The Backrooms Game 1.02.003 Update Log - 8/20/19
New Additions (2):
-Added partial controller support (Xbox360 and XboxOne controllers only). Please note that controllers will NOT work in menus, but will ONLY work during gameplay. Full controller support coming in the FULL Edition.
-Sprinting now compatible with Right Shift for all you left handers out there

Bug Fixes (6):
-Fixed typo on main menu screen
-Modified dead zone of joystick axis detection in hopes of resolving undesirable movement for this with HOTASs connected to their system
-Fixed rare bug where the floor would fail to generate
-Fixed rare bug where the ceiling would fail to generate
-Fixed issue where stains on the ceiling would clip in and out of the ceiling as it lowers
-Fixed issue where distance would sometimes calculate incorrectly after very far distances

Optimizations (2):
-Decreased the number of overall tiles used, resulting in less light calculations and a much greater average FPS
-Heavily optimized the level generation algorithm

Hey there all!

The Being is a bit more common in this update, and will behave much more as intended (not spawning right in front of you anymore, less distorted at further distances etc.).

Exits are now a bit more rare, and will likely appear further from the start than in the previous version!

More updates and details regarding The Backrooms Game FULL Edition coming soon!

Happy noclipping,
