[h2]Hey everyone![/h2]

Patrik here. I’ve been reading all of your comments and reviews, and it really means a lot to me. I want to make sure the game meets your expectations, so here’s some quick info on what’s going on behind the scenes.
First off, there’s a new update waiting for you!

[h3]⭐ What’s New?[/h3]
This time, I wanted to focus on the first two levels. Here’s what’s been fixed and added:

☢️ Uplifting of Level0:

1. Changed lighting
   
2. Updated textures and models of the environment
   
3. Updated layout of walls and columns
   
4. Entities now can’t get stuck at the last doors, preventing players from entering
   
5. Fixed issue with popping up walls

☢️ New, scarier Smiler on Level0:

1. Updated look (check the gif below) 🔥
   
2. New behaviour ⚠️

☢️ New SFX:

1. Added ambient sounds to Research Underground
   
2. Updated sounds of doors and levers on Research Underground
   
3. Added music when interacting with specific places on Research Underground
   
4. Added ambient water sound to main menu

☢️ Fixed doors so they now close when players are out of range in Research Underground

It's waiting in the shadows...

[h3]🔧 Fixing and Polishing First[/h3]
My main focus right now is fixing and polishing what’s already in the game. I want to make sure you’re happy with the current experience before I jump into adding new levels and features. Because of this, the Halloween update and the new levels planned for October will need to be delayed—but don’t worry, they’ll be released eventually! I just want to make sure everything is in great shape before introducing more content.

[h3]📝 Weekly Devlogs[/h3]
To keep you in the loop, I’ll be posting weekly devlogs from now on, giving you updates on what I’m working on and what’s coming next. I want to make sure you know exactly what’s happening and hear your thoughts on the upcoming changes!

[h3]🤔 Your Feedback is Super Important![/h3]
Please let me know what you think of these changes! I want to make sure the improvements are heading in the right direction, so your thoughts are really valuable. Drop your feedback in the comments or join our Discord server to chat with the community and me directly.

Thanks again for all your support! I’m really excited to continue improving Backrooms Media and make it a game we’re all proud of 😄

See you in the Backrooms!

[h2]Hi everyone![/h2]

Another new level is out! Once again, one of the already existing levels lead to this one.

Is there any escape from this eerie forest? What monstrous creatures, twisted by radiation, hide within the shadows? Can you find the exit and survive the lethal radioactive particles swirling around you unnoticed? Grab your dosimeter and see if you can make it out alive!

The game is expected to go on a non-linear path, so, once again, the new level is not at the end of the current game. The entrance can be found at one of the already existing levels!

[h3]📝 Report your bugs![/h3]
As always, your reports are a huge help in improving the game, so if you come across any bugs, please report them in the special thread on the Steam forums here. Every bit of info you provide helps me make the game better!

Thank you for your feedback and support!

[h2]Hi everyone![/h2]

There’s a new level waiting for you! One of the already existing levels leads to this new one! This time, you’ll be exploring a bunker where you’ll have to survive some pretty intense conditions – extreme heat and cold. Let me know what you think!

The game is expected to go on a non-linear path, so the new level is not at the end of the current game, the entrance for it can be found at one of the levels!

Along with the new level, I’ve also rolled out some fixes based on your feedback. Here’s a quick list of what’s been addressed since yesterday:

• Italian and Polish language support has been added.
  
• Stamina Buff: Your stamina now regenerates much faster, and you have more of it overall.
  
• Infinite Stamina is enabled when playing on Peaceful mode.
  
• Workshop Levels now load in correctly.
  
• Extended the Lobby Creation Timeout, which should help resolve some connection issues.
  
• The Lobby Difficulty description now updates correctly.
  
• Player camera rotation lag now only applies when using the realistic camera setting.
  
• Fixed some collisions at the Office level.
  
• Fixed door opening issues and stairs collisions at the ElectricalStation level.
  
• Smiler speed increased.
