The requirements for the Ghost rank have been increased so you have to earn it by completing the mission this way - without loading a save game.Swinging doors no longer auto-close.A few minor text corrections and revisions.Many minor tweaks and bug fixes.Thoughts and thanksI started working on the save system a year ago now, not sure whether I would be able to finish it.

To all those who have requested a quicksave feature over the years: SHUT UP I HAVE LISTENED! The 1.1.0 update will add mid-mission saves, including quicksaving and quickloading.

- Filcher soundtrack available + vote for GOG release! - 20 February 2022
Hey everyone, a couple of things I haven't mentioned here: Firstly, I recently released the Filcher soundtrack on YouTube and Bandcamp! Secondly, I submitted Filcher to GOG.com way back in October but never heard back from them. However, someone added it to the community wishlist! (There is also a discussion thread.) I guess I should point you towards it, as getting the game onto GOG could really help it reach a bigger audience. If you have an account, please consider pressing that vote button. Cheers!

Fixed a few grammatical errors...
- 1.0.1j is out! - 3 November 2021
On the briefing screen, the mission name now shrinks to fit its container (when using a custom language pack). Added two missing text items for the briefing screen: "UI.Common.Mission" and "UI.Common.Prologue". Add these to your custom language pack if you want the text above the mission name to be translated (if excluded, the text will be shown in English as in previous versions).

- Inside at Last podcast, Stealth Docs review - 3 October 2021
I had the honour of guesting the Inside At Last Thief podcast along with Stealth Docs to chat about Thief, Filcher, and more! I was pretty nervous, but think I occasionally made sense. It was hella fun, hope you enjoy it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjy0nx8qn_A Here is Stealth Docs' review of the game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRxtvuC1d0E
- 1.0.1g is out! - 28 September 2021
Fixed some bugs related to custom language packs. See https://steamcommunity.com/app/1355650/discussions/0/2961670087553780534/ for details. Tweaked the player camera to make it smoother and less stuttery. "Tough Customers": Fixed a bug where one of the assassins would turn invisible if lured into the upstairs corridor. (Don't ask.) Other minor tweaks and fixes.
- 1.0.1f is out! - 23 September 2021
Ambient sound and music now keeps playing while the inventory radial menu is open. Fixed a bug causing the player to not collapse correctly on death. (Hopefully) Fixed the hitch/stutter that happened the first time a dialogue subtitle was shown.

On completing a mission, you now hear a soft wind before the "mission complete" screen shows up, as intended.

- 1.0.1b is out! - 16 September 2021
Reverted a 1.0.0b change which caused some camera jitter when attaching to or deattaching from ladders. The slight camera stutter "stutter" may return on some monitors. Bear with me while I figure out a better solution to that problem...

Added "Invert mouse Y axis" option for weirdos. Fixed a bug where auto-closing doors would clip through the player when the player was standing still.

Fixed camera "stutter" for certain framerates / monitor refresh rates. (I adjusted the game's fixed timestep to match a 60 Hz refresh rate - keep an eye out and report physics glitches!) Typo fix and minor text tweaks.
