Im SeeQ | Looking To Build a Long Term Team.

I'm SeeQ

I'm 23, and I've been playing Garry's Mod since 2014, with over 4,500 hours spent in the game. I started out playing DarkRP before gradually moving into more serious roleplay communities, particularly police and military RP. Over the years, I moved from being a player into staff teams, learned how to properly administer communities, and eventually found myself managing entire servers. That's where I discovered what I genuinely enjoy: building communities. I've always enjoyed figuring out what players actually want, improving their experience and watching a community grow around something I've helped create. One of my proudest achievements was taking a small server with around 5 players and helping grow it to 50+ daily players.

But over the years, I also saw two problems repeatedly. The first was watching communities I've invested huge amounts of time into eventually collapse because owners made decisions that went against the values of their own player base. The second was seeing servers increasingly rely on aggressive monetisation and pay-to-win mechanics, prioritising revenue over the experience of the people actually playing. Eventually, I decided I wanted to build something where I didn't have to compromise on those principles.

So a year ago I decided to build my own. This is intended to be my final major GMod project, a community that I can build and manage independently, with a clear philosophy on how we treat our players, how we develop the server and how we handle revenue. I started by bringing in an old friend with extensive experience developing custom GLua systems. I also began learning Source Hammer myself so I could contribute directly to the development process. Over the past year, we've built the foundations ourselves.

We now have a completely custom map, website, game mode and a growing collection of custom systems and scripts. None of this has been outsourced to some random development team. We've built it because we genuinely believe in what we're trying to create. And we're proud of how far we've come.

But we're at the point where we need people. The foundations are there, The vision is there, The problem is manpower. We're currently working towards launching our Star Wars RP project, with the long-term goal of growing that community and eventually expanding our philosophy into other areas of roleplay. But two people simply can't build everything we want at the pace we'd like. There are still major gameplay systems, content and experiences that need to be created before we're ready to launch. That's where you could come in. We're looking to build a long term development and management team, not simply gather a bunch of people together for one project and disappear.

We're interested in people with experience in:

1. Glua / Lua Development
2. 3D Modelling
3. Animation
4. Graphic Design
5. Video Production
6. Administration
7. Event Management
8. Community Management

You don't necessarily need to be an expert. If you have an idea that you genuinely believe could make the project better, I want to hear it.

What we are trying to build

I'm not interested in creating another server that launches, peaks for a few months and disappears. I want to build a community that can exist for years. A place where the development team has a genuine say in the direction of the project, where players aren't treated as wallets, and where we're constantly improving and expanding what we've built. This is currently a volunteer project, so I'm not going to make empty promises about guaranteed payment. If the community eventually generates revenue through donations, that revenue will be distributed amongst the people contributing to the project based on their involvement. What I can promise is that I take the project seriously.

I've already spent years learning how to run communities, and over a year building the foundations of this one. I'm not looking for people to join something that I'm going to abandon six months from now. I'm looking for people who want to build something alongside me and still be here years down the line. If that sounds interesting to you, reach out. You don't have to commit to anything just by talking to us. I'd rather have a conversation, show you what we've built, explain where we're going and see whether it's something you'd genuinely want to be part of.

If you've ever wanted to help build a community from the ground up rather than simply join one, I'd love to hear from you.
