As always, thank you for your feedback and support! If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, feel free to share them in the Discord.

This update focuses on improving both gameplay and user experience, addressing longstanding issues and introducing quality-of-life improvements.

[h2]Lobbies[/h2]
Lobbies are still a work in progress, and we're actively addressing all the issues. To help players, we've added three new options:
- A Refresh Lobby button.
- A Debug Menu for troubleshooting, which provides additional tools to manage and resolve lobby-related issues.
- A Toggle to disable auto-join for lobbies. This is useful for hosting your own lobby without joining others automatically.

[h2]New Features [/h2]
- Red Crosshair for SCPs: SCP crosshairs now turn red when a human is within melee range, providing better feedback during encounters. However, SCPs still need to wait for the attack cooldown, displayed on the bottom-right of the screen, before striking.
- Blood Effects: Added to the SCP HUD for improved visual feedback when successfully hitting a human.
- Proximity Alert for SCP-173: Human HUD now flashes yellow on the side SCP-173 is approaching from, providing a visual cue to help players identify its location. This feature reduces reliance on audio cues and enhances situational awareness.
- SCP-049-2 now has an attack animation.

[h2]SCP 4166 Enhancements[/h2]
- Added a quick black fade and an on-screen message when teleported by SCP 4166-2.
- SCP 4166-2 now disappears after hitting a human, and its damage has been increased.

[h2]Improvements[/h2]
- Added a "Currently Spectating..." text on the death screen widget along the name of the player you are spectating.
- SCP 106 HUD now shows a block icon if it cannot walk through a pointed mesh.
- Stamina regeneration has been increased.
- Objective markers no longer disappear after respawn.

[h2]Fixes[/h2]
- Theater Map Issues: Resolved various bugs in the theater map, including player and SCP movement problems.
- Speed Buffs/Debuffs: Fixed inconsistencies with speed buffs and debuffs, and added a slow-down effect for SCP 049 attacks, similar to SCP 4166.
- Corrected issues where players could get stuck in specific areas (e.g in the theater map, in front of the hole above the stairs).
- Addressed bugs with lobby loadout syncing and character selection inconsistencies.

And as always, thank you for playing SCP: Nemesi! 🎄

This update introduces proper lobby support! Upon selecting 'PLAY', users will automatically be placed into a random lobby alongside other players. If there are insufficient participants, AI bots will fill vacant spots, and you will still be able to play.

Players will be assigned randomly to either the SCP or Human factions. They can then navigate through different tabs to select the SCP they will play (human characters are randomized), customize their loadout, and access additional features. Furthermore, players have the option to invite friends directly through the Steam Overlay or join their existing lobbies.

In response to user feedback, we have implemented several visual improvements. Specifically, the fog effect for Humans has been significantly reduced in density, creating a lighter visual atmosphere. Additionally, a new running effect has been introduced to enhance the perception of speed during gameplay.
