Fashion Police Squad news & patch notes

To celebrate fashion crimes now being committed EVERYWHERE (including on the go!), Fashion Police Squad is now 15% off! Now's your chance to join the ranks and stamp out socks and sandals for good! Fashion Police Squad is OUT NOW on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch!

The Fashion Police Squad has been mobilized, as things in Trendopolis are not gucci *at all*. Baggy pants... dull suits... sightings of socks with sandals?! Something is going down, so the FPS are grabbing their Belts of Justice and Tailormade Sewing Machines, and heading out to Vera Wang some fashion sense into these lost souls.

• Fixed the wetones sprites - these would sometimes get stuck looking down the sights
• Fixed up the underside of the fashion monster ship so crates won't fall inside of it
• Increase the sounds of some Bauss enemies for clarity
• Improved the aim-assist and cooldowns during the Bauss fight for better flow
• Upscaled the options menu if using Steam Deck for better readability
• Scaled up the bottom button prompt fonts for Steam Deck players

Challenge 3 has been given a bit of an overhaul with some difficulty levels! If you're looking for the original experience, we've kept that on the very hard difficulty!

With these difficulties, you'll see two main changes:

• Different target times for each difficulty, and time added between each section
• Different platforms for each difficulty, so that folks on easier modes have some more forgiving landing spaces!

We took a look at the later missions in the game, and improved Missions 10 - 12, giving you more options to dodge attacks and use movement abilities in the arena fights:

• Added more space in all the fights in Mission 10
• Each of the big fights in Mission 12 have been looked at, and we've made each less tedious with some enemy composition changes, and injected in some fun with swings and bouncers!
• The first cabin fight has been totally reworked here too, hopefully setting up the whole mission from that point on to flow much better!

We've also included some fixes and new localisations for our new features:

• Pepper spray clouds & floor flames disappear faster
• Added controller vibration
• Fixed some bugs in the second boss fight
• Fixed a bug where Mission 11's swag wasn't counting correctly
• Tweaked some difficulty scaling for the TurnCoat flame area, including the damage areas on the floor
• Improved the Tailormade's secondary fire getting stuck on corners
• Fixed an issue in Mission 10 where game performance could degrade as two enemies spot you at the same time
• Moved an enemy in Mission 7 that was causing some players to get stuck, and fixed up the occlusion on the first train
• Added some text to show everyone how to skip dialogue
• Polished up some environments and added some cool sports cars and trash
• Optimized Mission 5, 10 & 11 by removing unnecessary lights and combining geometry
• Added latest gameplay localizations & added the missing Chinese letter to the font we use
• Fixed some bugs related to keybindings and options
• Polished up some sprites, particularly the charged-up belt

Some COOL NEW FEATURES:

• Made the DeepCoat sections skippable

• You can skip dialogue by holding down E for 1 second

Game Changes:

• Added the ability to change your difficulty mid-game! If you’re struggling with a particular fight you can now turn down the difficulty in the gameplay options to turn up the heat on those baddies!
• Made changes to each graphics option for better performance
• Reduced the shake from the WetOnes for a more fun time surfing
• Mission 9: Added a checkpoint after the first big fight to improve the flow of the level
• Fixed up some enemy animations and fading during/post combat for clarity
• Improved player positioning on respawning
• Blocked standing up in vents
• Made the fab slap last 1.25x longer on easy difficulty
• Balanced out the Karens attacks in Mission 4, Mission 6 and Mission 9
• Made it so that hp resets at the retro phase of the Swagman boss fight
• Made improvements to the Swagman animations and projectiles
• Added health to Mission 7 to ease the difficulty in the final fight
• Made damage windows better balanced on all difficulties in the Swagman boss fight
• Made sure each toilet can be flushed without having to climb inside it

Bug Fixes:

• Mission 12: Fixed up some geometry in the last engine room
• Fixed an issue with using the weapon wheel to change weapons after a fab slap
• Changed the Armor Bar to be correct
• Fixed a bug where on some graphical presets, neons weren’t appearing neon
• Fixed a bug where your kill stats would break after dying and restarting at a checkpoint
• Fixed up a variety of dialogue issues in missions and on the map
• Made lots of improvements to Mission 11 including making swinging easier and blocked off some gaps in the level
• Mission 9: Blocked of some space behind some enemies where it was possible to get stuck
• Fixed up some lovely art inside the art gallery
• Patched up some out-of-bounds areas in Mission 1, 5 and 9
• Stopped announcer text from popping through walls
• Blocked off an area where it was possible to get stuck in the final fight

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed saving key bindings - these should now save instantly
• Fixed a bug where killing snowball enemies too quickly would break mission 12
• Fixed a bug in mission 5 where swag (and you!) could get stuck
• Stopped the Flamer SFX if you fixed him while he was charging
• Limited the airstrike SFX from the final boss
• Fixed up some visual bugs on a major enemy in mission 13
• Localised some text on the neon HUD
• Fixed some looping audio before and during the final boss fight (your ears are finally safe!)
• Fixed up the final boss’ stats as they’re introduced

Game Changes:

• Added a Discord and Bug Report Button to the main menu
• Changed some of the lighting in mission 5 to improve performance
• Patched up some of the gaps in mission 5’s geometry
• Disabled shooting for the final boss intro (we know you’re excited, but you have to wait!)
