Anyone making a police adventure game?

[Sonny Bonds]

Hello all!

my first post and already a thread.

Anyways, I was wondering.. me being a very big fan of police games like Police Quest 1,2,3 and Blue Force, I would like to know if there are any talented game makers out there who are planning on making a police quest style game? I know that there are a few games like Larry Vales and the McReed game in which you star as a police officer, but they are basically humorous games, and I am looking for real police-procedure style adventure games. a game which involves arrests, shootouts (maybe) traffic accidents and such. Hope I was understandable enough.

Thanks for answering in advance.

I was also thinking.... Anyone planning on doing a remake for Police Quest 2 maybe? that would be so freakin cool. :o

7 megs- its in 3d. One of my favorite AGS games. It also has some really cool cutscenes.

Well, Pleurghburg is a classic AGS game, graphics aren't that great, but it has a good plot, and its tough.  Definitely not a comedy.

look for my pm

I do think Plearghburghs graphics are better than most of the early sierra games.

I think thats what it was trying to mimic. A PQ style game.

Thank you very much for the list,  I tried to d/l pleurghbeurg earlier today but it didnt work, so ill be trying it now. but to some of the links i get the message that im not allowed to see the particular web page?

But my real preference goes out to police games in which you are a streetcop so to say, uniformed and all that. (Sadly enough there arent too many out there, i know. )

Thanks for the reactions and the list.

[MrColossal]

Please stop double posting Joseph, modify your original post. Thank you.

And welcome to AGS, please don't double post. There's link that says modify when you edit your posts, use that to edit them to add more.

Thank you.

Slowly in developement

[Nacho]

Wow, that screenshot is amazing... Can you tell us more about it Custard?

[Privateer Puddin']

Right. Story, plot, characters etc and programming done by a friend Dan (originally the game was his, I offered to help out on some art)
I'll be handling background and character art (however credit goes to Petteri for those 4 people in the screenshot above)
That screen was finished on Sept 30th of 2003, and currently there are 12 completed backgrounds. I'm sure i've missed some important detail or something :p

http://koti.mbnet.fi/tk-/MRC/ wait 'till I get to the third one!

[Andail]

TK, why have five out of eight screenshots featuring the settings panels? And of the three remaining bg:s, two are the same....
somebody needs to sit down with their mspaint a bit more

[Ishmael]

Well, no-one's complained before... I'll put up some bg artwork if I'm bored enough.

Well then it's high time I started!

Bah dum tish. But seriously, he does have a point, the Quit, Save, and Load screens don't look so different that they all need to be represented, and not show any of the character or background art of the actual game.

[Ishmael]

If I had something to show, I would. Play the amost-official tech demo thingy while waiting.

[Sonny Bonds]

Very nice screenshot Privateer Puddin! could be very interesting!

BTW. I've played the McReed game just 2 days ago, and I played it all the way till the credits, (or at least when I held the bartender under gunpoint. )

[Doc Comic]

Oh, god, how I've wanted to design a Police Quest game that actually relates to Sonny.  PQ4 was okay, but anything after that I don't count as Police Quest.  I've had a few ideas running through my head, and I'm a fantastic writer, though I'm horrid when it comes to creating graphics.  I was thinking "Police Quest:  Sonny's Return".  Not only does the title show the character's back, but it also relates to the story in that Sonny has to come out of retirement to solve one more case.

What about the greatest of classics, Larry Vales?
