Dear Thief Tycoons,

Hello.

Over the past few days, we've read every single review, both the positive and the negative, and we've spent a lot of time thinking.

What we want to hold onto is the core feeling of "high risk, high reward." But in how we actually designed and tuned the game, we made mistakes.

The criticism that hit us the hardest was this: many players said they didn't die because they were greedy , they died because they had no choice but to be greedy.

That was a wake-up call.

To be greedy or not should be the player's own choice, take a bigger risk for better loot, or play it safe and extract while you can. That decision itself is the most essential part of the fun. But in the previous version, rent pressure forced everyone down the same path: be greedy or go bankrupt. That's not "high risk, high reward." That's no choice at all.

Some challenges are genuinely fun to overcome -- solving a trap puzzle, learning a map's layout, pulling off a perfect stealth run after studying enemy patrol routes, or going all in on one last steal and making it out alive.

But the pressure of not being able to make rent doesn't belong to that kind of fun. That was a mistake in our balancing, and we sincerely apologize.

Lastly

As an indie dev team, we care deeply about the game we've made. So when criticism comes, our instinct is to explain, to defend. But player experience doesn't lie. Those who say the game is a blast, and those who say it's painful -- they're both telling the truth.

Going forward, we'll keep fixing, keep iterating, and keep listening to all of your feedback and criticism.
