https://store.steampowered.com/app/1043810/Tactical_Breach_Wizards/ We just released our next game, which we've been working on for more than 6 years. And it's just like Heat Signature! As long as you overlook the genre, perspective, time scale, party size, and story focus. But! But! They do have these things in common: Throwing yourself and others through windows Getting yourself into a terrible situation, and having all the time you need to think your way out of it A tendency toward emergent gameplay A wide range of tools that have a variety of non-obvious uses More importantly, there's a ve

One Off The List is our weekly list feature. Is there something you think doesn’t deserve to be on this list? Comment with your reasons why, and next week it may be struck off. When the historians of the future cast their cyber-eyes over the deluge of stupidity we encrusted upon the primitive internet, they will see that our fables, our moral storytelling, was mostly conducted with flashing colours and double-jumps. Yes, videogames have adopted the moralistic finger-wagging of fairytales and Victorian novels, for better or for worse. They have taught us a lot about ourselves and our pl

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Heat Signature is about plans going wrong. Oh, you were going to burst into that room, grab the hostage, activate your slipstream and leg it past the guards? Tough luck, you’ve dropped him. Now there’s a bullet heading for your sternum, and no time to do anything but pick the hostage back up and throw him in the way. Now you’ve been shot down anyway, mission scrubbed, tossed out of an airlock with your tail between your legs. Ah well. There are plenty more bounties in s

Tactical Breach Wizards has come a long way since its early days as an in-joke turned prototype from Gunpoint dev Tom Francis and pals. Now it looks like a clever little tactical puzzler in the vein of Into The Breach, only instead of giant robots pushing aliens into volcanoes, it’s modern-day wizards pushing criminals out windows. There’s still a lot of work to be done on the game, with some great early art direction hiding many development sins, but today’s eleven minutes of new footage are absolutely worth a look.

Each winter, until the 31st of Space December, the Voidmother encroaches on this dark corner of the galaxy, and we all stay close to home and swap random objects with our Steam friends via industrial gift chutes. We also have a new patch that'll help more folks get into the Daily Challenge, and experienced Challengers have a smoother time. And we're half-price! http://store.steampowered.com/app/268130/Heat_Signature/ Introducing Easy Sundays On Sundays, the daily challenge is easier. Normal daily challenges are Hard > Hard > Mistake. Easy Sundays are Medium > Hard > Hard. Perfect performances

We've uploaded a new patch, here's what's changed: 2018.11.5.1 Melee impact noise causes guards to look, but doesn't automatically make them sound the alarm. (They'll still sound the alarm when they see you.) Reduced radius of Concussion Hammer's melee impact noise. Fixed pods sometimes leaving behind contents when undocking from ships.

Once again for the duration of Space Halloween - 28th of Space October to the 1st of Space November - life and death in the Drift will be a little different: Removed: Death Due to science, you cannot die during Space Halloween. Bleeding out, suffocating, or being incinerated in an exploding pod will permanently turn you into a living skeleton. Once Halloween is over, you’ll remain a skeleton but any lethal damage will finish you off. On the plus side, skeletons are undetectable by guard’s heat sensors, and can spacewalk indefinitely since they no longer need to breathe. Characters with the Dyi

We've been patching a lot since the Space Birthday Update went live and we didn't want to spam you with announcements, so I'm writing this one to round up the changelist and highlight some things: The update is optional We heard from a few people who wanted to still be able to play without the update changes, so we've set up a permanent branch of the game without them. If that's you, right click Heat Signature, go to Properties > Betas and choose the 'prebirthday' beta. It's not actually a beta, it's the build of the game that was live for six months without needing a patch, so it's pretty sol
