Progress Update: AI, Balance & Liminal Backrooms

ShimStudioGames

Hello, Runners!

We are working on the next update for Backrooms Lost Runners, and this one is focused on making the game feel more balanced, more dangerous, and more liminal.

Here is what we are currently working on:

  • Improved AI behavior
  • Updated locations
  • New procedural generation for a cleaner, more original and liminal Backrooms experience
  • Procedurally generated loot, structures, boxes, and various objects inside those locations
  • Reworked loot economy
  • More reason to fight, survive, and collect better clothing
  • Clothing balance changes
  • Weapon stat balance changes
  • Stamina cost rebalance
  • Sanity drain rebalance
  • Bug fixes and stability improvements

In the new procedurally generated areas, you will be able to find different loot, boxes, structures, and other objects that make each run feel less predictable.

We also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who sends bug reports through F1. Your reports help us a lot and make it much easier for us to find and fix issues.

Thank you for playing and helping us improve the game. More news soon!
