Hey chummers and chooms, The game has been updated to version 1.3.2, once again bringing visual improvements to the game to enhance the immersion and player fantasy.

New Heist briefing cutscenes

From very early in development, we knew we wanted the crew to have these snappy briefing dialogues where they go over the heist plan, just like in movies like Mission: Impossible or Ocean's Eleven. But as we got into the later stages of development, it became clear that with our limitationsmainly the time left until releaseit would be the best candidate for a cut if we didnt want the rest of the game to suffer. Since all of the VOs were already recorded, we decided to implement a 'less expensive' solution as briefing dialogues.

With this update, we're finally bringing the briefing cutscenes back. They're done in the same motion comics style as the rest of the cutscenes in the game. To see how they look in action, check out the video of the briefing for the first heist below: [previewyoutube=xdduI24EAFE;full][/previewyoutube] So together with Update 1.1.0 bringing new combat animations, VFX and visual progression to the hub https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1982940/view/523078071951032586?l=english and Update 1.2.0 polishing up all of the combat environments https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1982940/view/503940938959160160?l=english this marks the end of our Visual Update trilogy, and the game now has all the visual content we originally planned for it.
