- HeistGeist turns 1 today! - 11 November 2025
Hey everyone!One year ago, our tiny studio released our second game, HeistGeist. It was quite an ambitious project, far bigger than we originally planned, rooted in our deep love for the heist genre, cyberpunk, and card games. We also took a stab at far more writing and storytelling than we had ever done before. We're happy to say that we stuck the landing, with the game currently sitting at a 97% review score.Since launch, the game has received several important updates, including new animations, visual assets, cutscenes, additional polish, and small bug fixes and performance improvements. It also runs great on the Steam Deck and is fully playable with a controller.To celebrate this anniversary, we have two announcements."The Art of HeistGeist" ArtbookHeistGeist is a very visual game, and we thought it would be fun to compile all the art and concept designs created during production in…

- Visual Update - New Briefing Cutscenes (1.3.0) - 21 February 2025
Hey chummers and chooms, The game has been updated to version 1.3.2, once again bringing visual improvements to the game to enhance the immersion and player fantasy. New Heist briefing cutscenes From very early in development, we knew we wanted the crew to have these snappy briefing dialogues where they go over the heist plan, just like in movies like Mission: Impossible or Ocean's Eleven. But as we got into the later stages of development, it became clear that with our limitations—mainly the time left until release—it would be the best candidate for a cut if we didn’t want the rest of the game to suffer. Since all of the VOs were already recorded, we decided to implement a 'less expensive' solution as briefing dialogues. With this update, we're finally bringing the briefing cutscenes back. They're done in the same motion comics style as the rest of the cutscenes in the game. To see how…
