This update is back on the main branch! If you are on the beta branch, you will also be updated to this version automatically.

Here are some things that are new this week:

Compressed over 200+ textures

Many textures now take up less space on your hard drive! This doesn't make much of an impact right now, however this newest update is around ~500MB smaller than V. 3.26.

Compressed several large audio files

The Radio Ralph broadcasts and several of the meditation files have been compressed to save space. These took up an insane amount of space, up to 80MB for some large files!

Added/replaced several door pictures

The pictures on doors for levels 7, 36, 46, and Level Critical have changed or been added.

Revamped level negative 5's part 2

This area is more linear and much more spooky! Also, it is now full of props compared to the relative lack of them in the last version.

Now, if you were on the main branch you'll get a ton of other stuff from past beta updates:

Revamped level 9

Level 9 has been completely redone! Level 9's streets have been completely redone, and so have the houses. The houses have been furnished more realistically, and there is now tons of new loot inside. Hounds infest the streets, and lurkers infest the woods. The neighborhood watch and the mangled still stalk the fields around the houses.

Revamped level negative 4

Level negative 4 now has better lighting, more foliage, and increased view distance. Nothing else has changed with the layout of the level though.

Revamped level negative 5

Level negative 5 has gotten a facelift. The sky, fog, and even the ground have gotten upgrades. It's still extremely cold!

Revamped the woodrooms

The woodrooms have gotten an absolute overhaul, with all sorts of new rooms, props, and secrets. There are also some non-euclidean effects such as walls shifting.

Fixed many picture achievements

The level 1 and 2 picture achievements have been fixed.

Fixed a couple of bounty issues

Previously, the bounties on level 1 would rarely give you impossible objectives like shooting a smiler on level 21. This is now fixed.

Moved the legacy museum to the hub

We thought it was too easter egg-ish to put in the frontrooms, so we moved it.

Turned up radio backrooms station on radio

Self-Explanatory

Added balloon popping physics

Balloons now whizz around the room when popped, and make a satisfying pop sound when out of air. The string can also be cut now.

You can now buy meat in the level 5 casino for 125bb

Self-Explanatory

Revamped level 8

Level 8 was completely rebuilt from scratch in this update! The revamp was inspired by the book Journey To The Center Of The Earth by Jules Verne. There are now all-new caves and rocks, plus a giant ocean in the middle of the areas. The graphics have been overhauled with higher-definition rocks and stalagmites. The gameplay is more vertical, allowing to go down large shafts and swim in water. Don't worry, the fights with the centipede and the large spider are still present.

Added crafting material sales booths

In the frontrooms and level 1 there are now panels to sell crafting resources in bulk. A good way to make cash, and a way to incentivize the collection of crafting materials.

Added new survivor tapes

A new tape (joining the 20+ others) by @SherlockBuzti is in-game in level 22. Plus, another new tape by @cameraman from our discord is in-game in level 480. Thank you both for your contribution!

New songs

There are now 2 new songs in-game. The first is in the new level 8's ocean, and the second is in level 15. Suggested by @LunaNightZ on our discord.

New entity: lurker

A 12ft tall creature is in the level 8 ocean now, he is slow and zombie-like however is quite creepy. He appears nowhere else, but he may in the future.
