BUILD: V0.7, WASABI, DATE: JANUARY, 22

DESCRIPTION:
First Public Build (Early Access Release), 1 Map, 2 Game Modes, 7 Weapons

TEST FOCUS:
General build and network stability (dedicated official and private servers, listen servers, LAN) and evaluating required network resources, weapon balance in a small, close-cornered map, UI/user-friendliness, general proof of movement principles, general feature discussion and tweaking, single-player (bot mode) testing

NEW MAP(S):
Futuristic Asian Slum Environment
(Classic Map, Designed for up to 8 Players)

NEW GAME MODE(S):
BL - Bloodlust (Deathmatch)
SA - Squad Assault (Team Deathmatch)

NEW WEAPON(S):
RA – Raven
BC – Bullcraft
FC – Falcon
CB – Cerberus
SR – Stingray
DN – Dragoneer
VL – Violator

NOTES:
For TOXIKK's public debut, we plan to highly focus on the weapons balance, tweaking the movement and establishing the most basic game modes (Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch) as everything else in the game will be pretty much based on the mechanics of these two modes. The build will also be limited to just one map, to really set a test focus and to not get reports about features and/or maps that don't focus on the above mentioned features. Another major point will be the evaluation of required network resources and infrastructure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

BUILD: V0.8, BASIL, DATE: FEBRUARY (SECOND HALF)

DESCRIPTION:
Third Major Public Build, 3 Maps, 3 Game Modes, 9 Weapons

NOTES:
This build will focus on validating the conclusions for the movement system and the weapon balance found in small, close-cornered maps as well as wide open areas with the release of a medium sized map. The Basil build will also conclude the weapons setup.

BUILD: V0.85, PARSLEY, DATE: MARCH (SECOND HALF)

Fourth Major Public Build, 5 Maps, 5 Game Modes, 9 Weapons

TEST FOCUS:
Advanced tweaking of weapon balance and movement in small, medium and large maps, final implementation of ranking system, new victory ceremony, map voting, general feature discussion and tweaking

NEW MAP(S):

Cambodia Jungle Environment
(Classic Map, Designed for up to 8 Players)

NEW GAME MODE(S):
AR – Arch Rivals (Duel)
LS - Lone Survivor (Last Man Standing)

NOTES:
This update comes with two maps: Since the weapon balance, movement system and all general features should be pretty much polished at this point, we can focus on implementing more content. The two game modes (AR and LS) are based on already implemented game modes, so we don't expect them to be too test-heavy. We also plan to address the release of the SDKK with this update, to enable the community to build own content for the game.

I don't have an issue with the map itself. The rocket launcher and shotgun are more so the issue.

Apparently the map is so small so they can see where players are gravitating on guns and also to gather weapons stats like Max damage, etc.

The biggest issues currently are the starting pistol rate of fire and damage, and the rocket launcher abundance.
