MAPS OF THE WEEK #10

It's the end of the week, which means one thing... time for our featured maps of the week!

We had a ton of maps to review this time, as there are many new maps due to launch! We were really happy to see this, so the whole team played (and recommended) some of these maps. Our programmers, especially, were really glad to see the quality of your maps!

And without having more to say... check them out!

MAPS OF THE WEEK #9 - LAUNCH EDITION

So we have had a few major updates come out recently, and wanted to catch up on release notes for everyone to see. Firstly, we have todays client update which contains a number of fixes and improvements across the board:

• Note: New blocks will be locked for a short time before they are fully available.
  
• New Block - Timed Trigger - able to trigger channels periodically on a timer
  
• New Block - Proximity Trigger - able to trigger a channel just by having a player walk into the area without anything visible
  
• New Weapon - D357-RUC-701D - A special rocket launcher for the Desctructoid giveaway (win an Xbox One console + copy of Gunscape!)

• Fixed some typos with music names
  
• Fixed player shadows not updating correctly
  
• Fixing blocks not saving properly in the Editor when going in/out of test mode
  
• Fixed Move block not always crushing a player to death
  

• Added checks to instantly trigger a block if it was activated while a player is standing on it (e.g. standing on a disabled trap door, then it gets activated. Before it would not trigger until the player moved off and then back on to the trap door, now it will trigger immediately)
  
• Lobby player list should no longer overlap players randomly
  
• Reduced Harpoon damage from 80 down to 75, and increased stun duration from 1 to 1.8 seconds
  
• Reduced E-Bow min charge time from 0.5 down to 0.3s, and max charge time from 3f down to 1f
  
• Increasing damage from Front-on Knife attack from 5 to 15 (backstab is still instant-kill)

And also patch notes from the previous update from Early Access -> Full Launch:
