Now, this is not something I expect to find today. This was found at plain sight on NicoNico which is basically a Japanese youtube.

It seems I never looked at footage there before, but because other friends were looking at Fortress2 footage there I randomly typed in gunbound and there it was... Uploaded in 2019.

This is super interesting because it seems to be a Japanese client, and as far as I am aware Japan only had Japanese publishing in 2007 by Hangame, so I am still trying to figure out what this is all about.

This seems footage from a slightly later beta than either betas we have, one of the earliest clients with SS available.

The damage font is still old, but the damage stacking got implemented. Turtle appears to still walk slowly and you can also find footage of the Dragon beta map that unfortunately got lost in time currently.

3d backgrounds seems implemented at this point including moving backgrounds on some maps. Grub is finalized, and weathers have a string attached to show which weather spawns at that position, unlike our betas.

I personally believe this is also when the Season 2 songs got scrapped since it seems Adium Root got its theme song and Nirvana as well. No way to check this though.

Absolutely amazing. Trying to find out more about this possible Japanese service.
