  🏥 UPDATE 1.0.0.14: The Visual Ascension & Vitality 🏥

  Greetings, survivors! The darkness in the hospital just got a lot more detailed—and more dangerous. We’ve been working hard to optimize your nightmare, and Version 1.0.0.14 is officially LIVE! 🚀🌟 WHAT’S NEW? 🌟💎 SM6 Support Integrated: We’ve officially moved to Shader Model 6! This means better performance for Nanite and more realistic lighting for your 4K horror experience. 🕯️🛡️ Vitality & Protection Light: You aren't just hiding anymore. We’ve added a new health system where light acts as your protection. Stay in the glow to survive; linger in the dark at your own peril. 💓🔦⚠️ Photosensitive Epilepsy Safety: Player safety is our priority. We have integrated a formal Photosensitive Epilepsy Warning and adjusted specific light frequencies to ensure a safer experience while maintaining the horror vibe. 🚫⚡⚙️ Medium Settings are BACK: You asked, we listened! We’ve added a balanced "Medium" preset so more players can survive the hospital without losing that signature creepy atmosphere. 🖥️🌌 Atmospheric Overhaul: We’ve tweaked the volumetric fog and lighting to make every hallway feel more oppressive and immersive. Don't look behind you. 👻🛠️ Tech Fixes: Updated our internal build tools for maximum stability on Windows 10 & 11. No more crashes at the finish line! 🛠️📝 PATCH NOTES v1.0.0.14 📝\ Photosensitive Epilepsy warning screen on startup. ✅\ Vitality health bar and Light Protection logic. ✅\ New Scalability options for low-to-mid range GPUs. ✅\ Optimized 4K texture streaming for smoother movement. 🏃‍♂️\ Enhanced Steam Integration and Overlay stability. 🔗⚠️ A NOTE TO PLAYERS: Because of the jump to SM6, the first time you launch the game, Steam might take a moment to "Process Shaders." This ensures you have 0 stutters while running for your life! 🏃‍♀️💨Thank you for being part of the journey. Keep those flashlights charged... you're going to need them. 🔦💀- The Not My Child Team
