Hei :)
This gonna be a short one compared to previous ones and won't show a lot of new stuff, so if you only care about that you may stop reading NOW.
So, Gasmask Citizen 22 currently has 2 finished builds. By builds I mean like playtesting versions of the mod that are not meant for public. Obviously I was working on build 3, but... that one thing that I talked about in the previous post happened... the part where I said I really dislike the early maps the mod has because they're pretty old and look quite basic (and in some parts gameplay was straight kush smoking developer type beat).
Introducing... Build 2.5 (or Build 2.9).
So yes, I fully decided to commit to fleshing out and truly FOR REALS this time finish those maps and be happy with them. One of the major reasons for this is the fact that playtesting discord server is playtesting new maps on a GC22 build from like very very early 2022, which is kinda messed up ngl, I made a lot of changes since then, so I'm doing this to have a much more recent build to then playtest actual new maps on.
I've already began work on this since May (somewhere around May 10th to be more precise). So far, I've finished 2 maps. Here's some screenshots of one of the finished maps, it will be a comparison between old and new.
I want to try to finish this all up this year and release it for playtesters, then fully focus on new maps. Now.. about the discord server. I'm not sure if I'll have a invite link to it up when this new build releases because I feel like the server already has a decent amount of people in it, having to actually moderate people sucks I'd rather place blocks in a old level editor software. But thankfully, so far people there have been chill. Big thankies to playtesters :)
If the server's gonna be open again I'll create another post with a link in it for sure though.
One more thing I'm thinking about since probably 2023 is creating a demo, a short one, around 40 minutes maybe. It's on my mind, sometimes I go from yea that'll be great to hell no. Good idea? Yes? No? Who knows. Perhaps YOU know.
And just for fun, I'll chuck a full gameplay video of that map I showed above. Tho keep in mind that the version being played in this video is already outdated a little bit (and is slightly buggy, like the some metrocops having no texture). As always, do not watch if you don't wanna spoil yourself.
(fun fact: an image from this map was used for the first ever article for gc22)
It looks better already.
