Hello Lifeguards!

We've just released a new update for the Lifeguard Simulator demo! This patch focuses on improving gameplay, fixing bugs, and making the overall experience smoother and more enjoyable. Thank you to everyone who played the demo and shared feedback—it helped us identify and fix many of the issues reported by the community.

What's New?

🌊 Gameplay Improvements

  • Improved jet ski physics with smoother handling and movement that is no longer affected by FPS.

  • Added protection against vehicles tipping over.

  • Reworked the swimming and water exit system, fixing issues that could cause the player to fall beneath the map.

  • Added automatic player teleportation if you somehow end up outside the playable area.

🎮 Quality of Life

  • Added the ability to skip the intro.

  • New narrator options: choose between the classic retro voice or disable narration entirely.

  • Improved the visibility of button prompts with updated colors.

  • Fixed cursor issues in menus and prevented binoculars from being used while navigating the UI.

🎨 Visual Improvements

  • Added illustrations to mission objectives.

  • Introduced new UI icons.

  • Improved the water texture.

  • Added white birds to the beach and a new sports competition poster to make the environment feel more alive.

🤖 NPC Fixes

  • Fixed several issues causing unnatural NPC behavior.

  • NPCs will no longer perform strange movements or appear to "swim" in mid-air.

🛠️ Stability & Tools

  • Added a new Bug Reporter system, making it easier to send bug reports directly from the game.

  • Added a What's New panel on the main menu to keep players informed about the latest changes.

  • Fixed an exploit that allowed players to cheat during the pull-up exam.

  • Implemented numerous technical fixes and general stability improvements.

Thank You!

This update is another step toward making Lifeguard Simulator the best experience it can be. We're continuing to work on new content, additional features, and further improvements based on your feedback.
