Darkness is one of our fears as humans. It is dark, obscure, mysterious, and it can even be PNGs that hunt players once we enter their territory. And that is what I mentioned in the 1.3 update for Backrooms nextbots, a world plunged into darkness, and you need to rely on flashlights in certain situations. Here are all the major changes in the 1.3 update, The Darkness Update:
THE NEW LIGHTING
Backrooms now look a lot more realistic. With "Future" lighting, Backrooms are darker than before, flashlights now only shine in a specific area, and player shadows are visible.
REWORK ALL NEXTBOTS
All nextbots in the game have now been upgraded to version 1.2 for improved intelligence. Nextbots can now jump over obstacles to reach the player and move much more smoothly than before.
DECORATION
Compared to the old Backrooms, a Backrooms with nothing but walls, nextbots, and that's it. Now, Backrooms have some new props, small structures or sprays (depending on the Level).
SAFEZONE
This little green zone will help you avoid taking damage from nextbots. The safezone will help you survive if you need it (except Level 5).
FIRST-PERSON VIEW
Backrooms nextbots is now a first-person game. You will have a completely new experience with a first-person perspective, focusing on horror, puzzle elements. When you die, you will return to third-person perspective to show you what your own ragdoll looks like :).
FOOTSTEPS SOUND
Are you tired of the default footsteps in Roblox? With the 1.3 update, the default footsteps are completely removed, and a lot of new footsteps are added to the game. Depending on where you are standing, different footsteps will be played (for example, "carpet", "wooden floor", ...)
BADGES
After almost 3 years, Backrooms nextbots finally have Badges for everyone to hunt. In this update, I have added 10 Badges to the game and will add more in the future; those 10 Badges include:
- Welcome!
- First death!
