The Night Shift News

[p]Hey all,[/p][p]It's been a couple of days now, and I have had a lot of positive feedback. There are however a few areas where there can be some improvements, and I'm hoping that this small update is a remedy to some pain points I have noticed.[/p][p][/p][p]A few players are restarting their shifts, or failing their shifts, due to being cornered by the very handsy mannequins. Whilst I tried fixing some of these issues, there are a lot of corners in a department store and I'm not sure if I can get them all. So... instead of not allowing mannequins near every corner, I have added a 'I'm Stuck!' button, that can be accessed by pressing 'Esc' during your shift. [/p][p]There is a disclaimer though when using this, if you use this outside of actually being cornered/unable to move, you may cause other issues such as not triggering events, or tasks, which might stop you progressing the shift. So use it ONLY when you need to![/p][p][/p][p]Clarity has been adjusted and improved for various tasks and items on shifts that can be played on Night 9 and 10. On top of this, some fixes for mannequin placements and various bug fixes on Night 11.[/p][p]Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback and suggested cool features (like a 'I'm Stuck' button).[/p][p][/p][h2]Changes[/h2]

• [p]Added a 'I'm Stuck' button to the menu[/p]
• [p]Added 'Storm Volume' option[/p]
• [p]Updated clarity for some tasks on Night 9/10[/p]
• [p]Updated mannequin placement to minimize being cornered on the shopping list night.[/p]
• [p]Updated items required for tasks to be a little more obvious on Nights 9/10[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• [p]Fixed the phone ringing immediately on Night 11.[/p]
• [p]Fixed being able to get stuck in the power room on Night 11.[/p]
• [p]Fixed incorrect dialogue showing when looking at the HR board on Night 11.[/p]
