KoishBox

KoishBoxMerger of "Koishi" and the game genre "sandbox" (known prior to public release as koibox) is a "game" (more akin testing environment) created with the intent to allow players to beta-test and provide feedback regarding upcoming updates to Find the Koishis II.
== Premise ==
KoishBox consists of one level, named Kstruct, which is heavily based on the map gm_construct from the sandbox video game Garry's Mod, albeit somewhat withered down due to the nature of FTK2's game design.
Despite the presence of an elevator, players do not spawn falling from the elevator shaft, and appear just beyond the entrance doors. Koishis are summoned with the Spawn Menu, active since January 26, 2024.
== Development ==
KoishBox replaced an earlier game known as "ftkspawn" which was used for the development of Koishis in a safe and enclosed environment away from the main games. KoishBox was released to the public on Monday, January 8, 2024 with intent to provide players some insight into what was created for the upcoming The Show Must Go On update.
The purpose of KoishBox is for debugging, bug-hunting and player response to upcoming content without the need to shovel it into the game and hope for the better. The game is planned to be updated for future updates, with content kept so that it can evolve into a more fully-defined sandbox.
== Trivia ==
* The oldest icon of KoishBox references the album covers of KPM Music, a stock music record label responsible for the song "Lazy Sunday" by Duncan Lamont which serves as a replacement track in the event an audio is removed for copyright reasons.
** The current icon is a more direct reference to the sandbox video game Garry's Mod.
* KoishBox is updated at a more frequent rate than FTK2 due to development priority. After all, it is currently serving as the dev-testing center for things planned to be thrown into FTK2.
* The idea of a sandbox level for FTK has been in the works for a while now, where players can practice and strategize safely without threat of proper death. Due to this, Koishbox is also nicknamed "Koishi's Mod" or "KMod".
* An early name for Koishibox was simply "KBOX", but this was scrapped due to sounding like an awful game console.
