0.72 UPDATE: BLOODHOUND RISES

In Heat
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux


@kekitopu took the time and made her for us, and they will be working on rebuilding every character we have. We love seeing fanart and fan-animations of our characters, and Ari's rig is so very nice to work with compared to the other girls.

We will also be releasing a VR-Chat Avatar really soon!
==================================================================================================
It is now time for the changelog!

**Admin Room**

* Sweeping optimization changes for Admin Room.

* Changes the robot so that they stop asking to be let in if the door is already open.

* A secret prop now spawns sometimes in the admin room.

* The vents will now actually gameover you if you fail it, as opposed to simply sitting there forever in limbo.

* Changes several camera angles and lighting in the admin room to make the atmosphere more oppressive.

* Adds particle effects to the Admin room to add some A E S T H E T I C .

* Transitions most of the lighting in Admin to baked lighting for further optimization.

* Fixes\* loss of control in the admin room.

**Night Club**

* Sweeping optimization changes for Nightclub.

* Performing some actions in the nightclub now rewards tickets.

* Finalizes the look of the Vault.

* Adds Prinny. (oh boy a secret character? wow I didn't even talk about this one)

* Adds a drink shaker.

* Makes the lights minigame look correct on lower graphics settings.

**Videos & Unlocks**

* Updates one of nile's videos.

* Forces the unlock board to recompile each time the game is built, preventing orphaned unlocks.

* Alters the unlock board to have some props and spawn the info pane on the viewport instead of in the game world.

* Ari replaces Cassidy as the shopkeep.

* Fixes the customize desk UI.

* Adds a video related to Ari.

**General**

* Fixes audio slider issues with some sounds.

* Partially fixes the gamma slider to not allow complete eye searing levels.

* Alters the lighting in the main menu and changes some props.

* Removes references to world war 2.

* Removes the numpad 5 unlock secret.

* Adds another secret.

* Implements save version tracking. This will wipe your save file, but moving forward, save file wiping will not be required.

* Fixes some strange depth of field issues on the main menu.


KNOWN ISSUES:

(significant) issues:

* Some users cannot accept Maddie's pie

* Borderless fullscreen breaks some widgets

* Tapes in general are needing more tlc

* Loading new maps causes significant freezing due to a lack of transition

* Ari can be clicked rapidly in a single location to spam her cute sounds

* In some 'game over' scenes, it is possible to wait out the night and still win

* If the night ends with the ad playing on your PC, it will continue playing indefinitely without draining sanity.

* You can hover over shop elements while the camera is transitioning from one area to the next.

* Main menu widgets are not flush with their meshes.

* When the lights go out in admin room, the girls can no longer enter your room.

* Gamma controls are backwards with brightest being the lowest value.

* Sound controls are borked and do not initialize properly.

*White Screen Issue persists, looking into ways to cache videos better. Will likely switch to in engine animations once the models are reworked. 

=======================================================================

Thank you guys once again for being so patient with us. Once we finish optimizing the AI systems we will be moving on to a new FOREST level, which should be out around Halloween!  Hope you all have a wonderful night!
