Hello everyone! :3

Today’s post is a bit of a hybrid between a general update and a technical devlog — because the game is changing completely. Let’s dive into the details! 💻✨

✅ What’s New (Already Implemented)

This update introduces a full rework of core systems and gameplay flow:

• 🎮 First-Person Perspective:
  I’ve fully transitioned the game into a first-person view, aiming for better immersion and a stronger horror atmosphere.

• 📋 Task-Based Survival System:
  Instead of wandering aimlessly, you’ll now have tasks to complete while trying to survive.

• 🧱 Hiding System (Lockers):
  Lockers are now interactive objects: when the entity approaches, you must hide.
  ⚡ One hit = instant death, so stay alert!

• 🗺️ New Locations and Editor Progress:
  I’ve started creating and implementing new areas designed around the new gameplay — expect tight corridors, dead ends, and chokepoints.

🔧 What’s Being Developed (Next Phase)

Currently working on polishing and expanding the systems:

• 🛠️ Animation Improvements:
  New animations for hiding, task interactions, and movement transitions.

• 🎛️ Advanced Audio Design:
  Implementing positional audio so you can hear the enemy approaching — not just see it.

• 🔧 Interaction System Refinements:
  Improving the way you interact with objects under time pressure.

• 📈 Dynamic Difficulty:
  Adjusting monster behavior and aggression based on how many tasks you’ve completed.

🌟 Planned Future Updates

Several major systems are planned for upcoming versions:

• 💾 Basic Inventory System:
  Letting you collect and use survival items during missions.

• 🤖 Enhanced AI Behaviors:
  Smarter enemies that react to sounds, movement, and hiding spots.

• 🎲 Procedural Content:
  Early experiments with randomized task locations and dynamic spawn points to boost replay value.

• 📖 Narrative Layer:
  Adding a storyline revealed through exploration and task completion.

🧪 Alpha Testers Wanted!

I’m currently looking for early testers to help shape the new gameplay direction! 🚀
