The criminal fraternity is finally coming to life! news - This Thing Of Ours

Hey crew! We are still here and we are doing great! Yes, it’s taken us a little longer but we have made some amazing progress lately. With that being, we have had some amazing feedback from our playtest team in terms of game mechanics and level design.

We are currently working through a list of bugs and adjustments that we are making towards that goal of releasing an early access game on steam where we have now become official developers and publishers. We are also preparing our final application for the game to be announced for early access! So what does all of this mean? It means that there finally is a light at the end of the tunnel! We are also in the process of releasing our very first trailers so keep your eyes peeled and ears open for incoming updates!

In other news we have had the pleasure of working with a UK rap artist known as T Capo who was kind enough to produce a rap song titled “This Thing of Ours” and you are right it’s based on this very game title.

So… What’s really new?

• Cover system: Yes you heard it here first! We are currently in the process of scripting in a cover system for the character which will mean once all hell breaks loose, you will be able to find cover behind different types of objects and walls.
• Traffic system: The traffic system is getting a revamp as we weren't happy with the current aspect of it. We really want to bring the world to life and make it feel realistic, so we feel like a smart AI is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.
• Mission implementation has begun: A large portion of Early Access storyline missions have started being implemented.
• 28 new NPC characters have been made.
• A number of new animations have been made to make the world feel much more alive and active.
• New interiors and buildings.
• New environmental graphics including signs, graffiti, and effects.
• New clothing items like Tracksuits, footwear, suits, jewelry, and misc.

Here are a few more screenshots from around the map that we have worked on the past few months!
