- Patch v1.2017.11.29 on the way! - 30 November 2017
Hi All, I'm about to release a patch this week, and there are quite a few additions to this one: Robbery Indicators - If you've selected the Rookie as an Alias (obtainable by bringing 5 Robbers to the Police Station), you will see on-screen alerts as to which direction crimes are being committed. Injury Indicators - If you've selected the First Responder as an Alias (obtainable by bringing 5 injured to the Hospital), you will see on-screen alerts as to which direction injured people are located. Fire Indicators - All Aliases will not see on-screen alerts as to which direction fires are located. Melee Overhauled I reworked the melee hit-box system (it is no longer based on the player's sprite). You can now hit Rats, Aliens, and some Bosses. Cops still don't like to see you swinging your fists, so be careful! Cops and Enforcers will now swing at you when they are close and upset enough. M…

- Patch v1.2017.11.18c - 19 November 2017
Hello everyone! This patch is currently in the Beta line (which is publicly available), and should be released very soon. Some of its features include: Boss Indicators - You will now be able to see where the bosses are located (currently only 2) Fame - In addition to cash, you now can also earn Fame. It doesn't do anything yet, but in future releases it will start to effect the strength of both your allies and enemies once that dynamic has been added to the game. Score Effects - Earning Fame or Cash will display in an arcade style. For instance; when you either grab and imprison criminals, or grab and bring the injured to the hospital, you will now see cash and fame effects appear in the game screen. Factory Location added - The Mecha-Alien level is now located in the Factory... and is now where the Cleaner Alias is employed. Some Bug Fixes You may need to refresh the world for this one…

- Small Patch v1.2017.11.10 - 11 November 2017
Hey all, This update just has a few changes revolving around text. I'm in the process of converting the Arial font to ones that fit a more comic style. A "handwriting" font has been added for most of the text you see. Please let me know what you think about it... I'm not fully sold yet. There will be more coming soon, specifically for the city management info panel. To accomodate the new text's sizing, I changed and cleaned up some of the in-game verbage. More coming! -Jeff

- Quick Revert - 29 October 2017
Hi all, Due to a bug where some people are stuck on the loading screen, I had to do a quick revert to the old version. For this to work, you may need to verify the local files by Right-Clicking SUPER in the games list, selecting Properties, Selecting the Local Files tab, and selecting the Verify files option. I will try and get this resolved by tomorrow (Sunday). Sorry about that all! -Jeff

- Patch v1.2017.10.28a - 28 October 2017
Hey all, This patch has much less than I wanted it to have. Due to the Santa Rosa fires, my job, and a wonky computer... things have taken a bit longer than I anticipated. But excuses aside, here are the following changes: The Options Save Code has been revamped. Hopefully it will save correctly on all machines, please let me know what issues you have. Some introductory instructions have been added. The games dev page has been updated to help aid in funding, so I can release quicker updates. I will try an release an update in 2 more weeks. Please bear with me. Also, I'd like to thank you all for your constructive words toward this pre-release. You guys are awesome! -Jeff
