Hello everyone!
I'm incredibly excited to release what is probably the biggest update for Jeff the Killer: Horror Game yet! I've been working hard, reading all of your feedback, and trying my best to make the game we all want it to be. This update touches everything—from the story and graphics to the game's stability.
What I've Added
"Jeff's Origin" Mini-Game: It's finally here! I've added a brand-new playable chapter where you can dive into the past and discover the horrific events that turned an ordinary boy into a merciless killer.
Complete Graphical Overhaul: I've put a lot of effort into the visuals. Most textures have been reworked to support up to 4K resolution. I also improved the lighting and added new shaders (like for gasoline puddles) to make the atmosphere even more oppressive.
Sleek New UI: I've updated the user interface with a stylish "frosted glass" effect. It now looks more modern and is less distracting from the gameplay.
New Intro Scenes & Achievements: To make your journey even more memorable, I've added new cinematic intro scenes and, of course, fresh achievements for the most dedicated players!
Fixes & Improvements
I've gone through a mountain of code and squashed a TON of bugs you've reported. No more falling through the floor, broken scripts, or visual glitches! Here’s what I focused on:
Stability & Gameplay: I eliminated critical errors that caused players to get stuck, fixed broken mechanics (like the elevator), and smoothed out object interaction.
Smarter AI: Jeff is smarter now! I've tweaked his logic, and he now reacts correctly to your actions, even when you're hiding.
Visuals & Audio: the infamous pink notes, audio playing on the pause menu, and laggy cutscenes are now a thing of the past.
Localization & Text: I fixed text scaling in flashbacks and added missing voice-overs.
For those who love the details, here is the full changelog: [spoiler]
