📝 Major Update 0.3 — Co-Op Clarity & Sharper Fear

Summary: Update 0.3 improves co-op coordination with client-side note collection and objective tracking, refines scare and presence systems, adds an FOV slider, improves flashlight clarity, and fixes key stability issues.

🧭 Co-Op & Objectives

🔑 Change🌟 Why It MattersClients Can Collect NotesDocument progress now counts no matter who finds the note, so teams are no longer bottlenecked by the host.Compass Tracks Teammates & ObjectivesSplitting up and regrouping is easier—see allies and goals at a glance while keeping the team moving.Extra Objective at Spawn FixedThe phantom task that could appear at the beginning of a match has been removed.

😱 Fear & Presence Systems

• Working Scare Effect: Scares no longer trigger at the beginning of a match. Timing and gating have been corrected so they land when they should.
• “Living Presence” Tuning: Detection range has been reduced for a cleaner signal, and nearest-presence detection now matches correctly between clients and the server.

🔦 Gear & Settings

• Improved Flashlight: Better visibility and more reliable targeting in darker spaces.
• Camera FOV Slider: Adjust your preferred field of view directly in-game—no INI editing required.

🛠️ Fixes & Stability

• Fixed an extra objective appearing at the start of a match.
• Fixed clients not registering as a “living presence” when close to another player.
• Tightened the presence indicator range so it is more accurate and useful.
• Addressed notes falling through the floor on clients during generation; we are continuing to monitor edge cases.

🧭 Known Issue / Next Up

• Enemy AI Improvements: We are actively working on making enemies smarter, more responsive, and more threatening.
