It’s time for another devlog! I’m very excited to share the progress I've made.

This week has been all about refining gameplay mechanics and enhancing the player experience on the Parking Lot level. Here’s what I've been up to.

I’ve added a keycard reader to the exit door! Now, it’s much easier to figure out which door is the right one to escape through. No more wandering around aimlessly – but don’t let your guard down just yet!

I’ve changed the key that was hidden in the car to a keycard. This tweak better aligns with the new mechanics and gives the level a more cohesive feel.

I’ve wrapped up the layout and lighting on the Parking Lot level! The ambiance is now dialed in with a perfect mix of eerie shadows and subtle hints to guide your way. I can’t wait for you to see how it sets the mood!


Here’s a preview of the latest updates in the garage!

I’ve also been hard at work on the new game mode I teased earlier. The framework is really starting to take shape, and I’m loving how it’s coming together. I’ll share more details as soon as possible, so stay tuned!

Let me know what you think about the updates by leaving a comment here or joining the official Backrooms Media Discord server. It’s the best way to stay in the loop, connect with other players, and share your thoughts directly with me!

Thanks for following along. I can’t wait to share more exciting updates with you soon!

See you next week!

Grapple Gun Improvements

• The maximum range of the Grapple Gun has been increased to match the ship’s harpoon, providing players with greater scope for traversal and various sneaky plays.
  
• The speed of a fired arrowhead is now much quicker, reducing the need for players to lead their shots and also reducing the time after a failed shot before it can be fired again.
  
• Acceleration is now increased when grappling to a solid surface, with players moving faster the further they travel.

Blowpipe Improvements

• Players can now quickly cycle through available dart types via a new keybind, Dart Radial Input. This same key can also be held to summon the full Dart Radial. By default, this is bound to ‘H’ on keyboard and Right on D-pad when using a controller – players already using these keys for other actions will need to rebind their controls to prevent issues from occurring.
  
• Players now have a choice on how the blowpipe acts when running out of a specific dart type. By default it will switch to the next type, but by using Auto Switch Dart Type in the Input Settings, players can prevent this automatic switch.

Merfruit Improvements

• Enchanted Merfruit will no longer be selected when using the food keybind to switch and cycle through food within a player’s inventory to prevent accidental eating. Uncooked Merfruit will continue to be selected when cycling through food.
  
• Enchanted Merfruit can now be placed inside Fruit Crates for safekeeping.

Mimic Dart – Delayed

• As shared in our recent State of Play, while this new ammo type for the blowpipe was announced in previous updates, it has not yet reached the quality bar where the team would be happy to release it. This feature will continue to be worked on for release in a future update.
  
• While this feature is disabled, a range of Pirates of Mischief Commendations are visible but unable to be progressed and the Lucky Hand Blowpipe, Real Dead Ringer Trinkets and Part of the Hive Title remain locked.

Safer Seas Rewards and Reputation

• Players choosing to sail on Safer Seas will now find it a more rewarding experience during their early stages of progression with the Trading Companies. Gold and reputation will now be earned at 100% (up from 30%), equivalent to their value on High Seas.
  
• To balance this, progression with each Trading Company is now capped at rank 25 (down from 40). To continue earning reputation and progress past rank 25 with a Trading Company, players will need to venture onto High Seas.
  
• While players who choose to remain on Safer Seas will be unable to climb all the way to Pirate Legend, they are still free to take on the Voyages to which they already have access and will continue to earn the same gold rewards as on High Seas.

Detection Improvements for Ban Evasion

• Starting with December’s update, detection improvements will begin rolling out behind the scenes targeting players who evade game bans to regain access to Sea of Thieves. These improvements will be deployed in phases over the coming months to systematically crack down on banned players and prevent them from returning to the seas.

• Pirates extinguishing Black Powder Darts attached to them should now consistently progress the Wash Out Commendation.

• Controller vibration has been improved while using the blowpipe, addressing incorrect feedback when aiming and reloading.
  
• Darts are now damaged by explosives, and those embedded in a target can also be damaged consistently by gunshots.
  
• Shooting a Gunpowder Barrel with a Poison Dart should no longer trigger the fuse visual effects.
  
• Black Powder Darts embedded in players should now be consistently extinguished when doused with water.
  
• The glint of a Lure Dart now appears in the same colour for all players in the session.

Crouching and Stealth

• Players hanging from the side of a ship while it dives to a Voyage or Hourglass of Fate battle will no longer find themselves stuck in a drowning state.
  
• Exiting a hanging point while crouching will no longer cause a player to equip their weapon.
  
• Players will now find it easier to hide when out of sight of common enemies and Skeleton Captains.
  
• When multiple players interact with the same hanging point simultaneously, they will now retain the ability to crouch afterwards.
  
• Cancelling the action to bail water by using crouch no longer causes the resulting splash audio effect to be heard incorrectly.
  
• Players will no longer exit crouch when picking up a Trident of Dark Tides.
  
• Exiting crouch with a stashed item will no longer result in the item appearing to intersect with the player.
  
• Players can no longer crouch while holding the fishing rod fully drawn back before casting.
  
• Players switching quickly to a lantern after crouching will no longer see the light emitted below them as if they were still crouching.
  
• Players crouching while holding items are no longer able to interact with areas of the ship such as the capstan, maintaining consistency with held items.
  
• Players crouching with an open chest will now correctly display the contents to nearby players and items can be added and retrieved.

Traps

• When disarming a loaded trap with limited inventory space, players will retrieve the trap first before any loaded items.
  
• When attempting to deploy a trap in a restricted location, players will now have the trap returned to their inventory.
  
• Players who temporarily disconnect from a session with deployed traps will now find the traps stay active for a short grace period for the player to rejoin the session before they are removed.
  
• Traps are now triggered instantly by gunshots or melee attacks, but when this sets off a chain reaction of deployed traps there will be a short delay between triggers.
  
• Players standing stationary near a trap now take the same damage as players moving when it is triggered.
  
• Traps loaded with a Jigball or Wearyball should now consistently affect the pirate triggering the trap.
  
• While below deck on a ship, players can no longer set traps through the ceiling on the floor above.

In your role as a pirate captain, you can travel the world to seek out new companions and fabulous treasures in Flint: Treasure of Oblivion. Read on to learn more about the exploration phases in Savage Level’s tactical RPG.

Built on solid turn-based combat and crew management mechanics, Flint: Treasure of Oblivion will also give players the freedom to explore. From the town and its lively streets to the pirate ship navigating stormy seas and the temple deep in the jungle, more than 20 unique locations are waiting to be discovered.

“Exploration is at the core of the experience, and it helps us strengthen the narrative dimension,” explained Johan Spielmann, Game Director. “Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is a pirate story where the key events are told through comic panels. As they investigate the various locations, players will be able to learn more about the world through environmental narration.”



Beyond the pleasure of voyaging and delving deeper into the story, exploring the world will offer a tactical advantage in Flint: Treasure of Oblivion. It brings opportunities to find and recruit powerful optional characters, or unearth weapons and treatments that can be decisive in combat. “These benefits aren’t served up on a platter,” added Johan. “The concept is kind of like ‘Where's Waldo?’ in that we want to encourage players to understand and carefully observe the world around them in order to get rewards.”

The studio Savage Level put a lot of work into the environments to make the exploration phases as enjoyable as possible. First, the locations are bustling with life, including plenty of dialogue between NPCs and random events. “Without trying to make a documentary, we wanted to immerse the players in all those everyday moments,” commented Johan.

The team also sought to get as close as possible to life as it was in the eighteenth century, including the architecture, apparel and customs. For instance, they consulted historical maps of Saint-Malo to faithfully recreate the French town, and studied boat designs at the National Navy Museum. “The idea is to get away from the romantic depictions of Hollywood, with a more authentic approach to piracy in this period,” explained Johan.



Lastly, the scenery in Flint: Treasure of Oblivion was painstakingly created by the artists, in Unreal Engine 5, to offer recognizable visuals and masses of detail. “We wanted to make sure that players will feel no inconsistency as they move from reading the comic panels to exploring the three-dimensional world,” Johan told us. “So each medium has a strong artistic identity, and a wealth of detail that players can get lost in.”

Savage Level has pulled out all the stops with the environments to immerse you in the Golden Age of Piracy like never before. “We want to encourage players to be curious, to explore everything, and to find each detail in the story,” summed up Johan.

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve formed a bundle with Trek to Yomi!

With their feudal Japanese settings, cinematic visuals, and epic mythical storytelling, The Spirit of the Samurai and Trek to Yomi felt like a natural fit to form this action-packed bundle.



The Spirit of the Samurai x Trek to Yomi Bundle includes:

The Spirit of the Samurai, a 2D stop-motion action adventure where you’ll get to play as three separate characters: the samurai Takeshi, his kitten Chisai, and the forest spirit Kodama. Traverse through beautifully realized 2.5D landscapes, fight against an army of horrifying monsters inspired by Japanese mythology, and take on the demonic Oni to save your village from total destruction.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1507120/The_Spirit_of_the_Samurai/

Trek to Yomi, where you take on the role of the young swordsman Hiroki. As a vow to his dying master, Hiroki is sworn to protect his town and the people he loves against all threats. Faced with tragedy and bound to duty, the lone samurai must voyage beyond life and death to confront himself and decide his path forward.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1370050/Trek_to_Yomi/

If you already own The Spirit of the Samurai or Trek to Yomi, you’ll still be able to take advantage of the bundle. Instead of buying the full bundle, however, you’ll be given the option to complete the set and receive a 10% bundle discount on the other games, which will stack with any other discounts that are available on the games at the time!
