Demo update, abilities, clothes

Hi everyone, I wanted to make a small update on the demo and also show some new stuff.

As for the demo, the game itself is finished but we're waiting for 3 things: new banner, new trailer and translations for the game. Hopefully we will be able to release it in February.

As for the full game, the development is going very good. If all goes according to plan and I don't get hit by a car, there's about 80% chance the game will release this year. The price will also be way lower than Thief Simulator 2.

Time to show some new stuff.

Abilities


Once you reach New game +1, you will unlock ability vouchers, as well as the voucher machine, which must be purchased at your computer.

Currently you receive ability vouchers for completing quotas. There are 4 abilities in total, each one provides a different kind of a bonus - for example, you can call off a policeman if things get too heated, but only once per game.




Voucher machine


Aside from unlocking abilities, you may also receive gift vouchers for playing the game. They can grant you random rewards, like new golden cards, tools, loot and more.




Clothing


Now you can order a cloth closet on the computer and change your looks. It's a bit more modular than the prologue, instead of changing the whole player model, you can change parts of it.




Throwing weapons


I was unsure about the comeback of this mechanic since so many things have changed, but ultimately it's back.

You can throw your crowbars and baseballs at people, knocking them out pretty good.

You can also throw them at your friends if you don't like them.




For now that's it - if things keep moving as they are, we're gonna see a full release this year. ːsteamthisː

Second map sneak peek

Hi everyone, second out of 3 maps is almost ready - I wanted to share some screenshots.

It will feature a small american town with many apartments to break into, an electronic store, a diner, and even a few houses.



Stay tuned for more info ːsteamthisː

Happy holidays - demo coming soon

Hi everyone,
I hope you’re having a wonderful Christmas and enjoying the holiday season!

I’ve got some exciting news for those of you eagerly awaiting this game: the demo is ready and will be available soon—likely before the end of January! The demo will include one location with five buildings you can break into and rob. Even better, you can team up with a friend for some co-op fun.

So, what’s this game all about?



You start the game in prison for... well, let’s just say it’s not your proudest moment. Suddenly, someone offers to bail you out. The catch? They expect you to repay the favor—by working for them. Do you accept the deal?

Let’s say you take it. You’re given a pretty sweet hideout to “live” in. But there’s a big problem: debt. A mountain of it. And if you don’t pay up on time, well, let’s just say it won’t end well for you.

What do you do? You stick to what you know best: crime.



You’ll take on various jobs, complete challenges for cash, fulfill item requests, and more.



When you order fancy new tools, make sure you don’t accidentally stand in their way! Once you’re geared up, the next step is picking a target and preparing for the heist—preferably under the cover of night.



Before you strike, it’s smart to scope out the location. If you skip this step, things can go south fast. And when they do, you’d better hide.

People have different routines—some sleep, some stroll outside, and others stay up late. Some might be armed, depending on the difficulty you choose, but most are harmless.

Planning is everything. If payment is due tomorrow, you can risk going in blind and hope for the best.



If things go completely sideways, you’ll retreat to your hideout. But beware: a day will pass, and it could mean the end of your run. Don’t worry, though! Each attempt unlocks something permanent that will give you an edge in your next try.

Currently, the game is about 25% complete. If all goes well, a full release might happen next year.

Crime Simulator shenanigans

Good day, Mr. Wick. It's been a while.


But seriously, progress is good. Almost half way done with the demo. First map is nearly finished, there are 7 houses and one huge garage to rob - the demo will feature about 4 houses.

New store design with user reviews
Reviews aren't really necessary but they provide some slight context for what the item can be used.

Session info pinboard
Clearly inspired by Phasmophobia - here you can select your next map, difficulty options, invite friends etc. Also it displays important information.

Golden cards
These babies rarely spawn on harder difficulties and can be stolen. Once deposited at the delivery box home, they can provide a range of bonuses for the reminder of the run (until you fail). For example, the diamond card lowers store prices by 25%.

All in all, game is looking good, progress is good, just a bit more patience and the demo will be available, featuring co-op up to 2 people. ːsteamhappyː
