British Police Simulator

Hi there, I am making a british police simulator and im just looking for peoples opinions, ideas, and feedback. im not going to bore you with details about the game you don't want to know so im going to keep it quite simple

• The game will be of a simulation type, but its primary function is to entertain.
• It will be both singleplayer and multiplayer patrols, but will be based around multiplayer patrols.
• The content of the game will be expanded to other countries after the initial release.
• The game will(most likely) be free to play, but extra content may come at a price.
• There will be a wide range of in game assets such as different characters and vehicles for different police forces and different cities to patrol in.
• You will earn experience from successfully performing legal traffic stops, stop and searches, and carrying out pursuits and arrest warrants. With experience you earn ranks.

I am currently working on this game entirely on my own so if theres anyone who would like to join me, whether it be in modeling, programming, etc, please email me at: kieranchandler15@gmail.com

UPDATE: I am still looking for modelers if there is anyone who can help please email me, Thanks


EDIT: Please visit the facebook page, and please like it.

Here are some update videos i have uploaded already:

 

Hey that's pretty neat.

I did this a while ago but gave up cause it was too much work left and I was pissed off with the physics: http://vimeo.com/71577893
How do your cars move?

 

Nice! that is one of the things i'm really struggling with at the moment, i've been desperately looking for some help with the traffic AI!

i have been using the "Alternate Vehicle Physics" from the unity car tutorial, but the thing is its really bad. like the vehicles spin out at certain speeds you can't turn at speeds higher than about 5mph or the cars spin out and roll over. I recently managed to get my hands on edy's vehicle physics, but im struggling to manually convert it from javascript to c#

Is there any chance you could help me with the traffic?

 

I can give you my project if you want. Realistic physics is a problem though.

Did you model those cars?

 

Are you going to have a paper-shredding mini-game?

It looks nice - but I haven't seen a single British town with palm trees...

 

Yeah it looks great so far! Will I get to mount a horse in this game?

 

Really? That would be great! i can incorporate the physics into it i think.

I dont take credit for the vehicle models as i ripped them from GTAIV, they were ripped from Forza originally i think then converted to GTA

 

Ermm i wasn't going to but could include it if that's a request?

I hadn't thought of that but that's a good idea, i could have mounted police as a role in the game.

 

I thought it was common knowledge that the south coast of England is tropical?

That model in the first to videos was just a placeholder i have a slightly better one in the latest video

 

Uploading zip now. The scene you want is s7.
The secret to getting it working is to setup the road network properly.
I made some crappy road prefabs but you can make any shape roads you want.

 

Okay. is it node based?

 

Yeah its got like a menu and you click to place nodes that are basically the road.
Then these can be put in prefabs so you can essentially click to place roads.
But you still have to join them up manually which is a pain for large networks.

 

I'll PM you so to not clog up the thread

 

If you're trying to be as realistic as possible you should add alley lights to the front and sides of the light bar.

 

They have already been implemented, but i haven't yet added a button on the UI to toggle them. They should be demonstrated in the next update video

Thanks

 

Looks cool! I hope to see it progress further, these things become very complicated quick!

 

I live in the South of England, and I've yet to see a palm tree - although in December-January I could have sworn that I'd been transported to Venice...

 

just to clear some of the confusion up this is the model im using at the moment. No palm trees, but also no buildings

 

Nice sunlight and sky effects. But you were driving on the right side of the road, whereas in England they drive on the left.

Aren't British police only armed with billy clubs and bowler caps?

 

Did you make this map yourself?

 

Sorry, not really a request, that was an attempt at satire referencing the recent news that the Met had destroyed a whole load of evidence to do with corruption in the force: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26621322

Playing as mounted police would be cool. But it would also be really cool to see a balanced depiction of a police force in a game, more than either grunts to shoot, or righteous bringers of peace. A lot of stuff the police do is really unsavoury (the above story, how they treat protesters, etc...) and a game which has these, as well as the good work the police do would be very interesting.

 

How does the British police service treat protesters? I know how they treat rioters.
They impotently stand around watching them destroy peoples homes and businesses..
Eventually, civilians had to step in to do the job they pay the police to do.

If you're trying to suggest that the British police service is some kind of authoritarian, heavy handed enforcer of the law, sadly, you are mistaken. That would be a huge improvement on the current situation, they seem to be afraid to lift a finger, which is infinitely worse.

 

Nope, I downloaded it for free at http://tf3dm.com/
the model itself is completely messed up but the prefab looks like that

 

I always forget that you drive on the left side of the road in the UK. When I saw you do that I was thinking "wow this is some crazy corrupt cop".

 

Haha its because im so used to playing GTA, it just comes natural

 

Just a little update. I am still looking for modelers if there is anyone who can help please email me, Thanks

 

It would be cool if there were police dogs added into the game.

 

At first, watching the first update and maybe the second I was very anxious about this project. It is titled as being a British Police Simulator. However, the only potential British thing that could be seen was the car and the human model.

This being said, as of recent I can see more of a British Feel coming into the project. The houses remind me of old 80's council houses which is good. The AI cars from the screenshot also don't look like they drive very well very British.

So, my first impressions where bad. Although now, they're better and I can see some sort of potential should the developer follow the correct design path.

 

Can I just ask, are you still doing it? If you are, I would put the spike strip (stinger in Britain) in the game. Plus, where will you be able to download it from? I hope the game goes to plan. By the way, it looks really good so far! Good Luck!!

This is Kiran Creasey here fan of simulation
I was wondering can this be on a Mobile device instead of PC or Laptop and can you make it for Google Play, Amazon Appstore and Apple Appstore
Also will this be a free Simulation what your working on please feel free to contact me:

Did you ever watch a TV series called "SledgeHammer"? Maybe you can turn your sim/game into a DellBoy (only fools and horses) varient of that, but as police, could be epicly comic. I'd be willing to give some ideas on what to add/dialog for that
