Tutorial Videos

Today we have released a Help section on the outside of the game for new and existing players to learn more about Street Crime. There are 4 video categories Getting Started, Gameplay, Tips and Troubleshooting. We hope these informative help videos will assist players in their quest to become the best gangster on Street Crime.

If you get stuck whilst playing the game or want to learn something new make sure you watch the videos for any tips you may not yet be aware of, being one step ahead of other gangsters is vital to your survival.

At the moment we only have 1 video available however we will be constantly adding new videos so be sure to check back at regular intervals! Take a look at the Help section now >> or take a look at our YouTube Channel >>.

Upcoming Competition

We will be announcing a competition shortly which will all give you an excellent opportunity to earn yourself some Street Crime credits and more! The competition will be based around showcasing Street Crime in a video so brush up on your video making skills in anticipation for the competition announcement.

Ships

The use of Ships now reduces the amount of time it takes to ship your car to another destination. This could save you vital time when taking part of a Organised Crime as Driver or getting the equipment ready for a Porn Shoot!

Inbox Reply System Slightly Changed.

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Today we decided to pilot a slightly changed system with regards to replying to inbox messages. In the new system when you reply to a message it will popup in a new window. This will allow you to make long replies and still perform game actions like petty crimes etc.

Please let us know your thoughts on this system. If it is decided the community do not like it, it will simply be changed back.

Thanks

Turf Changes/Upgrades

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Over the last day or so we have been readying some changes to the Turf. The changes we have made will help to improve the longitivity of the feature whilst also addressing the problem of multiple apartment blocks being set up on accounts purely just for profit purposes.

So to tackle these problems we have done two things.

Firstly: You are now limited to the amount of Apartments, Blocks of Flats and Council Housing you can build on your turf. Starting out you can only build a maximum of 4 of each type, with the option of increasing those amounts using a new item called the ‘Councillors Briefcase’ these can be bought in the credit shop or found along your travels in the game.

Secondly: You will now only be able to level an Apartment, Block of Flats or Council housing building to level 10 without further assistance. To level it up higher than level 10 you now need a special item called a Planning Order. 1 Planning Order allows 1 extra level to be upgraded on the selected building when used. Planning Orders can be bought from the credit shop or found along your travels in the game.

Lastly: We have fixed numerous minor discrepancies with Turf and the way it works, including a fix to prevent a building earning you no revenue while upgrading despite the fact it would seem logical to.

Hope you enjoy.

Auction Upgrade & Other Tweaks

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

With the introduction of Porn Studio and the increasing use of Auctions to sell items to other gangsters we decided auctions needed to be adjusted to cope with the increasing demand on this feature. For this reason Auctions has undergone a few changes which will apply to any new auctions.

Auction changes implemented:
• Auctions can now have an Buy it now price – allows an item to be sold instantly at that price.
• All auctions will now end automatically once the auction timer has finished, if a valid bid is found the item is sold else returned to its original owner.
• Gangsters must set a starting bid amount for the auction.
• Gangsters have the opportunity to set a reserve price on their auction, this is unknown to the bidder and the auction will not be completed unless this reserve is met.

Other changes made to Street Crime:
• Hitlist now informs the gangster if any hit is taken care of, not just the final hit.
• Criminal record timer bars display red if you cannot attempt another of the crime.
• Flight timer has been fixed on the Criminal Record page.
• Organised Crime achievement unlock has been fixed and unlocks at the correct rank.
• Airport cities order is now the same whether you can or cannot fly.

We hope you continue to support us as we strive to become the best gangster game on the internet, we are working hard on new features, yes this includes kill, amongst other changes.

Stay tuned for more updates later today.

• Wider range of Cars
• Wider range of Items
• Maximum of 2 of any type of Car or Item
• Cars now have a rating, better the car the better the payout

Happy Christmas

First of all we would like to wish you all a very happy christmas and thank you for your continued support, we will continue to improve Street Crime and hope you all enjoy the new features we release.

Porn Studio

Today we have released a new turf building for you all to build and hope you enjoy shooting your very own Porn Movies! Once you have purchased a porn studio you can complete a range of scenarios including Magazines and Photo Shoots. Each scenario requires you to gather together a range of staff and props for the shoot. You have a limited time to do the shoot so you must act quickly!

Shoots take place on other gangsters turf’s therefore if you have a Porn Studio there is a chance another gangster will be hiring your Studio to shoot their scenario. If your Porn Studio is used by another gangster you will receive a 10% cut from any successful shoots!

I would like to personally thank fat and ginga for his help in coming up with some excellent ideas for this feature, without his input this feature would not have been possible. Fat and ginga has offered to give help to players regarding the Porn Studio, so if you have any questions and a member of Staff is not online you can divert your questions to Fat and ginga.

Start building your Porn Studio now >>
