Well, for sure it'd be interesting to see how that pans out. WW3RP and FTRP had solid overlap with what majority of neb could access, and those didn't last as long as hoped. Not that I don't want you guys to do new things, but I worry anything outside GmodRP only gets a fraction of the playerbase involved.

I'd rather pursue new ideas and only get a fraction of the player base interested than be stuck continually working in a 14 year old game with a declining user base. I'll make what I find enjoyment in regardless of the reception.

New ideas in the brain of a well creative and smart individual are 1000x better then a well creative and smart individual making something of a well used idea

There's also nothing wrong with making something that's heavily inspired by an existing idea. I want HL2 RP to continue succeeding but I'm more interested in moving forward to something different.

Lots of people think that S&box is an opportunity for a next generation of HL2 RP but that seems kinda silly.

if s&box gets a new generation of teens and others into the whole trademark "gmod" style sandbox, i rly hope we get more cool gamemodes and stuff like early gmod, instead of the stagnating "rp" derivatives that dominate the server browser nowadays

It's going to be a complete wipe of gamemodes and addons due to a different language being used, a language that's much harder to learn than lua which means far less people able to develop with it.

There's some really deluded people that see S&box as their opportunity to 'beat' me as if we were in some kind of ego battle but as much as I wanted to be interested in it.. I'm just not, it feels like a continuation of what's already been done without any real incentive to do it all over again.

Edit: Plus, fuck that drama.

The existing idea, to me at least. Could be literally just about anything. It was the same with WW3RP being the general idea of West vs. East of that time period. And I think personally that a modified idea of HL2 could appeal to more people.

I enjoyed HL:A a lot, and it make me more interested in the HL universe because it contained a lot of references to real life history, which allowed me to more associate myself and feel more engrossed in the general lore and story.

Same thing for things like the STALKER series, we all know of the Chernobyl disaster. But STALKER took that historic event and expanded on it in a fictional book series and then video game series.

I still think HL storylines and universes still got a lot of potential, but with like WW3RP, it’s been used in the same sort of idea and setting for so long it’s just not as appealing as it once was for all of us.
