#[WIP] ♾️ The Backrooms Renewed
pastel snow
hows this coming along?
Soon, this weekend I'll test TP events, if they work I'll drop the file here so people can test it and report bugs, then I'll fix stuff and release it

Hopefully I'll have fixed lights but in the worst case, there'll just be no exit to the backrooms lol
I really forgot to make one, my bad
I'll try to add one in the weekend

What's wrong?
pastel snow
What's wrong?
I'm inspecting
pastel snow
Anyone who knows someone who'd make an icon for the mod ?
grizzled lily
Anyone who knows someone who'd make an icon for the mod ?
I could try but I’m not too good of an artist
pastel snow
no worries, I'll just wait for an artist to manifest 🙂
it's not urging obviously I'm not releasing it today
I'm fixing networking issues
grizzled lily
pastel snow
Lights fixed !
I just need to fix the sun protection
Like this
Now, normally, if I enable "IsPlayerInsideFacility" it should be dead dark inside
Also, small issues with normals it seems
TP works !
Perfect ! TP works, and lightning as well !
pastel snow
I would like to fix the normals of the ceiling but meh..
grizzled urchin
I would like to fix the normals of the ceiling but meh..
It does look reslly weird
pastel snow
So dark wow
I don't really know how to set the lighting in a better way
pastel snow
It does look reslly weird
yeah that's unfortunate but for now we'll have to cope with it
I'd like to address the issue of fire exits
lol
oh and I forgot to change the lights-off material
Freecam is so hard to deal with
I would like to fix the navmesh.. But it will be for later
grizzled urchin
Veld just wants to post the mod hehehe
pastel snow
it's been months 
okay I found the fix for the normals
I just fixed it
It was using TangentSpace instead of ObjectSpace for normals
I add an exit door and we're done
Will TP to the ship for now
Hmm I wonder how I'll manage to add it
grizzled lily
I would like to fix the navmesh.. But it will be for later
I could only imagine entities spawning in the backrooms like the Bracken
I’d lose my mind lmao
pastel snow
I could only imagine entities spawning in the backrooms like the Bracken
no there will only be a custom entity
grizzled lily
Smiler right
pastel snow
nah another one
grizzled lily
OH?
pastel snow
I'll make another entity
grizzled lily
The anticipation
pastel snow
I didn't find the smiler very scary
grizzled lily
slenderman
pastel snow
Entity won't be for 1.0 though
pastel snow
~~slenderman~~
I think I'll make the one that crawls like we see in some found footages
This one but much larger
This one precisely
pastel snow
Release next weekend I think
pastel snow
I had improved them a bit, you were there, but I just can't find the correct color
And I need to find a better carpet

The bacteria
pastel snow
The bacteria
It's its name ?
grizzled urchin
At least the one gave by the community
pastel snow
Can't rush perfection
It's not a big deal to release an incomplete version for the v1.0.0
grizzled urchin
Because of how it was made
With beanie we have a few theories as to what it could be, but yeah in the videos they kinda explain that entire black stufd is like a bacteria made from flora or smrh like thst i dont exactly remember
pastel snow
Hmm maybe I should create my own creature then
grizzled urchin
WHY
pastel snow
The image of a human being that, because of mental insanity, turned completely in a monster, even physiologically
grizzled urchin
I mean i dont wanna say much since you still havent seen the movie
But thats kiiiinda what the bacteria is
grizzled urchin
Nyehehehe
pastel snow
We plan to watch it with my friends in Lyon next weekend
eager elm
Just do a block of @grizzled urchin with coilhead AI
pastel snow
Just do a block of <@373484896565460992> with coilhead AI
Lol
grizzled urchin
Both looked red
eager elm
Uh uh, just plug when you're gonna plug 🤣
grizzled urchin
ILL DELETE IT
grizzled urchin
pastel snow
But yeah regardless I want to give some real lore to these backrooms
Also, I'll start proliferating cell variants
With pillars, holes in the ground, thicker walls, etc...
grizzled urchin
Is the lore tied to some idea of the backrooms or is it completely unique to your vision?
pastel snow
I should also make a tile rule system
pastel snow
Is the lore tied to some idea of the backrooms or is it completely unique to you...
I don't know if it's the idea of backrooms but it's something I imagined for the backrooms, maybe my imagination tends to join the general idea
I'll try to synthesize it, let me take my laptop
grizzled urchin
Nah yeah thats what i mean
Because backrooms doesnt have a concrete storyline
There are multiple interpretations of it
The wiki one, kane one, the insanity one, and the wiki alone breaks into multiple other stuff
pastel snow
would be my own intepretation but it's definitely based on everything i saw
grizzled urchin
From what you have said, it does feel like it is your own interpretation, taking a few stuff from kane and the insanity one
Hehe
Insanity one being that there are no monsters, just the place, you get crazy because of the repetition, the endless of it all, the constant noise, the lack of human connection
pastel snow
I'm not a hardcore fan of Backrooms so I don't have a fix idea, but I really have a deep and heavy idea of the backroom lore I want to implement
it's completely optional to the player btw
pastel snow
only dedicated players will achieve to connect the points
I had a few ideas: If you're in solo, and you get into the backrooms, the moon time will completely stop
and uh
grizzled urchin
I remember that you wanted to have like an achievement of looking at a scene or smth for like 2 minutes hehe
pastel snow
no that's the main "new" idea i had
pastel snow
I remember that you wanted to have like an achievement of looking at a scene or ...
yeah completely useless but makes it somewhat deep i guess
grizzled urchin
We convinced you to lower it down but idk if you ended up doing that
pastel snow
"Stare Into Death and Be Still"
pastel snow
We convinced you to lower it down but idk if you ended up doing that
it's not even implemented yet, but I think we reduced it to 10s or something
Without moving at all
grizzled urchin
Ye hehehe
pastel snow
I'll share some bit of the lore I was imagining for the mod
pastel snow
Long long ago, not even Zeekers know when, some assets, gods know how many, happened to end in the backrooms. This phenomenon was not documented as it only happened to a very few, and the company doesn't really care about lost employees anyway.
The previous assets who came by, but also maybe other people, not related to the company, fell in the backrooms with their items. However, not a single victim had already met another. Only what remained of them: their items. No bodies, the Backrooms are perfectly clean, besides chairs, tables, paper, pens, spray paint, and various scraps of assets who unfortunately happened to clip in the backrooms.
Some may have tried to live there, as they abandoned exiting these.
Some have been able to exit the backrooms.
Apparently, The Backrooms remove needs like hunger and thirst, so nobody has ever died from starvation.
Some have ceded to dementia, insanity or such.
Maybe most of Those Who Were Here Before.
The entity that lives here looks nothing like a human... But how did it get there ?
What is this place ? Why does it exist ? What does it represent ? Who built this place ? Where is it ?
All these questions will be answered thanks to artifacts that can be found on various cell variants of the backrooms. Some may have papers, where you can read notes left by Those Who Were Here Before.
Some may have left writings, written with red spray paint, what was going through their ill minds.
Some may have left notes of their understanding of this world, with proofs that they tried to see what's outside, to understand what this place is. To understand what the entity is.
Some may have left artifacts of their last day in this world.
pastel snow
After I'm done with a satisfying version of this mod, by that, understand once I'm done with the entire LEVEL 0 and the entity, I'll start working seriously on my old project CONCEALED COMPANY
Backrooms Renewed progressed at a very good pace when I wasn't stuck by the lighting, and it will be going fast again, trust me
Backrooms Renewed will be left open to other contributors to add new Backrooms Levels to their wishes :)
pastel snow
Obviously all the stuff will be added over the updates but I can guarantee 1.0.0 will have at least exits 😂

Just got back from seeing the movie
9/10
Only thing that tripped me up was I got motion sick on one of the scenes but super thrilling

Tbh I didn’t think of it
Should have because there was this one maintenance door propped open
Light was flickering too.
Oh well
pastel snow
LMFAOO
grizzled urchin
when are you watching the movie veld???
pastel snow
when are you watching the movie veld???
Next weekend I believe
Also
I might add
I emphasize on might
pastel snow
Client side doors randomly having a portal to the backrooms, using same technique as #1501761071067693137
grizzled urchin
the exit of backrooms, where does it leave you?
pastel snow
Like doors you open link to backrooms for one client only
pastel snow
the exit of backrooms, where does it leave you?
Ship for now
grizzled urchin
because doors outside going to the backrooms might be weird, BUT the exit of the backrooms using immersiveentrance would be PEAK
tho tbh it depends on what the idea of these backrooms are
grizzled lily
Like doors you open link to backrooms for one client only
That’s such a cool idea.
pastel snow
because doors outside going to the backrooms might be weird, BUT the exit of the...
Yeah I definitely though about that
grizzled urchin
is it a better version of the og one?
pastel snow
Is planned
grizzled lily
How would blackout weather affect the backrooms? Like hypothetically
pastel snow
tho tbh it depends on what the idea of these backrooms are
Parallel dimension. Or more. Between worlds place
grizzled urchin
as in, you get in after taking damage/dying, so you have like a second chance?
oh so it is something else!
pastel snow
is it a better version of the og one?
No, completely remade from scratch
grizzled urchin
like the upside thingy from stranger things mod
pastel snow
oh so it is something else!
No no. The backrooms are still spawned in the world, I misunderstood your question
grizzled urchin
no yeah you understood
pastel snow
as in, you get in after taking damage/dying, so you have like a second chance?
Yeah, that's part of the events
grizzled urchin
i was asking gameplaywise
pastel snow
Gameplay wise, there're numerous different events leading to the backrooms
Clipping, death proxy, damage, ship TP, ship invert TP...
grizzled urchin
i mean the having a second chance is amazing idea
but if there are other ways of entering
what would be the point of exploring them
pastel snow
what would be the point of exploring them
I might add scrap to the backrooms but. It's just a percentage
It just happens
That's all
grizzled urchin
unless the other ways of entering are also tied to you having to get back
pastel snow
Sometimes
One chance in 1000 when you enter or leave the facility, for example
1 chance in 10 when dying, 1 chance in 100 when taking damages...
grizzled urchin
like, if you add a way for players to enter by themselves instead of random, there should be something like a reward, a reason to explore them
a unique scrap would be cool tbh
or maybe item
or smth
grizzled urchin
yeah i was more talking bout your idea of random doors leading you there
pastel snow
yeah i was more talking bout your idea of random doors leading you there
Same. That's a random event
grizzled urchin
One chance in 1000 when you enter or leave the facility, for example
btw i love this
pastel snow
A door portal randomly spawns, with a chance of, say, 1 in 1000, in the world for one player
Well in the dungeon*
grizzled urchin
yeah but like, why would you interact with it
if the only point of going in is to get out, without a reason to get in, why get in hehe
besides the achievements of course
not saying the idea is bad
sounds really cool
pastel snow
yeah but like, why would you interact with it
It's a portal. You don't interact with it, you just go through it when you pass a door, like with SeamlessDungeon
grizzled urchin
kinda like mimic exits
pastel snow
Why would you interact with it, idk by curiosity I guess
grizzled urchin
It's a portal. You don't interact with it, you just go through it when you pass ...
if you find a way to do that omg
pastel snow
if you find a way to do that omg
I'll blend Immersive Entrance and Seamless Dungeon
Planned for waaaay later though
grizzled urchin
yea yea, also that sounds like something that will make the mod depend on immersiveentrance
which not everyone would prob want
pastel snow
No
I'll do it by myself
I can't depend on another mod for that
It'll be a feature of my mod
Independently
grizzled urchin
pastel snow
I'll recode it myself
pastel snow
It won't be used exactly for the same thing sooo ..
pastel snow
but first, getting the backrooms to work!!
Yeah
As I said this is planned for much much much latee
Even after the Entity
I believe
primal jolt
So what might the exits look like for the backrooms for this mod? Like unique or just some type of thing that teleports you back.
grizzled urchin
i do wish for the backrooms to have both random wallpapers in some sections, instead of just the yellow one all over
and also some variations in light, like a few that are green or warmer, or colder
pastel snow
So what might the exits look like for the backrooms for this mod? Like unique or...
För now, it'll just be fire exits, but in the future they will change

But I did break a bone there too...
pastel snow
Oh
I thought about a new event that could TP into the backrooms
Spamming the air horn and klaxon
:3
1% chance ?
5% ?
for annoying friends
fickle flicker
maybe if you spam it a lot in a short amount of time
grizzled urchin
Seems perfect to me
I do think all of these stuff should have a config to enable or disable tho
pastel snow
of course, as any event
grizzled lily
1% chance ?
I know the old one used to have a config like that, so it could be a nice callback
pastel snow
The old one had barely any config unfortunately
pastel snow
Yeah my mate Account of Procrastination666

I made many friends along the way here now that I think about it
grizzled urchin

Shromp, s1ckboy, Robyn, Hamunii, Xu (the first person I really got along with here by the way, they helped me to start modding the game), Entity378, JacuJ, Moroxide of course, Lunxara, DarkFedora and more recently thanks to this mod, TestAccount666 and you, cheese.

I would have wanted to add the little cinematic when you TP to the backrooms using IntegrityChaos plugin
Also I'll increase the light rate cus it's really dim curently yeah
maybe i'll add a setting "Darkrooms"
that disables all the lights
except some slight ambience lights
pastel snow
oh yeah that's a good idea
by default enable, with one chance in 100 to have the darkrooms (just normal backrooms but with no lights) to spawn
Also I think I have spotted an issue, the backrooms won't dispawn after the round
I need to add a postfix for that

Just wanna let you guys know the official McDonald’s YouTube channel posted a backrooms video
clear dawn
Business as usual
pastel snow
yep
business
there will definitely not be any reference to mcdo in the mod, rest reassured
pastel snow
I'm reworking the variant randomization system, it has two passes now for better randomization and also so the cells i decided "must absolutely spawn" will still be placed in a random way

At least i think
I might be imagining things

I tried to increase light spawn amount but uh
I seem to have broken something in the generation
grizzled urchin
Nouuuu :(
pastel snow
Oooh I know what broke
Sigh, Networking is annoying
My laptop is just super duper slow
sorry for the poor quality, my laptop runs better this way
primal oak
No fucking way
pastel snow
still need to fix lights materials
primal oak
we are so back
pastel snow
No fucking way
does it look better as backrooms ?
light actually looks okay-ish to me
primal oak
does it look better as backrooms ?
What the lights?
If you mean the lights
I think they're good as they are in the two screenshots
pastel snow
unfortunately, some lights are clipping but uh...
clear dawn
Do the lights have any detail or are they white squares?
pastel snow
I think they're good as they are in the two screenshots
in both screenshots it's the same light
if you want to compare the light color, you can look at screenshots slightlier higher in the channel
pastel snow
Do the lights have any detail or are they white squares?
just white squares
for now
i had found light material but haven't implemented it
primal oak
unfortunately, some lights are clipping but uh...
Oof
pastel snow
And I won't be able to change anything related to materials and prefabs components before saturday
however, with more lights it looks much better !
Now, all I need to do is to remove randomly 15% of the walls around the map and we get a real, nice backroom !
notice that I added a slight light pointing towards the ceiling to still see a little bit the tiles
do we have the mod icon ?
grizzled urchin
Peak
pastel snow
Woah hey it looks 1000 times better on my phone's screen
It looks much whiter on my laptop screen
Okay yeah I'm really satisfied with how it looks
grizzled urchin
looks amazing!
its a bit funny/weird that the walls are so far away from one another, but i like it hehe
pastel snow

I'll reduce the room size I think
or no
I'll just use variants to place randomly walls and pillard inside these rooms to make them look smaller
grizzled urchin
yes!, variation in size would be the best!
pastel snow
the walls and room size will stay the same, however the variants will just randomly have pillars and additional walls inside the room, also holes in the floor that will just lead you to death
or TP you somewhere else in the backrooms ?
clear dawn
Would be interesting to have rooms of different scales
pastel snow
Would be interesting to have rooms of different scales
The tile/cell system just... Doesn't allow me to do that, I'd need to create a completely brand new generation system and i just can't afford doing that for now
pastel snow
The best I can do is give this illusion by making many variants that reduce the surface of the rooms
pastel snow
I do wonder if there's some way to leverage Dungen for generating it
I believe but I don't really know if I want to do that...
I'll have to see
Maybe for the 2.0
Will require to remake all the assets...
clear dawn
If you disconnect the Dungen script from the default game functions I don't see why it wouldn't work
