So about that future of the gamemode I mentioned last blog post. Yeah so we're done with it. To put it bluntly it has been incredibly draining for both of us to work on a game as steeped in drama as this. It has been fun to help see it grow but both of us really want to do more than this. Fortwars as a gamemode is fun but you can only go so far with it. However something I'm really proud of is the work we've put into the game so far. While it does have a lot to go to be "perfect", it's really solid so far.
At the very least to make sure this effort hasn't gone to complete waste we will be open sourcing the game. God knows there is a LOT of jank in there (I do not wish to speak about the hacks I had to do to get things working) but we hope that people can get at least something out of it! Along with this we'll do some general updates to make sure the game is playable after Facepunch breaks everything. You can find the repo here when kicks makes it public.
Also we are renaming it to Open Forts because of this, that's probably good information.
