Update Version 0.1.6.208:

⚡ Features / Content added & changes

• Added more Hard and Impossible difficulty anomalies

• Added reverb sound system to the Office

• Added the seed as text in the bottom right corner of the current selected location

• Added "Area not available" text to objects planned to be expanded

• Added additional hitbox for moved anomalies, so you can report the original position as well as the moved object

• Created more Geisha shenanigans and Entity events on CountryHouse

• Changed shadow behaviour on distance

• Changed Office world and lighting settings, this should increase the FPS significantly, depending on your system

• Changed CountryHouse lighting settings

• Changed minimum not repeatable anomalies array to 80% of the total anomalies active

• Changed reporting circle behavior moving to the actual actor, will be more changed in the future

• Changed Geisha entity hitbox

• Changed the "x minutes until crash" text so it will show the actual seconds left until crashing

• Changed report circle to have a final position

• Changed the Entity spawner system so only one entity class can spawn at the same time (ex: only 1 Geisha at the same time but different entities can still spawn)

• Reduced lighting in the Office

• Adjusted shadow settings (This should fix most of the wacky shadows)

• Increased anomaly timer on Hard and Impossible by 1 tick to counter the long report timer

• Replaced the Stock image on the Country House

• Rewrote the anomaly randomizer (Anomalies now spawn more according to their difficulty (Example: Hard difficulty anomalies now spawn way more often than easier once when playing on hard))

• Limited Global Illumination level to "High" instead of Ultra, as it didn't affected GI much and tanked the FPS for no reason

• Removed breaker and server text from E-Mail for now as it's not part of the gameplay in this version

• The selected difficulty is now displayed on the button as well so it's more clear what difficulty you've selected

• You now always get at least 2 entity anomalies

• Locked and inaccessible area doors do not give an interact circle anymore

🔧 Fixed Bugs

• Fixed sign text clipping out of bounds on multiple languages

• Fixed that the shadow model of the player doesn't play footsteps (No double footsteps anymore)

• Fixed Entity spawner ignoring blocked cameras (Entities could spawn on malfunctioning cameras)

• Fixed some light bleeding through the hallway walls

• Fixed the colors of the blockade at the Country House Outside camera being blue when playing on low graphics mode

• Fixed Distortion anomaly overwriting the spazm audio and audio anomaly volume

• Fixed credits font not loading correctly

• Fixed shadows on smaller objects

• Fixed shadows on the signs in the Office Hallway

• Fixed levitation anomaly clipping through the floor

• Fixed texture not loading correctly of the stone in front of the office

• Fixed the hitbox of the bathtub when upside down

• Fixed Toiletpaperholder double hitbox

• Fixed Gnome move anomaly having the wrong camera index resulting the default camera reporting the change

• Fixed LOD level of objects on Country House

• Fixed custom difficulty using "Impossible" weight values

• Fixed stats save file not migrating correctly

• Fixed when it detects a too-new generated stats file (ex: Switching from unstable to stable), it couldn't load correctly

• Fixed critical soft-lock, when you pressed ESC multiple times when getting back into the office, it would give you a black screen and you couldn't do anything anymore and needed to force close the game
