How do you get the "its my first day" achievement in the very organized thief? Please, I have all the other achieves...

Crandria Dalton
If we told you it wouldn't be an achievement. But we can give you a hint. : P
It has to do with the teddy bears.

Is it true that if you turn on the lights/make loud sounds the owner will come home sooner?

The owner won't come home sooner if you turn on lights or make loud sounds. He will come home sooner if you set off the alarm.
But he does see you more easily in rooms with lights on, and if you make to much noise he will investigate the sound.

How many new houses will be in the new version of the game???

We are currently working on 3 new levels, with the hopes to add even more. One level is the remake of the original house with a slightly different layout and new areas to search for things in. The other two, are brand new levels with new things to "borrow" and unique challenges.
If you want even more levels, please pre-order, tell your friends, share it on Facebook and Twitter. Every pre-order helps us to add more features and levels to The Very Organized Thief.

currently, in the game if you stand right at the door, you can escape right when the owner walks in/right before he walks in. are you guys gonna keep that feature??

Currently the prototype (the one free to play) has a number of things that you can do that we are hoping to change, such as leaving the house despite the owner being outside the door. So how you escape is going to be a little different in the new version.

Is there a name for the owners? Well you include things like them coming home with wife/husband, and/or children? or maybe even a drunker coming home with a bunch of friends, haha. also, will the owners react to their house being trashed up if you mess about?

The owner does have name...
Our current aim with levels is to keep owners and other characters appearances the same, but their behaviour slightly different every time you play. This keeps some level of predictability within the game making it a little easier for players. This isn't to say that it won't be challenging.
And yes, owners and other characters will respond to the mess you make around the house.

Are you going to edit the free version at all? Also are there any hidden features in the free version that result in either a jumpscare or relate to a storyline? How does the Owner's programming work for e.g does have a 'suspicious' and 'not-suspicious' mode and is he outside the door always?

We are currently focusing on developing the new version, along with finding a means to help fund The Very Organized Thief. So there are no plans currently to update the free version.
The game has no programmed jump scares. A lot of the jump scares people are experiencing are simply "wrong place, right time".
As for the owner. The owner literally doesn't know anything about you until he see's you. When he arrives home, he will investigate any noise he might hear (i.e footsteps and doors) or lights he might see (i.e your torch). Until then, he's just wandering around the house. He also has a hard time seeing in the dark, which is why he turns most of the lights on. He will also come home earlier if you set the alarm off.

In the Christmas Edition, will the owner be dressed up as Santa?

We currently don't have any planned updates for the the Free Version.
However, the Christmas Edition will self activate between December 1st to 31st allowing you to run around a nicely decorated house with some extra items to "borrow" and achievements.

Is the owner always a kangaroo when you play this game in Australia?

Lol No. It's random, but will always appear during the week leading up to Australia Day.

Will you try to get this game onto steam and make it free until you add more to the game?

Yes, the game is already on Steam Greenlight and you can vote "Yes" if want to see it get on Steam.

As for it being free. The original prototype of the game will remain free for people to play. However we won't be releasing the new version for free.
Why?
For this game, a number of the features we are going to be adding is difficult and very time consuming. We are also developers currently working out of our own pocket, who need to be able to eat and pay bills in order to make this happen for everyone. Even with part time jobs, development only takes longer.
In an ideal world, we'd love to make games for free for everyone to enjoy. But in order for us to create more games in the future, money to be able to do that has to come from somewhere to give us all the time we need to be able to work on The Very Organized Thief and future titles.

What modelling software do you use to create your games?

Most of the time we use Autodesk Maya 2013 for model and level creation.
However, we occasionally use Blender and Cheetah 3D to help us do things that this version of Maya can't do.

When I play the game, the torch doesn't work. All it does is make the house harder to see. Is it a bug or glitch?

This is a known issue and has to do with your graphics hardware.
Unity optimizes certain features depending on your computers hardware. And sometimes, if your hardware isn't good enough, it turns off lights to increase the games performance for your system. But for games which rely on these lights, the game appears broken.
If you'd like to know more on how to fix it or other encountered other bugs, visit the link below for the prototype version of The Very Organized Thief.

What is the Dead Zone is the options?

Dead zone is to do with game controller input. Adjusting it determines how far the control stick will need to be moved before you start moving and looking around in the game.

When you say new levels, do you mean new houses, owners, objects etc. or just new features in the same hose? Great game.

When we say new levels. We mean new levels which will contain new items, new things for you to do and interact with.
These levels will also contain different types of characters.
We're aiming to make each level unique and have their own challenges in finding the items on your list.
Hope that clears up any confusion : )

So, are there ways to stop the owner? Since we're not able to physically trap the owner or block the owner from coming.

In the current version people have successfully trapped the owner in the closet or creatively used a number moveable objects to block the owner from moving.
But in terms of an actual way to prevent the owner coming home, nope! The owner is already on his way home when the game starts.

Are you ever going to do a multiplayer TVOThief?

We'd like to add multiplayer, however we're currently prioritising development around the single player modes.
We're doing a lot of research into multiplayer, looking at what is required to develop, host and maintain a multiplayer game before we can really say if it will or won't have multiplayer.
But we will be keeping it in mind as we move forward!

What owners are you going to add in and are they going to have homes and stats? Also will there be a over world type thing? Oh and final question are all of the special teddy bears going to stay, if so can they be collectibles?

We will be adding some new characters with the new levels we hope to create. Some of the details about what we would like to do is still up in the air. It really depends on our final starting budget that we will find out when the kickstarter ends (if it's successful and also it hasn't started yet). And YES! The special teddy bears are going to stay.

How do you fell about YouTube let play of 'The Very Organized Thief' monetization ?

We're happy for people to monetize their Let's Plays of The Very Organized Thief. As long as people provide the appropriate links to the game and/or our website, people can monetize their Let's Play.
As for our feelings about the monetization of Let's Play, the link below to one of our blog posts should help explain that : )
http://www.redefinitiongames.com/update-merry-christmas/

will now you free what day you will start to make the tvo theif diary or pictures. Great game :)

We don't have specific scheduled dates for developer diaries as of yet as we're priortising work for our kickstarter, but we will be updating people with its progress.
As for sneak peaks and screenshots, you'll have to wait and see! No point in scheduling surprises!

When the alarm on the electricity box goes off, does the owner come home quicker? Because whenever I start the game, the first thing I do is turn off the electricity. I accidentally cut the blue wire first, setting off the alarm. Then, the owner came home 10 seconds later.

The owner will come home quicker if you trip the alarm first. If you don't trip the alarm he comes home his usual time.

Will you add new items to the new The Very Organised Thief

We will be adding a number of new items along with new levels.

when you take out the remake of the very organized theif or a actulization of the current?

We have a number of plans for releasing the remake of TVOThief depending on what happens with the kickstarter.
As for the current available version we'll be doing a minor up for the kickstarter.
