When Night Comes Patch Notes — July 1, 2023
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hello everyone! I wanted to come on here and give a quick developer update. Thank you for taking the time to play the game. I understand it’s very frustrating not to be able to progress through the prologue. So, I just wanted to give an update on some upcoming changes in the next update to the game.
Some key frustrations were with the physics for the boxes to get into the vent. In the upcoming update, the vent and the boxes are going to be removed. Instead, it’s just going to be a streamlined process to get to the next area. I believe this will alleviate some of the frustration and issues players were having at this level.
Some more general updates are in the introduction to the Nightmare Level. There is a current bug that I am working on fixing. If the player moves too fast, the main text for what to do with the statues doesn’t appear and some players are frustrated, not understanding what to do. I’m instead changing this method. I should’ve presented this more clearly even if it was a bug. Along with the changes above, I am also adding a more direct approach to telling the player what to do with the given statues.
Additionally in the nightmare level, when going into the abandoned building, you could sometimes fall off the roof without getting the key. This will sometimes block your progress from progressing causing you to reset. I have alleviated this, so if you fall off the roof, the doorway is now open for you to go back inside.
There are still a few bugs that I am working on fixing such as the timer, fog, and items, resetting on a reload or death. This bug is a little more complicated so it will not be introduced in the next update. I hope you understand and thank you for your continued patience.
I hope with these additional changes it would make the player experience more enjoyable. I also plan on working on additional lore as the hidden lore in the game it’s hard to find. I want the story to be up front and center. Thank you again and wish you all the best! Thanks again for playing!
