New patch version

Most important: the new patch is live! It is a huge patch, due to a lot of map fixes / changes. We still try and keep a reduced size to the patch. All changes are made because of the time spend by our PTR team, consisting of +20 testers of the game. Thanks guys!

Changelog patch

Most important topic, please find the changelog below for more details - Tweaks on movement (basic ground movement, air control, responsiveness of keys) - Tweaks on weapons behaviour and handling (recoil - New Server Browser (still WIP), new Settings menu is being worked on - New map from new level designer Dissident: MAP-Drought (still WIP) - Added functionalities like open and close doors and gates in maps - The changelog is over 200 lines long, so we decided to put it in a seperate file

Overhaul on the TO4 Discord

Our member L4ur3ns redid the entire Discord. Remember, we keep this platform as our main communication channel - Set new roles, cleared the old roles from wrong rights and legacy stuff - Added a 'lobby' alike system where players need to fill in a command, in order to prevent bots from flooding our servers - Added a Live channel where Developpers and PTR testers show almost every evening (EU time) their constant work on the game - Added roles for the community to set themselves: do you want to get pinged with news, or for a mixwar? It's up to you! - Together with MacFrog a new channel is made where you can see the actual activity on the server (who killed who, who did what objective, etc.) - Added a Poll channel. Here we will hold polls in order to find out what the players think of certain decisions The input of this Discord change is that we want active players to be able to find each other

Route forwards and Trello

Since we are such a small team, we have a roadmap, but don't use it as 'normal' teams do. We base our to-do list on our estimate time and resources to be spend. We love to do everything we have planned, but we simply need to make choices. You can find our Trello here!Feel free to have a chat about it on Discord!

The TO4 team

It's obvious, but lets give it some attention ones more. We are always on the lookout for skilled (and experienced) developpers who love to help out. Feel free to contact us on Discord if you want to help out. Mind you; we are also looking for non-technical people, helping out on Marketing, communication, community... we can use all help!
