Hello Heisters,
Today, unfortunately, marks the end of the HEIST beta. 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 additional bugs you wish to bring to our attention or share run times with others.
Our sights are now set on adding the remaining art and polish to ensure the game maintains a consistent level of quality from start to finish.
We can't wait to share the game with all of you once it'd finished.
Thank you for the last 8 months of assistance and help, we couldn't have done it without you!

Hello Heisters!
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 incorrectly
Fixed some navmesh issues in the Country Club
That's all for now, but as always we'd love to hear from you!
You can leave any and all suggestions and thoughts in the General Forum And leave any bug reports in the Bug Forum.

Hello Heisters!
Out most recent update is hopping onto servers now after we delayed for Easter.
This iteration's update has had a focus on addressing issues with our progression saving and ensuring players can more effectively progress in levels!
We have sat down and added several more 'hiding spots' across all levels currently in the game!
For the uninitiated; hiding spots are objects, such as a desk, that the player can enter when prompted to hide.
Doing this has two intended effects

Keeps the player from being spotted by guards
Creates a checkpoint for the player to return to having made a mistake or been caught
These objects are highlighted green and now have a hiding symbol near the entry point.

We have also made improvements to the progression system to ensure player progress loads and saves correctly.
A handful of minor level design changes have also been included to improve the game overall

Greetings,
Today we bring you a minor update to the game and some news on development.
In the current build, we have done a lot of updating and minor fixing, but we won't bore you with the tedious list of changes, but here's the gist.

Fixed some odd guard paths
Fixed the Casino depth hiding not set up correctly
Fixed some art issues with the Art Gallery Get it interactables.
Updated some sound files of the Gun Guards
Added a UI display for when you save and load a checkpoint.
The reason behind the light update is due to our focus on bigger fish.
We have a new level in-development, The Mansion!
The bulk of our work in recent weeks have been creating this level. While we don't have a clear date on when it will be ready for testing, we hope to share some more details on the level with you soon!
Additionally, we will now be pushing builds and news updates out on Mondays AEST.

Greetings!
Last Wednesday we pushed out a big Update to steam that encapsulated a bunch of changes.
This included new content and fixes to outstanding issues we didn't didn't notice present in the initial update last weekend.
We chalk up the oversight to a lack of coffee...
So here's what has changed:

Casino We had begun rebuilding the street section of the Casino but wasn't finished when we pushed out the update. Since we have done more work to get the area into line with our final vision
Reduced the height of street buildings
Added wall fading to Street borders
Added Gun Guard to Street entrance
Fixed underground transition
Country Club
The long-awaited changes to the Country Club are now live and ready for testing

Redesigned the outer rooms for better gameplay as well as made them outdoors
Converted the outer areas to be encapsulated
Removed large uninteresting open area around outer rooms
Video configurations

Re-added Monitor selection
Re-added V-sync setting
Re-added Texture Quality setting
Added ini file generation for easily adjust settings outside of the game Can be found in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\AtomizerGames\Heist'
The Art Gallery at present still requires some additional work but will be available in the next Update
We are eager to hear your feedback on the Country Club and Casino updates which you can post to the General Discussions and Bug Forums respectively.
Happy Heisting
