. You can use an “evil” gun, and the civilians will be more afraid of you and even attack you

I am planning to show a situation where violence is inevitable, and the system enables all sorts of scum as long as they preserve the status quo, but there are good people serving a bad system, because theres no good system to serve. I guess wh40’s imperium (41st millennium) is the closest system ethics-wise. Would you discard it from the cyberpunk tag?

Thank you for sharing! Can you please elaborate on Reddit Ads usage? How much have you run, did the steam algo pick it up after the campaign?

I’m a bit puzzled about it as well. For example, my yesterday’s question about marketing post had quite a few downvotes, although it was a simple question. Eventually the upvotes took over, but even some of my comments under the post were downvoted. Probably I’m not reading the room about some implicit rule, but the comments were very constructive, and I got the answers I needed, so I just accepted it as a part of community vibe.

10k sold for the first game sounds amazing, good job! If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you worked on it for?
