Slender Multiplayer v1.5 (Oct 26, 2021)

Slender Multiplayer
A browser Game made in HTML5

Slender Multiplayer v1.5 is out!

Crazy new changes!
3rd Anniversary / Halloween Update!

Texture changes:

New Additions:

  • Improved Slenderman's AI
    To make the game more intense, and to keep Slenderman a threat, some changes were made:
    - Slenderman no longer teleports when you look away from him
    - Slenderman slows down faster when you look at him, but also speeds up faster when you look away
    - When he is close to you, he is more likely to teleport
    - His teleport is much more strategic and will try to get closer to you or teleport in front of where you are going
    - When looking at Slenderman, your screen fills with static faster
    - He gets a small speed boost when in range of players
    These effects are also applied to the player controlling Slenderman

Bug Fixes and Small Changes

  • Fixed a bug where CPU Slenderman would spam little teleports in the bathroom on occasion
  • Hopefully fixed the bug where some players using Chromebooks wouldn't be able to type in their name on the main menu
  • Added some spooky sound effects as more pages get collected
  • Some performance improvements as well, now only objects around you get loaded rather than the entire maps objects all loaded at once
  • CPU Slenderman now stops moving after the game has been won (or lost :P) to prevent jittering
  • Emotes can now be used in Singleplayer mode
  • The red text in the lobby now only stretches up to 6 lines and no longer flickers when multiple lines are written at once
  • Reduced the randomization in Slender's red arrow (when players charge their flashlight) by 50%
  • Fixed a slight text issue where the 'a' was very similar to 'o'
  • Fixed a bug where multiple people couldn't charge their flashlights at the same time
  • Fixed a hitbox problem with the Slenderman CPU where you'd get static when you weren't looking directly at him
  • The host can no longer start the game while an 'invalid' player is in the lobby. This happens when a bad connection is made, and you cannot see their name since they can't send the host any updates.
  • Made the battery display bigger, and it no longer jitters when you walk around
  • Added a small tutorial at the start of every game (for both survivors and Slenderman) to show how to use the flashlight, sprint, teleport, and open the options menu
  • Slightly decreased the saturation of the wooden textures (trees, logs, benches)
  • You can no longer see player emotes through walls
  • Added some fades in the main menu when you start / join a game

The idea for this game started on October 26th, 2018, and I am surprised to still be working on it even 3 years later!
