History of Databrawl/2017

October 2017
The first playable version of Databrawl was opened on October 16, 2017 by DuncanDunclub and co-created by Saezi. When it was first created, it was considered the beta stage of the game, therefore it was titled "Databrawl [BETA]". However, much later on, Databrawl's earliest stages were referred to as the "Alpha" stages by the developers and the community, despite Databrawl never having "Alpha" in its title at any point.

The four base Data-species (Virus, Malware, Program, Firewall Security) were all present as playable teams, with Firewall Security only being playable through a gamepass purchase that unlocked the team.

During Databrawl's earliest stages, it had a much simpler map, much fewer weapons (perhaps only the Baseball.bat and the Firewall.bat), simpler building designs, and other differences from the current Databrawl.

Databrawl also had a songlist, which could be allowed to play songs handpicked by DuncanDunclub and Saezi automatically, or players could manually select which song from the songlist they wanted to play. Some of these songs were copyrighted, as the ROBLOX audio copyright system had not been present at this point in time.

November 2017
At some point during November 2017, the Main Menu was redesigned to include character icons, which were added to spruce up the appearance of the menu. At some point around late November - early December 2017, the map was changed to a larger, more complex one, and over time the designs of buildings grew a bit more detailed. Additional weapons were added, mainly for the two Corruption teams, Virus and Malware. More songs were also added to Databrawl's songlist.

Additionally, on November 30, 2017, Mines were fully added to the game. They would spawn in a specific location on the map, between the Inception Antivirus base and the Motherboard Statue, which was a placeholder brain tower in the center of the Fire Pit at this time.

Prior to when Mines had been fully implemented, they were a tool that Saezi (and presumably also DuncanDunclub) could use for testing purposes.

December 2017
Databrawl had a Christmas event which changed green "grass-like" spots of the map to white, changed the skybox to a dark icy-blue color, added festive streamers around the buildings, and added snow particles falling from the sky.
