Got another update today! Made some decent progress on various systems, with a lot of time going into getting the voice chat working as well as possible. I'm also really pleased with the new level, as it leans into procedural systems more. I plan to create other procedural levels soon, since it's unlocked a lot of ideas. On the devlog side, I've written the script for the next one which I'm planning to make a bit different from some of the other devlogs. It may take a bit longer to come out, as it'll involve some different editing and props.
Also! I've created an official Discord for The Empty Halls, which you can join. I'll be showcasing features much more regularly there.

Microphone indicator for multiplayer voice chat
