Dear students and concerned parents,
Welcome to the latest edition of the Gravewood High PTA Newsletter. The committee has been hard at work and it is time to share all of the new announcements with you.
Since the release of Alpha 2, we have looked over all of the player feedback received. One of the core issues was about how the Teacher's difficulty was, at times, unbalanced. Well, we've fixed that! We have reworked Mr. Hyde's AI to telegraph his behavior and improve the player experience in a manner that is more obvious to the player.
The sound system has also been improved. Everything now sounds more natural and the Teach can no longer hear players through walls. At least in Level 1 ;) You'll still have to be careful when sneaking around - knocking small objects to the ground can make a lot of noise and Mr. Hyde won't let you forget the slightest mistake. And be careful where you walk, the first level hides more secrets than ever.
That's not to say that the audio design is completely against the player as the system itself differs from previous builds. You can now better judge the distance between you and the enemy by simply listening to the sounds around you... This is excellent for both stealth-lovers and noisy hellraisers, as sound can now be used to figure out when and how to run away.
See you soon at the creepy school,
Gravewood High School Board
