- Presenting TWO DOLLAR SUITS - The A-Star Theft Remaster | WISHLIST TODAY - 12 October 2025
Two Dollar SuitsAfter a year of development, a long break, and much emotional turmoil, I am finally in a place where I feel ready to properly announce the long talked about remaster of A-Star Theft, first announced in 2023.WISHLIST THE GAME TODAYWhat does this remaster mean?In short, a whole lot of things.New StoryWriting the new story has been an incredible process. I have taken in feedback from years of play testing to construct a brand-new experience for Logan Huntborn and his daughter Vanessa. This time, my most important goal has been to make players connect more deeply to the characters. The structural story events are similar to the original, but told in a very different way. All dialog is rewritten, the characters are rethought, and Logan's connection with Vanessa is explored to the fullest it can be.New Weapon SystemA new internal weapons system leading to better stability, mor…
- KATANA MELEE COMBAT - 1.4.10 - 26 July 2024
If you enjoy the game, consider leaving a review! It helps a lot! Update 1.4.10 This update presents an upgraded melee combat design for snappier and more visceral close-quarters takedowns. Logan is now equipped with a katana! Why? Because it's awesome, of course. Store prices have been decreased to encourage more experimentation with different builds and play styles. Some graphical elements have been tweaked, along with minor AI improvements. Please leave feedback in the comments when you have tried the new melee combat system. I hope you enjoy the new update! Changelog: Added new animations and sound effects for melee combat Reduced store prices to encourage experimentation Slightly improved AI behavior in combat with many enemies Changed sun bloom to not be visible during the player’s death animation Changed large electronic door graphics to better communicate its function Reduced st…
- NEW SYSTEMS AND IMPROVED LIGHTING - 1.4.9 - 12 June 2024
If you enjoy the game, consider leaving a review! It helps a lot! Update 1.4.9 This update brings an assortment of changes I have been working on over the last month. The keycard mechanic has been made more clear by now only opening regular keycard doors. They can no longer open vault doors. Vault doors can instead be opened by using the keypad. Find code segments on the map and piece together the code to open the vault silently. Crew members are now rescued by finding them tied up on the map. This replaces the old system where you had to click on the user interface to make them respawn at your location, which was not properly communicated, not to mention a bit buggy. The lighting have been improved with a new sun bloom effect. This is affected by the time of day, and can make sunsets look very nice and warm. This is somewhat experimental, so please tell me if you like it or not! I hope…
- COMBAT AND CONVENIENCE | 1.4.8 - 28 April 2024
If you enjoy the game, consider leaving a review! It helps a lot! Update 1.4.8 With this update, I want to put a greater focus on actively using equipment during combat, and have therefore increased the effectiveness of several tools. To further encourage experimentation, access to the equipment store directly from a heist has returned, after previously being removed for compatibility issues with the driving mechanic. I hope you enjoy the new update! Changelog: Re-added equipment store access from inside heists (this was temporarily removed when driving was added) Added a new music track which plays on the Extrication heist Added ability to drive onto a van armor piece to automatically assemble it Added more gore Added cue balls to pool tables Improved user interface by showing electronic door switch connection lines from any distance Improved gamepad cursor speed consistency at higher…
- REMASTER DEMO VERSION 2 | UPDATE 1.4.7 - 10 April 2024
If you enjoy the game, consider leaving a review! It helps a lot! Story Remaster The Story Remaster version 2 brings tons of improvements based on player feedback. Thank you for answering the survey after completing the demo, it truly does help! The new demo has player choice at its core, and now allows the rescue segment to be completed with both stealth and action strategies. Both the rescue and arrest segments now encourage player exploration and allows weapons to be used from the very start, if you so choose to do so. Some of the dialog has also been looked at, to better emphasize a consistent tone. Thus, a lot of the more silly dialog has been dialed down and replaced with more appropriate dialog. Logan's narrations has also been tweaked in some places to feel less edgy. I am still looking for feedback on this, so feel free to answer the survey after completing the demo. Remaster D…

- Big updates on the new story! - 13 March 2024
Hello everybody, I have some very interesting news to share about the remastered story! It's been a while since I wrote, back before Christmas when I released the Escape Update. It could seem from my silence that I have been passive in any further development, but I assure you that I have been anything but passive. During the past year, I have been rewriting the entirety of the story in A-Star Theft, only keeping the general premise and characters, while completely rethinking how to tell it. As I have earlier explained, I was never happy with how the original story turned out. I have since then finished the script and worked on better character development, and it is looking promising so far. BUT NOW - - I am very happy to announce that all new missions have finished their level design phase. This means that every map is playable and functional as individual levels, somewhat like Freepl…

Changelog: Completely overhauled the Escape System Added ability to escape on foot with limited loot Added ability to secure loot in the escape van Added Loot Bag equipment Added scroll bars for Primary and Equipment categories in the gun store Added ability for kicked doors to break windows Added ability for liquid nitrogen to slow down…

Over 30 updates have been released, featuring new game modes, more equipment, overhauled graphics, added missions, and hundreds of quality of life improvements.

- NEW ESCAPE SYSTEM - Feedback wanted! - 27 October 2023
Hello everybody! Over the past month, I have been working on redesigning the escape system to add more excitement to a heist. The plan is to no longer simply press F to win, but instead actually have to flee the scene. This means that you have to reach the van and drive away! For this system, I have added several new mechanics: Assemble armor - Reinforce the van before driving away Police stingers - Avoid or deactivate them to not puncture your tires Escaping on foot - You can escape on foot with limited loot if your van breaks down I want your help to verify that these changes are both good, and clear enough in gameplay. If you want to test these changes, you can join the Public Beta branch on Steam! TO JOIN - Right-click on the game -> Open 'Properties' -> Press 'Betas' -> Select 'public-beta' in the drop-down menu These changes are also available in the demo by following the above in…

Heists are now also more dynamic based on time of day, with civilians leaving during nighttime and guards being more suspicious. I hope you enjoy the new update! Changelog: Redesigned the User Interface Improved day and night cycle’s impact on heist behavior: Civilians now go home during night time Guards now lock down buildings during night time Added different symbols on locked doors to help with colorblindness Increased efficiency of Liquid Nitrogen on Heat Detectors Fixed civilians spotting players stealing in the dark Fixed C4 not damaging vehicle turrets Fixed cameras not detecting players cutting glass or taking jewelry Fixed guards not spotting players pickpocketing civilians Fixed som…
- Welcome to all new players! - 1 August 2023
Hello everyone, I hope you are having a lovely day! Due to the recent Steam Stealth Fest, this past week has been the most successful one in the game's history. I want to welcome all new players to the game, and say that I am very thankful that you have taken a chance on an indie game like mine! I aim to release many more updates, making the game experience even better with time. Since the game's release, I have published over 30 updates and see no reason to stop any time soon. If you want, you can even check the beta tab in the Steam UI, and try out the first ever version published on Steam - the differences are... quite large :) I also want to talk about potential for a new story in the game. The current story is one that I am not particularly happy with. A few months before release, I had to force something into the game due to tester feedback, but I had no time to truly write what I…
