No comment about the map in the dev update?
The new map seems pretty universally disliked for a multitude of reasons. I find it odd that this wasn't even mentioned in the dev update.
Can we expect any changes to the map before the chapter is released? If not, what is the rationale?

Way too much visual clutter. New killer was horrible to use on that map.
Not sure about the gameplay aspect... couldn't see 😛

1) Headaches and nausea caused by the new map
2) Difficulty in tracking scratchmarks, regardless if the player is colorblind
3) Clutter being bumped up to like 500%, which makes tracking survivors even more difficult
4) Ground clutter sometimes being huge, blocking way too much of the screen, and also makes it more difficult to track survivors
5) Sound occlusion issues with tracking survivors, due to clutter being bumped up to like 500%, so survivors are very often not in line of sight, or separated from the killer by multiple line of sight blockers.
6) Too many colors on the new map, and too much red on the new map, which causes eye stain when trying to follow red scratchmarks and red pools of blood.

oh great another map with random ######### everywhere. Going to be super fun for killers. Can’t wait to see how many invisible obstructions I run into with Billy or Bubba 🙄

I mean I always thought the aesthetic was hideous (Same for every map we've gotten after Midwich tbh) and tbh I like the idea of more clutter and moving to a more stealth based gameplay but the sound issues definitely seem like someone wasn't thinking it through lol. Thanks for letting me know

Part of the issue with more clutter was that it really messed up scratchmarks. Some of the ground clutter (low to the ground clutter) seemed like scratchmarks couldn’t appear on them, so if a survivor ran through a bunch of ground clutter, you might not get an actual scratch mark trail.
And more clutter means that if you don’t get a proper scratch mark trail, that it’s super awful to track survivors, because survivors are constantly out of the killer’s line of sight, so the killer really needs to use scratch marks to follow the survivors.

Some people complain about it being busy visually. Other people say while it is small it’s gonna be tough to find stealthing survivors.

I really hope they made some changes to it and just forgot to mention it in the dev update because trying to focus on that map was nearly impossible. It was pretty much unplayable for me on the PTB. I couldn’t track anyone (following scratchmarks was extremely difficult and there’s way too much clutter) and the colors were way too overpowering and made the map too difficult to focus on. Running loops properly was difficult on both sides because of all the clutter, sometimes I would totally miss a gap between a loop and a piece of clutter that I could go through because it all blended together way too much especially with the colors. I’m not colorblind btw.

That sucks tbh

Why would there be?
It's the same cycle as it has been since at least RPD. The map is visually a work of art but is absolutely miserable to play on as Killer.
In 8-18 months they'll rework it and make it even worse with introducing infinites or add even more random clutter to make sure Bubba and Billy won't even press M2 once during the entire match.

At least RPD didn't leave people nauseous. If they don't change anything about this map I won't play on it.
Sorry BHVR, but my health is more important to me than my opponent's or teammates' fun.

To add in to colorblind, I am colorblind. Protonopia specifically. The color of the scratch marks is the exact same shade as the floor, so I dont see scratch marks on that map. Itll be the only map I will ever DC on as Killer. I genuinely cannot play on that map. I mentioned it in feedback, but so far looks like BHVR is just gonna ignore it like they tend to do.
