📈 Learning/Growing Pains: Whenever we push an update to our installer (SH2EEsetup.exe) we get it scanned and cleared by Windows Defender. Historically, it would take a few hours to a few days for it to clear and we'd be good. It appears that their analysis process... 1/4

It's also good practice to ensure the SHA-256 of the file you downloaded is exactly the same as the one provided on the site you downloaded from (assuming the site is trustworthy). It's always good practice to do this, when possible.

Now, all of that to say: We pushed out an update to Xidi (modern controller support) for the project a few weeks ago and will be pushing a new update for it soon (for Window 7 support). We'll discuss in more detail what this Xidi update provides in our project update video (TBD).

... appeal of this verdict and it looks as though the program was properly reviewed by a human (like how it used to be) and now the update to the installer is correctly cleared via Windows Defender's definitions. Be sure to update Defender to the latest definitions... 3/4

... to remove any false positive warnings about the installer. You'll still get warnings about the file being from an 'Unknown Publisher'--that's because we aren't going to spend hundreds of dollars a year for a code signing certificate. Thanks for your patience with this. 4/4

One of my favorite spots in the town for SH2 is a place that's out of bonds. A nice wooden fence, lattice walls, and Rectangle Dog graffitied on the wall. Rectangle Dog is the coolest. I bet he and Mira would be friends...

The "Restaurant Lake Shore" sign doesn't appear in the alternate Hotel (right before the final fight), but a texture for it exists. It *might* say: この中に 文字のデザイン よろしゅうたのみます。 Translated: "In here, I kindly ask you to handle the lettering / text design."

Here's something fun I don't think we shared before: For recreating Amy's birthday card, we went to the dollar store, bought a pack of crayons, and recreated it. Add a border and some "grunge" on top via Photoshop and you got yourself a birthday card worthy to be in Silent Hill!

Here's some behind-the-scenes magic in animating Mira's control center. The approach was a bit unconventional due to constraints. We'll have one more cool animation change to share tomorrow. Any guesses? (Hint: We did tease all of these in the past!)

Everyman James has the marksmanship of an everyman shooter. And can you blame his nervous shots when firing at a Red Pyramid Thing? Here soon, the closet slats will break apart as he shoots. The damage to them is even timed/aligned on a per-shot basis!

This is a good reminder to always practice safe Internet practices, including downloading from official/source sites. Whether it be Silent's excellent GTA patches, our own project files, or anything else online.
PSA: It has come to my attention that an "unofficial" SilentPatch website under the address »silentpatchgta [dot] com« distributes malware disguised as an "installer". THE ONLY official downloads for SilentPatch are available on github.com/CookiePLMonster/S…, silentsblog.com/ and my GTAForums thread, all of which link back to GitHub. I cannot guarantee safety of any other sources. Please stay safe and exercise caution if you see any SilentPatch downloads on different websites!!!

SH2's Obsidian Goblet model always looked off compared to its inventory image. Interestingly, the snake texture is indeed there (and incorrectly seen on the bottom of the cup). Using what's seen in the texture, a new goblet can be modeled referencing what's there on the texture.
