We have released a new update for The Backrooms: Survival! This update introduces many new graphical changes tweaking everything from lighting, shadows, some textures, post-processing effects, and more. Some entities have new and improved animations, and there are many more quality-of-life changes.
We have changed the "default" graphical style, however, you can revert back to the old classic style in the settings, or even choose a third optional "darker" graphical style.
Below are two previews of the old and new style (WITHOUT PSX and VHS effects enabled) Old Style:
New Style:
Changes: -Overhauled the default graphical style -Added a second graphical style that can be chosen in the options menu which is "darker" if you want a darker ambiance -Option to choose the old classic style -Improved lighting. Lights such as lamps and bulbs have better general lighting and are actually lit/glow as lights should and are no longer dull -Many entities have completely new and smoother animations -Fixed blueprints not saving in multiplayer bug -The default view for the negative levels has been turned into a completely crazy visual theme that more reflects the player's sight being deluded. You can turn this off back to the original in the settings with a separate setting. (Note that if you are not a new player and are loading an old save file this feature will be off and will need to be enabled first in settings) -You can now block with melee weapons using the "zoom/RMB" button to reduce damage from entity or player attacks. You will have to time it as you can of course not block during an attack etc -Fixed many random "glares" that were present on some scenery textures -Slightly expanded the forest, graveyard, and snow theme view distance -Added a new entity: Mimic. This entity can take the appearance of either a small or big chest, but once you get too close will reveal its true form and attack. If defeated, it drops many items, however. -Added ambient lighting that prevents some walls from being completely black (unlit) -The default PSX effects are now not as dark and hard to see, while still being PSX era -Fixed a bug where killed entities can still sometimes play a sound for new players joining a multiplayer game -Fixed the text for an item you are selling sometimes overlapping off the screen -Fixed a bug where the damage number for the received damage by the player did not reflect buffs -Many other much smaller tweaks such as small visual glitches/typos/etc....
As always, there will be another update soon!
Cheers!

New Update - Crafting System!
Hello
In this update, we have been working on something different, a whole new game mechanic - a crafting system! This will allow you to find crafting blueprints and use materials to craft different items. You can craft items at any time by clicking the "crafting" button on the inventory screen. This will show you all your unlocked blueprints as well as your current materials. Here you'll be able to craft items provided you have the materials
-Added a material bag item that contains a few random materials. Can be found anywhere -Added the blueprint item which spawns anywhere and unlocks a blueprint. It is guaranteed to be a new recipe each time -Unlocked blueprints are permanent and persist between new runs. This is to avoid the hassle of having to unlock them again which would be incredibly tedious, but also now adds another method of progression by unlocking blueprints in your runs -Added a dismantling system allowing you to dismantle some items to obtain materials -Materials are stored separately from normal inventory items as to not take up space -15 material types added -15 crafting blueprints added -Achievement for finding a blueprint -Achievement for finding an item
Now that the basics of the crafting system are finally implemented, we will begin fleshing it out more with more blueprint types, resources, etc.
As always, there will be another update likely sometime next week where we will add more crafting recipes and resources. All players are welcome and encouraged to leave suggestions for new craftables and items.
Cheers!
