We're thrilled to unveil our brand new story trailer, a first proper glimpse into the gripping story of HeistGeist. Just to recap: HeistGeist unfolds the gripping tale of Alexandra, a seasoned thief for hire battling for survival after her last job in Venice spiraled into chaos. Pursued by relentless corporate assassins and facing a dire ultimatum from a very unhappy client, Alex must recruit a team of specialists to orchestrate the heist of a lifetime. The unforgiving streets of Istrocity, a cyberpunk rendition inspired by futuristic Bratislava, set the stage for an authentic cyberpunk narrative in a distinctly European backdrop.

New demo gameplay trailer

What's new in the d1.1.1 update

Combat improvements

• Improved communication of when you have the combo ready - When the combo condition for a card you are about to play has been met, the card now displays a visible golden glow. An animation has been added to the last played card indicator, making it easier to follow.

• New Visual Effects (VFX) - Several new visual effects (VFX) have been added to nearly all attack animations, for both Alexandra and her enemies. We've also added impact VFX for various damage types: slashes, stabs, shots, electricity, poison, and more.
• Notifications - Every time a character in combat receives a status effect or their HP value is changed, a notification pops up next to them.
• Change to Shield visuals - Now, when a character with a shield is attacked, a special animation is played, showing the shield being impacted. There's also a special animation for when the shield gets destroyed.
• Improved combat animations - Work continues.
• New cards - Six new cards have been added for you to try out.

*NEW* Combat Simulator

• A new type of 'mission' accessible from the city map. This involves a series of combat encounters in which you can try out the new cards and experiment with different deckbuilding strategies

Hacking overhaul

• Visual improvements -
• Tooltips - When a Node on the grid is hovered over, it now displays a tooltip with all the necessary information about it. This eliminates the need to refer back to the tutorial when you're uncertain about remembering something correctly.
• Card effect preview - When you target a node with a card, the effect it will have is now previewed on the grid. This informs you about how the strength of the node will change, or whether it will be captured or destroyed.

• Guardian Node - New type of ICE Node that you will have to overcome
• Garbage Node - New type of Node that you can use to discard cards you currently don't have a good use for, so that they wouldn't take up precious memory space.

New Music

• New music tracks have been added to the heist map and hacking.
• All of the music tracks have been broken down into individual instruments with a predetermined chance of being played. This ensures that when the track loops, it sounds different from before.

*NEW* Controller and Steam Deck support

• The game should be fully playable with an Xbox controller and also on the Steam Deck. This marks the first iteration of this feature, so we're very much open to your feedback. We're also aware that some of the text on the Deck might be a bit too small; that's something we plan to work on.

Hello everyone! We wanted to take a moment to update you on what we've been up to over the past few months, as well as what we're currently working on and what we have planned for the near future.

Reboot Develop Blue 2023

What we're working on

Controller and Steam Deck support

Content - Story, levels, enemies and cards

• Story & Levels - In the demo, you got a small taste of the game, but there is so much more to Alex and her crew's story. We have the story outline completed and are currently transforming it into individual levels with unique story events and dialogues. Players can look forward to meeting plenty of cool new characters and experiencing thrilling heists in locations inspired by real existing buildings.

• Enemies - Rather than talk about them, we'd like to give you a sneak peek of some of the enemis that will do everything in their power to stop Alex and her crew from achieving their goal.

• Cards - As for the cards, we're working on adding new cards for Alex to add a couple more archetypes to build your deck towards. While they still revolve around her signature combo mechanic, these new cards will introduce fresh mechanics and tactics for players to utilize. We will talk about them a bit more in a few months, when we'll be also looking for testers who would like to give these new archetypes a try.
• Hacking - We're also working on the next iteration of the hacking mechanic, which will add a new special type of barrier nodes called Guardians to the grid. In addition, we'll be introducing some more UX and quality of life improvements.

Our game HeistGeist is being a part of the first issue of Storyteller's Festival here on Steam. The demo of our game received a new update with multiple small, but important changes, that we'd like to tell you more about below.

What's new in the d1.0.10 update

Choice events

• Change to the screen layout - Outcomes of your choices are now shown on the right side of the screen in a form of a list
• Updated typography - We have changed the default font, adjusted the spacing and font sizes of various texts, to make them more pleasant to read
• Dynamic image change - The title image associated with each event can now sometimes change to better illustrate what's taking place in the event
• More character animations - The characters on the left side of the screen are now more reactive to what's happening in the particular events
• Animated text - The texts of the event are now revealed gradually as they fade-in onto the screen over a short period of time
• New texts - Pretty much all of the texts of the Choice Events went through rewrites, stylistic changes and proofreading

Combat

• Simplified card texts - Introduced a new keyword Combo, that replaced the usually quite wordy explanation of how playing the cards in sequence work. The explanation has now moved to the card tooltip.
  
• Camera Shake - Due to a mistake, all the attacks and hits lacked the proper impact before, but not anymore!
• Replaced Vigilance with Payback - The Vigilance status effect is now replaced with a new, similar status effect, called Payback. It reads: Payback [X] - When this character is attacked, they deal [X] damage to the attacker. Lasts for one turn.
• Special attack animations for combos - Currently experimental. When you meet the combo requirement of playing a card in sequence with card of a certain type, it now has a slightly different animation.

Misc

• Subtitles in cutscenes - Added english subtitles to all three cutscenes present in the demo.
