  • Game down in size under 1 gigabyte, same quality

  • Subtle particle effects added

  • Added a few other subtle effects

  • Chester misbehaves less in this update, but he is still fast and mean :)

  • Emily roams around the basement sometimes

  • Made something (that no one ever found) a little more noticeable

  • Requires 1GB less video ram, but more is always better

  • Game should handle saving fullscreen and windowed mode options correctly

  • You can easily read all notes in the game, even in the dark!

  • Tons of optimizations, textures, lighting, etc…

Windows Only:

  • On new install, option to choose quality before game starts

  • Flashlight beam a little different

Macs only:

  • Lowered the frame rate some to make the gameplay smoother

  • Slowed down the speed of looking around (less MLG!)

I think that is everything, I don't keep up with my changes very well. Thanks again to all of the great Emily Wants to Play fans out there. You guys are great! I watch the Let's Plays on YouTube. I read the comments here and there and everywhere. Plus, I check out what you guys are saying on social media. It has been very positive and I am glad that so many of you have enjoyed playing and watching people play Emily Wants to Play! -Shawn
