Hey everyone, I have been working hard to improve performance, so this update includes a couple of ways I have attacked it. The biggest and most obvious one you will notice, is that the next time you open up The Night Shift, you most likely will see a Shader Compilation screen before the main menu - if you don't the shaders compiled super quick on your system. I wanted to implement this earlier…
Hey everyone, Before jumping into the update note, I just wanted to thank every one of you for your continued support. Reaching out with issues, reviewing the game, telling your friends, making content from it or just privately playing... thank you. Alright, lets jump into it.

Hey all, Just a small update today, the major change in this update is a change across all shifts - batteries and painkillers now spawn depending on how many you have when starting your shift. This was previously just on set nights, but now this system will be used across all shifts. This should stop getting into a situation where you fail a shift with only a couple of batteries, and then not b…
Hey all, Just a small update today, fixing various text related issues and some situations that could cause a soft/hardlock. It also re-introduces DirectX 11 support. To note, playing in Dx11 may change the experience slightly, as the game was not built for it, so you may experience harsher lighting in environments (e.g. shadows being darker). This is something I plan to improve on, so please l…
Hey all, This update brings a big change and will force you to change your playstyles (looking at those who have been locking mannequins in the bathrooms), as you progress through the game, the mannequins will start getting smarter. They can now make their way through doors - yes, even closed ones. I've also fixed a few pesky issues that could cause players to get soft-locked in certain situati…
Hey all, Just a small update today. I have changed a few minor things, such as the flashlight flickering starting later and positioning of more items. When holding an item (e.g. computer, lamp etc) the name of the item will now show in the bottom right, for certain items this should help clear up some confusion. There are also a handful of fixes for various issues. Changes · Added text of what…
Hey all, This is a small update that fixes issues and addressing feedback that mainly effects the last night, and a couple of smaller changes. I believe these are the last major issues that effected the completion of various tasks, and endings.

Hey all, It's been a couple of days now, and I have had a lot of positive feedback. There are however a few areas where there can be some improvements, and I'm hoping that this small update is a remedy to some pain points I have noticed. A few players are restarting their shifts, or failing their shifts, due to being cornered by the very handsy mannequins. Whilst I tried fixing some of these is…
