**Hideous Patch Update**
A new update for **Hideous** is live, focused on stability, performance, and polish.
This patch improves the save/load system, including loading from the main menu and from inside levels, with better handling of player position, rotation, stats, and defeated enemies.
I also added performance improvements for heavier levels, especially scenes with fog and dense geometry, along with safer occlusion tools for level optimization.
The intro experience has been upgraded with a new cinematic slideshow, new artwork, music, and smoother camera-style zoom motion before the first level begins.
Other fixes include improved projectile behavior, better wall collision handling, cleaner options menu behavior, and general gameplay stability polish.
Enemy deaths have been kept in the original style for now, since it fits the game better and keeps combat feeling consistent.
Thank you to everyone playing, testing, and giving feedback. Hideous keeps getting better because of you.
