CONTENT UPDATE #2: DIRTY DEEDS!!
What's up, WISE GUYS! First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who jumped in during Steam's Social Deduction Fest, and welcome to all the new members of the family!
I wanted to take a moment to touch base with everyone and share what's next for WISE GUYS and where development is headed.
What's Next?
With the DIRTY DEEDS update, WISE GUYS officially enters Alpha! This is a huge milestone for the project. It means the game's core mechanics, content, and major features are now locked in. From this point forward, my focus shifts toward bug fixing, optimization, progression systems, polish, and completing the remaining planned content as I work toward Beta and eventually Version 1.0.
What's Coming in DIRTY DEEDS?
BOSS OVERHAUL
Being the Boss is about to become a whole lot more dangerous.
The Boss will be able to call a Sit-Down, giving them the opportunity to issue orders and assign additional roles to players. During a Sit-Down, players cannot attack unless given permission by the Boss, creating a tense moment where everyone can plead their case, raise suspicions, or vote to mark someone for death.
Any player who fails to attend the Sit-Down in time will automatically be marked as Suspicious, making them visible when the Boss activates their new Boss Instinct ability... (more on that soon).
MELEE OVERHAUL
Brand-new melee animations
Blocking mechanics
Stamina system
No more stun-locking
Combat will feel smoother, fairer, and much more skill-based.
NEW RICO MAP — DIRTY DEEDS
A brand-new RICO map featuring a whole new gang that rivals the current Jersey Mob, along with a collection of new weapons to unleash absolute chaos.
NEW GAME MODE — GANG WARS
8 vs 8 — Bikers vs Wise Guys Two rival gangs. One battlefield. Fight across an all-new map built exclusively for Gang Wars. Last team standing wins.
MORE HOST OPTIONS
While I absolutely love the chaos that makes WISE GUYS what it is, I also want to give hosts more control over how they play. New session presets and gameplay settings will allow for a more deduction-focused experience for players who want it, while Chaos will remain the default way to play.
20+ NEW ACHIEVEMENTS
Plenty of new challenges and reasons to keep coming back.
LOCALIZATION
UI text will be localized into multiple languages, making WISE GUYS more accessible to players around the world.
I'm incredibly excited to share more about DIRTY DEEDS over the coming weeks/months, and I'd love to hear what you think. if you've got any questions about the game at all, feel free to drop them in the steam discussions or join the community DISCORD!!
As always... Thank you for playing, supporting the game, and being part of this community.
