- Fixed the Room # disappearing in VR after you went down an elevator

If there's other problems/issues please report them in the Steam Forums

Update Crowd Control to be compatible with 2.0

• Added a link to open a streamer dashboard for Crowd Control that lets you trigger effects for yourself (Note: if the dashboard link doesn't open for you, close and restart the game) + a link to install the twitch extension
  
• Fixed incorrect notes in Karamari Hospital and Unknown Specimen 5's intro sequence

Fix HOS+ crashing on the oho scare

We added Crowd Control! If you're not familiar - Crowd Control lets twitch.tv viewers mess with your game. Earlier this year Sheena was part of a charity stream where the central premise was that streamers had teams that would mess with each other via Crowd Control. After it ended we were like "that was really cool", looked in to it, and found out that they were looking for Unity games who wanted to integrate Crowd Control. Coincidentally, Spooky's HD is a Unity game and we wanted to integrate Crowd Control.

To connect Crowd Control, go to the Options menu either from the Main Menu or in game. It will walk you through the steps to activate Crowd Control for the game. If you want more information and for questions that are about Crowd Control in general, visit https://crowdcontrol.live/. Your viewers will be able to spawn any of the chasers, force big rooms, give you unlimited stamina, or all kinds of other things. Including, as you might have guessed, Clown Time, which will make sure there are at least 10 clowns active.

Please note that Crowd Control is less effective in Karamari Hospital and The Dollhouse due to the nature of their layouts, you will not be able to spawn chasers in or force rooms. It is best experienced in Endless Mode or the Base Mansion. Endless Mode has a special Crowd Control leaderboard that isn't currently shown in the game but can be viewed from the Steam Community.

Additionally in this update we've upgraded our Unity engine version, added some nice music to the pause and options screens (by Jarren Crist), and fixed some bugs. Here's a list:

• Fixed Husks being able to push you out of bounds on spawn (again, hopefully for the last time)
  
• Fixed Specimen 12 not damaging you during his start room if he was on the way to the door at the time
  
• Fixed trying to go through the door in the SCARE room without selecting specimen causing the game to softlock
  
• Fixed hitting Specimen 6 with the axe in The Dollhouse hell sequence causing him to get stuck & not get pulled in to the crystal
  
• Fixed Specimen 8's forest killscreen being weird (it had the wrong wrong model and animations missing)
  
• Fixed the progression tracking visibility on achievements in Steam (the progression always worked but the number didn't update in Steam's UI)

There may be other bugs that got fixed that aren't on the list because it's been a while and we just straight up forgot, or in the process of doing other things (i.e. ports, Crowd Control integration) things got cleaned up or fixed.

If you find new bugs or have questions, please post them in the Bug Reports & Solutions v2 Thread or join the discord. We'll see you there.

I would like to thank all of you for being patient with us, we're still here and still trying to get the last platform, SOUP, and BYOM in your hands. Life's been rough and it means a lot to the both of us that people are still excited enough to ask about it.

Hello fleshlings! The sun is upon us! Perfect time to stay inside and go to virtual worlds.

The main focus of this update is returning functionality to VR. A new version of Unity allowed the input technology we use to coexist with the Unity input system that works with VR controllers! So - SteamVR and OpenXR controllers are now officially supported!

When you launch the game from Steam there are now two options, one to play using SteamVR and one to play using OpenXR. Depending on your device, one may work better than the other, we recommend trying SteamVR first.

If your VR controllers do not work, you may need to reset the options to defaults. Due to the way our rebindable controls work, there is a chance that it won’t load the defaults and will assume that the VR controls aren’t bound to anything.

The bulk of the work on this update went in to upgrading Unity and making sure that VR worked overall, there’s still some interactions that are a little rough around the edges that we will clean up in the future. Additionally, we were only able to test on a Valve Index, and so while it should be the same on other devices, it might still need some fixing around the edges, and we hope you’ll help us out with that with good bug reports.

All of that out of the way, we did do some other things along the way:

FIXES:

• Fixed the UI element for the countdown in the dollhouse not showing appearing
  
• Fixed Specimen 13 spawning in the last 5 rooms breaking the ending sequence of the base mansion
  
• Fixed a duplicate camera in the neutral ending
  
• Fixed Specimen 6’s music restarting when you left his spawn room
  
• Fixed Whiteface’s roots having positioning and material errors
  
• Fixed it being possible to have Spooky appear behind geometry during the ending sequence
  
• Fixed the pause menu being very out of alignment after recentering VR while playing the game
  
• Fixed lighting errors in one small room
  
• Removed Let's Player Rare room due to people misinterpreting it and is no longer accurate for Spooky's HD specifically.

TWEAKS:

• Small tweaks on the visuals and timing in the neutral and bad endings of the base mansion
  
• Added a display for what VR SDK is currently active in the options menu
  
• Small tweaks on the nightmare sequence in the dollhouse to make it more unnerving
  
• Took 100ms of sound effect delay off Specimen 6’s audio cue for teleporting behind you

WHAT’S NEXT
Next we are going to fix all the bugs that appeared out of nowhere because we did a major Unity version update. After that, we are working on SOUP. Spooky’s Object Upgrade Project. We’re creating 3d replacements for the remaining 2d sprite objects. And once we’re all SOUPed up, ports will be coming to a console near you!

Thanks for being here, and thanks for playing our game! If you run in to problems please check out our bug thread on the Steam forums - if someone hasn’t reported it yet follow the instructions there and help us get the information we need to fix it.
