Hello everyone! Wanted to make a quick post regarding spectator deathmatch. As some of you may know, the server used to have a spectator deathmatch add-on however it was removed. One issue was that the Traitor and Detective Turrets would target spectator's within the deathmatch causing them to technically be able to kill living players. This topic was brought up mid-2020 and was tested however the issue was still occurring and the general consensus was that players preferred keeping the two turrets.
However earlier today we decided to add the spectator deathmatch add-on to the test server and found, to our surprise, that the issue regarding the turrets seems to be nonexistent. Turrets no longer target spectators which opens up a question of if this is something the player base would be interested in returning. There have been concerns regarding server performance which are quite difficult to realistically test with an 8 population server so I am currently reviewing options for further testing to make sure a possible re-addition of spectator deathmatch would be possible.
Nothing is obviously set in stone of course, as I just added spectator deathmatch to the test server yesterday. The last thing I wanna do is break something. That being said, what are your thoughts regarding the possibility of spectator deathmatch returning to the server?
