Hey all!
Just a quick life update. These past couple of weeks have been a little crazy for me. My partner and I got a little ragdoll kitten, named Bug, he is 10 weeks old and in the past week has had two trips to the emergency vets. He is a trooper and is now living his best life.
Now for the update. There have been some updates to a few things that I hope will bring more atmosphere to the game as well as a few quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes.
- I felt there was something missing with the storm. So, I spent some time trying to make a more realistic storm that can be seen from inside the storm. Keeping the original storm ambiance, I have added a closer thunder and lightning that I feel gives a better sense of the storm. The lightning illuminates the store at random times, so I hope this can assist in visibility or even just create more tense moments.
- Whilst I added the option to retry shift when you died in the last update, none of your inventory would carry across and you would start without a flashlight. I have now updated this, some of the inventory you die with will carry across to your new life.
- I have changed the layout of the changeroom in the women's section, the new layout should minimize getting cornered.
