Invisible, Inc. Post-Launch Update
Originally posted by Bigfoot on the official forums:
Hello everyone!
*Phew*, that was a wild ride, getting this game out. I can say without a doubt that Invisible, Inc. was our hardest design challenge yet. When we built Invisible, we had a vision of what the game would be: a tight, all killer, no filler spy thriller where every action mattered, and every decision could be your last. We spent years developing this concept, and putting it through the ringer in Early Access. We’ve now officially launched, and we’re relieved that players are enjoying it.
So, what have we been doing since launch? First, we’ve been keeping track of all the bugs and suggestions that have been posted, as well as our automated error reporter, which tells us when something goes wrong, even when players might not see the issues themselves (for example, if an animation is missing for a few frames). Since we launched, we’ve put out a half dozen hot fixes.
We think we’ve caught the majority of the bugs (though of course, there will always be more to be squashed), and we’re now looking into the future. This is what we’re working on:
Free Content!
We’re already working on a free update to the game for all you wonderful people. Our first free content update will include some sweet new programs to play with. You can see a sneak peek, up above.
We are working on a good half dozen programs, and we’ll introduce them over time as they are ready. We’d also like to dive a bit deeper on another game mode, and we’re throwing around a few ideas here. They’re a lot of work, but we also feel they create a lot of replayability.
New Agent Pack
One of the best things about Invisible is how much a new starting suite can change your play style. Whether you’re packing Central with Faust, or dual wielding with Nika, new agents can greatly affect your trajectory. We’re looking into new Agent DLC pack, featuring agents from the now defunct Pan-Euro Infosec Agency. We think adding to the roster is not only great for the game, it also gives us more ways to delve into their backstory. We haven’t worked out the details or pricing for this yet, but we’d love to hear your feedback.
We launched this game into Alpha in early 2014, Early Access in the Fall of 2014, and now we’ve officially launched, but that doesn’t mean we’re done supporting the game.
Thank you once again for sticking with us!

Invisible, Inc. Official Release!

Key Features
- Character selection: Start with any of the 10 unlockable agents in the game, plus 6 agent variants, and 6 starting programs to crack corporate security.
- Deep customization of builds: each play through is different as you create your own strategy using agents, items, augments and programs, and adapt to your surroundings.
- Randomly generated world: locations, threats, and loot are randomly generated so each playthrough is vastly different and you’ll never get complacent.
- Choose your own game mode: with 5 different game modes and extensive custom generation options, each player can play the way they prefer.
- Fully animated cutscenes and voice over: with hundreds of lines of voice over, great animation, and fully animated cutscenes, we didn’t spare any expense to make an immersive experience.
Once again, a huge Thank You to everybody who joined us all the way from alpha, through early-access and soon to be release.

Heya! Thanks to all the Early Access folks with the prompt feedback as always. We've fixed a lot of the things you've found ahead of the official launch on Tuesday, as shown below.
Because a couple of the fixes includes simulation changes, to maintain compatibility and preserve your campaign, the simulation will rewind old saves to the beginning of the level with a new generation seed. We'll try to do this as little as possible, of course -- thanks for your patience!

<*>Fix missing pinning animation for 2-handed enemy units (enforcers, omni)
<*>Fix crash when a guard is shot when turning to face a moving agent.
<*>Fix modal-lockpick animation size.

<*>Agents can no longer paralyze drones.
<*>Fix a crash if a drone opens a door and is consequently shot by overwatch.

<*>Don't award end-of-level achievements if the player lost the mission.
<*>All Sankaku levels are ensured of at least one human guard.
