Flashing Lights has lots of potential, I've owned the game from the start and the development over the years have been amazing. It's just unfortunate that the game only has a single developer so work is slow. If this game ever gets even a small team of developers of like 5, this games development work could speed up so much.
Over all of these years of this game being worked on, the developer is still working hard on this game. Very impressive and props to them for continuing making this game better and better.
I don't think a lot of people know that this game has a very small development team so when they hear that this game has improved so much over the years, they don't think the best of the game.
Does this game has big shootouts? And are you able to request backup from other officers AI in this game?
@@metalnat27 nah
@@yeet-- Damn. So I guess I will continue to stick with the GTA police MODs instead then. What a disappointment. Just about each official police games that have finally came out in recent years have been so disappointing. I mean....They're good and well made overall but they're ALWAYS missing the main core lore of what would make these police games entertaining to its full potential.
@@metalnat27 facts gotta get back to lspdfr lol
tl:Dr
True?
Flashing Lights has great potential, but there are some much needed improvements
Right!
needs more traffic stop questions ect more for police single player roleplay, i bought the game about a year ago and im deeply disapointed on how far it has came... kinda sad
It's really cool to see someone with a small or no budget continuing to work on a title to make it better, those are the folks I like to help support if possible. It looks great so far.
Flashing Lights actually looks like it's getting good, it got a good map and graphics. Now the only thing the devs need to focus on is tweaks and adding in pedestrian and traffic density because it looks like a ghost city.
It’s crazy because it’s a single dev
Some things he didn't show in this video that are pretty big for the game and rp opportunities.
1. There is now a working CAD system where departments can respond to other calls. For example on a car crash or fire police can now attach to them for traffic control.
2. The police department and fire department now have a interior! The police department it's mostly finished with jail cells and meetings rooms whereas the fire department needs work. No interior for ems as of yet but EMS can now deploy at the fire station.
3. This is mostly for the rp community but as a police you can now out people into the trunk. Might be testing for a possible civ role in the future?
4. There are now uses for the ladder trucks in game, the tall buildings can catch on fire
Thanks for this 👍
7:38 "We don't wanna take her ourselves"
*is literally in the PD parking lot* XD
Best part of this update is that when you do a traffic stop, they actually pull over to the side of the road. This game is getting better. Love to see more flashling lights from you Jeff!
For people who dont like gta lspdfr or fivem and want something much simpler the game is perfect for that I honestly hope the dev improves it and right now the game is rlly awesome
0:52 That better go into the December compilation because I already lost it at that Q siren in a Tahoe
It’s impressive to me that this is being developed by a one man team and seeing the amount of re-work done to the map and vehicle customisation is a big step forward. This game desperately needs more backup AI, in depth pursuits with tactics as well as some of the features from mods like LSPDFR and it’s add ons to keep people interested in my opinion.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what this game brings. The map is pretty good size, Once we start getting more NPC more traffic etc... This game will be awesome! BTW Awesome video as always Jeff! Merry Christmas from my family to yours.
I've been looking forward to this upload all day. Thanks for the continued entertainment, Jeff. So glad I found yours (and subsequent friends) channel(s).
I played a ridiculous amount of hours on that game but haven't played in quite a while now. It was getting old unfortunately.
This game has really come a long way since the beginning. Glad to see the updates!
“Roblox Gun” 😂🤣
There are some notable bugs. What I thought was cool was the speed radar, and you could put the speed they were going on there. I'd love to see this type of stuff on GTA Roleplay across the board. Pretty neat game! I'd love to see road names built, and see you guys do RP with this!
Good Afternoon Jeff!
it’s good still some glitches bugs and major fixes that needs to be done
For example
going under the map
having the fuel nozzle stuck to ur vehicle
cars r glitched that u can’t interact with them or u can’t pull over
When found stolen they say they r fleeing but they r not like they do donuts when that happens or drive in circles
and other things that need to be fixed
I started playing it right once you started, been playing ever since, has changed a lot.
To answer your question in the title, I can officially say yes. Now has mod support! Super easy to install mods now! Check it out! 😊
Thank you for checking latest updates! About the sirens might be saved from earlier version but now there are tone options to select from in Vehicle menu. Regards Nils
The map is starting to remind me of San Andreas, with the onramps and little towns looking similar, but that's good! It certainly does have a lot of potential, but we'll have to see what they do with it next, hope you keep coming back to it!
Roblox gun, love it
It has potential but the driving still feels wonky imo. Its good but could be better. Hospital and fire house is the most disappointing interiors I've ever seen!
Exactly. Huge potential but just can't get behind the driving.
@@PardyN2 As someone who's never played Flashing Lights, may I ask how exactly the driving is wonky in this game? Because from what I can tell from just watching Jeff's playthrough of it, it seems just fine to me, I dunno.
@@Vandicoup I know I'm late to this comment but that's because he's using a controller.
@jeff yooooooo Jeff what’s good? I am glad to see you still playing Fladhing lights. Love all your videos keep up the good work.
Great video Jeff and hope you have a merry chirstmas first of all.Honestly been enjoying the game lately when I do play it. The newer map is pretty fun the calls haven gotten a little better but sorta glitchy still. I love the sheriff's livery i honestly hope they make more cop outfits/new player models for you to use! (Thanks for the heart dude been enjoying your videos the past few years!)
Thanks for doing this! I put in probably 36 hours plus and stopped playing for about 10 months. Seems it looks better and isn’t as repetitive etc I think I’m gonna load it back up and give it another shot.
7:34 when you are 5 steps from the station but really don't feel like walking.
Nice to see that they keep working on this game. I wonder if that tornado chasing game has had any updates to it.
It hasn't, it's been dead
@@jfavignano That's kind of a shame to be honest
Yeah that is a shame. It had potential :/
@@jfavignano back in February was the last dev update
With the final traffic stop, if you are directly behind the pulled over vehicle the other traffic on the highway will go around you.
In multiplayer there's now the ability for departments to have multiple calls at once. And units can join other departments calls. For example a few days ago I was in FD and took a vehicle accident call. A police and ems unit also joined the same call. Later on as ems I joined onto a missing person callout where the police couldn't find the person. (Personally, I find this ability really nice for roleplay purposes.)
I find it impressive how much the developer has achieved. As someone with experience in programming I can tell you that at times it feels like an analogy for murphy's law. I've spent more time than I want to admit (several hours) staring at a single line of code trying to figure out what's causing the entire program to break.
Great video!
Didn’t even watch the video
Jeff, When you edit your patrol unit, you can add a back light bar to your car so you can turn on traffic advisory lights while on your traffic stop. You can direct traffic to lean left (3 on keyboard) or right (4 on keyboard) or stop (5 on keyboard) depending on where you did the traffic stop. Anyway, enjoying this update!
I still like it, get's better and better every update. Though Patrol Officers has a bit of a leg up on it.
You can't use your gun in patrol officers.
Even if it was so rare you only use it once every 10 or so shifts.
It gets boring without it.
With that being said I definitely have more time on it. When they add the gun play then it will be the best even better better lspdfr
I think it will be a great game and I like the fact you don't get dinged for alcohol test when the game decides its not necessary unlike another game we all know where we get dinged for random things lol
Jeff if you press 3,4,5 the traffic lights on the back will guide the cars which ever direction you want them to go or Stop! them completely during a traffic stop.
Looking better all the time! Thanks and Happy Tuesday Jeff!
I played this for a few hours a couple days ago. I’m really liking the new map and the new Sheriff livery. The game is getting better.
I loved how you incorporated my favorite Christmas movie in this video: National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. What is your favorite Christmas movie Jeff?
The same one as you!
@@jfavignano Hell Yeah man!! Can't beat Chevy Chase!
i started following Flashing Lights after your videos got me into LSPDFR. playing that made me hopeful that some aspiring developer(s) would pick up the torch of making a fully-featured open world police sim so i happy to see someone trying it (Flashing Lights.) unfortunately as i followed its progress for about a year and a half, it's just never going to develop into a truly finished and fully developed product IMHO. basic necessities for this type of game are still completely absent or woefully simplistic, buggy, or underdeveloped.
i feel bad for "crapping" on the dev, i'm sure they're doing their best, but i would advise anyone steer clear of Flashing Lights unless they're cool with playing what is essentially a buggy police sim tech demo.
While the game needs work and is seriously lacking in certain areas, what they have done right, they’ve done really right. It’s so incredibly important that fans of police sims need to support it so that it can grow into the standalone police sim that the community deserves. LSPDFR is amazing but we seriously need a really good stable standalone game at some point
I’m getting this for Christmas can’t wait!
Thanks for these vids! Hey thanx for that Mama Juju skit couple vids back.
Hahaha, you got me with the Cousin Eddie, well played. 🤣
5:48 Wasn't that the perp that ran right past you? Lol 😭😂
Love the video glad you checked out the update! Next time you play you should look up your name in the MDT.
Sup Jeff hope you're week goes good, but for the map it looks like gta vice city map . On another hand my birthday is this Thursday and i was wondering if you can do a gta 5 gang tasks force please and thank you and god bless you sir!!?.
Happy early birthday!
@@jfavignano ❤️❤️
@@jfavignano Thank you !!!.
@jeff favignano give this game another try! its still kinda buggy but theres more variety, vehicle searches, and gun permits!
Flashing Lights is still continuing to get better, more light bar updates ones paid, and a pickup truck pack, Swat truck. There’s been a beta that’s accessible right now for AI Backup for Police, EMS, and Fire obviously it’s a work of in progress but it’s definitely worth going back into Jeff just to compare it to from your first look to what it is now
I've been thinking about buying it for 35$ is it worth it? I'm a sucker for such games
@ I guess it depends on the person. Online can be pretty fun, I have over 200hrs on it, most of the time I’m spending hours making my lights as you can customize them to our own preference, there’s presets but you can do a lot with it. Playing with others online definitely enhances the game experience, as EMS players and Fire players usually do callouts together, and police can interact with those calls too. Blocking Traffic, or even interacting with AI drivers with Driver infractions, police chases can be pretty fun too, especially if you’ve got players who are willing to join in on them. Definitely a game that’s worth it in my opinion, it’s developed by two people I believe, and the progression is kind of insane, can be buggy at times sometimes the vc won’t work. But if you’re interested I’d recommend trying it out, and if it’s not your thing, you could always refund
@@melissathomas8321 thanks! Yeah I think il go try it out!
@ Enjoy!
They should really overhaul the graphics it’s the main reason I don’t play
HEY JEFF HOW R YA?? DID YOU SEE ABOUT THE TORNADOES IN Kentucky?? WHAT ABOUT ALL THIS WEIRD WEATHER??? AND VOLCANOES AND EARTHQUAKES ARE SPIKING!!! NOPE...FLASHING LIGHTS NEEDS A LITTLE MORE WORK. BUT...GREAT WORK. LOVE THE LAW ENFORCEMENT VIDEO YOU DID WITH THE OLD CROWN VIC!!!😀
Jeff have you ever thought of doing any esports casting? You have a perfect voice for it.
Love this channel! ❤.
I'm really considering picking this up. I know it's on sale at the moment (at least for another couple hours) but I may hold out for the X-Mas sale. It would be interesting to see how far it's improved since this video.
What's your take on this? Worth the investment? I've got the Police Simulator: Patrol Officer & Firefighter Simulator but I'd love an actual open world game along the lines of this. Admittedly I may have to twist the arms of some friends to get a group going. It appears to have a lot of nice supporting features such as the onboard computer system for checks.
You should try downloading some of the light patterns for the vehicles it makes it much more interesting
I Uninstalled it, but I still follow their page on Facebook, as I keep seeing their posts makes me want to re-download it , I know it has a bright future ahead and definitely want the best for this game so might have to go back to it
I would love more of this game since it has been updated! Keep it up jeff!
It just needs a few tweaks, and it will even better. I'd like to see more variety of callouts and more pets and vehicles added.
Also add in AI police like pulling vehicles over or responding to crimes.
Haven’t played the game in forever. Might download again now!
It's much better than it was the last time I watched you play it and that's when it first came out. Didn't Alex have something to do with this game?
Two things always kill this game for me whenever I check out its progress: the sounds are STILL awful and there is hardly any ambient traffic or peds. City always feels dead.
I think the waypt marker to locations should be much bigger to see on the map! Most of the times it's hard to see where to go! 😮
I unstalled a while ago but reinstall to look at the updates and I like it still needs improvement but I do see a lot of potential in this game and I can not wait for more updates.
"Jeff Favignano it is." I play it almost every day it is super fun
fantastic and enjoyable video as always! Watched the whole thing :)
Would love to see some more of this game! FivePD maybe?
last year around April my Acer computer was stuck on automatic repair loop and I lost my progress on flashing lights
Jeff I like the sheriff Tahoe it looks nice
I love the map layout and the vehicles look amazing!😍
This was actually great fun to watch lol
Bad boys...bad boys, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when Jeff comes for you?
Hey Jeff. You should go Explore the pattern customisation, and go explore the modding side of FL. it brings in some freshness, like sirens and stuff.
It is a pretty big improvement over the last episode.
Flashing lights will be decent when it gets new animations, better vests and belts, new sounds fx
The game is coming along for sure
I've played most of the police simulators out there, like others have. Every time we're disappointed and let down, because every game is shit. For a long time there, I stopped trusting Indie devs because of it. Nils/600 changed my mind, so much so that I was happy to volunteer as a moderator for the FL discord. There are a lot of aspects about this game that need polished and defined, but I have nothing but faith in Nils to make FL the best emergency services sim. Will it ever rival LSPDFR? Fuck no, because LSPDFR is built off a triple A title. The LSPDFR devs didn't build a game from the ground up. FL needs time, patience and understanding. The future for the game is bright, just need to give a chance and not have triple a game expectations
Bro I been saying when you can use the guns in patrol officers it will be way better then fr
The little town 5:15 reminds me of the town in thief simulator
Nice video Jeff, thanks for the update, this game should make a good ps5 and Xbox game eventually!
Have a nice day! Always glad to watch you!
I just recently installed flashing lights on my laptop and it runs like i am walking on a slime block. I already lowered all the graphics option so i can run the game smoothly but it doesn't even work.
They should add a mode where your friends could play as civilians or criminals . I think that would be pretty cool I know other game have mods for that but they have room for it. I wouldn’t mind chasing my friends around they could have the next step in a multiplayer game you could set certain rules too . Just an idea
Lights are looking like their geeking nice truck
A lot of new things like the Bearcat
Looks great. Wonder if they will bring another update for 2022?
What website you got the game from for a Xbox one
Great game, Jeff! By the way, that was an Aerodynic lightbar…not a Streethawk. Does knowing that make me a complete nerd? Happy Tuesday!
You haven't played Fishing North Atlantic in a while. But great video!
Bright and cartoon shiney.
This game has potential from what I see as well.
you should do the tornado game again if its better now
Flashing Lights is a good game, just needs some more improvements and graphic changes in my opinion.
Jeff that beard is looking good.
Hey Jeff, day 7 of asking for the K200 vid in ATS. Loving the frequent uploads my man
Love the potential of this game. Thanks for always giving us a great variety of games Jeff. Now only if Storm Chasers would get a huge update then that would make my day. Maybe you and the boys can revisit Strom chasers again soon ?
simple question plz what button do you press to shoot?
"Shrimp in the house!"
My question is why would you play this over fivepd or fivem in general? I guess if some cant run GTA V but thats about it
if this is miles better than it was before, i dont think that i want to see what it was like before honestly haha. im going to stick with police simulator personally
With things like fivepd and lspdfr why would you play this over those 2?
i hope they make it so you can customize weapons
Will you be playing it again since it's 1.0 release?
It would be nice if they did more lighting in the game. And better technology for this game
