Hello, Operators! We have prepared some updates for you!
Do not forget that there is a giveaway for your ideas, I will also be glad to hear all your feedback and wishes in our discord.
This time I wanted to add a division into classes into the game, after all, S.P.A.T. is a squad of operatives, each with his own role. While the devices are in test mode, but in general the classes will remain the same.
There are three classes, so online play is now limited to 3 people. Plus it's good for balance, it seems to me that it's too easy to go through the game with four people.
CHANGELOG
NEW
"Searcher"
The main task is to search for quest / paranormal objects, as well as search in general. Without it, you will not be able to complete quests, so one person in the squad should always be searchers.
Specials:
- EMF Detector (For search hidden Object) - For now, the radio tag is a rifle, but it will either have a weapon sensor or a search drone.
Special Skill: - UAV (search alpha monster)
"Supporter"
He is engaged in providing the squad with everything necessary, without it it will be difficult in dark places.
Specials:
- Flood light, reduces sanity. Without light, you will not be able to complete tasks in remote places. - Portable light, scare the enemies. There will be other devices, such as an ultraviolet stationary lamp that damages paranormal enemies.
Special Skill: - UAV Supply drop
"Hunter"
An optional class, you can go through the game together, but hunting helps a lot. Specifically specializes in hunting the alpha monster.
Specials:
- Decoy for alpha monster. Can be recharged. (It will most likely be replaced by a step tracker.) - Radio Tag Rifle.
Special Skill: - not yet known
Flood Light. Can be picked up. Installation costs 7 energy. Reduces the sanity of players in a small radius.
In a single player game, the bot acts as a searcher. It can sometimes bugs, but in general it works.
If you play as a sercher, then the bot performs the function of a support, you can order it to put on the light.
Bot can open doors.
Smooth transition to crouch mode. Not instant.
A badly wounded minion monster may run away from the battlefield (With a probability of 25% if health is below a third).
Tried the new voice model of Replica Studios for Zeus, now she can speak Wikipedia correctly! All Zeus lines redone.
Arranged music at all key locations.
The sound of the raven is quieter.
Widget with a question mark over quest items that have been discovered.
All houses have been redone, performance has been increased and freeze somethimes have disappeared.
GAMEPLAY
You can attack with a melee weapon on the button "V".
The decoy is recharged at the expense of the player's battery charge (Hunter), press reload button. (uses half on player energy).
Added triggers at starting locations when you get close to the EMF detector. Some players do not understand that quest items need to be searched with a detector.
Also, to fix this situation, quest items can be activated by a player of any class, but they are more difficult to find, they are not highlighted.
If you shoot paranormal eyes, they disappear.
Paranormal werewolf minions spawn at over 75 sanity, not 50. And less often.
BUG FIXES
Fixed third person animations for EMF detector.
Fixed third person animations for portable lights.
Fixed entrance doors in the huts and in the mansion.
Fixed rock collisions in the cave on the plinth so that the wendigo minion doesn't get stuck and the bot can climb up.
The Ammo and attachment widget does not disappear when a class is selected.
Rounding sanity values in hood.

Hello, Operators! We have prepared some updates for you!
Do not forget that there is a giveaway for your ideas, I will also be glad to hear all your feedback and wishes in our discord.
CHANGELOG
NEW
Checking out the new sanity mechanic. It decreases if you are in the dark, if you are attacked by monsters or different jump scares come out. Low sanity is dangerous - in addition to just hallucinations, monsters sense it and run to prey.
Be in the light and the sanity will increase, the indicator light on the operator's hand will help you, red - you are in the dark, green - you are in the light.
The battle cry causes an adrenaline rush and can help increase your sanity, but remember that screaming attracts monsters.
Decreased sanity is indicated by a visual glitch and radio interference.
Interactive lights and a light switch that you can turn on to lower your sanity.
The first level of the sanity effect is eyes in the night. At low levels, they are not dangerous, but the lower the sanity, the more likely they are to turn into monsters.
EMF Detector for finding quest things (paranormal things). Detects an object from 20 meters and shows the distance and direction to it.
The idea itself is being tested on quests so far, in the future there will be more and more paranormal objects of different types in different places.
New character menu.
Reduced weapon recoil and changed the aiming animation for better shooting control. Also, when crouch recoil is less.
The bot moves more realistically - walks if close to the player, accelerates if the player is far away.
Now you can order the bot to attack the target.
Also you can command "Follow me' to clear bot target and current command (useful if bot stuck).
Bot lights ahead.
The sun stops shining later at sunset for a more realistic nightfall.
Gamma settings are now saved.
The sound has been reworked, new ambient sounds have been added, as well as a different background sound for day and night.
For orientation, you can put waypoints on the map, just left-click on an open map.

Bunker - reduced the resolution of all textures, also assigned all physical materials (no footsteps were heard and incorrect effects from weapon hit).
Clothes are chosen randomly at the start.
Added armored car (Rhino-2) radio conversations at the start.
Increased weapon firing volume.
GAMEPLAY
Many players complain about the high ammo consumption of small monsters, so the health of all minions is reduced by 5, and the damage is increased by only 0.5 for testing.
Supply drop time 720 --> 660 s.
The player's lantern shines more strongly and does not scatter as much at a distance.
Wendigo and Werewolf run a long distance after an attack.
M1911 damage 8 --> 9
Removed the flashlight on the silver gun. This is an old weapon, obviously it did not have a light on it.
BUG FIXES
On the first attack, the alpha monster runs away after the first hit on the player.
The werewolf after running home does not go into normal mode, but continues to be alert and run fast.
Fixed a bug in a multiplayer game that started several conversations between operators at the same time.
Ammo and things were picked up from afar due to incorrectly configured collisions.
The word map can be opened at the shooting range.
Clip hanging in the air when reloading.
No inspect animation for super guns (grenade launcher, silver gun) on the client.
