(Spooky city snippet above)

Rat Sim Update When?
Hey everyone I'd like to address some concerns and update you all as to what's been happening over the last few months as we've been quiet for awhile now, first things first no we're not dead and neither is Rat Sim, we've been working hard behind the scenes on lots of new content, the main reason nothing has been released publicly recently is due to a file error a few months ago that resulted in the corruption of our city level, and until we get another one made we can't release any updates, we had hired a contractor to work on a new city level while the rest of the team focused on other side projects to bring in funds but unfortunately said contractor left on short notice to pursue other opportunities, so until we find another level designer to make a new city level (without causing the company to go bankrupt since good ones aren't cheap) any currently planned updates will be on hold for the time being.

Hotfix
Fixed fatal errors
Fixed pause menu resume
Fixed VR kit bug
Fixed T-posing AI
Fixed AI dying when walking into rat
Fixed loading screen black screen issue
Added proper game Icon
Added bootup splash

Fixed some other smaller stuff too that I forgot to write down ,_,

Winter Update
Hello everyone we have good news, the Winter Update is out and ready to be played, we have made a lot of progress since our initial release back in Nov. and a lot of changes have been made to improve the game, some of these changes are listed below, although not all as there are way to many to list due to backend changes.

  1. Brand New Map - Bigger more complex city with a ton of secrets to discover, not everything is as it seems.
  2. New Traffic System - Improved path finding, smoother driving/turning, and better player interactions/reactions.
  3. New AI system for pedestrians - Better path finding, higher quality animations, and improved reactions with the player.
  4. Dynamically spawned pickups - This way everything isn't in the same place every time.
  5. New Player Controller - New rat player controller with new model and better animations, smoother less clunky movement, and just overall goodness for better gameplay.
  6. Reworked main menu - Both the menu itself and the background scene.
  7. Rebuilt the way modifiers work - Such as speed and growing in size.
  8. Implemented HLODs - For over all improved performance.
  9. Added a real pause menu - It actually works now, sorry about that.

And much more

This is the first part of our major overhaul for the game, the 2nd part will be coming sometime later this year with more changes and improvements to come,
