Previously, our game loop was source engine. The same as Half-Life, the same as Garry's Mod, the same as Team Fortress. Tried and tested. Although that has worked for 25 years, I felt that ultimately, over time I'd regret not switching to a simpler system.
As a result of this decision - we killed every game that was created previously.
Game Contests are something we talked about internally for a while and this seemed like a great time to start doing them. So we started building the underlying contest system and
launched our first game contest.
