Hello Thieves,
I know a lot of time has gone by since our last update but its been a wild Summer. Firstly, a special thanks to everyone that provided feedback. There has been some gameplay updates but most of the time spent has been on the House Editor and the newly added Workshop support.
The reason for the length of time was that we did not want to release an update with already known bugs and shoddy Workshop support, so we finally got the game to a state that is ready for the public.
Unfortunately, due to Game Maker's limited file system control, full workshop support is only available to Windows users. We will continue working towards support for our Linux users and will try getting a hotfix out as soon as we can.
Workshop has been implemented so that no prior knowledge is necessary to contribute. It is extremely easy to upload and update a house on your workshop so all you need to do is come up with crazy houses! Stranga and I have uploaded a few houses to the workshop in order to test various features, so whereas you may download them.... Don't expect much because they are ONLY for testing and will probably be deleted soon.
-New awareness system for Thief; NPCs behind walls are harder to see.
-Insurance now saves money.
-Cleaned up many, many, many issues in House Editor mode. Both editor and Play mode.
-Added Workshop support for House Editor; Windows only (working on file system issues with linux)
-Added Workshop option to "Play Game" menu

-Open Editor menu and select "Publish"
-if it is a new workshop item select "Publish"
-if you would like to update an existing item select "Update"
-Once the progress stats disappear, you are done
-New items being uploaded generally take about 5-10 minutes to display on Workshop
-Updated items are almost instant
-Update the House's Workshop page with details and more photos if you'd like

-When download is done start Mini Thief

Whereas we have tested Workshop, there still may be bugs so if you come across any please report them to the Bug Reports sub-forum.
Thanks and Enjoy!
