Hello everyone! This week's update just rolled out, and with it came foundational changes preparing us for reward systems that'll be added in the near future. In addition to that, we have new sounds, tablet changes, evidence changes, and a handful of fixes. For the first time we'll also be wiping player inventory and vault data due to the switch over to storing data in the cloud. We know many of you will be bummed to have your items wiped and we apologize. As compensation for starting over, we've added more credits and a bitcoin into starting items.
- Added foundation to support dynamic inventory rewards, xp, and management (imagine top 10% of players every month get a special reward). These systems aren't in yet but this update will make all of this much easier going forward.
- Inventory now stored in cloud instead of local file
- Local inventory is wiped and updated new starting equipment for everyone since wiping
- Lowered chance all around for ghost interaction events to trigger
- Evidence now can be completed alongside investigation, both systems and some other goals will be part of completing in future
- New Case tablet app: displays investigation and evidence status, whether they've been completed or remain incomplete.
- New evidence visuals
- New health monitor visuals (note there are still persistent issues with the health monitor we're looking into)
- New ghost laugh sounds
- New ambient sounds
- New hunt sounds
- New death item pickup sound
- Improved hiding spots in all levels
- Room names are now more specific in clues
- Removed some task spawn points that were causing small items to be unreachable
- Updated steam library icons
- Fixed tablet task glowing in the dark
