Thieves and Gold

Town Rebuilt, Guided First Heist, and a New Mimic Encounter Hi everyone, The biggest update to the Thieves & Gold demo is now live. The Town has been rebuilt, the opening heist is now guided by the characters themselves, a new Mimic encounter has been added, and the complete demo is now available in German. This update also includes major improvements to bombs, hammer targeting, challenges, run results, the Skill Tree, room fairness, and overall readability. Town and Crew Rebuilt Town interface The target list and building detail view have been redesigned to make jobs, rewards, occupants, crew assignments, and available actions easier to understand. Clearer thief assignments Sending a thief is now the primary action, with improved crew cards, clearer confirmation details, and better messaging when every thief is already busy. Progression-aware Town rewards Town payouts now grow alongside the rooms you unlock, with more reward variety across assignments. Improved Donation Shrine The Donation Shrine now unlocks more naturally through progression and has received a complete presentation pass. Smarter First Heist Character-led tutorial guidance Tutorial instructions are now presented through an in-world character ribbon connected to the object or action you should focus on. Playable first-room guidance Your first thief now guides you through targeting, breaking containers, collecting loot, finding keys, and finishing the opening room. Clearer keys Exposed keys now receive a visible beacon and stronger collection feedback. A New Mimic Encounter Mimics are now part of the demo for the first time. This chest does not simply wait to be opened. It steals the loot you have discovered, forcing you to react before ending the run. The encounter includes dedicated reveal, theft, destruction, and reward feedback so the Mimic remains readable even when the room is filled with containers, loot, damage numbers, and dungeon effects.
