FEATURES/IMROVEMENTS:

• Multiple chasers can now spawn during a day with one Observer acting as their 'puppet master'
• Moved from LethalLib to DawnLib to support future updates
• Now VR compatible

Observer spectre:

• Revamped appearance - detailed base texture, normal maps and emissions

• Observer Speakers - The spectre now has speakers attached to it's front

  • The air raid SFX are played from these speakers instead of an invisible one
  • The spectre will randomly play haunting sound effects. These are supposed to represent the recordings the observer has witnessed/heard throughout it's existence
  • The random SFX sometimes contain the Observer's voice that has been corrupted and instead is used to lure/taunt players

• New VFX (thanks to jon4reZ)

  • New smoke cloud VFX that doesn't clip through the cloak of the observer spectre.
  • New air raid sound VFX that cause nearby players screens to shake a little.

• New air raid animations

• New powering up and down animations

• Lowered pitch of air raid to avoid people being falsely copyright flagged

• Now doesn't disappear during air raid, instead 'powers down'

Chasers:

• Added new chaser models/appearances

  • Bracken Chaser - Employee who had neck snapped by bracken, with bullet wounds
  • Cadaver Chaser - Employee who died to a cadaver infestation

• Chasers have unique 'dead' poses depending on appearance

  • Fallen onto knees
  • Twisted limbs
  • Led on back

• Reduced height of chasers

• Improved current animations

  • improved running animation
  • improved stab/hit animation to support two handed weapons

• Chasers can now use different weapons with new animations to match

  • Shovel
  • Yield sign
  • Stop sign

• Chasers can now drop different items depending on what they are using (e.g. drops shovel when attacking with one)

• New SFX for the chasers voice and death

• New reanimation VFX (thanks to jon4rez)

• Chasers can now break into the ship when the door is closed similar to the giant sapsucker

BUG FIXES:

• fixed a bug where the chaser would run through the ship door
• fixed an issue where the chaser was avoidable by walking in circles
• fixed a bug where there was a lag stutter as the air raid started
• fixed a bug where players could kill the chaser when not in chasing state

• fixed a visual bug where chaser weapon would clip into floor when dormant

2.0.1

BUFFS:

These buffs aim to make the Chasers more of a threat.

• Chaser now runs at a speed of 8
• The chase timer ticks down slower when the Chaser is in a different area to the player (inside/outside)
• Chaser now attacks much faster, with smaller cooldowns (rapid swinging of weapon)
• Chaser health increased from 3 to 8
• Maximum chasers that can spawn increased to 6 (adjusted spawn curve so they are more likely to spawn later in day)
• Increased detection range to 45 units

IMROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES:

• Changed the colour of the reanimation VFX to better suit the Observer
• Improved Chaser hit detection by making victims take ownership of enemy meaning attacks will be smoother. This bug also fixes chasers 'slowing down' for players who don't own the enemy
• Nerfed the spawn weights on custom moons of the Observer and it's chasers
