I thought I'd update you guys on how the server is going. (About time?) This is a reminder that Neptune's Deathrun Paradise is still very much a thing and I have not abandoned this project. In fact, this is the best my server has ever looked. This is mainly because I have permission from one of my friends to use his code on my server. (Very special thanks to A Chicken Nugget)

Last year I claimed that I wasn't going to put a lot of effort into my server and that it would look exactly like any other deathrun server. I am very proud to announce that this will be far from the truth. My server now looks wildly different than any other server I have seen. Given that this has happened the development of my server has greatly accelerated. You should be very excited for what's about to come!

If you want to aid in the development of the server remember to leave me a message on steam.

An exact date is still up in the air but the minimum will be 2 weeks from now but no longer than 3 months from now. (because at that point im just being a lazy ♥♥♥♥) There are very few things I want to do before I officially test the server. I'll make some changes to the mapvote and then decide whether I will test my server in single player or if I'll create a dedicated server. Afterwards I will officially test my server.

Everything about the server test:

Short answer is we will only be testing maps. This is so I can get a better idea on what maps I should or shouldn't add. The maps we will be testing are below:

Collection A
Collection B
Collection C
Collection D
Collection E
Collection F

I highly recommend only subscribing to the first link. The reason all these maps are separated into collections is because there are a lot of maps. I will post an announcement so everybody knows when to join. Leave a comment below if you want an invite instead.

My server CANNOT be found using the multiplayer search or the legacy browser. You will have to join my server by going to friends (the one on the far top left) > view friends list > right clicking my name > and joining game. If for some reason you cant join my server ask for an invite from me.

We will begin on gm_flatgrass while we wait for the rest of my friends to join. When we are all ready I will start a mapvote and you guys will decide which map we will test first. After we load into the map I will disable it in my addons menu so I know we tested that map. After we are done with the map I will use the ULX menu to start another vote. You will then rate the map between 1 and 5. If you think the map was incredible vote 1 if you think it was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ vote 5. I want at least 3 players (not including me) to vote. If the player count drops to 3 I will end the map testing and resume tomorrow. After we are done testing all the maps in Collection A we will unsubscribe from it and move on to Collection B. So on and so forth. The server test will last multiple days because we will be testing 300 maps. If a map gets overwhelmingly good ratings I might add it to my official server. Message me for questions.

The Future of My Server:

A lot of you are probably wondering when my server will be officially up. This is still up in the air and I have not been focused on my server mainly due to the fact that I don't see my server becoming something big. It is not because I doubt my abilities, it is because the game is dying. I am still going to create a deathrun server at some point but I don't think I will put as much effort into it.

This is mainly because one of my friends reopened his deathrun server and his server is probably more feature rich than any on garry's mod. He put a lot of effort into his server only for it to die in a couple of months. So I asked myself, would I work my ass off for a server that will likely die within a week regardless of how good it is? My answer is no unfortunately.

When I do create my server I will have it up for only 1 year UNLESS if it performs exceptionally well which is unlikely because my server will be the same as every other one.

Thanks,
Neptune.
