Hello everyone,
just wanted to say the radio silence is over, and I will be back to posting regular updates on the game.
The reason it was so quiet is because I was busy working on the map and placement of NPCs, which is a slow and tiresome process, so there was really nothing to show.
However that's done now, and I can finally shed some light on what's going on with the game. ːsteamhappyː
Story
Beginning of the game - your house is raided by mob assasins
So, what will the story be?
I can't say everything about it, but a short version would be this:
In your past, you stole money from a mob, then moved to the middle of nowhere and expected a happy life. They found you, however. And they want you to pay the price, which is the ultimate doom.
You have to get out of there and figure out a way to deal with the mob. What can you do to stop them? Well, the first thing you think of, is to contact the friend who warned you of the night raid. Maybe he can help you.
Minor stuff
- Special skill points
These points are earned by stealing special items, which grant you 1 point per item. These points unlock extraordinary skills.
Special skills make your thief life much easier, so it's worth spending extra time finding the special items
- Non-house locations to rob
There will not only be houses in the neighbourhoods, but also locations such as a scrapyard, or the courier's headquarters with a lot of boxes to steal.
- HellNeighbour missions
Missions will have some variety. There will be not only 'Steal / Destroy' type missions, but also 'Plant the evidence', 'Assault', 'Photograph'. Photograph is pretty much some detective work - you gotta snap a close photo of either a room, a house, or even a person. Assault is what it pretty much says - slam someone's head in with a baton. Sounds fun and engaging.
Plant the evidence
- Phone usage
You will be able to use your phone to take photos, store parcel locker codes found in electronics / houses, and to quick buy a lockpick, if you ever run out of them during burglary.
For now that's it. As for when the game releases, I don't know. There is still a lot to do, I'm in the process of adding missions and I don't want them to be boring or repetitive. Will keep everyone posted about the progress ːsteamthumbsupː
