After receiving a mixed reception Killers and Thieves is taking stock of community concerns and pledging ongoing support and development.

Killers and Thieves update coming very soon
25 May - Khatie
Greetings to everyone in the Killers and Thieves community!

First, and most importantly, thank you to everyone who has bought our game. We know you have a lot of things you could be spending your money on, and we are honored that so many of you are supporting Killers and Thieves. However, we also recognize that it hasn't been a problem-free launch.

The whole team here at Stoic really appreciates all of your feedback about Killers and Thieves. Community feedback is vital for what we do, because it's the main way we learn about issues that need addressing. We are paying attention to everything being shared with us, and that in turn is helping us to prioritize the updates and fixes that are most urgently needed.

We look forward to sharing an improved Killers and Thieves experience very soon, which will address the most pressing concerns in the community. These will include:

Clarifying the early-game player experience:

- We're adding a clear, updated, in-game tutorial panel. This will help to explain high-level gameplay goals and improve the early player experience.
- We're working with an expert Killers and Thieves player to record videos demonstrating effective ways to play. These videos will be accessible from the title screen and will outline strategies to help players pick up the key mechanics more easily, and will be subtitled.

Adding extra functionality and fixes:

- Pressing the spacebar will pause the action during a heist, in addition to the P key.
- A fix will be added to improve accuracy of the "mission success chance".
- The scrolling speed of the loot menu will be fixed.
- Store information will be laid out correctly against the screen edge.
- Corrections will be made to in-game text.

We are working on these vital updates and fixes right now, and they will be implemented as soon as possible. More updates will follow based on deeper consultation with the community over the next few days and will continue in the coming weeks.

Thanks again for being part of the Killers and Thieves player community. Please keep that feedback coming in, and remember that we are reachable at kt@stoicstudio.com for any support queries.

Thank you,
The Stoic team

Killers and Thieves is an action rpg from some of the people that developed The Banner Saga with help from Stoic. The game revolves around running a thieves guild as a guildmaster.

Features

• You are the guildmaster. Send your ragged crew out on daring heists to stake out targets, steal precious things, and even perform assassinations.
• Think on your feet. Meticulously-planned operations may fall into chaos as surprising emergent events come together in new and unexpected ways.
• Play your way. Follow a compelling series of story-driven missions, and employ your own initiative to identify high-value targets in a living open world.
• Keep the gold flowing. Wages must be paid, so make sure the money keeps rolling in. If the coffers are empty when payday comes, there could be trouble.
• Manage your thieves. Recruit worthless street rats and forge them into master criminals, but remember the risks: even your best might not come home again.
• An ugly world made beautiful. The sprawling city of Greypool and its seedy residents are brought to life with stunning art and animation inspired by medieval artworks.
• An acclaimed team. Killers and Thieves was created by Alex Thomas, co-creator of the acclaimed Banner Saga series, and a team of award-winning industry professionals.
