I wake up in cold sweat because of that, I get severe nam style PTSD from that but yeah for real great fucking times all around. Nothing beat coming home from school and just fucking about on Facepunch or Garrysmod with everyone till it was time to go to bed
Gotta love ghost pages.
True. Last night I had a look at the Metrocop forum's Garry's Mod screenshot section and it's pretty dead as well. Source Engine artists are a dying breed, I suppose
it had a real burst of life when garry added the images in the new threads sidebar, it got people outside the section to take a look. maybe if there were like a "show in sidebar" tag for new threads it would make the section more active
To be fair it's pretty time-consuming and alot of the old guard (myself included) have very limited or not time at all to sit down for a couple hours to create the perfect images. In my case I also felt that my outdated hardware kept me from developing my skills further which more or less killed off my inspiration.
I hope our subforum will survive because without FP I wont feel the need to create anything in gmod. And I dont want to abandon it again.
I think the source community is still somewhat alive, Gmod's player count is fairly steady https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/710/2ad28556-ebaf-4579-a713-e45765f2587e/image.png and as long as there are players I dont see why there wont be a relatively unvarying percentage of them doing art stuff (at least I HOPE so) I think if something's changing, its the content and platforms, there are a LOT of people constantly submitting into the steam community's garry's mod artworks for example (I'm less sure about SFM tho) this subforum is a closed circle, little to no new joins and not much keeping people from leaving. while a shame, I accept that the subforum might die, but I'm certainly not gonna let that stop me from practicing my most favorite hobby I'm also interested in seeing how S&Box plays out, with UE4 and new techy stuff to toy with possibilities truly do become endless, I'm hoping that with the right tools made accessible, more people will start posing again
Gmod aint dead, SFM is deffo not dead imo its just FP
You can't expect this subforum to be as active as it was before. A lot of people have moved on after becoming older. The newer Gmodders could care less about making screenshots too, so eh. Everything dies eventually regardless.
It's not over yet!
Frost certainly makes it sound like it is. You'll know the subforum is dead when there's weeks or months between posts. At the moment, its on the slow end. The jump to Newpunch and the overall fucking up of the forums didn't help. Some advertisement when you post pics elsewhere would help, I think. Draw people here. Yes, you'll get some shitty people joining up in the process, but still.
Agreed, a simple 'facepunch thread: link' when you post a picture elsewhere is enough to get a nice boost in population
I am pretty sure there are loads of people doing their own artistic screenshots in Garry's Mod, but I assume they're mostly publishing them on Steam instead of any internet forum.
God how I fuckin miss this feature Not sure why they added it in the first place, after it was gone they were pretty reluctant on re-adding it. Gammers rise up, riot until we get it back The Steam / DeviantArt community seems pretty lively. I think the problem is the Source art community is scattered everywhere, no one knows what the fuck this website is anymore. What Viox and Infab suggested could help but I wouldn't get my hopes up over it, the desolation of threads might deter people from posting anything plus forums are freakin' scary dude.
They removed it because it was a source of shitposting, or something along those lines iirc.
Just found out that this Slovakian gaming site stole one of my screenshots for an article about Spec Ops: The Line. What the fuck? https://www.sector.sk/files/novinky//vyvojari-spec-ops-the-line-by--image-549.jpg
Yo are you peeps fans of any machinima I'm a big fan of Nigbone even though i just found it 2 days ago but i mostly watched Kitty and BoSchitt vids. Except for, weirdly, two series that are technically a bit crap. I mean both have effort put in relative to their producers but thats about it and they're both "Gmod Zombie Apocalypse" series. Just fun to watch.
Any machinima? Not just the Source Engine ones? In that case; I enjoy GamerPoop https://youtu.be/k5FRbZ1zZm4?t=145
Yeah any imo red vs blue is complete shit though
I know perskins for some is not fondly looked upon, but I was looking back at the last perskin shot I took two years ago and started to feel nostalgic. It was a good one to end on. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/107155/d2ee229a-258a-4f7e-be9a-4e231f3b69ec/watchingBirbs.jpg I've been doing school and professional game dev since. To be honest, it was perskins and gmod modding that gave me the push I needed to take the plunge, so thanks. Keep doing what you do you beautiful bastards. I don't check this section as often as I like anymore, but every time I do, I see you all crushing it. Keep up the good work.
A meteor struck the Perskins office and killed all of us dead. Let us take a moment to remember those who perished. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/107155/9b8e1f4b-4fe0-4d39-98b5-b2edff97e724/FacesOfTheThread.jpg
You look back on perskins with a fond memory now, but all the horrible shit that went on behind the scenes would beg to differ. It's been said to death during it's time and it's opening up old wounds now, but that thread was a fucking cesspit.
Everything was perfect FT. Now take your rainbow pill.
Nowadays I go with the principle that shame shouldn't be deleted, but rather preserved so it can be learned from However, the perskins thing is on a different level entirely. Bathe it in acid and dump it under sixty tons of concrete.
Fucking GhoiOOOoOSt MpPAPAge
Ladies and gentlemen, the moment has finally arrived. Jason meets Jason, we have come circle after all these years https://i.imgur.com/WNdR2S8.jpg
And now that it's a picture, this moment will last forever!
Happy birthdboy for me time to spend it making fuckin source pictures
Some thiefs left us two days without electricity for stealing all the wiring on my street and the cops "didn't know anything" and the incompetent power company despite the reports didn't show up until today because "The on-call staff were on vacation" Thanks thiefs. Now all the meat from the fridge is lost.
Man you really look like Ron Jeremy
