We're happy to release the September Milestone Update, along with a sale!
Penguin Heist has seen a lot of changes and additions since it's release, and we wanted to celebrate it. This update contains everything from the testing branch and some extra fluff. Since we launched the game we have gotten a lot of new ideas and direction where we want to take the game, and thanks to the community (meaning you) we've been able to improve a lot.

That's quite a bit, but there's a lot more to come!
Now we're going to improve on the shop menu. We are reworking it into physical shops where you can preview things along with a Heist Planner in the style of a tech tree which will make progression more intuitive. We expect this to drop around Halloween.
There are well-known connection issues going on. Players can't join servers in the latest update. We're working on resolving it as soon as possible.
Stay safe and keep nootin'!
