## Dev Notes

Hey Everyone,

For this patch we’ve focused on improving our stealth gameplay. Enemies will now search for you and you can use the many bushes, rocks and trees to hide behind and evade them. (hint, use Crouch!)

We’ve also introduced weapon upgrading, a new animal (deer) and a bunch of other tweaks and improvements.

As always, please continue to post your bug reports and feedback in the Discussions area of the Community Hub or send them in to support@endnightgame.com.
