Update 1.3 Live

Update 1.3 is now live! This update delivers a major overhaul to solo AI behavior, introduces dynamic comic-style action texts and catch effects, resolves collision and physics inconsistencies, and brings comprehensive multiplayer synchronization and UI refinements.

AI & Solo Mode

• Active Prey Bot Wandering: Bots now dynamically navigate the map, visit social zones, perform dance mimicry, and rotate points rather than idling.
• Smart Bot Disguise Swapping: Prey bots now monitor their boredom and skin arousal levels, actively seeking out and catching nearby NPCs to change skins and reset suspicion.
• Predator Bot Reaction to Whistles: The Predator bot now hears Whistle sound pings within hearing range, immediately turning to investigate the ping location or chasing the whistling Prey upon visual contact.
• Reliable Pathing: Resolved pathfinding interruptions that previously caused bots to freeze in place after failed move requests.

Gameplay & Physics

• Skin Arousal Fix: Fixed a bug where Prey skin arousal failed to increase during Round 1. Disguise arousal now accumulates properly from the start of the match across all rounds.
• 3/3 Crystal Prey Radar: Collecting all 3 crystals as a Prey now activates a continuous radar tracking the Predator's location, alongside an on-screen prompt to initiate a counter-attack catch.
• Deck Collision Stability: Resolved collision glitches on multi-deck cruise ship surfaces, stairs, and thin floor meshes to prevent characters from penetrating through floors or dropping into lower decks during ragdolls.
• Ragdoll Floor Clamping: Fixed an issue where shoving characters near walls, railings, or umbrellas could catapult ragdolls upward.
• Prop Interaction & Throwing: Fixed prop pickup, aiming, and throwing logic across both Host and Clients. Props no longer freeze in mid-air if a player is caught while carrying an item.
• Duel Penalty Consistency: Verified and reinforced that failing a catch QTE duel reliably deducts 1 Life from the Predator across all game modes.
• Catcher Hat Retention: Fixed an issue where the character performing a catch would lose their own equipped hat.

Visuals, VFX & Comic Aesthetics

• Dynamic 3D Comic Action Text: Added stylized comic-book pop-up lettering for abilities, shoves, catches, whiffs, QTE duel clashes, and prop impacts ( POW! , SHOVE! , GOTCHA! , CLASH! , WHISTLE! , PANIC! ).
• Overhead Post-Catch Dialogue: Caught NPCs and caught players now display comic speech lines ( "I WAS JUST CHILLING!" , "I KNEW IT..." ) locked strictly vertically above their models, remaining oriented and steady while the body ragdolls.
• Crowd Chatter: Conversing NPCs now exchange dynamic comic speech bubbles above their heads when meeting in crowds.
• Catch Connection Splatter: Added continuous fluid splatter bursts that spray from the character connection socket throughout the catch animation.

Audio & Multiplayer Replication

• Predator Heartbeat Proximity: Proximity heartbeat audio now replicates and plays accurately regardless of whether the Predator is played by the Host or a connected Client.
• Spatial Skill Audio: Hypnosis, Panic, and Whistle audio cues now trigger reliably in 3D space across all clients.
• Prop Audio Sync: Sound effects for picking up, charging, and throwing physical props now play synchronously across all connected players.

UI & Quality of Life

• Interface & HUD Polish: Complete refactor of UI/Menus design.
• Full Scoreboard Visibility: Fixed an issue where spectator or caught players would disappear from the live scoreboard on client screens. All 4 match participants now remain visible at all times.
• Text Formatting: Resolved overlapping text in the "How To Play" guide and settings menus across all supported aspect ratios.
• Multi-Language Support: Complete text, badge, and guide localization maintained across all 10 supported languages with full gamepad and keyboard navigation.

Just the beginning!

We will work on future updates as well as on our Major Update with new modes and maps. At this stage we want to succeed in stability and visual identity of all the elements of OSB.
