Hi everybody, if there's even anybody interested in this. i just wanted to say, that, we won't be to deliver, what was promised, since nothing has changed since the last announcement/update, and i will explain the key factors on why.
Initial Hate Wave
Just like many titles at launch in those years, hate is always something that comes first, instead of actually reflecting on why stuff, has been delivered in a specific way. i am beating the horse to death, but this wasn't meant to be released, so i tried to savage it, but i still failed...
Because of this, People won't help us, or even contact, or talk, or even ask why, and instead, directly assume, all the false and bad accusations, making me a bad image, and considering me the main villain of the story.
Accusations
Because of certain videos, and constant discord comments, in other Sourcemod servers (such as TF2C, OF, PF2 and so On), people will constantly complain and consider the mod, accused of stealing, when in reality:
- We have a Credits menu, and Credits in item descriptions, with their respective creators.
- i Worked on Offshore, meeting new friends and people, that literally agreed for this.
- The workshop doesn't count in this case, but with a small team, you can expect lack of moderation... since we can't be everywhere, at all times...
Community/Reality
A sad thing i learned about this community, no matter what you do, how much passion you have, ideas, and if your open for suggestions/help.
People will ALWAYS be Negative and trashtalk. instead of contributing, or even asking become part of the team, like other sourcemods, when they first started their exsistence many many years ago.
Remember the videos, where they say for example, "TF2 Workshop Creators are Evil!" and such? i find it ironic, because from my experience, all the people i've meet, related to the workshop, where the most kind, and helpful ever... i worked (and probably will work on more) on maps with them, and delivered great things... like Mannstreet, Pressure, and so on...
then you got the Sourcemod community, where people will constantly judge and make fun of you, NO MATTER WHAT, and not for, fair reasons, just for the sake of it, because, your not at the same Skill level?!? Sorry buddy, Point and laugh.
From what i've experienced, People will only HELP:
- if you are a Veteran/Popular (someone well known, to be even considered)
- Offer Cash for work (since, from my experience sadly, all the coders i've meet, are mostly like this...)
And if you are None of these (like me), your not going, anywhere!!!.
i've tried learning to code, and progressed a bit, but that's not gonna help either, because, realistically it would take 5 YEARS to be good at it, to the point where i could deliver all the possible stuff, and i am not gonna take this option, NOT for lazyness, but:
- if i spend 5 years, learning, when i come back, and start working on this, it will be forgotten, and all the people will be gone.
- it's probably not cheap at All if i wanna take private lessons.
- my brain just can't handle that much...
Why not using AI if you don't wanna waste time to learn?
I prefer trying, or having an actual human on my side to talk to, instead of a bunch of idiotic answers, and snippets, wasting water, inflating ram prices, and WASTING MY TIME EVEN MORE. Thanks.
Short Summary/Skip the Textwall
- Because of the mod first impressions, people preferr hating us, instead of helping us.
- The Community is NOT willing to help us, unless we are popular/a veteran, or offer cash for work.
- i have been blocked, or straight up hated by Some Sourcemod devs/leads (for no apparent reason??? i've never interacted with them ever, or said anything remotely offensive.)
- i have tried posting mini-helps around discords, with no interest in return.
- We have lost one member on the team, for drama that we were unaware of...
- Workshop stuff is piling up my free time, to the point where i constantly gotta work on it. (Which i do enjoy, but it's time consuming)
Everything has gone downhill, and will go even further.
i just... wanted to make a passion project, and was hoping for some people to atleast give it a shot, but in return, all i got was hate, false accusations, trashtalked, and made fun by a bunch of nerds, and the worst things.
and Instead, when i started doing workshop stuff, everybody was so helpful, nice to me, and i even became close friends, where i hang out, and have calls with...
Why does it have to be like this?... again, repeated 300 times.
you wanna help? just reach the discord... that's all. i am disappointed, and tired...
i lost all the hope, and i already know it's not coming back.
We Mostly need Coders in C++, and with some Source SDK Knowledge...
i am really sorry Mixer for the wasted purchase...
