- We got a double-nomination at the New York Game Awards! - 14 January 2022
So suddenly we woke up to find out that Chicken Police is nominated in the Best Writing and Best World categories at the New York Game Awards. In addition to our little indie game, the competition includes HUGE names such as Psychonauts 2, Life Is Strange: True Colors, Resident Evil: Village, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, just to name a few. It's a giddy feeling, so we're still not fully recovered, and we can't wait to find out if this little rooster-detective game can win an award among the greats... But the most important thing is that this is in large part because you, the players and fans, are spreading the word about Chicken Police more and more loudly, and we just can't thank you enough for that! You are the best! (Keep your fingers crossed for us)! The Wild Gentlemen

- Anniversary Dungeoneering with the devs! - 8 November 2021
As you probably know, on November 5th last year, Chicken Police: Paint it RED!, our first standalone game, was released with the help of HandyGames (huge thanks to them from here too!) The reception of the game was cluckin' mind-blowing, we couldn't really get our head around it for a long time, but we didn't have much time to think either, because we started working on the fixes and updates right away to make the best experience possible with our first game as The Wild Gentlemen. (hope it worked!) It was a super-fast year, so it came as a pretty big surprise when it was over and we had to think about how to celebrate the game's 1st anniversary. What do we do?! (especially at the start of a new wave of covid...) Finally, we chose to be totally honest with ourselves, so we had a big (but also super-modest) nerd party with the team; we broke into a dungeon where every console and platform…
- 1st Anniversary & MacOS - 4 November 2021
This week marks the first anniversary of Chicken Police - Paint it RED! and with it, we're happy to say that the game now supports MacOS. What a year it has been. We've been overwhelmed with positive feedback from all over the globe since we released Chicken Police last year. It's truly the best feeling when a project that so many people have put so much time and effort in finds a community of people who love it as much as we do. So more than anything: Thank you from The Wild Gentlemen and HandyGames! Over the last year, the talented Wild Gentlemen from Hungary have worked tirelessly to fix bugs and update the game further and further. We believe that with the latest patches and the Director's Cluck Edition, Chicken Police has reached it's full potential and is the best version it can be. Thanks to the great success of the game, we've been able to finalize the MacOS version, which means…

- An ode to gamedev - and a cautionary tale of not giving a single cluck! - 22 June 2021
An ode to gamedev and a cautionary tale of not giving a single cluck! Gamedev is hard. Saying this today is almost self-evident. It looks silly. It's like saying: the sun is shining or after every night, there will be a day too. You know, like the never-ending cycle of darkness and light. So yes. It's obvious. Gamedev is hard. But no one could ever tell me how unbelievably hard it is before I started to work as a full-time game developer... My name is Bánk, I am the director-writer for Chicken Police, and this is the first finished game of my life. I rarely finish things. Yes, I finished some short stories, some comic books, even a self-published novel, but I have 100-times more unfinished work in the uncharted, dusty void of my drawers. Chicken Police was the first "several-year-long" project I ever finished. I say "I," but I really mean "Us"; a whole team of dedicated, professional, a…

- A dream, a studio and the birth of a video game // Dev diaries (re-post) - 24 May 2021
NOTE: This dev diary was originally posted in the summer of 2019, so it has some really strong nostalgic values. If you want to know more about us, the folks behind chicken police, speak with us in person on our new Discord Server! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F35193452%2Feaa01fee6f53f2ccd20e4d9ca7226f565bb62043.png A dream, a studio, and the birth of a video game Or how a YouTube video became an idea, how that idea became a dream, and I (Bánk – writer/designer) became a game developer in the end (what is also the beginning, of course)... There's a video on YouTube titled "Chicken Police", where two chickens beat a rabbit. (Check it out!) It's an authentic country video of someone's yard, where it seems chickens are the absolute rulers. When I first thought about creating Chicken Police, it was meant to be a short, 5-10-minute animation. A snappy, simp…

Have any questions about the game, the world, the characters, the lore, the plot or about the team, the studio, the possible sequels, or any continuations, or just have anything nice (or not nice...) to say to us? Here is your chance to do it - and our chance to finally speak with you in person! Click on the pic or HERE to join! Take care, folks! ;) The Wild Gentlemen PS: Also, you can join the HandyGames Discord server too, where you could ask for help or support!
