Workshop
Alkaline:
Hey guys 'n gals,
After listening to the meeting you all had on the last Friday of June, I thought for a few days that we should have a workshop for developing a gamemode or some sort of original game (something that is unique but doesn't yank the chain). Something that players would bust their balls to play. Something so edgy and random that players would have no reason not to play it. By workshop, I mean that we collaborate in this thread or somewhere else (voice especially) and brainstorm ideas. Of course, none of us have much free time and this can't become a triple A project. Ever since I thought about this, I've always had a business perspective and I don't want to drag too far away from the "We love awesome games and wish to provide them" motto.
If we ever do have a plan set and a good base to work from, it can grow gradually. One idea is that we can host [project] on the weekends for a month, give out prizes, track statistics, and check its standing.
I myself have a limited skillset but I think learning-as-I-go can work out. I enjoy working with the mechanics for systems and conditionals, and I would most definitely be willing to cooperate with you all.
I wanted to post this to get the ball rolling -- I see some opportunity in drawing a new crowd. So we can start somewhere and have fun along the way... This might be too ambitious, so I want to see what you all think about this.
And it'd be best if we keep this private for the time being.

Tbh I think it's more of a community perspective that would help populate the servers and forums. What I mean by that is actually to have people in the server hanging out and having fun. People will eventually realize it's place they can go to to have fun and will become more involved. That's always how it has been for RND but a lot of the people who would be in the servers actively previously that engaged people and were involved with everyone on the server has left or become inactive or doesn't really care any more. Really what RND needs it just those people again. Unfortunately it's not something you can force people to do, however. They have to want to be on there and having fun with everyone.
However it may help if something like a new gamemode were created just for our servers, or even just any gamemode implemented in particular that would allow people to have fun with eacother, something like Fretta possibly or something that forces people to somehow communicate with eachother a little more to play. Generally people would communicate a lot more in Fretta than TTT for example, and it was a lot easier to mess around and have fun in Fretta without breaking rules than on TTT. Me and Jman used to always have fun with everyone on Fretta for example and people used to always join if we did just to mess around and not play so seriously. So if a new game mode allowed people to play in such a way, I think that could potentially bring in a lot of new people into the community. I don't know if that's the best solution though because it takes a lot of work to start up and finish a project like that and could turn out to be a total waste of a lot of time.
But if people actually want to create a game mode for everyone and not as a chore to save the community, then that would work. I don't think that will be the case though. If a project like that were to start I would try to help in every way I could personally though.

I honestly thought of stuff like that a lot. I have a lot of cool ideas for things like that I think and realistic ways for it to work but don't really know how to actually create it and haven't stuck with learning how.

I have a few ideas in mind of how it could work...
look at this gamemode for example, inspired by a Mario Party minigame
