The Rich neighborhood update 1.1 is out now!

[h2]Dear thieves,[/h2]
We are proud to finally deliver the new and improved American Theft 80s.
It took us a lot of time but the amount of features added is worth it.


New neighborhood

Let’s start with the biggest part. The rich neighborhood.
Gather evidence on corrupted sheriff and mayor. Watch out for the cameras, guards and of course tennants.


New tools

Don’t worry, you will have some new tools that will help you with new jobs.

[h3]Simple lockpick[/h3]
-hammering handles is cool but sometimes it’s better to use a more stealth approach

[h3]Binoculars[/h3]
-just like in our previous game, Thief Simulator, it’s important to mark important parts of the building, cameras and the people. It’s easier to do it from far away

[h3]Glass knife[/h3]
-good quiet alternative to a crowbar

[h3]Gate remote tool[/h3]
-open almost every gate with a special remote

[h3]Jewelry tools[/h3]
prepare the jewelry at the hideout or a hotel before selling it


New systems

There are some big changes in the game and in the old content.

[h3]New level system[/h3]
-remade, rebalanced and more interesting

[h3]Security weak spots marking system[/h3]
-scope the place before going in, look for opened windows, easy locks and much more

[h3]Intel gathering[/h3]
-garbarge bins, letter boxes, you never know what vital information can the tenants leave in those spots

[h3]Preparing loot[/h3]
-some of the loot need’s to be prepared before selling, motel room or your home is a perfect place to do this

[h3]Thief / Robber difficulty[/h3]
-if you are looking for a harder more stealthy ways to play (like Thief Simulator) the Thief difficulty is for you, prepare to get stunned a lot (it's possible to change the difficulty in the pause menu while playing)

[h3]Quick estate info[/h3]
-press TAB key anytime to get access to tenant routines and other important stuff without checking the map

Have fun!

Work in progress: Patch 1.1

Hello everyone!

It's been a while. We had been working hard on adding new content.
New patch will include a new neighbourhood, new tool and a more challenging level of difficulty.

Here's a sneak peek:

Patch v1.05 - the sandbox

Hello everyone.
It's been two weeks since the release of American Theft 80s. We are working very hard to bring you more content, fixes and tweaks.

First big patch is here. If you feel that the game is too easy and you want more random challenges then the sandbox mode is for you. (enable hard mode for even more fun)



To play the sandbox mode, just start a new profile.
The first thing you will notice is the lack of story. You start with no money, no tools and no tutorials.
With all the tools unlocked at the start the only thing you will need is the money to buy them.

No story and tutorials aren't the only things changed in this mode. First of all, the map changes a bit every few days. Some doors will be locked, some windows will be blocked with grates, new cameras will show up here and there. The tenants will be more random and less predictable.
When the police catch Jack there is no Game Over screen, you lose some cash, get more heat and respawn at the nearest phone booth.

What’s the end goal for the sandbox mode? Find all of the 15 golden VHS randomly placed on the map. Every time you make a new profile and start the sandbox mode they will be spawned in a different place.
After collecting them all you will get an achievement.



We also added a new tool, a hand torch to open even the hardest locks.

By the way, most of the reported bugs should be fixed!
We are also working on a new neighbourhood, more info soon.

Patch log:
1.05
-new mode sandbox
-new tool hand torch
-some doors can be relocked to avoid detection
-sheds added in the first map
-house furniture reset bug fix
-balancing tweaks
-underground cars should be fixed now
-other small fixes
-pricey items in town should be fixed

Have fun,
Noble Muffins team
