V 0.1.2 LIVE NOW! STILL IN PUBLIC EARLY ACCESS/TESTING!

Here's what I changed in this latest update!

New Features:

Animatronics in the backrooms can now HEAR you, not just see you, GREATLY increasing the chance of you having an animatronic encounter!

Added a volume slider to the options menu for master volume. I plan on adding separate sliders for music, SFX, and more on the full release!

PERFORMANCE UPGRADES

I have received several reports of the game lagging or completely crashing on lower end PC's. As much as that's not really something wrong with the game itself, I have done as much as I can at the moment to try and help with that.

Here's what changed:

Added more LOD's to the main cutscene with the phone call and greatly decreased the poly count on the building your inside of (since you can't see 99% of it anyway, the loss of quality really doesn't matter)

Decreased poly count inside the mega pizza plex to hopefully make it run smoother. Unfortunately due to an Unreal Engine 5.2 bug, I can't enable nanite on large scale static meshes like the pizza plex so its VERY HARD to optimize it. I have changed the LOD count on it and adjusted lighting and casted shadows to hopefully decrease lag. You will likely notice a loss in quality inside the pizza plex on some of the larger items but its such a small section of the game I don't think its the end of the world

Enabled nanite on all eligible static meshes. Nanite basically makes everything run 100x better!

FEATURES COMING SOON

Adding more performance upgrades where possible

Add in an official ending to the game as well as an ending cutscene

Finishing hidden secrets and Easter eggs

Adding an Endless Mode to the game after you beat the main game, you can select endless mode from the start menu allowing you to enter the backrooms and instead of finding an escape, all the animatronics have HYPERSENSITIVE senses and your goal is to survive as long as possible

Adding in more tape players to collect through the backrooms level to unlock the ending.

Credits scene at end of game and upon pressing the credits button on the starting menu
