The Masterplan

EARLY ACCESS UPDATE 9.2 - What about the second hotfix?
Hi goons!
We were getting feedback on people experiencing a crash on game launch and since our great community provided us with crash logs we were able to pinpoint the issue.

To fix that issue we've released another hotfix today.

* Fixed a crash with loading save files on game start.


If you are encountering any issues, please post about them on the forums or contact us with mail at support@sharkpunch.com.

Remember to check if you have any crash logs, you can find the steps here.
Also, please provide us information on the computer you are running the game with.

Thanks for all the feedback and have fun with the game!

EARLY ACCESS UPDATE 9.1 - The Vanishing of Items
We noticed a nasty bug sneaking in on the update 9.0 that caused some items to disappear from the inventory on certain occasions. We also felt that the tranquilizer needed a little nerf.

* Fixed an issue where two of the same named items would merge into a single item in inventory between levels.
* Changed the rate of fire of tranquilizer from 1 to 3.

Have fun!

EARLY ACCESS UPDATE 9.0

Final level for the arcade branch and new saving features!

New content and features:



  • The Pier - steal a closely guarded secret item
  • Item shop - Buy unlocked items
  • Save management - select, continue and make new game saves
  • New non-lethal weapon - play out your shooting fantasies without killing


Minor features and bugfixes:



  • Broken cameras are now suspicious
  • Stacking items have maximum limits - for example pistol ammo maximum 40 on one inventory slot
  • Polished UI - feel the bounce when selecting goons
  • Arcade level now has arcade sounds and flashing lights
  • Fixed a memory leak that increased ram usage over time



Using a non-lethal gun to cut in line!


Bought items appear in a fancy wooden delivery crate

EARLY ACCESS UPDATE 8.1 - Tuna Hotfix
Following quickly on the heels of yesterday's 8.0 release, the Early Access Update 8.1 addresses the main issues with the new campaign mode, along with some immediate bug fixes.

Changelog


-Fixed the 'Tuna Bug' that caused a crash when going back to Minimart (or Arcade) if you hadn't stolen the tuna and the candy. Yeah, you read that right.
-Fixed a bug that crashed the game when loading the bonus multiplayer levels.
-When your whole team dies in a level, you can't accidentally go back to hideout anymore, you must reset the heist (instead of having a chance to go back to the hideout without goons.)
-Respawning ammo/weapons added to some levels, including the hideout.
-Hideout gets respawnable weapons after you've found the item one time. (This will change when we get the "Black Market" implemented where you can actually buy weapons and ammo.)
-Gregory Green starts with a pistol and some ammo now.
-You can now open the 'Hire Goons' menu with right-clicking as well as left-clicking.

EARLY ACCESS UPDATE 8.0 - The Metagame

The metagame is here! In Early Access patch 8.0 we introduce the long-awaited campaign system into The Masterplan. Players will be able to manage their gang and the gear will carry on from one heist to another. Despite the extensive changes in the game system, players will be able to continue with their old save files, though we recommend hiring more goons before taking on the big jobs!

    Hiring goons, choosing goons for the heist, managing goon gear, losing goons!

In the arcade you can find a semi-literal tonne of coins. Best bring a bag!
