Persistent Settings Hotfix
This fixes the bug that would reset custom settings to default whenever starting a new save file or loading a different saved game. This had me scratching my head for months. It turns out it was a game variable initialization script that was treating saved game data as though it
This fixes the bug that would reset custom settings to default whenever starting a new save file or loading a different saved game.
This had me scratching my head for months.
It turns out it was a game variable initialization script that was treating saved game data as though it were unique per saved file.
Glad to put this one behind me and allow you keep the settings you prefer.
The following changes have been made to Transliminal: Beyond The Backrooms v0.0.98648a:
Additions

Collect the Document “Regarding Mother” hidden in collected Baby Doll torso
Screen reflection in DVD Menu New Game Intro
Sometimes hold music will play when answering phones
Tweaks & Fixes

Finally fixed the issue where data initialization script was causing custom settings to be overwritten to defaults when creating a new saved game or loading a different saved game. Now you can save your settings with confidence!
Defeating a Smiler no longer grants +1 Maximum Sanity every time. The first defeat still grants +1, but each subsequent Maximum Sanity increase from Smilers requires one additional defeat than the last.
Fixed issue with random instantiation script that would not instantiate prefabs if the list did not loop. This was stopping several game elements from appearing.
Changed Mother Doll mechanics. 64 dolls must be defeated and the assembled doll must also be burned for Mother’s Fingers to be vulnerable in the Castle.
Baby Doll counter now tracks how many Dolls have been defeated and only appears when a Doll is defeated.
Dolls can no longer deal damage after they have been phased
Increased the number of times Victor warns about Energy before he passes out and warps to another area.
When the PlayerController is Disabled it now stops all motion and velocity values.
Crouching and standing is no longer instant and now has a fast but smooth transition.
Fixed script value that was preventing Ceiling Smilers from spawning
Fixed issue that was preventing Victor from commenting on the level
Better and more frequent placement of clipped objects in Level 0 walls
More even volume on step sound effects
Okay. Lot's of new & exciting stuff coming down the pipe that I think you're really going to enjoy.
Until then,
get lost!

Missing Tapes Hotfix
So, if you’ve played the game recently you may have noticed that when you fell through the Cogwell Matrix it would delete all of your tapes. Some thought that this bug was related to collecting the Pocket Radio because that didn’t break if you fell. But it actually had nothing to
So, if you’ve played the game recently you may have noticed that when you fell through the Cogwell Matrix it would delete all of your tapes. Some thought that this bug was related to collecting the Pocket Radio because that didn’t break if you fell. But it actually had nothing to do with the new radio.
When I updated to the more performant tape player method with filters I also added some safeguards to the code that limited the tape count data. But I neglected to update the new tape script in the “Falling” scene which made everyone's tapes equal to -1 effectively erasing all tapes they had collected.
The good news is that I have corrected this and it won’t happen again.
The bad news is that, if your game was affected, you are going to have to recollect all tapes beyond the 1st one again. I couldn’t be more sorry about that. I know it’s a pain. But at least I was able to put in code that restored some tapes to a positive number.
I try to do the right thing and put safeguards on my code. But sometimes I break stuff. Growing pains as the game continues to expand in features and content.
As a consolation please also enjoy the new Lighters entities and the new intro menu and control tweaks.
Here’s the full list of what’s changed:
Additions
‘Lighter’ entities
New game begins with a menu instead of immediately beginning Skydive sequence
No Clipped furniture embedded in Level 0 walls
Added the option to reset all custom input bindings to default settings in the Control Menu
Tweaks & Fixes
Fixed bug where falling through the Cogwell Matrix would set collected tapes to -1 effectively removing all tapes from inventory and locking out progress
Patched version checker to change Tape amount to 1 if Walkman has been collected and tapes are below 0 to patch affected saves.
Added secondary character trigger to detect grounded state more accurately
Jump height is now determined by how long the jump input is held
Movement velocity is now conserved when jumping
Victor will no longer say reactions to crazy things when threats are near.
Victor will no longer repeat reactions to crazy things until the main scene loads again
Fixed compass spin speed to be more obvious when it isn’t working
Fixed instances where some carpet pits had no validation to remove overlapping stairs
Moved some lower pit edge walls down to prevent z fighting
The title screen will load if saved games exist even if the most recent save is a new game.
Removed Phase emitter’s idle whine loop
Increased bloom intensity
Less janky camera pickup during new game
Smilers will disappear when looking away less often
Fixed issue where every time the main scene loaded the player would lose control temporarily after a few seconds
Radial menu now works with rebound inputs
Removed settings script that would change settings to defaults on load
Fixed issue where Victor would not declare Mother’s Vulnerability when All Dolls are destroyed
Fixed issue where Glitchnade wouldn’t go off on wood surfaces
Door knocks get more frequent and more jarring the lower Sanity is
Colliders on cloud wall doors on playground edges are now disabled when the door opens to prevent players being knocked off of the platform
Fixed missing collider section inside Mother’s Castle that would allow falling out of the map
Mother’s Castle’s area triggers will now adjust camera background color and far clip distance
Level title now shows properly when entering Pools from spiral staircase
Level title now shows properly when entering Blacktops from Hotel Exit Doors
Vending machines can be used by just pushing the desired product button and it will subtract the correct amount of coins without having to insert 3 coins one at a time.
Collecting Almond Water, Energy Drinks, Batteries & Coins will only show a full page description of the item if it’s your first time collecting it. And won’t continue to pop up every time an item increases from 0 as it did before.
Optimization Efforts
Added LODs to some Hotel props
Made new contained voice reaction script that sends all voice reactions to one source and handles protagonist subtitles
Removed vestigial legacy scripts from the falling scene that were throwing errors and causing a major bug
This is more of a hotfix than an actual large full update.
As always, I appreciate everyone’s patience, support and continued interest in this huge project.
The next big official update will have a ton of new content and new things to do and experience in these backrooms.

Until then,

Increased default Head Bob Run intensity
Added a Head Bob Intensity slider to the Gameplay menu

Fixed bug that would not restore control when respawning after death
Fixed bug where dehydration would not activate collapse when health reached 0
Fixed issue where player control would enable when clicking consume button and interrupt death sequence

Running is no longer possible when in water
Added a notification message when falling asleep after suffering from exhaustion too many times.
Optimization Efforts
Freed up memory by reworking the tape system to stream audio to a single audio source.
Some of these bugs had me scratching my head. But I finally got to the bottom of them.

Enjoy!

Still cooking up some more liminal goodness.
Can't wait to show it off,

So the next few updates will be focused on delivering more Levels, entities and story events. Introducing colorful character's and terrifying situations.
Stay tuned.

As always, there's so much more I have to show you in my Backrooms.

See you in the void wanderers,

Transliminal Engine Update & Performance Patch
This patches the vulnerabilities that were announced by Unity. It also changes the way the game generates its world components to more optimized practices. This should reduce lag and stuttering across all system configurations.
Additions

Offices can have a new exterior during “Daytime”
More objects added to Level 3 Electrics
More Junglegym colors
Missing Persons Flyers
Added barriers around the bottom sections of some Level 0 floors
Tweaks & Fixes

Wide filing cabinets in Office Edge blocks no longer spawn duplicates
Changed colors of some LOD materials to better represent their main objects
Raised bounds of some walls where lens flares could be seen through
Skydiving intro ground has smoother transition to lower resolution segments
Restored wind animation to 2nd chute handle in Skydive intro
Fixed some textures that were assigned improperly
Added flares to some lights
Fixed some doors that were unable to be closed in Electrics
Fixed unassigned texture on Nightstands and bookshelves
Fixed level 0 world block that would sometimes spawn 2 ceiling over one another
More dynamic Depth Of Field
Step SFX has better surface tracking
Elevators open doors when pressing a floor it’s currently on
Refined level 0 stair validation
Created a new shader for transparent stains
Fixed some wall colliders that were disabled in a Level 0 block
Spore Clouds now stop growing when they hit walls
Weather systems and styles are dynamic in Offices.
Weather scripts no longer select the same weather twice resulting in more frequent weather changes.
Optimization Efforts

Game engine updated to patched version to eliminate announced vulnerabilities.
*Note: I attempted to upgrade and reimport to the latest engine version. There were massive issues with performance after the upgrade that I didn’t notice until I had already put a few days of development in. I was forced to revert to a previously backed up build of the game that was made before the engine upgrade attempt. I was still able to use the new assets I had created and the new scripts that I had written. But I had to reimplement them again. So some of these things I had to do twice. And the second time I think I did a better job. And found some new ways to better optimize the game in the process. Just FYI.

All error and warning messages have now been eliminated where viable
Root Objects such as world blocks and other objects with colliders no longer scale to negative transform numbers. This was causing massive amounts of error messages and overwhelming logs and causing performance stutter.
Reworked several scripts to have better null checking and validation
Changed some lights to use hard shadows where it made sense to do so
Reduced sampling of soft shadows
Reduced shadow distance on Quality graphic setting
Consolidated numerous active scripts responsible for random generation into a single manager script. This eliminated hundreds of active scripts that no longer have to be processed. This should reduce lag and stutter.
Converted all spawning scripts to use a frame buffer that limits the amount of object spawns per frame. This should help to reduce stutter and lag spikes.
Okay. So the game is rebuilt in the new engine. And the stability, performance, and features are better than ever.
Now I can focus on adding bigger stuff, like new levels and characters.
Thanks again to everyone who continues to support the development of Transliminal.
As always, There's a lot more to come.
See you in there, Wanderer.

It's spooky season. And with that comes a new Transliminal update that adds a seasonal Easter egg.

Then I recommend joining the Spatial Quotient Patreon.
Where you can become an Alpha Tester, or just support the project.
Thanks to everyone who has played.
You have made Transliminal possible!
Lots more to come.
See you in the void.

I've been absolutely gutted by how badly the game runs on some systems.
This is an incremental attempt to make Transliminal run smoother across different PC Configurations. And also to give players more graphical options for water. In my testing I was able to exponentially improve framerates and stability in The Pools by reducing the new Water Quality settings.
Also some more little improvements here and there. There's a Control screen that shows all the buttons now too. Also, you can interact with things while holding the Emitter now. But now you have to aim before firing it.
Anyways,

New textures for some assets that had placeholder materials.
More sound effects.
Tweaks & Fixes

Players can now Interact when the Emitter is equipped but not when aiming.
The Emitter now aligns with the center dot option when aimed.
Unused procedural prefab spawners now destroy themselves when null.

Fixed some stairs that destroyed themselves when you walked on them due to improper validation tags.
Sanity system tutorial stays on the screen longer unless players press interact.
Water trigger from shower is no longer solid.
Fixed issue where speed would be slower after an energy drink wore off.
Smilers are faster
Drained Pool water in Pools Scale Puzzle now disables after fully draining.
