Lockes the Thief

April 3rd Update
Hey everyone! Quick update on Lockes The Thief!

We got 10 reviews, finally! So I think we should be on the Discovery Queue.

I am working on the sequel, which is already feeling loads better, but I am still updating this version as well!

For example, I noticed people were having some problems with our auto save feature. SO I updated that! Now you won't get stuck in a death loop!

Remember, I'm here if you have any issues! Let me know how I can help! And thanks for playing!

Another Lil Patch
Hey everyone! I just now patched the game again. Now it knows when you are using a keyboard or XBox controller. Sorry no Playstation or Nintendo controller UIs. Also I fixed an error with the inventory window and the camera moving into certain views when reading signs. Give it a whirl!

Big Fat Patch
No not a patch on the character Fat, but a Big Fat Patch!

So after some toil with a good friend, the Auto Save System has been implemented! No more annoying saving problems! Hopefully that is solved for good!

And also a glitch that I won't talk about has been fixed as well!

Keep me posted on those reviews and critiques! I really appreciate all of it!

Another Patch!
Hey everyone! Here is another patch, and there will probably be another one tomorrow! I fixed quite a few bugs after watching a playthrough. Game Development am I right? Thank you everyone who has bought the game, especially those that left a review. I really, really need reviews y'all, I can't stress it enough! So if you have the game and have the time drop a line on this game of mine! Thanks.

Updates for February 22
Hey everyone! I made a quick few fixes to the game. There was a bug making my Sneak enemies T-Pose in the water which someone caught recently, so I fixed that. I wanted to do the auto save too but since from the start I had a single manual save system it would have corrupted your files if I was to change it.

I also fixed the inventory tool tip, which is basically when you hover over an item to see information on it. I noticed the bug while doing some work on my inventory system.

There is one last bug that I hope I fixed. I can't tell you it because only a few people found it, and if I didn't actually fix it you could potentially break the game! Sheesh! I guess I already knew game dev is hard.

I think that's all I got for you, folks! Looks like I'm getting mostly positive reviews on my first game ever, and I thank everyone who has supported it! I'll keep working on it and will announce a brand new second game eventually. Stay tuned!

Almost DONE


Hey everyone! Your new favorite Thief is coming your way! In just 6 more days, Lockes The Thief will be released to the public. The full version is technically at 100% (though we might do some other improvements) and I uploaded it into Steam, ready for purchase for a low cost.

The demo got an update, too. For people that had the old demo, you might be bummed out to see that the new demo doesn't have the dungeon in it anymore, as that will now be a part of the full version. There are a few other new levels in the full version as well. You might also notice some other improvements. I mostly did this so people could see what we've been working on. Honestly, since there is so many different things in the full than the demo, I thought I'd update it so you can enjoy.

So check out the demo, WISHLIST the game, and let's get this going! If you want to be a part of the conversation, PLEASE message me on one of my social links (you can find on the game) and I will get you into our discord channel, which has grown ever so slightly.

This is my first commercial game ever and I am pretty proud of it. But Padlockes Technologies won't stop there. There are already 2 others games planned, one of which being a SEQUEL to Lockes The Thief! I hope y'all keep rocking with me.

That's my rant. I will see y'all next time!

Graphical Update!
Hey everyone! It's Prescott 'Lockes' Lawani with a news announcement. Lockes The Thief is getting a graphical update! The full game will look slightly different than the demo. Get the demo while you can because I will be shutting it down in a couple of days!

The graphics that have been improved is the character and capsule art! Check out the capsule art now and prepare for new better looking characters on the full release date of February 9, 2022! A new trailer and screenshots will be coming soon, too! It's about to get busy!
