Community:NEXT Round
NEXT Round is a cross-platform player-versus-player game world created by Satou213. Players fight with guns in rounds, then pick cards that change the gun, movement, health, or a defensive drone.
Layout
Players spawn in a two-floor lobby. The ground floor has join cubes, a gun table, the card-pick area, score and loadout boards, and an options panel. A title sign shows first-to wins, cards per round, and how many players have joined. Stairs on the south and east sides go to the second floor. An FPS panel sits on the south wall.
From left to right, the lobby has a card BAN board, the card-pick stands, and a combined info panel. The second floor has a full card list, QvPen, an asset-credits board, spectator monitors with a camera switch, and a community board.
On a first visit, the player goes to a tutorial island with moving target bots. A photo wall behind the tutorial entrance shows the NEXT ROUND title. Warps return players to the lobby when a match is not running.
A debug island is a Patreon supporter perk. The author and listed debuggers can also enter. Players there can turn on 20 frozen cards so they enter the live draw. The credits board names Victory of Round and ROUNDS as inspiration.
Gameplay
A green box on the gun table joins the next round. The match has 10 join seats. Instance capacity is 12. The world owner can raise the match to 12 from the debug island.
The default rules are free-for-all, first to 5 round wins, 2 cards per round, and 45 seconds to pick. Starting HP is 150. The instance owner can switch free-for-all to teams (red, blue, green, yellow, purple). Options also change win count, cards per round, pick time, reroll cost, zone-shrink speed, and whether the round winner is skipped on the next pick. Casual, Normal, and Veteran presets sit on a board next to the options panel.
After each round, players pick from a random offer. Copies of the same card stack. A reroll spends round points (default 1). Supporters who are also the current instance owner can BAN cards so they leave the pool. They can also turn on free-pick, so everyone takes cards from the BAN board instead of the random offer.
The arena is a grid of map tiles. Auto size is 4 tiles at 4 players or fewer, and 9 tiles at 5 or more. 16 tiles is a manual setting. A blue safe dome shrinks during the round. Players outside the dome take damage. That damage is higher farther from the dome.
Each player has a gun with a bayonet. The bayonet hits during a dash. Laser Sword adds a blade that hits without dashing. Defense is a drone. Q on desktop, or the off-hand trigger, launches it. It flies out, stops, and returns. A ready drone glows yellow. Card text calls launching that drone a shield. Team matches use a downed state. An ally within 3 m for 2 seconds brings the player back at 30% of max HP. Later revives in the same round take longer. Team voice reaches allies regardless of distance.
The UI language switches between Japanese and English. English names below are the English card labels. Japanese names are the Japanese UI text.
Cards
There are 102 cards in Common, Rare, and Epic. 82 start in the live draw. The other 20 are frozen shield cards, marked Frozen in the Draw column. They can be turned on from the debug island. The lobby list groups them as gun, drone, movement, health, and other.
