First of all, thanks to everyone who came to our talk this year at EGX! We were thrilled to see so many people there!! It really does mean a lot to us. Here's a photo of Connor, Matt & Osian on stage in their shiny new COPA merch! Big thanks to Barclays games for their invaluable support.

Just a quick update from our dev team. We have made some fantastic progress recently with our development. A quick summary below of some work in progress to keep you in the loop!

We're proud to show you some before and after of our character design work over the course of the last couple of months. Here's a work-in-progress version of DCI Morgan Lewis (The first photos were taken end of 2022 and the second photos were taken this week)



We've also been hard at work creating custom clothing for the characters in the game. Here's a quick preview.

Our 3D artists are also creating authentic UK police assets. Here's a quick behind-the-scenes video of one of our 3D artists creating the PAVA canister used by UK police forces.

COPA Gaming

Hello, detectives! We've got some fresh updates from COPA Gaming that we can't wait to share with you. Our team has been super busy working on cool new stuff to make your crime-solving adventures even more thrilling. Let's dive right into what we've been up to!

Main Menu and GUI Overhaul: A Fresh New Look

We've given The Department's main menu and GUI a complete makeover! We wanted to make sure you feel fully immersed in the world of crime investigation, so we've spruced things up with a modern and sleek design.

Evidence Processing Minigames: Boosting Your Investigative Skills

Being a detective is all about digging into evidence. That's why we've been working hard on evidence processing minigames. Now, when you're at the police station, you'll have the chance to extract fingerprints from weapons found at crime scenes. These crucial pieces of evidence will give you a major advantage in your pursuit of justice. Sharpen your skills and pay attention to every little detail. Solving the toughest cases will depend on your mastery of evidence processing!

Studio Growth: Becoming the Best COPA Gaming

We're thrilled to share that COPA Gaming was recently a part of a UK-wide program called Indie Labs Games Accelerator program! A Handful of games companies from across the UK were selected to be a part of the 2023 cohort and we spent time in Glasgow, Cardiff and London learning about business development for video games in addition to a lot of other useful skills!

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the entire detective community. Your ongoing support and feedback mean the world to us. Your enthusiasm keeps us motivated and drives us forward every single day. The Department/Trosedd wouldn't be the same without your unwavering commitment to justice.
Remember, you're always invited to join us on our official forums and social media channels. We'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and even your own crime-solving stories. Your voices matter, and we want to make sure The Department/Trosedd grows and evolves in ways that resonate with all you awesome detectives out there.

Thank you for your unwavering dedication to unravelling mysteries and seeking justice within The Department/Trosedd. Stay tuned for more thrilling updates, because we've got lots more in store for you in the coming weeks and months. Together, we can make a game we are all proud of!
