Happy Halloween everyone!
The pressure has been building for an exciting new update!
Toxicity Part 1
This update pushes out not just new content, but also a huge dump of performance upgrades!
First, let's look at the performance update.
The intro scene and the initial spawn building were experiencing a form of constipation, causing the frame rate to dip, dramatically.
-- This has been corrected.
Furthermore, the entire map has received a performance update.
These performance updates include improvements in visual appearance, shadows, lighting, and overall frame rate.

Community: So, the game has improved. Woo-hoo! But wait, didn't you say something about new content?
PressureWithin: Don't worry, we're getting to that.

A mysterious toxic cloud causing a cancerous infection of the land has appeared. Beware, traveler, the spores of the cloud can kill a man if inhaled for too long.
New content added -
PressureWithin Map - This is the classic map. A new infection is spreading throughout the city, attaching itself to buildings, foliage, and houses creating new obstacles.
A new toxic cloud has been added that roams across the land obstructing your vision.
-Staying in this cloud for extended periods of time is not recommended.

That's not all!
The new Survival Mode comes with a Daytime map and, for the discerning ladies and gents, **Drum Roll** a Nighttime map. Dun-dun-dun!
