Version 0.8.6

Devlog — Patch Summary

This update focuses on stability, audio polishing, improved interaction systems, and environmental details to enhance immersion and gameplay feedback.

🎨 Visual & Interaction fixes

• Outline rendering fixed — Interactable trash items were treated as root objects while their renderers lived on child parts. The outline system now collects child renderers correctly so highlights display reliably.
• Trash colliders corrected — Colliders on trash/supply items were adjusted for more consistent pickup, physics and interaction behavior.
• Windows added for atmosphere — Decorative windows were placed around the player house to reduce emptiness and improve scene composition (they are purely aesthetic and do not grant view-through).

🔊 Audio & Dialogue

• Starting voice-over — Added an initial voice line for the protagonist (lead dialogue implementation still pending).
• Hallway and fuse audio — New voice lines play when the player walks down the corridor and when the fuses are blown.
• Mannequin activation voice — Added audio for mannequin activations

💥 Gameplay & Events

• Breakable window system — Implemented window breaking with sound effects. Windows can be broken manually by throwable/pickable items or triggered as part of a jumpscare event.
• Jumpscare integration — Window-breaking can now be used to trigger scripted scares; the effect is synchronized with audio and particle/FX where applicable.

🛠️ Cleanup & Quality-of-life

• Removed legacy hint UI and scripts — Simplified interaction hints and removed older hint systems to avoid confusion and improve clarity in the HUD.

Thanks for testing and reporting — this build improves robustness and polish across interaction, audio, and environmental elements. Next steps: finish full dialogue integration for the protagonist, refine mannequin activation logic, and iterate on jumpscare timing and audio mixing.
