Thief Simulator 2 News

Hey everyone, I've been quiet because I took some lessons from the Prologue and implemented them in the full game - hence the release date was moved.

A lot of things have changed and I want to go over them - I won't spoil everything, but here are the most important features.


People have (rightfully) complained TS2: Prologue looks worse than TS1, and they were right. That, hopefully, has been improved as seen below. I have changed the sky and added new grass which in my opinion made a big, positive difference.




Previous car was pretty weak - one spot for heavy items, it was slow, looked terrible. I have changed the main car to this one - it has a big trunk for heavy objects, so you can put as many as you want.


Also, once you have enough money, you can buy a sports car which has no storage, but it's a fast way to travel and escape from the police. It's just fun to drive and drift with.



No more listening to a playlist. There are 4 radio stations, three with unique commercial breaks. If you listen closely, you can hear get some stealing tips.
THIEF.FM, Chill Radio, RockNation and Electro FM were added. Each with unique music


Previously, the game saved once in the neighbourhood and when you left the location. Now, you can pretty much save at almost any point with F5, and you also have multiple save slots.



You can invite a friend with a controller to help you with a burglary. They will control the drone with the ability to make sounds, which distract tenants, and disable cameras.



Many new things have been added to the player home. You can store heavy items in the shed. You can also hang stolen paintings inside.

There is a new website, HomeRenovator - you can upgrade your house for some cash, fix broken floor etc. It just makes it nicer to live in.
You can also change wallpapers and the floor to your liking.



You no longer have to leave the map to gain XP, and to sell items. Everything now happens on one map - you gain experience as you pick up the item, and you can sell it on a pawn shop which is in the neighbourhood.



A calendar with events has been added. Each day, there could be some event which will alter tenant's routines, or something else. It could be a burglar awareness day - people are more sensitive, or a chill day where everyone is less alert. It could be a festival, where most people will leave at 9 and come back later, so it's easier to break in. There are many of those so I won't spoil all of them.



You can now go to jail! When you get caught, you have an option to either reload the save, or go to jail. In hardcore mode, there is no option, you go straight to jail.

To get out of jail, you can either break out with lockpicks and find the exit, while being cautious of policemen patrolling the station, or you can bail out for 1/4 of your money.
On hardcore mode you lose all stolen items and they are kept at the police station - you can steal them back, if you have the guts.



I have added payphone timed mission to each neighbourhood (two payphones). There are multiple missions where you have to steal a certain item in a limited amount of time - you get paid and gain XP if you manage. You cannot be seen.



There are many more things which I probably forgot, some of them include:

• New websites, like Darkbank
  
• Ability to run over people
  
• Police improvements, policemen now shoot at you when you try to escape
  
• New drone abilities
  

I don't want to spoil all of it, so see you on release day, soon. ːsteamhappyː

[h2]This free preview allows players to get a taste of what's to come and explore the life of a master thief.[/h2]

Each house presents a new challenge and requires different skills to complete the heist. The game also features a construction zone and a junkyard, adding even more variety to the gameplay.

The Thief Simulator 2: Prologue release features several challenging missions that players can complete to hone their skills and become better thieves. We encourage all players to leave feedback on their experience, which will be used to improve the full version of the game.

So get ready to wear your black mask and start stealing, because Thief Simulator 2: Prologue is coming on May 3rd, 2023. With great gameplay and exciting missions to complete, you won't want to miss out on this free Prologue!

Well, that is it. Game is done, fully playable. Now for bug fixes, so it's in good shape at release.

I have a few screenshots to share from the second, rich neighbourhood - Hillville.





Also, some screenshots of you and your partner in action.
She's of great help.

Not sure what to say about this

As for the future.
Obviously I plan to do a lot of updates after release, in case of bugs and other stuff.

1.1 update will feature a new neighbourhood and new story missions, jobs, items and skills. That would be about 6 months after game's release.

We're closer than ever. Stay tuned ːsteamthisː

Hey everyone,
here's the dev of this magnificent product. I have a few nice things to share with you.

The game is 96% done, the remaining 4% being some parts of controller support, bug fixes, loot balance, voice acting and languages.
There are things that were introduced recently:

• Steam Cloud
  
  
  There are 5 profiles for save games - each profile can be used by a different player on the Steam account. All profiles will be synced with Steam Cloud, allowing for playing on different PCs.
  
  
• Achievements
  
  
  Yes, the images are missing but not for long. Currently there are 15 achievements you can unlock.
  
  
• Full Xbox controller support
  
  
  Like the title. Pretty nice, yeah?
  
  
• Thief's leaderboard
  
  
  The more you steal, the more experience you gain, the higher up you'll be. I wonder who will be the ultimate thief and get a #1 spot.
  

Now that's about it. I'm returning to polishing this excellent game about stealing stuff. I just hope I won't steal anything while working.
Stay tuned for more devlogs, as they are coming more often now.

Peace ːluvː

Make sure you add the prologue to your wishlist as it's going to be released very soon: Thief Simulator 2: Prologue

Hey everyone, here's a quick update on progress with Thief Simulator 2.

The game is 85% done, I'm mostly now placing loot, adding cars and stuff like that. Story mode is complete. Here's a few screenshots from one of the heists:
Banks and security lasers

I decided to add a simple gas & rent system. You have to pay rent every few days (it's not a big amount of $$$), and your car gas automatically refills every 60 liters, for a few bucks. It doesn't go up into your face, it's more subtle than real life rent, so don't worry.


I'm trying to make the second neighbourhood look good. It's the rich type, full of good stuff to take, much like Richie St. from Thief Simulator 1.


I estimate about 3-4 months before the full game is completed.
