Repeated intro
Greetings, Thief Tycoons! It’s been a while.
We have some news to share: controller support and key remapping are now implemented and will go live with the February Steam Next Fest build.
It’s hard to believe, but the Demo is closing in on 50,000 downloads —nearly 50,000 people have played the game since we launched in July 2025.
When we first put the Demo out in the summer of 2025, even 5,000 wishlists felt like a distant dream. Now, at the start of 2026, we’re past 35,000 wishlists and still growing. Thank you, really.
The upcoming Next Fest is the biggest milestone we’ve had so far. To match the support and expectations you’ve given us, we brought these features forward—originally planned for the full release—so they’re in the February build. After all, when it comes to thievery, "feel" is everything.
This is our first time shipping controller support and key remap, so there may be rough edges. If you run into any issues, please let us know in our community channels! We’ll use your feedback to refine these features for the official launch.
To every player who’s been with us
No matter how many times we say thank you, it never feels like enough.
We hope the game itself can be our answer to your support.
And to every indie developer reading this
Keep going. Don’t give up.
We believe that this year, we can all get a little closer to our dreams.
See you at Next Fest, little goblins.
