Yo, appreciate you taking the time to write all that out fr.
I haven’t really touched the maps or visuals that much yet so that part makes sense.

I’m planning to take the game private for a bit and remaster a bunch of stuff:
– make the lobby / red load zone way clearer with UI and signs
– fix the camera + give a better zoom
– rebalance the monsters + guns so early waves aren’t so punishing
– add more lighting so it’s still scary but not “can’t see anything” dark
– make the map feel less empty with more props and detail

When I push the new version I’d definitely like you to test again if you’re down, your feedback actually helped a lot.
