Hey guys,
I finally got another update ready for you. Took me a bit longer than I expected but I hopefully managed to make a lot of good improvements and changes.
I also created a tiny video to show some of the new features:

BAM Royale
- Lots of performance improvements
- Current BAM Royale map has been improved a lot by the author mrtokyo and is now called br_mrtokyos_island
- Ability to pull chute early has been disabled
- The knife will spawn with a delay of ~6 seconds after you hit the ground (all people receive the knife at the same time though)
- Improved some collision volumes for some buildings to prevent objects passing through geometry
- Tried to reward winning player a bit more
- Attempt to fix an issue when grenades have been reset instead of exploding
- Added canted rail attachment to the lootable attachments
BAM Royale - Spectating Mode
- Added names above lines (possible to toggle on/off)
- Fixed an issue when players spawned into spectating mode instead of the game world
- Using your other controller touchpad you can now change your size (up/down) and change between players (left/right)
- Inventory is now disabled when spectating
- Added ability to change speed
- Normalized speed for all scales
- Fixed some other weird and annoying stuff
General
- Fixed trigger inconsistency on all open bolt guns
- Falling from a higher distance (i.e. freefall in BAM Royale) is now showing players in a prone position
- Magazines show the number of rounds left while holding them
- You can now press and hold(!) the magazine release button and grab the magazine out of the gun (easier than trying to catch it)
- Reduced amount of fall damage and increased the threshold when it is applied
- Lots of other tiny fixes
The next thing I will improve is the ability to mute players, change voice volume, mute yourself and so on. Especially considering that now that we got a permanent death mode an ability to make those changes at any time is needed more than ever.
I know that you guys also requested even more stuff like proximity chat, teaming up, vehicles, a more high quality map to just name a few. All this and a lot of other requests are already on my list and will be worked on, of course.
For now I think the improvements made to the BAM Royale map are making a huge difference already. Mrtokyo really has done a great job. Beside changed geometry he also added some more spawns for loot that sums the total number of objects you can find in a round to slightly over 500 objects.
Definitely check it out. However a completely new map is already in the work as well. This takes a lot of time though.
However you are all be heard and I really appreciate all your feedback and your support. Please keep it coming!
By the way we also got a Wiki now that you might find interesting and maybe you even want to help adding more and more content to it (a lot of stuff still needs to be added). You are all invited to participate:

If you haven't joined our Discord channel yet you also might want to consider this to have even more influence on the development process or just to organize playing times on not so populated regions like the Australia server:

Alright. Thank you guys so much. More coming soon! Have a nice day and take care!
