Today's the day we set The Masterplan in motion

Later on today, at 20:00 CEST / 11AM PST, the full release of The Masterplan will be coming out. At that time all of the Early Access users can update their game to the release version, and everyone waiting for the release can purchase the game themselves!

Pricing

Due to the way Steam works, the price has already been raised to the intended $19.99 / 19.99€ / £14.99. However, as soon as the game is launched, we'll also apply a launch discount, bringing the price back to the same range as it was throughout the Early Access. So hold on for few more hours while the launch gets underway, and then hit the store!

19:00 CEST / 10AM PST: LIVE Stream from the Shark Punch studio!

Join us when we take over the Indie MEGABOOTH Twitch channel for two hours to do a live stream from our studio, featuring shark fins and the devs playing the game and interacting with the audience. We might even do some giveaways if we get a nice crowd together!

Tunes of the Heist - The Masterplan Soundtrack

Final note! Together with the game, we're also releasing The Masterplan soundtrack with 19 remixed tracks, recorded by an actual live band. You can either bundle the soundtrack to your game purchase, or buy it on its own.

The Masterplan is an award-winning tactical squad-based heist game set in 1970s. The 2D top-down view gives you a great overview of what's happening at any given moment, allowing you to be a real criminal mastermind. Features hand-drawn 2D graphics and fun group control, granting you total control - at least until someone calls the cops and everything goes haywire.

During the game you'll need to heist your way through 20 unique hand-crafted heists in a persisting career mode, manage your crew from heist to heist by hiring the right goons and by making sure they are properly equipped. A test of a true mastermind will be to execute the plan to perfection, keep the goons alive, and walk away with the maximum loot from each heist.

Depending on your preference, you can hit your targets loud, or in stealth, or a mix of both. Keep the civilians under control, knock them out, or leave no witnesses. It's all up to you, just make sure you won't be there when the cops arrive - or be ready for a brutal firefight.

If you are hungry for more content on top of the campaign, you can test your mettle in the 8 challenge maps, built by the development team, available through Steam Workshop. And with Steam Workshop support, players can also create their own heists!
