Experimental builds are intended for testing and evaluation of new gameplay and map features. +The current experimental builds are specifically for testing the following new features:
+For details about the individual features, refer to the links above. +If you encounter bugs with the new features, please report them by commenting on the respective Pull Request linked above +or in the #bugs channel on our Discord server. +If you encounter bugs unrelated to the new features, please report them by opening an issue on GitHub +or in the #bugs channel on our Discord server.
+Maps making use of these experimental features cannot be officially released until the features have also been finalized and released. +However, at the same time, these features require feedback from map testers before they can be released, +in order to reduce the likelyhood of any gameplay bugs in the final released features and to avoid feature bloat. +To release an individual, experimental feature, it is required that at least one pilot map is developed and ready to be released, +which is up to DDNet's map standards and covers most, if not all, reasonable uses of the new feature. +While you can also test experimental features in combination with each other to find any potential issues, +each pilot map should only make use of exactly one experimental feature to test and showcase it. +Depending on the feedback from map testers, these features may be changed before being released. +Features may also not be released at all if they do not work out as expected or if they are not compelling enough for a pilot map.
