I'm very happy to let you all know that I've been working hard on optimizing the game, and I have some good news to share.

Optimization has now been improved significantly!

(Basic knowledge: FPS should be as high as possible, and ms (draw calls) should be as low as possible)

Before improvement: (On Epic settings)
Intensive areas were at 40 FPS and 25 ms draw
Standard areas were at 60 FPS and 20 ms draw
Light areas were at 80 FPS and 18 ms draw

After improvement: (On Epic settings)
Intensive areas are now at 70 FPS and 15 ms draw
Standard areas are now at 90 FPS and 12 ms draw
Light areas are now at 110 FPS and 10 ms draw

I will keep working to improve performance even further before full release, but right now, I'm very happy with these numbers. And it's all on Epic settings, which is the highest you can go. If you play the game on low or medium graphic settings, you'll see slightly higher FPS overall and lower ms draws.

I'm also very excited to share that localization has been added for the demo. The plan was to only include it for the full version, since I was busy with fixing a lot of other aspects of the game and putting my full focus on performance at first. Now that it's a bit more under control, I’ve invested the time to add localization for all the languages listed on Steam.

Languages included:
English
German
Spanish
Russian
Simplified Chinese

Besides this, I have fixed minor bugs with:
- character collision
- Fire alarms, and projector widgets getting stuck on the screen when you play multiplayer.

Thanks again to everyone who has tried out my demo, it really means a lot. Please provide feedback to help improve the game.

Cheers!

Hi everyone, first off, thank you so much to all who tried out my demo and wishlisted the game. I have been working hard on fixing and improving things.

What is implemented?
• Healing items added. You can find, store, and use them when needed. They spawn randomly like all the other items.
• Flashlight improvement. The flashlight range is now increased to see further with a larger radius. I’ll keep working on the flashlight to improve it since it’s a big part of the game.
• Head bobbing can now be turned off in the settings if you prefer.
• Tv and radio could already be turned off by shooting them, but now you can also manually turn them off by interacting with them.
• Pickup widget for all items is increased a bit to make items easier to find, but not too much, as that could cause widgets to appear through walls if an item is on an opposite wall.
• Tooltips added for how to play the game.
• Various collisions have been adjusted.
• I have looked into the issue of high CPU usage, which one player reported. My PC and my friend’s PC don’t experience this, Im working hard to optimize the game to make the performance better and will be updating when i know for sure it has become better, thanks for your understanding.

Besides this, I’m working to polish the game and make the final adjustments to make the game as good as possible. I’ll soon announce the release date, and I hope you guys are as excited as I am! It has been a long journey, almost three years to develop this game and soon it is ready for release. I hope you’re going to enjoy it.

I’ve tested the game countless times to ensure there are no major bugs. I haven’t encountered any major bugs; however, there are a few minor ones I’m aware of, and I’m working to fix all of these. If you encounter any bugs, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to resolve them. Remember, the full version will be available in the languages listed on the Steam page.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and a big thanks again to everyone who played the demo and wishlisted the game. You can also join my Discord to talk directly with me or to provide feedback.


Cheers!
