INTRODUCTION

Hello gamers and fellow game devs! I completely lied about version 1.4 being the final update, as I have recently received a lot of feedback on this game, and it got me motivated to go back and make a few changes.

For new viewers who don't quite know what this project is, End The Slend is a first person horror game based around the Slenderman, a popular horror meme from back in the day.  It was made for a 7 day game jam battle against my good friend Nogard, who also made his own Slenderman game. I also made a video about the game jam, which you can check out HERE!

After making a few updates, I had planned to leave this project alone and work on a new project. While I do have a big project in the works, it came to my attention that I had received some very helpful feedback and criticisms about this game. When hearing these new perspectives, it motivated me to run it back and make a few changes to this game. So I now dub this update as...

As the name suggests, this update has a lot to do with the overall look of the game. The main things that were changed are the skybox and the fog. The skybox was originally very dark, same with the fog, and although this matched up pretty closely with the original Slender : The Eight Pages as planned, it made the game frustrating at times, as it was difficult to get a good grasp at your surroundings and figure out where you need to go next. So for the skybox I changed it to a more unique dark purple sky, and for the fog I decreased it's density and made the fog lighter, allowing the player to see more than 5 feet in front of them.

So without further ado, here is the changelog for update 1.5!

• Improved visibility with the changes made to the skybox and fog.
• Improved player flashlight, allowing them to see more clearly.
• New texture for the terrain in the tents area.
• Made a new world map, and placed multiple displays for it around the map.
• Added new visual and sound effects for when the Slenderman is killed.
• Added a few lights around the world to brighten it up a little.
• Changed the Slenderman's AI to be slightly more difficult.
• Made the Slenderman's hand projectiles move faster.
• Added a new effect to one of the easter eggs...
• Fixed the Rune 7 audio track, it now loops properly.
• Fixed bug where player footsteps would still play even when player is not on the ground.
• Fixed Slenderman not wanting to teleport sometimes.
• Fixed some of the tents, originally they were not positioned and rotated correctly and would float above ground.
• Updated the splash screen to my current one.

And that's all! I'm not going to say that this is the last update, as that was a lie before, but I currently have no plans to update this project further. If you play this game and come across any bugs, please let me know! I'll hop back in to do some bug fixing, just no major updates planned. As always, I greatly appreciate any playthrough videos being made, as it is the best way for me to learn about my games. Thank you for taking the time to read, and if you choose to play, I hope you enjoy!
