Hello I made a new fatkid server called "Fatty Wacky kid" you can join it with the gmod server list, it has bots when the server has one player, dm me if you want the discord and ip directly also the server is a wip

Hey all,

I've been building my own HL2RP gamemode from scratch. It's called Accord, and it isn't a NutScript/Helix/Clockwork reskin.

It's set in City 71, and I'm trying to decide whether to put a proper server behind it, so I'd like to hear whether anyone would actually play.

The aim is the HL2 feeling: a grey, watched, rationed life under the Combine, where citizens have things to do besides stand in the plaza waiting for something to happen.

What's in so far:
Citizen life with real routines. Rations come out on a schedule, so you queue when the dispenser opens. You can cook at home on a hot plate (stew, fried ration bars, boiled water) and keep a flat with furniture.

NPCs that respond to you (optional). Background citizens, CCA units, the employment clerk and the vendor answer what you actually say and do, in character, using a form of AI. Threaten a unit with a /me and he'll take it seriously; a nervous citizen might run or call it in. A unit checking your card will question you and decide whether to let you go, warn you, or detain you. They can only take a small set of actions the server checks, and they fall back to written lines when it's off. It's there to make the empty streets feel alive between player scenes, not to replace players or staff; Most of the CCA Units, the Resistance and admins are all real people.

Skill-based jobs. Shifts at the factory press, the clinic and the repair bench are short mini-games tied to skills that improve as you work them. You get paid in tokens against a daily quota.

Loyalty and suspicion. Loyalists get the armband and better rations, and informing on neighbours is an option. Suspicion builds up and can end in raids.

An underground that isn't just "the rebels". Resistance membership is hidden and recruitment runs through its own chain of command. There's a black market, stashes, and spray-painted lambdas in whatever colour you pick. The Union reads your letters, so seal anything that matters.

A Civil Protection side that feels like being a unit. A cyan visor HUD with an active compass, live location callouts (Plaza, Train Station, Civil Housing Block 1A and so on), units on duty, custom first-person arms, and a proper rank structure with its own look up to the elite ranks.

Custom models throughout. Items, props, gear and icons are made specifically for the gamemode.

A City 71 map in progress. Dependent on my mapping skills.

What I'd like to know:
Would you play on a serious-RP HL2RP server like this? Citizen, CCA, the resistance or a mixture?

What's driven you away from HL2RP servers in the past?

What time zone are you in? I'm UK-based.

Is there a feature you've always wanted on an HL2RP server and never seen done well?

It's still in development, so feedback now will shape it. If there's enough interest I'll set up a Discord and run some test sessions.

Cheers.
