Public Beta Testing Invitation for Version 1.0.11

We have been working on quite a big patch to get rid of the problems Panicore has and we would like to invite you to check out the current public beta version 1.0.11! It comes with a lot of changes, especially players having voice chat issues should check this one out. If you want some more action, also check out PAINCORE+, featuring 2 monsters on one map!

To switch to the beta select "beta - Testing new stuff" in Properties->Beta.

Why a beta phase? We are preparing for the release of the new map! A lot has been changed on the technical level of Panicore to make the game more stable and this public beta will decide if Panicore is ready for the new map around next week or if it still needs some time to get ready!

To be more transparent with you about all this: We are trying to become better game developers, still learning how to handle future updates for our games. Deciding what to prioritize and include in a patch, estimating the release of patches, testing them thorougly and releasing them, all these are things we want to do CORRECTLY. Panicore is our second title, but our first to have such a big recognition. We were almost unknown before Panicore's release so this is very exciting and a lot of work at the same time.

All in all, the changes for version 1.0.11 are the following:

Additions:

• Added Voice Chat settings making you hear your own voice so you can set up things more precisely

• Added PAINCORE+ difficulty for more pain (2 monsters at once!)

• Added automatic calibration possibility to avoid your microphone picking up too much noise

• Preparations for content update 1.1 (UPCOMING NEW MAP, Upcoming new achievements)

Changes:

• Kick button now bans the player from the lobby, this is mainly a step against hackers stepping into your lobby

• Voice Chat and its settings have been fully reworked (I really need therapy now), in our tests people having problems with Voice Chat earlier had functional ones in this version

• Files have a slight glow now to make them more visible

• Dancing has footstep sounds now (sounds funny ngl)

• Changed Monster hitboxes for bricks to be more precise

• Input device can now be changed during runtime

• On PAINCORE and PAINCORE+ difficulty, hospital monster's lights are off now

• Adding fuel to escape routes has a sound effect now

• Dropped items have sounds now

• Microphone selection also affects AI Voice recognition if proximity voice chat is in use

• AI Voice recognition bar visuals are more accurate to how the AI perceives your voice now

Bugfixes:
