The Backrooms News

This is a live stream of the Development process. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Central Employees,
We understand your frustration with the current power outages and we assure you we're taking every step to bring our people home. But... let's not forget the importance of the work we're doing here. Lastly, we want to remind you that the work you're do is propriety and not to be discussed with any government employees you encounter while working.

• We have worked tirelessly to make sure our employees are preparing for anything they encounter during a work day. Daily exercises are proven to increase your stamina throughout the work day and give you that extra edge should anything terrible be chasing you.
• Central also provides agility training to all employees regardless of physique. We've hired the best brands to ensure you're able to operate at 100% while in your protective suit. Whether that's to prevent back strain while working on a computer or peaking around a corner to check for danger.
• Finally, we've invested tremendous effort is our mesh network IMU's which help us keep track of your location and distress levels.

Your efforts to improve the world will not be in vain,
Central CEO

[h2]All Central Employees,[/h2]
While we continue to make incredible progress in our efforts, we understand The Backrooms have gotten a little... unsettling... lately. Regardless, I want to remind all our employees to follow our procedures to the letter or face immediate termination… upon your recovery.
As for our weekly update:

• We are proud to announce we have increased our comms network to a massive 8X2^4 Km. This should allow our workers a phycological improvement as we know The Backrooms can sometime feel... Isolating
  
• Additionally, some of you are aware we've found another space! A hospital. It shouldn't take much to imagine the potential profit of limitless hospital space.
  
• Unfortunately, You may encounter some government personnel while working. While Central abides by all government rules and regulation we recommend you do not talk or interact with the government personnel. Violation of this will lead to immediate termination
  
• Lastly, we are aware that some of the entrance (and exit) doors are temporarily offline due to power issues. We are currently troubleshooting this issue and hope to have it resolved in the near future. If you are unfortunate enough to be on the other side we recommend you stay where you are until we are able to recover you.
  

Respectfully,
Central Space Inc.

[h3]Welcome to The Backrooms![/h3] Thank you everyone for giving this game a chance.

The latest update addresses a number on bugs and optimizations including:

• Lighting complexity on intro environment - apparently some of the equipment was causing the breakers to overload. This normally isn’t a problem but since the door to the real world unexpectedly shut we need to make sure everyone on our end it working.
  
• Transition to the undefined environments - from the bodies we’ve found already, it seems to be random when victims noclip into the Backrooms but we still need to be sure to document anomalies we encounter.
  
• Achievements - We know this job is tough and we want you to be rewarded on time for your efforts. We’ll keep working on our telecommunications system to ensure there’s no drops… even after you’ve passed on.
  
• Optimizations - We make every effort to ensure your equipment is up to date and running smoothly. We discovered some leaks in your suit when it gets wet. While they were never designed to be submersible we strive to keep you safe (and dry) whatever dimension you find yourself in.
  

Again, thank you for your service and commitment to the cause.

Hotfix: large optimization push
