- Stealing the show - 30 November 2019
Autumn has blown into town, bringing with it the prestigious Steam Awards and it's our time to shine. We're ready to get our hands dirty, question is, are you? Your role in this simple con is straight-forward bub, so pay attention. Just tap that lil button to nominate HEIST for "Outstanding Visual Style", and then wait by the phone on 23rd and King, we'll talk more then. If that's too much for ya, then change your vote to "Best Game You Suck At". Got It? Good! But before you get to work, don't forget to leave some kind words in that store review box. It goes a long way to make sure the Top Dog 'Al Gore Rhythm' gives us a fair shake, capiche!?
- Navigation Update - 15 November 2019
Today we are pushing out an update to HEIST to help address the pain of finding your way through the levels. We have seen and heard a lot of players getting turned around when making their way to the Loot or an Exit. When you're on your last Smoke Pipe and trying to make a break for the exit, the last thing you want is to take a turn to no where and end up wasting and potentially ruining your run. To help this, we have added a compass-like pointer to give a generalised direction towards the current & relevant goal. The compass will only be visible when you open the Objective List (by holding or the button on a controller). The pointer will also disappear when you've arrived at the objective. We have also updated the 'Blueprints' in the Level Selection. Now instead of just the Location name, you can see the Level layout, including the Happy Heisting! ~Atomizer Games
- Tool selection Tool-tips have been added! - 1 October 2019
Today we have uploaded a update to HEIST with a much requested feature. When hovering over any of the Tools, a window will appear showing you the Tool name, Input and a brief description of the Tools use. We appreciate the feedback we have been getting on HEIST so far and urge to keep letting us know of any issues you run into or suggestions. ~Atomizer Games

We will no longer be providing new updates to HEIST after today. As we mentioned before, we will allow all Beta participant access to HEIST until its launch. As such this update has been focused on providing fixes and improvements to enjoy the game until the release. Here are the core changes; We've added a confirmation popup when you select to restart We've added the option to delete your progress through the Main Menu options Added glass case smashing to the Mansion 'Loot', which triggers an alarm Fixed various colliders across all levels Added art of Tool selection button in the Main Menu Added additional HUD art for the country club pickups The forums will remain open for everyone to post any a…

The Mansion is now open for your attempts at pilfering a prestige pinot noir! We have modified the Mansion in order to get it to a playable state, as we promised, and didn't wish to delay its Beta release any sooner. In order to pull off the Mansion, you'll need to find your way into the Cellar, snatch the bottle and make your escape! A major standout for the Mansion is the use of moving Shadows. https://i.imgur.com/YNt7zSh.gif Well timed execution will make all the difference in this level! However... This marks the last major content update we currently plan on releasing to the Beta. We will release one final version of the Beta which is likely to include any bug fixes and minor changes. After that update, however, there…
- Build 0.3.11.r1 now live! - 12 May 2018

Here is the debrief on the new Beta Build! Progression Order We have updated the order of levels so you now unlock the Casino after completing the Shipping Yard. Completing the Casino will then unlock the Country Club, as opposed to the other way around. We decided that the Casino was an easier level and due to being smaller, would make for better pacing in the games overall progression. We will be making future changes to add Gun Guards to the Country Club and remove them from the Casino, but at the moment the levels remain as is. The Tool unlocks are tied to the levels, and as such has not changed. This means you'll be able to unlock the Smoke Pipe sooner than before! New Waters in the Shipping Yard We have rounded out the final prop pass on the Ship…

Today we have pushed out an update to HEIST with a focus on the Gun Guards. In later levels, from the Casino onwards, You'll encounter guards that won't hesitate to apply deadly force to protect their employer's establishments. We have made improvements to these guards which include the following Gun Guards will now properly track a moving player while aiming. Refined the time between Gun Guards aiming their gun and shooting at the player. Gun Guard will no longer shoot the player while being held up by the player using the 'Fake Gun' tool. Additionally, we have made the following improvements: Guards movement slowing by Players Tools now apply and remove from the guard properly if stacked Fixed lights in the Country Club warehouse turning off incorrec…
