We will not be releasing a new build this week, but we did manage to code 15+ ranged weapons for the game. We still have a few left to code, which we plan to do next week. After that we will focus on completing rest of the melee weapons, which should take us around 1-2 weeks to complete.

Most of the new ranged weapons that we have created this week do not have any art, VFX, or SFX created for them, and they won't be ready for several weeks as we are still redesigning the game. You might have noticed this if you played the 'Experimental Branch' in the past as we have started using colored spheres for bullets again.

Next week we will release a new build with some of the new ranged weapons that do have their correct art, VFX or SFX implemented. The rest of the ranged weapons will be released on final launch of the game.

After creating the ranged weapons and melee weapons, we will start focusing our skills on power-ups and specials! Yes, Akuto: Mad World will have power-ups and specials that you will be able to use during matches to give you an advantage. But we will talk more about what they are, how they will work, and when they will be released in the upcoming weeks.

Experimental Branch

[i]You can download the ‘experimental’ branch on Steam at any time by right-clicking on the ‘Akuto: Mad World’ game name on the Steam library page and selecting 'Properties' from the window that opens. From this window select the 'BETAS' tab and then the 'experimental' option from the dropdown menu (the menu labelled 'Select the beta you would like to opt into:’.

To revert back to the latest build of Akuto: Mad World, change the branch to 'NONE- Opt out of all beta programs' from the same menu.[/i]
