Delay

The initial release day of a beta release will now be delayed for a week, because I was unable to create a playable build with the map I am currently working on. I am 80% done with 4 Level out of 7. 

The gameplay is done besides the crawling for vents and falling from a hole. 

A lot of content of the backrooms is not done, because I will have to create a concept of the room structure and more and I was only able to finish the wall models today because I had to learn blender enough to extrude, bevel, mirror, cleanup and uv map all the wall types I am aiming for, which are now done. 

I will still try to upload a build in the following days and update the page with new images a new beta trailer and will work on the world next weekend. Baking and Building will probably take up to 5-8 hours or more.

I added a new level to my list, it is the pool level. I "finished" creating the cave level and the winter forest scene is done. The field of wheat level and the neighbourhood suburb level are left. Inside the level 0 will contain several sections and structure, which are curently only partially implemented. There will be holes in the ground, doors, the lab and hints of the async, some red light horror, cinematic scenes, the bacteria enemy, corpses and mushrooms like bacteria infection, decals, assets, jump scares, events.

The settings are also due. They will consist of options to toggle window mode, sensitivity of mouse, ambience, fx and ui. The graphics will not be changable as I will try to optimise the game as much as I can and stream and unload enough that the rendering in 720x576 will perform good enough on all computers to be playable at 60fps to 144fps.

But solo game dev takes time and I will make sure to do my best and implement all the content as fast as I can. I will weekly update the build inside my drive with the same link as shown on the main page which will only feature the new link to the drive and not the alpha version anymore. All the previous build will be listed in archive folder inside the main drive link. 

Thank you for your support and if you want to contribute, help or recommend, I will create a discord server with additional sneak peaks and more information.
