The Backrooms: Survival news & patch notes

Changes: -Chance of "giant entities". A small chance that an entity can be much more bigger, aggressive, and stronger, but drops more items.

-Fixed voice chat not working -many core game scripts have been updated and changed to fix general bugs hence upload size of the patch being big. We are in the process of overhauling much of the old code.

Quick emergency fix to fix major bugs. -Fixed an item dupe exploit where dropping one item drops the whole stack but only reduces one -Fixed firing blunderbuss resulting in muzzleflash never disappearing -Fixed vendor spawn chance incredibly low

Now when you die in multiplayer adventure you have the countdown to be revived else you respawn or give up as normal -Added native PS4/PS5 controller support keybindings -Fixed bug preventing you from assigning the same button to the same key.

Hello. We have released an update implementing controller support, adding new QoL, and fixing many bugs. Our Nintendo Switch port is finished and we are just waiting on some stuff that is out of our hands before it is released, however, hopefully, it isn't too long. The update size is relatively large due to the fact that we overhauled a lot of core systems and fixed up a lot of bugs that have been present for a while. Many systems were recoded from the ground up. -Added controller support. Controls can be rebinded for the controller and PC individually. The game can be played completely from start to finish with the controller. -Fixed "Look at me" entities (gargoyles etc) still moving in multiplayer when some other players are looking (they shouldn't be moving) -Added a new inventory function "Move". Mainly for gamepad users. Once selected, you can select another inventory slot to move the item to. -Fixed survival guide still showing even when selecting the "don't show again" -Got rid of the text at the top corner of the inventory screen that shows inventory controls and replaced it with a "help" button which shows said information -Huge optimization improvements. Completely changed the way the game loads assets into memory optimizing that assets that are not needed are not held in memory, which should lower the game's RAM usage significantly. -Text chat starts removing old messages. After 100 messages the oldest one is always deleted after a new one is sent. Prevents clogged chat. -Completely changed the networking/multiplayer system which should reduce many multiplayer bugs that were present previously. -Completely changed the input system and rebinding controls menu. The rebinding system is completely new so you will need to rebind your controls as they will not be saved from the old system -Fixed settings not saving sometimes -When you start up the game, previously there was a few seconds pause while the game loads. Now the game starts instantly and shows a loading screen in place of the "not responding" load-up -Fixed bug where vendor/NPC interaction showed up under auto-pickup. i.e ("Pick up: talk") -Fixed taking fire damage in multiplayer -Added loading screen backgrounds -changed lava to do damage and set burn for a long time instead of insta kill -Fixed bug where mimics can instantly appear without being near the chest -Fixed vendors spawning in walls -Fixed vendors not facing the campfire -Fixed vending machines spawning in each other -Rebalanced the amount of vending machines and vendors that spawn on safe levels -Fixed a rare bug where you can be placed instantly on a ladder when going up -Fixed sound volume sliders not changing volume consistently. Previously, the volume would be completely silent around 60% on the slider. Now it works smoothly from 0-100 on the volume slider. -Prevent your own hair model from clipping your view -A preview of the currently selected skin model is shown on the char customize screen -Choosing your skin is done with left and right buttons now instead of a dropdown -We decided to remove the "examine feature" where you pressed "Q" and have a close-up view of the item on the ground for two reasons. Mainly because the feature was just tied to way too many bugs from the start of the game, and secondly it has no real use or mechanic whatsoever other than slightly enlarging the preview of the model on the ground. IMO, it isn't worth fixing the many, many game-breaking bugs tied to this feature when the feature does nothing anyway -Completely changed the text chat system and fixed many bugs with it. -Fixed a bug where melee weapons have strangely long ranges -a load screen is displayed when first starting the game and not just a white screen flash Cheers

Hello! We have released another content update featuring the usual bug fixes, changes and more. However, we have also introduced a new gameplay mechanic that will make it easier for you to acquire resources. Mining system - As acquiring some materials can be hard, we have added one of a few planned new mechanics that will help to acquire some materials. You will now be able to find ore deposits that can be mined to acquire those materials. Different levels have different ore deposits that can spawn and the frequency in which they do. You will need to find, craft, or buy a pickaxe to mine. Then you can mine the deposits, acquire that material, and eventually break the deposit and acquire a large amount of that material. This also adds some more uniqueness to levels. This should make acquiring some materials not as rare or completely luck-based. We will add more resources in the future. Stone Pickaxe Iron Pickaxe Steel Pickaxe Crystal Pickaxe Stone Pickaxe Iron Pickaxe Steel Pickaxe Crystal Pickaxe Stone Bone Iron Crystal Steel (we know steel is not mined IRL and that it is made from iron, but as steel is a useful crafting material in game we added it as a mineable resource... besides, stranger things happen in the backrooms) Lead Dirt rooms - Ore spawn rate: high. Ore type: stone, iron, lead Torture rooms Ore spawn rate: medium. Ore type: Bone Greek Level - Ore spawn rate: Medium. Ore type: stone Pipe Dreams - Ore spawn rate: medium. Ore Types: steel, iron Sewer - Ore spawn rate: Low. Ore Types: lead, steel, iron Forest- ore spawn rate: medium-high. Ore types: stone, iron, lead Snow level - ore spawn rate: medium-high. Ore types: stone, iron, lead, crystal Fire Level - ore spawn rate: high. Ore types: steel, stone, iron Graveyard - ore spawn rate: medium. Ore types: stone Pyramid - ore spawn rate: medium. Ore types: stone, lead Crystal Caves - ore spawn rate: very high. Ore types: crystal, stone, steel -Achievement for ore breaking an ore deposit -new profession, miner. Starts with pickaxe and yields a slightly higher to chance to get ore from mining. (note that as the pickaxe is technically a "weapon", to balance you starting with this, it will be at half durability, and does incredibly weak damage, and have no affinity. Choosing this class to try and start with a weapon would be not useful as this weapon non-upgraded with half durability wouldn't be able to kill the weakest entity) -.308 ammo max capacity changed to 50 -fixed long-range hitboxes on some weapons -normal facelings can sell pickaxe -firearms with the "heavy" affinity are slower to reload -dismantle shotgun shells -fixed invisible water droplets -made healthbar graphic less blurry -fixed clicking in menus turning the flashlight on or off -fixed using warpstone from the inventory would make the player unable to move until you pause/unpause -show mine rate of pickaxes on craft/item description -Fixed presents not spawning in snow level / level fun -Fixed burned corpse not spawning -Increased blueprint spawn rate -added skeleton corpses -added shotgun blueprint -fixed a weapon dupe glitch

Hello! We've released another game update! -Some weapons are now capable of inflicting status effects on entities. For example, some weapons can have a chance to inflict status conditions such as bleed, etc onto entities. These effects are shown on the weapon info. -Status Effect for entities: Bleed - same as the player's bleed status effect. inflicts damage over time to the entity. -Status Effect for entities: Poison - same as player. Inflicts poison over damage over time. No weapon has this by default weapons are enhanced with the poison kit get it. (We will add more entity status effects in the next update) -gave some old weapons bleed -Updated weapons hit ranges so longer weapons have longer reaches and vice versa -Weapon enchant (fire, poison, etc) is shown in the name "i.e Fire Axe" and if you have an affinity it is shown before that "i.e Heavy Fire Axe" -Hunters Katana -Crystal Dagger -Scythe -dismantle ammo (makes it easier to obtain gunpowder) -New material: Crystal -Nerfed sewers - now not as big and tedious and easy to get lost -arms vendor sells scythe, crystal dagger -Updated loading screen tips with new ones to reflect changes -Blood particle visual effect (NOT the new status) when hitting entity will only appear if the damage is above 5 (prevents broken weapons that deal tiny damage and status effects creating blood pools) -fixed multiplayer entity throw animation not playing for other players sometimes (visual bug only) -water/blood droplets colliding with the player -nailbox ammo increased to 20 from 15 as the item shows "x20" on the box model but previously gave 15 -first aid pack voice playing a male-sounding voice even if you select a female voice -Fixed some typos -Fix crafted weapons not having a chance to get special affinities -scythe blueprint -Crystal dagger blueprint -craft air pellet ammo blueprint Crystal Golem Crystal gargoyle Some enemies now have chances to drop certain specific items. Scythe clown has a 10% chance of dropping scythe Kid entities have 25% chance to dropped stuffed toy Doctors have 15% chance to drop medkits Fire Golem has a 5% chance to drop fire enhancement kit Mimic has a 100% chance to drop between 1-3 big material bags Mummy has a 50% chance to drop 1-2 bandages Yeti has a 5% chance of dropping frost kit Tormentor has a 3% chance to drop a fire kit The Poisoned has a 5% chance of dropping venom kit Sewer Monster has a 2% chance to drop metal chest plate, 4% repair kit, 2% upgrade kit Anubis has a 1% chance each to drop warp, ascension or descension crystals Hound has a 25% chance to drop a whistle, a 15% chance to drop bone club The Reaper has a 20% chance to drop amphetamine salts, 25% for cigarettes Crystal golem has a 12.5% chance to drop crystal dagger Deathmoth has a 25% chance of dropping venom kit As always, feel free to leave any game suggestions and bug reports for future updates either here on on our discord!

Hello, Another quick patch to fix some bugs reported yesterday: -Fixed footsteps not playing sometimes -Fixed player body clipping through camera view on some skins/animations -Fixed slight hit delay on melee weapons (you may still see what appears to be a "delay" compared to the old system, but it's not. The old system would register an attack as soon as you press the attack key, before the weapon even connects with an entity, which shouldn't be. Now it registers when the weapon actually connects) -Fixed bug where electrician flashlight starts empty -Fixed a bug where the ladder in the new level can spawn out of reach -Fixed a bug where the ladder in the new level does not have the "roof" removed so the ladder goes into the ceiling (visual bug) Cheers

Hello We've just released a new content update adding a brand new level, a complete overhaul for the weapon item system, several new achievements, and some more bug fixes. -Added a brand new level theme -Every weapon now has its own crit rate chance -Every weapon now has its own crit multiplier. -Every weapon stamina swing cost is different. The heavier the weapon, the more stamina it costs to swing. -Every weapon now has its own stun chance, which decides whether entities are stunned on hit. Heavier weapons generally have higher stun, at the expense of stamina cost/speed. -Every melee weapon has its own block absorption rate (amount of damage reduced when blocking). -Show crit chance, multiplier, block rate, stun chance and stamina cost on weapon info -Every weapon found or crafted has a chance to have a special affinity: Heavy, Critical, Rare, Special, Legendary. These types give bonus effects Heavy: a lot more damage, more stamina cost Critical: increases critical hit chance and crit damage multiplier Rare: slight boosts to damage, crit chance, and crit damage multiplier Special: decent boosts to damage, crit chance, and crit damage multiplier Legendary: Good boosts to damage, crit chance, and crit damage multiplier ???: A special, mythical, very, VERY rare affinity. Will you ever find it? Does it even exist? What will it do? Who knows. -Weapons with these added types have special colored inventory/hotkey icon backgrounds and have the prefix added to their name i.e "Legendary Axe" New Achievements: -Added an achievement for obtaining a heavy weapon -Added an achievement for obtaining a critical weapon -Added an achievement for obtaining a rare weapon -Added an achievement for obtaining a special weapon -Added an achievement for obtaining a legendary weapon -Added an achievement for finding the new level -Inventory screen GUI layout changed to accommodate new weapon settings etc -Increased starting inventory slots to 18 (24 with backpack). The reason is since so many new items have been added, 12 slots aren't very much to accommodate what you will pick up, so a few more should balance it without removing the inventory management aspect -Fixed a bug where sometimes the damage done to entities does not sync in multiplier, i.e if you and a friend are attacking an entity, the health damage would previously not adjust for between players sometimes. -show on the blueprint the weapons' new stats -Updated player movement animations with much smoother ones -Fixed harbor ladder length visual bug Cheers!

Hello, Just a quick update to fix some multiplayer lobby bugs. Some of the bugs have been present for a while but only recently detected/reported. Fixed some multiplayer lobby bugs: -Fixed a big bug where sometimes active online games were not appearing in online lobbies (or only one at a time) -Fixed a bug where empty online games (one that all players leave) can still be shown in the lobby -Fixed a lobby bug preventing you from joining some games with the error message it is full -Fixed a bug where the lobby rooms are not updating in real time, for example, you see a room in the lobby and if a new player joins it the current players in that room would not update for you unless you left and manually refreshed Also, -Slight GUI changes to multiplayer layout Cheers

Hello, We have released another update adding some quality-of-life changes and bug fixes. We also have an announcement about The Backrooms: Survival and our future. The Backrooms: Survival launched just over two years ago as a solo project. As a solo developer, I put a lot of work in the game to bring many updates through the early access phase (I've lost count how many), and a majority of this was done alone. Fortunately, I have now hired some other devs to assist in the development of all our games and future projects, which ultimately means the workload is shared and more updates and content overall. That brings me to the next announcement. This year we are looking to port The Backrooms: Survival to console platforms. Cross-platform multiplayer will be enabled so all console players will be able to play with existing Steam players. We are starting with Nintendo Switch who have approved us, so it is simply a matter of starting development to port the game to Switch which will start next week and hopefully be released in May/June. After we release it on Switch, we will look at other console platforms. And now the announcement about today's update. We are focusing on stamping out all bugs, and improving general QoL and tweaks, and today's update starts in that direction. Changes: -When dropping multiple items, they are dropped into a single sack instead and can be picked up instantly. Previously, if you dropped 30 nails, for example, 30 nails would spawn leading to clutter and general hassle. It is now much more convenient. -Fixed bug where the tactical vest appeared above the hound player -Fixed a bug where text from an auto pickup can persist in the main menu -Fixed a bug where pressing escape on the multiplayer panel shows the game HUD and soft locks -Fixed wrong item names on auto-pickup -Improved voice chat quality -Added a button to cancel when attempting to connect to a server, as previously if there was an issue connecting it would try infinitely meaning the only way out was to ALT+F4 -Fixed a bug where the obituary was not recording new entries -Side pickup notifications for items show the correct name and also the amount -Fixed examine text showing the wrong name -Added a health and armor bar Melee Combat Changes: -Broken melee weapons can still be used but will always do between 1-4 damage despite any buffs or upgrade level until repaired -Improved the hitboxes of melee weapon swings. before it was cursor/mouse-based, now the actual weapon also had a hitbox -When trying to swing a melee weapon when out of stamina, the "not enough stamina" message would spam creating 100s. Now it is limited to one a few minutes -When swinging a melee weapon, instead of the same single-direction animation, the weapon is swung at a random angle each time and the opposite direction on the second combo hits = more realistic/immersive. As always, another update will come soon, and keep an eye out for any console and other development news. Cheers

Hello, We are pleased to announce we have released a new update.

Hello, We've released another quick patch fixing a few reported bugs: -Fixed the console command for spawning random entities not working. (Use id 999 instead of -1 to spawn a random entity) -Prevented hunger and thirst depleting in God mode -Fixed a bug that prevented dubious liquid from increasing maximum health -You can now press the enter key (or whichever key you choose to map) to execute console commands without clicking the button -"purge all items" command now purges backcoin and material sacks -Prevented a bug that could cause death sometimes in God mode -Prevent auto pick up while pause/inventory menu is open -the current version number of the game is shown in the top left of the main menu Again, this was just a quick patch to fix a few reported issues.

Hello, Firstly, apologies for the delay in the next update, we have secretly been working on the BIGGEST update yet! We are pleased to announce that after over a year and a half since the early access release and over 50+ updates in this time, we have finally released version 1.0 of The Backrooms: Survival! Version 1.0 comes to you with a massive update featuring entirely new mechanics, game modes, graphical changes, items, and a LOT more. Read below to find out everything that has changed! Also, version 1.0 does NOT mean that the game will not receive any more updates. Working on The Backrooms: Survival and watching the community grow has been a fantastic experience, so there are no plans to stop updating it as of now. There are still more updates and other plans for the future (next one already planned for next month!), such as porting the game to other platforms, seasonal updates, any random updates/patches, VR, etc. Version 1.0 simply means that with the massive amount of updates we have released and this mega update, all the content added and new mechanics since the original early access launch, we feel the game has come far enough and fulfilled all that was originally set out to be completed back from March 2023 to simply no longer be considered early access. Below is the list of changes in this new mega update. WARNING: There is quite a lot of content added to this update, and if you are an old player the new changes may make the game feel almost like a new game, so if you don't want spoilers and want to just go in blind, ignore below and launch the game and see what awaits you! Because there is quite a lot of stuff added, we will split it into categories (new items, weapons, blueprints, etc.) instead of just all together like a normal update. Read below for all the new changes:

CHANGELOG:

New Game Modes:

Four game modes have been introduced. Now, when you start a new single or multiplayer game, you can choose one of four game modes that affect the style of play. -Classic (Permadeath mode): The original Backrooms: Survival experience. One life, one chance. Die, and your progress and save file for this run are gone! -Adventure Mode - Explore the backrooms without permadeath. Instead, the death penalty will see you lose random items and money and respawn a few random floors back, unless you choose to give up and accept the death -Sandbox Mode - Sandbox mode gives you access to a whole list of console commands to do everything from spawning entities, items, god mode, messing around with things such as run speed, other player parameters, etc. A full list of console commands is available on the game's personal wiki. Steam achievements are disabled in sandbox mode for obvious reasons. No permadeath. -Explore Mode - Think of it as a "peaceful" mode. No entities spawn, so if you just want to explore levels without fear of a monster jumping out, this is it. No permadeath. -Classic and Adventure mode have their own leaderboards for each category (highest floor, lowest, etc.). Sandbox and Explore do not have leaderboards. -Multiplayer rooms created for explore and sandbox are invite-only and thus do not appear in the global public lobby, as these are modes you typically would mess around in with friends. -New save system: You can now save and load multiple different runs at once. When starting a new game, it will be saved to a new slot. You can then load any of these save files at a time, so for example, you can have multiple save files for each of the game modes. Unlocked blueprints persist across all saved files. Permadeath save files are automatically deleted upon death. -Console commands for Sandbox mode: -SPAWN ENTITY - spawn entity in front by id -SPAWN ENTITY RANDOM POSITION - Spawn entity random position on level -(spawn a random entity by setting ID as -1 -SPAWN ITEM - Spawn item by ID in front of the player -UP FLOOR - Go up 1 floor -DOWN FLOOR - Go down 1 floor -TOGGLE GMODE - toggle god mode -SET STATUS - Set status on the player for 60 seconds by ID -SET STATUS MAX - Set status by ID for its maximum time -RUN SPEED - Set player run speed -WALK SPEED - set the player's walk speed -JUMP HEIGHT - Set player jump height -SET HUNGER - Set player hunger -SET THIRST - Set player thirst -SET SANITY - Set player sanity -SET MONEY - Set player back coins -ADD ITEM - adds item directly to inventory by ID -ADD MATERIAL - adds 100 of material by ID -SET MAX MATERIAL - Sets 9999 of every material -GIGACHAD - ??? -PURGE ENTITY - removes all entities of that ID -PURGE ENTITY ALL - removes every entity -PURGE ITEM - removes an item of that ID -PURGE ITEM ALL - removes every item

Misc Changes:

-Entities now have stamina. This means they will be unable to endlessly chase you. Instead, they will fatigue just like you and will have to walk for a few seconds until their stamina recovers allowing them to run again. Bigger entities generally have less stamina than smaller ones and creature-type entities -Blocking with a melee weapon is now more effective. Previously damage was reduced by 50%, now it is reduced by 70% -Weapon stats such as damage are shown when selecting a blueprint to craft -Armor stats are shown when selecting an armor blueprint -new weapon enhancement effect: Poison. Add poison damage to your weapon -A settings option to disable the HUD. Useful for taking screenshots and just for messing around -Critical hits: there is a small chance to deal a critical hit against entities with both melee and ranged weapons, dealing twice the damage. (the damage number will show "critical") -Headshots: Striking entity heads with melee weapons or ranged deal a headshot and deal extra damage. The damage number will show "headshot" -New pickup system: You can now pick up items just by standing over them and pressing the pickup button, whereas previously you had to select each item with the cursor/crosshair. This makes it significantly easier to pick up smaller items, items you may miss (as if you walk over them the prompt appears), or lots of items at once (i.e. enemy loots). You can still use the crosshair to pickup manually or specific items, so for example, if you are standing on an apple but look at a banana, you will pick that up instead of the apple, so the crosshair is primary while the new pick up is secondary. -Text chat overhaul: Text chat now has a dedicated window where all sent chat messages are displayed, as opposed to the old system where text chat appeared over the player's head. It is now possible to scroll through old messages also. When the text chat is closed, if a message is sent by another player you will receive a small notification on the corner of the screen alerting you of new unread messages. -The current level you are on is now moved to be under the hotkey bar and is hidden when inventory is open -The maximum number of players for an online game is increased from 6 to 14. While a high number, it is useful if you want to create a large room with lots of friends for chaos -Loading screens have been added during level transitions. A random tip is shown on each loading screen. Players will need to press a key to proceed when the level is finished loading. -The current game most is shown in the bottom left corner of the inventory -Added a playable "Hound" skin character -The Obituary records are spaced out and in a darker font so easier to read. The game mode is also shown for that run -The "time survived" stat pauses while you are incapacitated/dead. -Added a main menu button linking to the wiki -Main menu GUI overhaul -new level 0 wall texture -changed the look of the "drunk effect" to be more of a drunken blur than a white fade -New Pause menu GUI -disable background UI while the pause is open -Dead entity corpses will despawn after 30 seconds. This is to reduce clutter, lag, and corpses piling up blocking passageways rendering some players stuck or trapped. -Durability for weapons/tools is shown on hotkey bars also -When highlighting an item on the ground with the crosshair, its name will now be shown above the use and examine buttons. (This was previously the case for weapons only, now it is for all items). -A chance for the default backrooms theme (level 0 ) to be more open and wide similar to the original OR the standard backrooms survival narrow corridors -Headshot kills on entities will decapitate their head clean off with bloody effects also -Changed some pistol reload animations (i.e. flintlock) -Improved the torture room floor texture -short "RE: CODE" logo intro on starting the game -Main menu BGM added -graphical improvements to lighting

New Status Affects:

-Haste: increases movement speed -Ward: protects you from being inflicted with negative statuses such as poison, bleeding, etc -Energized: prevents stamina from reducing

New Weapons:

We have added a few "modern" weapons as this is something that has been heavily requested. For balance reasons, they are of course not too OP and they are quite rare to find and expensive to buy. They are similar to the nail gun but slightly better. -9mm Pistol -308 Hunting rifle -44 Revolver -38 Snub revolver

New Items:

-Venom Enhancement Kit - adds poison enhancement to your weapon -Protection gem: bestows "Ward" on the player. Can be found. -Energy Nut: eat it to bestow "Energized" on yourself -Speed Seed: eat it to bestow haste on yourself -9mm Ammo box: contains a handful of 9mm bullets -308 Ammo box: contains a handful of .308 bullets -38 Ammo box: contains a handful of .38 bullets -44 Ammo box: contains a handful of .44 bullets -Ascension Crystal: used to instantly ascend to the next floor. Can only be found. Very rare. -Descension Crystal: used to instantly descend to the below floor. Can only be found. Very rare. -Warp Gem: used to warp to a random spot on the current level instantly. Can only be found. Quite rare.

New Blueprints:

-9mm Pistol -308 Hunting Rifle -44 Revolver -38 Snub -9mm ammo -38 ammo -308 ammo -44 ammo

New Achievements:

-Achievement for using any teleport gem/crystal -Achievement for headshotting an entity -Achievement for acquiring the haste effect -Achievement for obtaining a modern weapon

Bug Fixes:

-Fixed clicking the resume button on the pause menu sometimes not unpausing the game (before had to press escape if this happened) -Stopped the safe level spawning items. This was a bug as it led to an exploit of being able to farm items without threat -When going to a new level, players no longer "fall" while the level is loading but are set to the correct position instantly -Fixed the death animation where the player ragdolls not working in singleplayer (previously the player would fall instantly without transition) -Fixed a bug where you could use hotkeys while text chat is open -Fixed blueprints being lost to corruption -Fixed starting a multiplayer game deleting single-player saves -Fixed ladder spawning in trees in winter whiteout (snow) level -Fixed a bug where the battery/oil life of flashlights/lanterns will persist to new ones. I.e you have a dead flashlight, pick up a new one, and that will also be dead. They all now have their own independent life. -Fixed the stamina slider disappearing sometimes, usually when alt-tabbing out of steam -Fixed a bug where if you fall/do not clip out the level in multiplayer, you wouldn't respawn to a random position (as is the case in singleplayer) -Fixed instantly dying to lava in multiplayer levels sometimes when entering the level -Fixed a bug preventing you from passing floor 100 in multiplayer -Fixed a bug that sometimes caused you to not be able to pick up items -Fixed a bug preventing locked doors/bars appearing to close when starting a single-player game -Fixed item duplication bug -Fixed items sometimes not spawning on low levels -blueprint backup for extra protection: If somehow you do lose your blueprints in a crash, just reload any old save file saved with them and they'll be restored globally -Fixed gunpowder sprite showing as "wood" incorrectly -Moved some inventory GUI around to stop some elements from overlapping Thank you all who have supported the game during the early access period, and were there to help with suggestions and feedback through the many, many updates we have released, as always, we'll see you in the next update! Cheers!

Hello! We have released a new update! This update adds a new range of items and fixes some bugs. New items: Lucky o' Milk. This comes in multiple different flavours/types with each one having different effects, as well as restoring some thirst and hunger. Also, unlike other drinks, the new milk can be consumed even when not thirsty due to its special benefits. -Plain Milk - Standard milk -Banana Flavour - bestows the "hydrated effect" -Strawberry Flavour - restores some stamina, bestows the "bloated" effect -Chocolate Flavour - can cure bleeding -Matcha Flavour - fully restores stamina. Bestows a damage-dealt buff -"Very Lucky" limited edition flavour - bestows a brand new buff called "Luck" (See below). New Status Effect: "Luck" -This buff greatly boosts the chance of special items such as weapons and tools spawning. Other Changes/Fixes: -Vendors can stock and sell every type of milk -Milk can also be found throughout the backrooms. The better the effect, the rarer the milk is -Added an achievement for consuming any milk -Fixed a bug where ammo loaded into guns will be removed when unequipping and equipping the weapon -Fixed a bug where the unequip SFX plays when pressing the unequip button with no weapon -Fixed a bug where the obituary death record will incorrectly show that you died on level 0 if you die on any negative level -The death screen run results now show the highest and lowest level you reached in that run separately. This is in case you go down and come back up, or vice versa, but also because the lowest levels were not shown at all. -Fixed a graphical issue where the dead screen run results can clip/extend off screen if too long -Other small misc fixes/tweaks (typos, smaller stuff, etc). The next update will mostly focus on fixing many other reported bugs and improving the overall polish! Cheers!

Hello, server maintenance was undergoing recently that may have caused some issues with players in certain regions connecting. This has now been completed and the servers are back up and running. Apologies for anyone who may have been affected by the issue! Cheers!

Hello! We have released a new content update! New mechanic: elemental enhancing of weapons: -You can now enhance any weapon with one of three current elemental effects: fire damage, frost damage, and shock damage. The elemental effects are added similar to upgrading, find an elemental kit and then use it to bestow the effect onto the weapon. Every hit against an entity will then deal additional elemental damage! -Every entity now has some elemental resistance/weakness to these three elements which affects the bonus elemental damage only, for example, the fire golem entity will take big additional elemental damage from a frost weapon, but no additional elemental damage from fire. Shark entities weak to lightning, and resist frost, etc. -Added the three individual elemental enhancement kit items: Fire enhancement kit, Frost enhancement kit, -Elemental kits can be found or bought from the general faceling vendors Added a "safe level": -This level can appear as any other theme, however, it is very tiny, has no entities, and usually has vendors and vending machines around. This level serves as a brief break and an opportunity to stock up on items. This level looks identical to level 0, however, is much smaller, brighter, has wider corridors and text will appear at the top of the screen stating you are in a safe level. Added a new status effect and matching item: Drunkenness! -Your vision will be temporarily blurred and your movement inverted, so don't party too hard in the backrooms. -New item: HNT Wine. Restores a large amount of sanity and some thirst, however, inflicts drunkenness for a short period of time. Can be found or bought. Added three new achievements for: -Enhancing a weapon with an elemental effect -Getting drunk -Finding the safe level Other changes: -The previously added flaming crossbow now has fire enhancement by default -Fixed the double musket visual bug -Fixed a bug where loading your previous quicksave resets ammo in guns to 0 -Fixed a bug where entering the multiplayer lobby and leaving without starting a game and then trying to load a single player quicksave crashes the game -Various smaller/minor fixes & tweaks (typos, visual/graphical glitches, etc) As usual, there will be another update again soon! Cheers!

Hello! We have released a new update! This update adds a new type of item: Valuables/Trinkets. Unlike other items which have specific uses, these miscellaneous items are solely for selling for money or dismantling for materials when possible. They are the most common type of item and are widespread throughout the backrooms and provide an efficient way to accumulate materials or money. They are also all stackable for this reason. These items also spawn independently from other items, so they will not take the spawn chance of other items for example, and thus do not make any other normal items less rare or affect their RNG at all. Below are the new items added: -Cigarettes -Fork -Spoon -Toilet Paper -Phone Case -Phone Charger -Dog Tag -Car Key -Woven Basket -Iron Ingot -Cloth Sack -Rubber Duck -Wooden Plank -Wooden Sculpture -Gargoyle Statue -Voodoo Doll -Crude Toy Other changes: -Buffed the light on both lanterns and candles -Lantern oil is now stackable -Fixed a bug with the crowbar dismantle description not showing materials -Fixed a bug where some statistics were not showing/saving properly -As a lot more items have been added, we slightly increased default inventory slots from 10 to 12, and with backpacks from 15 to 18. -Fixed some items sell price being at 1 (such as baseball bat) -Added a creepy static radio that can spawn throughout the levels. May have practical use in the future but for now, is mainly for aesthetics and ambiance similar to the TV. -Fixed a bug where entities could sometimes not inflict status effects via melee damage in multiplayer As is usual by now, there will be another update again around the same similar timeframe! Cheers!

Hello! We have released another regular content update! Content Changes: -Added a "Darkrooms Level". This level is similar to the default level 0 theme, however as the name implies, it is almost pitch black. You will most likely need a light source to navigate here. This level will only appear after level 0 so you don't spawn into a pitch-black room and gives you time to find a light source. -Added a new "silent stalker type entity". This entity only appears in the darkrooms and does not make any "scream noise" when chasing you, so if you don't have a light source, you'll have to be careful it doesn't sneak up on you! -New status effect: health regeneration over time -New item: Pain Killers. These apply the damage resistance buff as well as the health regeneration buff. -bars are now shown above every status buff/debuff to show how much time left is remaining for it -Some lanterns lights were strangely "red" tinted, this was changed to be more orange and realistic -vendor can sell painkillers -painkiller achievement for using it -various smaller fixes such as typos, graphical glitches etc.. As always, there will be another regular update relatively soon! Cheers!

Hello! A late-night update (3AM here!) is out now! This update was planned for tomorrow, however, it comes early! Some new features and more! Changes: -Added a statistics screen. This shows all your previous run statistics such as total deaths, chests, damage received, damage dealt total, shots fired, food, drink, floors climbed, floors descended, backcoin, items sold, bought, etc. Note that as this is a new feature, it will start from zero from the update and will be unable to account for information prior to this update -New entity: Deathmoths. These entities have a low chance of spawning on any level. Unlike normal entities that chase you, these entities instead fly around at high speed and won't chase you, however, if you're unfortunate enough to be in their flight path and be hit by them, you'll take some damage and likely be poisoned. If you hear the loud sound of insect wings beating, it's time to take cover! -Added an achievement for consuming 25 food items in total -Added an achievement for consuming 50 food items in total -Added an achievement for drinking 25 liquid items in total -Added an achievement for drinking 50 liquid items in total -Added an achievement for encountering death moths -added a special baseball bat weapon -Fixed the vendor item text overlapping with the description -Improved the lighting of lantern/fire lights so they are no longer "white artificial light" -Fixed many typos -Added multiplayer leaderboards!
