I'll keep working hard on the A.I. until I have finished this game, so you can wait for a lot of changes that will make them scarier, dangerous and smarter on each new update! And, I created a new logic for the Walk/Run input. Now you will be able to r |

| [Bug Fix and Good News!] | 2020-07-31 | Bug Fix Hello my friends! By accident, I just left a glitch in the last update, where players were able to Enter the house before some crucial eventes had happened. I caused a glitch that broken the final events at the house. Now it's Fixed! August News! Also I'm working on the implementations for August new version, that will give you more gameplay time! The next version will give you at leat 45 min of gameplay, I'm trying to make it 1h but there's a lot to do and it's all based on the Farm house and the "graveyard" Level. Some events may change or happen in different moments! Well that's it! I hope you enjoy the work I'm doing! ːsteamhappyː |
