• Due to constant complaints from Meta, we've added a death scene after you die as a solution.

• I've added a store/purchasing system as a result of a community poll.

• Added a flare cosmetic/collectable found inside level 3, the Forest. It includes 2 variants: red and orange.

• In v4 of LightingZone.cs, map loaders are no longer needed. The script now automatically sets ambient light to 1 inside any zone and 0 outside all zones, preventing previous interference between zones.

• I've decided to postpone the release of the 'OG' gamemode due to the scene crashing on launch; but I have no idea why this is happening, and will try and figure out a solution after release.

• The distance feature turns the scene red, and enables bloom, chromatic aberration, and a screen fuzz/static when the player gets close to a monster.

• Within level 3, I've added new hiding spots, including several bushes, which you can hide inside of: Preventing the monster from chasing/seeing you; And I've also added in the center of the level, a little dip of water, which the player can sink inside of, and hide from the monster.

• Changed the loading scene to match with the level 3 'Forest' revamp, which included changing the looks of forest and some of it's contents.

• The 'Death' scene will now redirect the player back to spawn after 10-12 seconds.

• Changed the design of level 3 so Another Axiom won't sue me for using assets.

• The crash happened because the game was trying to switch scenes immediately after leaving a Photon multiplayer room. Photon needs a brief moment to finish disconnecting, and forcing a scene change at the same time caused a conflict that led to the crash.

• I fixed this by adjusting the scene transition system so the game now waits for Photon to fully disconnect before loading the next scene. With this change, the crash is resolved and the transition after the jumpscare runs smoothly.

• As a core memory from the early stages of Shadow Chimp, previously named 'Chimp Chasers' but was changed due to the name being taken; I've added a new button to spawn that'll take you to the OG version of Shadow Chimp.

• With the Halloween update out, it introduces new cosmetics, lobby theme, and the change in design of Level 1: Which I brought back the old dark level 1.

• Along with the Halloween Update, I've also added a new skin variant: The Skeleton- Which looks normal under light, but glows in the dark.

• Changed the code of the NameScript.cs so if a user puts in a bad name, for example; any slurs, swears, etc., their name will reset to "Bad Chimp" letting people know they tried to put a bad name. Also fixed the issue with users without names.

• Added Tombstones inside of spawn, and and added a new zoning feature for the decorations in spawn so it's less laggy in the store.

• Inside level 3, I've changed the textures to match the fall theme, and added a loop that wraps around the map: Climb the trees to reach it.

• Fixed the level 1 monster getting stuck near exit.(Image was taken outside of map)

• Fixed the issue with players not being able to grab the dry cells in level 2.

• Fixed skin hands being off centered with the controller/hands.

• Added a ticket/support system in the Discord.

• Added new monster, "Corrupted" or in-game it's called "Null". You can find Corrupted in the the far back of Level 1, where a Baldi's Basics themed map is located. Just a quick FYI: It will crash you game...

• While still on the topic of level 1, I've increased the difficulty of Level 1: Instead of 3 buttons, there's an additional 4, making it 7 buttons, in which those 4 are located around the new area.

• I've also placed "Company Note" Posters around the lobby, and the entrance of Level 1, as a hint for players so they know what to do.

• I've added 2 new cosmetics, a flaming jack-o'-lantern cosmetic, and a head cosmetic related to Corrupted/Null.

• PlayFab is finally fixed, now, you should be able to keep your ID any time you play-

The reason this has been happening was because I had put a line in the login code which causes the login script to make a new ID every time you start up the game.

• We’ve added a new anti-cheat to prevent players from modding our game. The only reason we needed a second one was because some middle schooler made a boring, pointless mod.
  Their Discord btw: nox_real993, bxhsks
  (They didn't have a VPN btw)
  
  

• Their actions have caused us to change photon servers to prevent them from interacting with other servers.

Added Entitlement checking: An anti-piracy measure that verifies if a user has legitimately purchased or obtained an app.

• The new shop system removes all 'free' cosmetics, making players to buy cosmetics using their daily funds. The only free cosmetic, is the default tophat.

• These 4 screenshots are the only current leaks of the upcoming Backrooms update, which will release once I figure out how to fix photon with scene changing.

• I've also removed any lag that was within level 3; the lights were causing ~15 average frame drop.

• I also removed skins, specifically the custom model skins, because the rigs were very broken.

• In this new revamp, it brings a new look to spawn; which changes the look of the store and the layout of a few areas. And also introduces new map loading/FPS fixes.

• The new revamp also introduces the new vending machine, which when you click the bottom button, it'll drop a soda grabbable. Nothing much, but something fun to add to the mix.

• The Spawn Revamp Update has been released, and is now available to everyone.

• The revamp also re-introduces elevators, which have been fixed so players can no longer get stuck or fall below when going up.

• Added new features in the [Settings] section of the console: Which are Support links for the website and a support button which is just a mailto link.

• Also updated the Hitsounds on the hands so now they're networked across the servers.

• Fixed the currency display board which is located to the left of the entrance of the store; so it now correctly displays your currency amount.

• Fixed the currency display board which is located to the left of the entrance of the store; so it now correctly displays your currency amount.

• And a secret redeemable code has been hidden around spawn, it can be located in either the lobby, or the store and back area- Only one person can redeem this item, so get to searching if you want to claim this one-of-a-kind cosmetic.
  (it is only in publicly available locations)
