Development Information:
An Officer’s Duty is a game based upon law enforcement and focusing on the different jobs that line of career provides and more.
As we began our first AOD project a few years ago, we were unable to support the game in sponsoring and came across several bugs and map size issues with how the first game was designed. Since then, we have learned from our mistakes and have plowed into the development of a second game completely reprogrammed and redesigned with much more added features and will support Roblox’s latest feature releases.
This game is in very early alpha as of right now and will be for a while as we slowly push out updates however, the public version of this alpha game is open for early paid access for anyone curious. Please see below for information on currently released updates. This post will be updated as we push changes to the game out.
