- Regulators is RELEASED! - 21 May 2025
It's finally here: Regulators v1.0.0 is released. Hey I'm Pascal from OrangePixel, and I'm very pleased to have you check out my new game Regulators. It's been a long road to get the game to both a releasable state but also a GOOD state, I'm really proud of how this game turned out and actually still enjoy grabbing a recruit and going into a couple of missions of stealthy sneaking around and of course unloading my gun when all the stealth goes out the window! I hope you'll enjoy the game! If you like top-down shooters, and you enjoy some stealth/sneaking every now and then, then I'm sure you can appreciate all the features that came together to create Regulators! Don't forget to also grab a friend and play the local Co-Op mode.. it's a joy to sneak around together! Running into Issues? If you run into any problem, let me know either on the Discord, by mail (support at orangepixel.net) o…
- Final DEMO and BETA access - 30 April 2025
Grab the latest DEMO build, it's now the final pre-release demo and gives you the perfect impression of what this game will have to offer once it launches on May 21st 2025. Beta Test While the DEMO is freely available to everyone who wants to check out the game, I'm also running a more closed Beta test on the Orangepixel Discord. This is to do some stress testing and find any remaining "obvious" bugs and issues before the game launches. I'm excited! :) What's next The launch is now set in stone and will happen on May 21st - so I will be ironing out the final issues, prepare a nice little video Stream for the top of the Steam page, and I'll finally get this game out the door, it's been a long ride! Make sure to check out the Orangepixel YouTube channel if you want to see some of the many changes and improvements that have been made in the recent final stretch. Can't wait for you guys to…
- COOP Mode and a brand new experience - 25 September 2024
Regulators! Welcome to the fresh new DEMO for Regulator City: version 0.0.66 New in this version - Host of new Enemy types like Spittin Blog, Medooza, Scorpions, Spiders, and Ooze worms - New mission type: Hacking the mainframe - requiring you to defend your grounds for a couple of seconds - Shiny new interface to unify the whole game - Medooza-Nest missions (be quiet!) - Local COOP mode ( mostly tested, but things can go crazy at times ) What's next This build now brings a complete new experience both in the shape of the standard single player mission, but also by adding a sample (test) of the local COOP mode. Even though the version number just increased a bit, there are so many new things crammed in this demo that you should really just go and play it and see what the final Regulator City experience will be about as I'm now at the final stretch of development and closing in on a full…
- Try the latest build during PixElated festival! - 24 July 2024
Regulators! Grab your gear and suit up! a fresh new developer build is here for you to have some fun with. This demo has a lot of changes and improvements since v0.0.62 and the biggest feature is that your "team" is now a "duo", I've been playtesting this format for some months now, and I feel like it simply improves the game in various areas: - It removes a lot of chaos from the game area - It allows the player to focus on their own movement instead of constantly looking at what the team is doing - And it still saves the coolness of having this skillful buddy moving alongside you covering your back! You'll also run into a much improved level-up system for your team mate, bigger variation of enemies (including possessed furniture), different level maps and improved map layouts overall. So give the new demo a try and let me know what you think! For those having a Steam key for the Play t…
- New Demo v0.0.62 is here - a LOT of progress! - 3 May 2024
Work on Regulator City continues, be it a bit quiet lately. But that's mostly because I was head down into the code and working on so many details and aspects of the game, that doing a demo update always felt like it would be outdated the next day! But I'm happy to say that I finally got around to building a proper new demo build, and can't wait for you to take the game for a test-drive! This is still not a completed game, pretty much everything keeps improving constantly, but you should get a good solid amount of fun from playing the latest version. From the new mission-setup briefing and story, to the finer details of operating missions with your team backing you up, this demo should give you a nice sample of what the final game is heading towards when it releases later this year! Don't forget to drop a wishlist and tell your friends! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1892750/Regulat…
- Try Gauntlet of Power demo March 2024 - 22 March 2024
Dungeoneers and Adventurers! Heroes of Loot: Gauntlet of Power just received a brand new demo for you to come and play for free! This demo is one of the last ones before we release the actual game, so a perfect time to check it out and wishlist Gauntlet of Power: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2374320/Heroes_Of__Loot_Gauntlet_Of_Power/ PS: There is also a "closed" beta coming soon, for which you can sign-up over on the discord right now!
- Demo 0.0.51 - Leaner and meaner! - 14 November 2023
Grab your gear, and get ready to be shipped out into Regulator City! The new public demo is here (v0.0.51) and it is the one you've been waiting for! The changes list is extremely long, so you might not want to go through all of those things, but don't worry, I can highlight some of the key changes while you grab and wishlist the demo on Steam! I made many changes to the gameflow, this means an improved layout for the HQ building, but it also means the removing of the city-map view and only one mission per street (replacing the 3 missions per street). This all ensures better feeling of progress, and a smoother experience overall. The money-system and somewhat forced Gear-shop are also removed from the game. Instead you will find cool upgrade-crates spread across the games, including some new weapon-unlock crates. You will always get a few extra gadgets when you return from a successful…
- Bigger demo, more gameplay, and adding the missing rogue-like features! - 21 September 2023
When you start a project like Regulator City, there is a certain vision and idea of what you want the finished product to be like. Getting from that first idea to that vision is sometimes extremely easy and straightforward, but in the case of Regulator City it has been a massive path of many ups and downs. So it's hard to describe the relieve and many other feelings that unleash the moment I noticed that Regulator City became that game I originally had in mind. A great mix between action, stealth, coolness of leading a team, and finally the rogue-like elements I try to put in all my games. Before I dive into the specifics for this v0.0.50 demo update, PLEASE grab yourself a copy of the demo and make sure to wishlist the game, I can't wait for you to play it and enjoy it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1892750/Regulator_City/ The list of changes is LONG, so there's no way I'm going t…

- Grab the latest Regulator City demo: It brings all the toys and then some! - 3 August 2023
It’s here! The new demo, and it’s a BIG one in terms of changes, improvements and steps towards the final game. The list of changes is extremely long, so let me quickly talk through some of the highlights while you download the latest demo ! So where to even start? There’s so many improvements here, from the character-select screen showing more info on the special abilities, to the flow of things on how you get your team and you can now have the computer randomly create your team (I’m a big fan of such features, cause I personally don’t like fiddling with all these settings in games). The whole level-up/upgrade system is replaced with a much more straight-forward Gunstore that appears after every mission. Same for finding upgrades to weapons and ammo inside buildings, this is now much easier done with clear upgrade-boxes spread across a building. Players who enjoy sneaking and stealth w…
- New playable demo: New upgrade structure and team select functionality - 2 June 2023
Another month, and time for a new and improved demo of Regulator City. Based on a lot of feedback from, well, everywhere and everyone, this demo is mostly a quality improvement demo, and not so many new features.. well.. maybe one or two! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1892750/Regulator_City/ As with the last demo, most of my attention has been put into making the game more user-friendly and clear in what the player has to do. One main piece of the puzzle is markers that guide you to certain key-locations. So if you push a button that opens a door, but you have no idea where the door is or what is happening, then you will notice bright orange markers leading you from the button to the door that just opened. Same with the extraction point, once you completed a mission. Many people told me they got lost on that part, so there is no a clear path towards the exit of the map. I also modi…
- Regulator City Demo v0.0.46: Onboarding Smoothness - 20 April 2023
Almost a month after the last demo, I bring you a brand new demo with the main focus of "onboarding players" and making sure things are more clear and obvious to especially newer players. I'm slowly building a roadmap towards a release, and with this demo the main focus was on creating a better experience for players which also makes the demo more usable for Streamers to showcase the game. So in the coming weeks/months I will be able to contact various streamers and see if they are interested in taking it for a spin. Regulator City will also be part of various events and things requiring a good demo, so I'm REALLY happy I got this out the door! A large amount of work has also been put into tweaking and perfecting the interaction with your Squad mates and also the enemies. It's a big improvement over the last demo, so make sure to check it out! (And don't forget to Wishlist the game) htt…
- Regulator City gets a new public demo - 30 March 2023
Hi! Just a short update to let you know that there is NOW a new Regulator City DEMO available ! Still in heavy development, but I'm very pleased with where the game currently is. There's a smoother game-flow experience (mission structure, city progress, all make more sense as you play) and there is even some on-boarding for new players in a short little "tutorial" level. You'll also experience a much better stealthy and sneaking-around experience to complete your missions! This demo also brings you a new playable character: Wrecking-ball ! His dash is VERY nice to use, and his Special ability certainly packs a punch ;) So please come and check it out, and if you haven't yet, wishlist the game! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1892750/Regulator_City/
- New demo dropping soon! Join in NOW! - 21 March 2023
Hey guys! Just wanted to do a quick update for all the followers/wish listers and future regulators! I'm currently working hard on getting a whole fresh new demo up and ready for you to sample, the last demo is from January, and the game has gone through a LOT of improvements and changes that it will feel like the last demo was just a 24 hour game jam version ( it wasn't ! .. but it will feel like that.. maybe! ) The new demo will focus on the new playable character: Wreckingball! His dodge move and special ability are now pretty much done, and I'd love to get feedback from players on the feel of it all. Personally I love him so much, that I've been playing with him exclusively since getting it all done! A lot of development time has gone into all the juicy stuff, we now have headshots, more gear to unlock, a better gameplay flow, and just in general a much better game as a result! I al…
