Night Watch V1.1 Now Available!


Version 1.1 is now out with a good amount of bug fixes, performance improvements, and general quality of life changes. The original version was pretty solid but I wanted to make some quick changes so that you get the best experience. (It may also be due to the fact I botched the launch a wee bit). Anyways, here's some patch notes for you:

  • Made newspaper intractable easier to read
  • Reduced length and wording of some interaction texts
  • Adjusted lighting to improve visuals and atmosphere
  • Made various changes to the play space to improve performance
    • Reduced number of objects (mostly trees)
    • Replacement of high-poly meshes with simple meshes (planes to quads)
    • Addition of dark fog to obscure far objects
    • Separation of detail terrain to avoid un-needed detail at distance
    • Greater use of baked lighting
    • Overall reduction of light intensities
  • Changed material of washers and dryers to look more realistic
  • Removed old code for scare sounds
  • Fixed fuse box triggering multiple times when turning them on after returning inside
  • Added subtle glow effect to main menu title text
  • Changed ending text that appears on computer screen
  • Adjusted texture for UI buttons so that the edges conform properly
  • Changed color of full screen tick to match color theme
  • Fixed issue where the edges of the screen would flicker while transitioning to the credits screen
  • Reduced scale of text for asset sources on the credits screen

Hopefully these changes allow for a much improved game play experience for all of you. You may have also noticed that because of the performance optimizations I was able to setup a webgl build. That should make it a lot easier to jump in and try it out! A little disclaimer though: the webgl version of Night Shift does not perform NEARLY as well as the executable versions. If you want the best experience, you are going to want to download the game.

Thanks for reading and have fun!
